Ages ago I said I’d give the MMX girls a little love since they don’t really get any, but I didn’t have time to clean up the ridiculous amount of doodles I did of them until recently. I realized too-late that I completely forgot to include Marino & Cinnamon, so I’m making them a special something to make up for being left out. (Click for captions! Please full-view, I know the text is small.)
There’s not as much ZeroX in this one as usual (mostly because it’s the MMX ladies’ time to shine), but also because I’ve been writing a lot of fanfic for them lately! You should definitely check it out if Megaman X fanfic is your thing (‘A Matter of Caring’ is a good one to start with! > w o).
I’m still a little bitter about Iris’ “character arc” (I use that term very loosely) so I created an AU where she doesn’t die just for the sake of man-pain. If I had the chance to rewrite MMX4, I would’ve made it so you don’t have to kill her, and I’d give X the opportunity to fight Iris too. I think X is the only person who’d be able to help Iris rethink her whole “world only for Reploids” ideology. I’d love to see Iris go on to be an advocate for Reploid rights and an emissary for / helping with human / reploid relationships. I’ve still got a lot of thoughts about this, but that’s the gist. I know I said “remind me to never do another sketchdump” in my last sketchdump…yet here we are. I think I’m just going to have to accept my roll as the sketchdump person of the fandom!
