Amazing "Rockman 123" Tribute Art is Amazing


There's something so visually tantalizing about these pieces from Pixiv artist Taru Souga that I just had to post them here. The effortless convergence of bold lines, high shadows and limited colors make these pieces a true feast for the eyes. You could say the whole style is reminiscent of Atsushi Nishigori's handiwork in Gurren Lagann. Oh, and be sure to hit the jump for Souga's Rockman 3 piece. It's the best of the lot, IMO.

I don't know about you, but I'd love to see Souga tackle the remaining Classic series games. I've got to get this stuff on a poster or something!

I don't think we should mention Gurren Lagann.

The fanboys are too loud. XD

Nice Rock and Blues. The positioning reminds me of one of my favourite pieces from R20.

This person should have been hired as the cover artist for these 25th anniversary discs lol...;)

I'd love to see a Gainax-produced Megaman anime. Perhaps when the planets are in alignment.

Great, you just made me imagine Roll with Gainax chest.

Those are incredible! I hope he does the rest of the classic series or at least does more Rockman tribute art.
