Awesome Mega Man Gameplay Mosaic

This is super impressive mosaic made by neogaf forum member jarosh entirely out of Mega Man screenshots. Around 1,500 of them, encompassing the first six games in the Mega Man franchise. Dammit, Dr. Wily, why won't you die?! Insufferable taint.

they're not completely random, however, they're taken from playthroughs of mega man 1 - 6 (one screenshot taken every x seconds). every stage is in there, from every classic nes mega man game.

i also made a little gallery with all the boxes and cartridges of all the games from every region (at the very bottom).

and there's what you could call a little easter egg in there (for my own convenience really :P ): two rows of screenshots at the bottom (surrounded by a black outline) that show all the weaknesses of robot masters, wily castle bosses and wily machines. all of those screenshots were edited by hand (and it took f***ing FOREVER). you'll see it in the detail shots.

the whole thing was printed on canvas and mounted on a wooden frame. full size: 120 x 109 cm (that's about 4 ft tall).

Good job, jarosh. Or should I say, DR. LIGHT?! Dum dum dum! No? Cool I was just checking.

Hit the jump for a bunch of closeups, but it's worth checking out jarosh's original post on neogaf for higher-res versions.

hey gaf, i thought i'd share this little mega man art project i just finished [neogaf forums]

Thanks to SarahV, who I'm putting in charge of making Zelda ones and giving me half the proceeds from sales. Oh come on, I came up with the idea!

  This is a small (but growing) series of Nintendo game characters (games for Nintendo, not all made by Nintendo) as traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints by Geekologie reader Ezra's illustrator friend Jed Henry. This is Samus here, but there's a Link and Mega Man after ... / Continue →
• Mmmm, Paint Fumes: Wicked Metroid Graffiti

  December 11, 2009

  Samus Aren, arguably the sexiest thing with a cannon for an arm (toss up between Mega Man), is looking good here on what may or may not be the bathrooms in the rear of a gas station (it's actually an art store). Created by artist Allen Hampton, you can tell she's about to PEW ... / Continue →
• Wow, That's Pretty Brutal: 8-Bit Fatalities

  May 7, 2009

  Flickr user tastypaints.com has a dream. A dream about what Mortal Kombat-style fatalities would look like in oldschool, 8-bit games. Nice, tastypaints (I'll keep him occupied, you call the nuthouse). Before Mortal Kombat, violence in video games was largely unheard of or ... / Continue →
