I tried to add a skeleton to the demon model made by jharrison which I am using for the texture practice assignment. It didn't work too well. I'll get more practice on that later. Anyway, for the texture I decided on making the demon dark blue, opposing to the usual red perceived as the evil colour. The claws and nails are a yellowish colour to show that they aren't very looked after. There is a lot of blood on the demon, around his mouth and on the soles of his feet. It's best not to say how it got there.
One thing I don't like is shading the model. It's strange to think that shading would be required seeing as the lighting in a game environment should produce shadows on the model. However, the shading adds depth to the texture. The model should be textured by Monday I'll post the finished work then.
Sea of Ghosts: Maskelyne redesign
Progress on the Maskelyne redesign is going well. I'm trying to make him look thin with a tired aggressive look to make him look villainous. He has pale skin as I feel being rich and a unmer researcher he spends a lot of time inside doing research.
He wears fancy clothes as he is rich which are bright in colour. They are dark red and peachy coloured. He has long, boney arms and is holding a unmer artifact. I have yet to draw this, but due to the way I decided to shade, it looks like the light comes from the artifact. The art should be finished next friday. I'll post an image of it then. The picture will contain a front view a nd back view of Maskelyne, both at a 3/4 angle view.
Here is the finished work:
I'm glad I got to draw Maskelyne as I feel he is ine of the most interesting characters from a Sea of Ghosts. He can be funny but also has a cruel side. But he sees the logic in everything, even his own bad actions. This makes for an interesting character.
Anyway, I still have the same problem of drawing characters but I think there has been a slight improvement. I still need to work on arms and legs and try to make them look more realisitc (in terms of proportions.

Mega Man X
The Mega Man X series is a continuation of the Mega Man series of games in the 22nd century. Being set 100 years after the classic Mega Man games allows a new stories and characters to emerge. One such character is Mega Man X. He is actually Dr Light's (mentioned in the last post) last robot. Mega Man X (X from now on) is discovered by an archaeologist named Dr. Cain who uses him to create Reploids, which are generally robots based off of X with complete free will. Unfortunately, some of these robots become hostile and X must do something about it.
The first game was Mega Man X on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1993. here is a list of the Mega Man X games in chronological order within the story (the years are when they were first released):
Here is a video by Egoraptor describing the differences between the two series of Games and how generally Mega Man X is an overall improvement and challenges the player.

Mega Man: Classic Games
The Mega Man series celebrated its 25th anniversary late last year on 17th December 2012. This anniversary is from the date the first Mega Man game was released on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and Famicom (as 'Rock Man') in Japan.
The Mega Man games are usually 2D platform games which allow the player to use weapons to defeat enemies instead of the traditional jumping on them as seen in another 2D platforming series; Super Mario Bros. Oddly enough, according to Shigeru Miyamoto, the man who helped create most of Nintendo's most iconic series'such as Super Mario and The Ledgend of Zelda, said in a recent interview with Famitsu Magazine that Super Mario Bros/ would have originally had guns, similar to Mega Man.
Fortunately, the development team realised that with Super Mario Bros. relatively slow moving enemies, using guns would make Mario way to over powered and would take the fun from the game. Because of this change in decision, two great series were able to form.
The games are based heavily around the idea of futuristic robots where almost everything in the games are robots. Each stage in the classic games are named after the boss at the end of them which grant Mega Man a power if he defeats them. To get through the levels the player must run, jump and fire weapons upon the enemies while avoiding projectiles all at the same time. For this reason, Mega Man games have often been said to have been difficult. This also could be also because at the time games were quite short, so to make them last longer developers would make them difficult to make them last longer. Notable examples of this are Battletoads (I know this from personal experience) and Ninja Gaiden.
Here is a timeline of the classic Mega Man games on NES:
Mega Man games were also set in a futuristic setting, in the early 21st century. A few of the games reference this by saying either that the year is 200X or 20XX. The basic story for these games is that Dr Light and his robots (Mega Man and a girl named Roll) are constantly fighting with an evil Dr Named Dr Wily.
