#megaman volnutt
Went to town on my sketchbook today. Didn’t realize how much I needed to feel an ink pen in my hands.
About 5 years ago, I brought you the production art from Megaman Volnutt’s ending from the Japanese edition of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. After knowing of it’s existence and missing out on it in the time since, I can now say have obtained the production artwork for Roll’s ending!
Once again, these are not to be confused with the Western edition of the game, which had art done by the UDON crew based on these scenes, but drawn and presented a little differently. These static artwork pieces show up before the animated endings for the characters. So this is now everything Megaman-related, as Zero was only an Ultimate All-Stars exclusive, and wasn’t included in this version.
What I have here covers 2 of the 3 ending cutscene images. It does not contain the first scene, in which Roll has fallen into the factory and appears a bit hurt.
First up, 4 production pieces for the second scene, which has Roll finding Huitzil from Darkstalkers and Vector from Star Gladiator in the abandoned factory, and powering them on. There are a few pose variations for Roll, to go with a fully detailed background without character obstruction.
The next 4 are from the 3rd and final scene, in which Roll presents them to Rock and Dr. Light as helpful housekeeping robots. Besides the full group image, there is one each with Roll separate from the others, and a full unobstructed background of Dr. Light’s lab.
The last pic is a little interesting. It’s a back view of Megaman Volnutt that, based on his position, makes it seem like he maybe was being considered to take the place of Rock/Dr. Light, or both, in this scene. Can’t say I recall him in this pose in any other ending, including his own, so I will just assume this is a lost concept of his inclusion into this ending.
These files have been added into my Google Photos album with the Volnutt images HERE.
You can also access them at full HQ resolution (back to a ridiculous 13200 x 10000~ish pixels) in my Drive HERE.
