The steady drip of concept art from the Secret Level episode Mega Man: Start continues with a behind-the-scenes look at Dr. Light's lab. Luis Meija, the senior concept artist at Illusorium Studios, has shared new artwork showcasing the central location of the short. The images reveal intricate details, unseen areas, such as the return of Dr. Light's microwave from Mega Man 11.
While a lot of the extra details and areas didn’t make it into the final episode, it’s interesting to see how much thought went into the early concepts. Little touches—like the chicken in the microwave—are the kind of things fans will definitely appreciate.
Mega Man: Start is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Now that's a lab! I'd wished that this was the final product! I still like the episode though.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly, my favorite detail is the small-but-functional living space on the right of the third image. Dr. Light is usually associated with either a pure lab setting or a homely cottage in the country, but the “studio apartment within a massive laboratory” almost suits him the best. He seems like someone who’d neglect self care and housekeeping for his work (which is probably why Roll exists, haha).
ReplyDeleteI agree. A lab should have a living space. I actually like that detail too.
