I would pick "Breaking Out" instead of "The Hounds", it could show us the moment in which Joe makes his resolve... Also, it would be epic to see The City as Joe rides alone...
I know I am INCREDIBLY late to the party, but I LOVE this! This is fantastic! It fits the song perfectly! I'm kinda new to the whole Mega Man franchise, but I've been digging through the lore and the fan works to get a feel for the hype it used to stir up in people back when it was "the new thing". The games themselves are pretty good (extremely difficult though - sweet mercy! MY BLOOD PRESSURE), but it's the story and the fan tributes (particularly those of the Megas and the Protomen) that really got me into the series to begin with! But I digress. This is an awesome video! I love the Protomen and their dark, edgy reimagining of the OG Mega Man! You did a really great job matching the sound and visuals! Love it! 😄
What an excellent video, my good sir. I hope you find the inspiration and will to do all Act 1 and maybe 2, because your work is outstanding. My sincere congratulations
How does this not have a million views. I know the song is out already with larger view counts, but DAMN get this video out. I don't go out to see movies any more. I Look forward to actual art, like this.
I did like elements of this better than the original video. Mainly one element: The entire battle scene. The original video just, wasn't as clear with the imagery. Maybe I could do a mashup sometime of the two vids, I could imagine that looking incredible. I did like this a lot though for the record
(okay this comes with a disclaimer that I'm neurodivergent and I'm hyperfixating HARD on The Protomen rn) but holy shit this is one of the most impactful things I've seen in my life another disclaimer is that I know next to nothing about the original Megaman games... comics? I guess there's comics? or maybe you drew the comics too I wouldn't be surprised, this whole thing is just incredibly well made your skills are god tier I'm assuming you made the video parts, like the cosplay and everything? It's so, so good!! And how it flows between 2D and 3D, and all those visual effects, and comic's text being overlayed and put effects on, and how incredibly it matches the music absolute masterpiece
It was too ambitious and too time consuming for a solo fan project, unfortunately. I really did want to get to Unrest/Will of One and I had Sons of Fate animations storyboarded. I shifted my focus towards original stuffs.
No prob man, do whatever you want to do :) I appreciate you shared this with us, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see the Sons of Fate storyboard! If you ever feel like sharing.
May I ask how you were able to get this uploaded? I'm lookin' to do something like this for the whole album but I can't figure out how to avoid copyright obstacles.
This was incredibly well made. This is 1000x better than the official Hope Rides Alone music video. More, please. I BEG OF YOU, GOOD SIR.
I love the new designs of the robot masters they look so meancing and evil i want action figures based off of them
How am I only discovering this now? Fantastic video! :D
they either have to do light up the night or the hounds, arguably the best songs from act 2

Keep quiet is my favorite but I live them all so much. Although give us the rope sounds kinda strange idk if I like that one
aawsome time who ever made this needs to do more with the music like make a music video for the good doctor or the hounds or light up the night.

Hey Billosopher, love your DA page and blog! Hope to see more great stuff from you here!
Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis is epic. I hope to see more from you. cause you blew minds with this.
I honestly wish this guy would make the will of one in this style.
I wish too, haha. I planned to do the full album and that's the song I wanted to do the most.
Who dislikes? Light and Megaman?
I certainly prefer the style of the original, but this is fucking good
Outstanding.
Great art.
You should Make more of these
Awesome! I remember there was a plan to make comics for the other songs at some point (and maybe even a website?) any update on that?

Billosopher You want to share that storyboard?

Nice
WHO DISLIKED THIS!? I MUST KNOW!!!
Holy shit.
The comics down and that sucks. I wanted to see it again.
