Showcase - Megaman Zero Official Complete Works

Ohh the front cover shines, so yes it's amazing

If you give play is more amazing the post ... of course is optional 

Well, here we are again and I think this book of art from long ago that was in sight, not to give you a long boring text about how much I wanted this art book, but I had contemplated for 2 years, but until a few days ago I could get my hands on and I'm pretty excited to show everything in the book and when I say everything I mean it, so get ready for spoilers but do not worry, I tell you when the spoilers begin.

A shiny zero

Relying on previous Showcases  I have done, this  art book is thinner in comparison to the others, because it has only 180 pages but are colorful and beautifully worked, and for me is reason enough to buy it (that, and I really love the character: Zero) based on this I hope to show this art book in great detail, as it runs along the Rockman Zero series by the hand of Toru Nakayama.

For a good start with this art book would not be bad to know where it comes from or why the Zero shown in it art book is different from who we met in the X series, well that's because this Zero is the continuation of the series X (102 years have passed since the events of Megaman X) was also created by Keiji Inafune and was in charge of developing it by Inti Creates for the Game Boy Advance and therefore the art direction for Inafune and Nakayama changes to the series, as according to the interviews I have the book, Zero was intended to be more human and not just behave, but rather that looked like a human physically.

The four games in the series

This book covers all 4 games in the series that were made for the Game Boy Advance and show the direction of art that has Nakayama for the series that I think fits very well to the laptop as pixel art that you see in the game coincides perfectly with the overall vision we have of the world and especially the art is consistent with that work.


I guess you are a little boring to read so much text and not see many pictures of the book, well, I guess you're right it is an art book but it is great to know a little more about the book before you buy it, after all is always good to know very well what you want before you buy something.

We started with the introduction of art showing us all 4 games as well as conceptual art featuring characters from the series and especially the development of events in the game for it to happen this sequel.

Well here is where we start with the spoilers that I mentioned before. I'll try to have as few as possible.

Story of Megaman Zero

Now for the characters that I like about them is that this very strong personality with just see them and that tells me they are well designed.

Zero ohh Yeah!

Ciel ... is very cute

     
        

                      

Dr. Weil you say you're still human but ...

I think there is plenty of enemies, some very curious and others ... well better see for yourself.

I see an elephant and does not look friendly

It's pretty cool that you can see the illustrations and simultaneously the pixel art in the game of the enemy here

The concept art of these dudes is cool

New skills in this game and not based on improvements based on parts that you could collect but rather in memory chips called Cyber ​​Elf, that help you in different ways along the history.

I think I get excited and ended up being a pretty long post, but at the end of the day one can appreciate it for what it is, an art book quite complete and very good art of the games that is what we want from these books. As usual I put the links to get it and just let me wish you a good weekend and I hope the post does justice to this art book of megaman zero, see you in a next post.
