Shame on me! >< Who could forget them!? But they don't have the spunk Axl possesses, and they don't have guns. They need guns! If Axl was a girl, there'd be only ONE hyperactive Reploid girl... with a gun! (In case you've not gotten this, I am just trying to cover my butt. XP) But damn it, I forgot them... - -;

You know, that is quite a good point. "Axl" would have to change into something else, though. Not "Axelle" as was suggested, but... what about "Myriad"? Sounds like a pretty darn good girl Reploid name to me, AND fits with the character well enough. And instead of two guns, perhaps hand-to-hand combat like Cinnamon has, or with the feet? That'd be rather original. Or perhaps something like, for example, a shield? Colour scheme should be a little different. No pink, so *she* can keep on going on and on how cool *her* version of the Ultimate Armour is: "Pink Myriad"! Perhaps a kind of yellow combined with black. And the hair goes down and won't get any longer (or she'll get hair-length compition from Zero), and more reddish. I hate the orange. Orange goes better for armour-colours.

And the reason I didn't mention the Command Mission girls was that I was thinking more traditional Megaman platforms... You don't exactly run around and kill stuff with them the same way on CM. =P

Okay, I hate to double post, but I just doodled a picture for this. =P I just had to post it, and knowing my luck, if I just edited my last post, no one would notice it. ^^;

I changed the chest armor, and of course the face and hair a bit, but really, I mostly left his design the same. I might color this sometime. It was kinda fun to draw.

I didn't mean all videogame girls act that way, but considering that Axl is like comedy relief, young, and created by Capcom, they would be some assumptions to how a female side character fitting in those categories would act.

Also, the main difference between my female Axl and, say, Samus or Laura Croft is that the other two are older/mature and they are main characters of their own series.

I know how to show you guys how a female Axl would act! Think about Pallete. The three navis have, more or less, the same personalities as their male counterparts. So, the question is, would you want to play as Pallete instead of Axl?

Besides, whenever I think about playable female characters (that is if they weren't the main characters in the first place), I feel they are just tacked on. Harvest Moon and Pokemon are good examples (but at least Harvest Moon put some more features than just changing the game sprites). Boost sex appeal and a desperate attempt to garner the female audience when the series is not bringing in as much money as they hope. This works the other way if the cast is female and then they introduce a male later on in the series.

And about your picture, Ri, I wish I could draw so clear lines. You know, that crystal on the chest is kinda in the way... No wonder the females have it more on the collarbone than on the chest...

NO! Just NO! A female Axl and Pallete are totally different. First of all, a female Axl would be HOT!! *puts on a Metool Helmet* Second, same personalities or not, Pallette is annoying! It's her high voice and whiney attitude. "Listen to ME!" Thridly, I don't like Pallette's design, so that takes away the image of a cool character. If they made Pallette look less weird and talk less annoying, then MAYBE Pallete would be my favorite character. ...:hehe:; *reaches for his self destruct button*

And that's a great pic, Ri. Much better than my sorry attempt on the board. :P Yours look a lot more femme than mine.

I don't think Break was referring to the character's physical design... and he meant a comparison between male Axl and Pallete, not female Axl and Pallete.

I agree all the way with RD there. And didn't Axl talk whiny and annoying in X7?

Nice pic, Ri!

..I didn't think the Command Mission girls were part of the X series anyway.

Also Capcom has done one good female lead: Mia Fey. Sure she's got cleavage up the wazoo and is pretty, but she's intelligent and tough.

Nice picture, really. I think you got the feminine side, without going overboard. That design could have worked in X7.

Spoiler about Mega Man X8 (click to toggle)
But I do it in Mega Man X8... ;) And it's a nice change, too. Not exactly Earth shattering, especially since the plot is gone when you choose to play with the navigators, but it does give a bit of a hint on how things could be different.

Oh yeah, one question - how do you ink your lines? I like how the inner ones are all slightly thinner than the outer border. Me and my pen, we just can't do that for some reason...

That was all pencil, lol. I cleaned it up with a kneaded eraser, too... Which you can find at your local office max for like, seventy five cents. I also tweaked the contrast a bit in Photoshop to darken the lines up a bit. ^^ When I do ink, I usually use a micron .02 mm micron technical pen. They're like... two or three bucks. Or sometimes a ballpoint pen. ... Okay, probably more information than you needed. ^^; Sorry for babbling!

It is very nice. I commend you, Rioni. It actually reminds me a lot of Mana.EXE's artwork, the way you did the lines.

Mana's gotten godly as of late. I've been keeping up with her DA account. You have gotten amazing as well, Rioni. o_o Even more so than you two were originally, I mean. XD

On another note, I like Axl. His voice was pretty realistic sounding in Command Mission, and his power was fun to use. I never played X7 though, so if he was terrible in that, I wouldn't know. I liked him okay in X8 too though. And I liked all of the navigators.

I DIDN'T LIKE CINNAMON. AT ALL. XD

Anyways, great job with the pic, like I said. I think I'd like a female lead in an X game. :D

What he said and they can just add Roll back in and there's your female lead. It was fun equipping him with the ice gattler in X8 because I get to say" say hello to my little friend". :)

Axl is a quiet, calm, patient type. If he were to become a bad guy during the X series, he would make a truely wicked boss. I say this because, look at Double, he pulled it off quite nicely, thats why he has got to be my number one favorite character in the entire X series.

With all due respect are you using your head to store rocks or something? Double sucked just as much as Axl, which is alot of Suckage... Now to refer to your cool, calm, patient comment. Play X7 and tell me after the first stage and first cutscene and tell me he's got it all toegether. "Ooh, ooh, I've always wanted to be a hunter, make me one, PLLLLLLLLEEEEEAAASSSSE!"

Which is why I throw Holy water at my computer whenever I accidentally click a link to Fanfiction.net. Oddly enough I have to keep buying new computers after the Holy water. Must be the demons of XP being exorcised.

Every guy who read this topic probably thought of that. Hahaha. Well, I did at least.

Axl isn't a girl because girls aren't the intended target audience for Megaman games. The girls who do play them seem to be alright with playing as male characters, but do you really think most little boys want to save the day with a girl? Not really.

Right but that's the point. Axl is a pointless character anyway so why not make him interesting? It's not like him being a girl would make the series sell poorly.

Besides..if he was a stacked girl, sales would go UP.
