Bahamut Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm sure the original artist could add flames in the background while keeping the blue X with blue/yellow logo. I understand that the album concept calls for carnage on the coverart. But tbh, in the red one X looked like he had turned Maverick himself. ;P Actually if you look carefully, you should see that X is still blue in the original - the hue of red is from the flames. I can see what you mean though, but I think it fits nicely despite that although I guess that's a point people can have legitimately differing opinions on. I think perfect cover art is incredibly difficult and this one nails almost everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoKSX Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's a tough call. I like that the red flames are instantly recognizable as flames, as opposed to the blue... mist. I don't like the green tinge on X's helmet on the all-blue ones. pu_freak's latest one brings out X's color scheme (to be really picky, the visor lining his helmet should be a lighter blue), and I do like the gold letter X in the logo. It's a question of whether the blue and red clash too much; the original, red one has simplicity in its favor, although there might still be room to make the X gold. Whichever color scheme wins, I do like the art in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavos Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (to be really picky, the visor lining his helmet should be a lighter blue) Done and decreased the hue on the red, so that the contrast between the blue and the red isn't that big anymore. I know you're not going to use it Baha, but still: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkflamewolf Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I actually like that version the best out of all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Delta Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It is the final logo - you know, I was a bit iffy at first with the logo, but I like it a lot. I think it works pretty well, gives off an edgy, futuristic feel to it that exudes some grit. Don't get me wrong Bahamut, I think the destroyed look works perfectly. I actually dig the weathered, scratched look of the Megaman X logo. The color scheme looks great too. It gives the feeling of the overwelming threat of the mavericks. It's the particular font chosen for the text "Maverick Rising", the gradient effect on that same particular block of text, and the gradients on the explosion-esque graphic behind the entire logo I don't like. It feels so "amateur photoshop". Like someone dragged the line tool repeatedly in different directions to make shapes and slapped overlays on the whole thing. I just don't feel it suits the amount of effort the rest of the cover seems to project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate_Slayer Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It is the final logo - you know, I was a bit iffy at first with the logo, but I like it a lot. I think it works pretty well, gives off an edgy, futuristic feel to it that exudes some grit.This is the next album folks! We have a tentative date we're shooting for next month for release. The assets are in, and the music is finalized, although we may have a late entry . Get excited! I've been tracking this for a while, maybe not as long as some of you on this thread but when is it coming out?! I'm growing impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think later this month, so within 3 weeks. Your patience will be rewarded soon enough, Ultimate Slayer. Trust me. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleJCrb Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wouldn't it be hilarious if the entire existence of this album was a highly elaborate hoax? In fact, I'm almost certain it actually doesn't exist and Bahamut has, like Capcom, just been trolling Mega Man fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanky Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well that'd be the most anticipated hoax since the internet. After two (or three) years of waiting, a month more (or another year) shouldn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 You know, I've been thinking Why not push the date back for three months to allow MORE SONGS on there? And when those are done, push it back again This album should be continuously pushed back and become so bloated that the only people around to see it will be people that weren't alive during its conception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 So, turn this album into OCR's own Duke Nukem Forever of Chinese Democracy? I already tried that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
