Default Site Contest Reboot Again.

alright, im not back 100% yet, but i guess im going to go ahead and post the next contest anyway. this is the Megaman double element boss competition, it can be any bittage from any MEGAMAN game. the rules are as follows:

1:it must be a megaman boss but it can be for any megaman series.

2:it can be any style so long as it is a style used in a megaman game.

3:metal and none do not count as 1 of the 2 elements you must use.

okay, so, the placing system is going to be the same as the last contest, that being said, im still going to edit it into this post when i have the time. if you have any questions then PM me.


i forgot to mention that you have to give me enough poses to be sure what he can do and what kind of elemental attacks he uses, you will miss out on some points if i cant tell, so it would be best to explain what the sprites are doing. this contest ends in 2 weeks.

...Huh? So it can be a Robot Master, Maverick, Navi, Fortress boss, Mutos or Pseudoroid? Too much freedom.

I'm not so sure about that Blackhook. Yes, that many series choices open up a load of choices, but take a closer look at the restrictions this one has.
Especailly these two: Dual element and Boss. Why?
Proper Megaman bosses have a single theme.
So the tricky restrictive part of this is coming up with a single theme that encompasses two elements. Classic, X and EXE (I don't think every element types like Element man qualify for this) do not have any dual element bosses. So theres no precedent in there. A little easier with Zero and ZX series, given you might find a suitible mythological one for Zero series, and ZX is pretty much the same. Still most of those follow a single theme as well.

Plus the easy way out is ALSO removed, as metal and none (I assume normal, blade, ect. also don't count), So this one has plenty of challenge to it. Maybe not so much sprite quality wise, but definitely design wise.

(theres ANOTHER easy way out... but those clever enough to notice deserve to take it.)

Honestly, I have no idea now that I think about it. I don't believe its chemical elements (like on the periodic chart) though.

I tend to forget about lightning/wind types because in some games they count as the same.

it can be any one of those, and the elements im talking about is stuff like: fire, water/ice, wood/nature, earth, wind/elec/thunder kind of thing, no none,metal,blade, or any of those. and yes, water and ice/thunder and elec and wind count as the same things.

EDIT: added more to the first post.

I'll try to participate, but you can expect me not to do it in the end. It just seems like a very cool contest.

well... im not sure it would have very good results if i cant tell how the boss would fight, appearances dont always give away everything and i figured that would be a good addition to the rules.

How about at least a description of attacks?

Depending on how much time I got this week, I may not get a full complete sheet in anyways.

I had an idea and started it. But then my computer froze and I lost all of it. I'm most likely going to make only a few poses or nothing at all.

Oh wow.

My computer updated automatically and restarted while I was sleeping and actually made me lose the sheet I had already done.

Damn it, I really do hate the fact that I never save my work every chance I get...

Fortunately, I may still be able to remake the sheet, at least as much from memory...

Edit: I'm still in the contest, but people could probably take advantage of my mishap to get ahead. *Hint hint*

No, I did not plan on this and no I did not intentionally do this to give you people a "chance" at winning. D:<

Still remaking them.

But I do have a backup plan, sort of.

Edit:

Name:  Pyrrha_ZX.png
Views: 107
Size:  13.5 KB

Pyrrha (pronounced "Pyr-Ah"), and her other counterpart (not identified yet), are the successors to Pandora and Prometheus role as Model V's servant. She willingly fused with a fragment of Model V and follows the newest incarnation of Model V (not identified yet) in hopes to see her desire to see the world reset come to fruition, a world free of mavericks.

Like Prometheus, Pyrrha has a rather sadistic personality especially towards reploids. Her hatred for reploids stems from her hatred towards maverick attacks against humans and the world, as reploids are the root of the maverick plague. Ironically, by fusing with Model W, Pyrrha became the very thing she swore against. Nevertheless, she views this as an inevitability in order to see her dreams come true.

Like Prometheus and Pandora, Pyrrha has dual elemental abilities, her's being fire and wind/lightning. Pyrrha's twintails act as her weapons, as linear cannons that can transform into superheated lances. The cannons fire electrified hypersonic spikes at a blinding speed. Upon contact, the spikes both impale the target's body and shocks them into a stunned state. Pyrrha has a tendency to hover in midair and rain spikes in all directions.

As a lance, Pyrrha's ability switches to that of fire. Slammed into the ground, she creates an expanding tornado of fire. In terms of gameplay, players standing near the eye of the storm to avoid getting hit, as long as they don't stand where Pyrrha stabs the ground.

Disclaimer: Based on ZX:A's take on Model A, Model V and his other forms (Prometheus and Pandora) take on unique appearances that may resemble certain reploids. For example, Model A resembles Axl, but is not Model Axl; Albert's combat forms is similar to Lumine, but is not Model Lumine. Pyrrha looks and even functions similarly to a certain reploid from several centuries back but is still just Model V. ;D

---------------------

I'm rather disappointed by the amount I have done for the sheet, but more so to my indecision to save my first sheet.

I'll probably add more later (not for this contest).

Sheet is fully scratched and has 13 colors + 1 transparency.

Concept art (spoiler for size).

Edit: In retrospect, I don't think I executed the effects very well. :/
