Very quick doodle for 'The Devil You Know (Unfortunately)' as a combo of the last two ZX week prompts. Hope y'all have had fun!

Happy ZX week! At the halfway ppint it's all about the NPCs... and I do so love doggos.

Sketch attempt at Model O for day 3 of ZX week! (Yes it's a little early for Canada. But not in Australia!!). There's no official art, so... if you want something done right, do it yourself!!

I have previously tried to make myself a Model O (And boy did it end up being quite a process) but I have to admit that someone by the name of Kuu-Krit also did a really good version. It's really hard to design something off a really small sprite, y'know? Are those little pale bits by the 'chin' plates or bolts? Does he have weird shading on the face or, if you look really close, are those actually dark-coloured stripes on his cheeks?? Honestly IDFK. But I took another attempt at it. We don't even get a side view of the poor thing, yeesh...

*Edot* looks likr there's another 3D model out there I missed

ZX Discord gives me ideas lol

Just some doodle for day 2 of ZX week. (Protag +family/solitude) I decided to make some FK art because I could.

[tyrantchimeraart]

An extra bonus from me to celebrate Megaman ZX's 19th anniversary, and the beginning of ZX Week 2025!! Please enjoy~!

Happy ZX week 2025 everyone! (July 6th-12th)

Howl, Oh Sun

Despite developing an artstyle partially based on the Okami one, I've never actually done any Okami-related art. So have an Amaterasu Oukamiyo-e! I have some new inks to test, so this one was only touched up very minimally digitally.

The ZX discord has been putting on monthly Emoji contest, and this month was a double whammy with both Vent and Aile! So naturally, I had to do Aile. Watermarked, but that really won't show when shrunk. Feel free to have fun with it. Just don't take credit for making it.

OKay @dumpsterfirepropaganda mentioned a ZX AU with Model Ws being like, a zombie-style infection and OF COURSE I had to brainstorm up a Model O variant over on the ZX Discord. So here's the summary lol.

The Model O strain was accidentally created when Vent and Aile, desperate for a cure, tried to see if Model O/Omega would be able to override the control and/or mutations of Model W. Vent/Aile just wanted to find a way to counteract the W virus, and Prairie's situation made them desperate so they went YOLO mode and unleashed a small model W infected into Area N and/or threw a model O at one because they knew Omega was the source of the original maverick virus. And they were hoping so hard that there would be an immunity there, or a poison-fights-cancer-first sort of thing (like radiation treatment, only with ancient maverick). But they only partly succeeded. Because yes Omega was technically immune (pissed off at them for throwing a model W at him though) and the O strain does indeed override the W virus… but it just makes things WORSE instead of better.

The O-strain infected retain more of their concious and soul instead of being completely consumed like the W-strain victims, but it also powers them up and makes them unpredictable and violent. (Model O & W double megamerge basically. Eff that.) Due to the nature of Area N, the O-strain has been imprisoned successfully, so far, in Area N... barely. Vent/Aile are secretly sitting with their metaphorical thumbs in the dam/dike and praying to whatever gods will listen that their mistake stays sealed away.

…what's worse is that you get the combined effect of Omega's control and the infectiousness of the W virus. OMEGA CAN CONTROL THE INFECTED. And possibly the only reason he hasn't controlled the infected en masse so far is that he's still sealed un Area N and Vent/Aile are ABSOLUTELY KEEPING IT THAT WAY.

It's known that Model W hosts often gain unwieldy or mobility-reducing mutations as their disease progresses. Omega strain hosts do not do this. Unlike W strains all of their mutations are often streamlined and deadly, almost seeming to have a purpose. They are "antisocial" compared to W hosts; they do not seek other infected victims in their end days to join together for an Ouroboros. Instead they seek to gain mass through violence, gaining mass solely for themselves… AKA they are much more independant. W-strain hosts get a homing instinct to beds to amalgamate. O-strain uses that homing instinct to gorge itself and make itself more powerful, and they will cannibalize W-strain hosts if the opportunity arises. …And, like, anything else within range too probably XD

In short... Where W's are bulky, intimidating tanks that can take a lot of damage but are slow as hell, O's are fast and vicious fuckers.

This sort of data is mostly conjecture and one or two cases. Thankfully Omega/O strains have been kept mostly contained. Only one O strain host accidentally breached the containment of Area N. It was NOT a fun experience.

If there's one saving grace, its that O-strain is much less contagious… or maybe the infected just kills any possible hosts too quickly…?

PS; no one even knew that the O host escapee was a different strain from other infected. Aile/Vent hunted that sucker down ASAP. It was just a terrifying outlier that thankfully never repeated, as far as most people (including the Masters of Legion) know.

Probably O strain hosts have red instead of white for some body parts and drip gooey black ichor. For the Aesthetic (tm).

Omega himself has long gone mad due to isolation and Weil's previous machinations, so combined with the virus he's become a monstrous foe not to be tangled with. He can mutate seemingly at will.

tbh, i don't know how to make clean line arts it always came out... less expressive? than the doodles

[tyrantchimeraart]

After a long day of chores and even a request or two, I decided to wind down by, uh, making a really small stamp apparently? (That is my pointer finger for reference.) An Okami stray bead symbol stamp to be specific.

It took me around half a dozen tries to get it right. Not exactly an easy project...

A new emoji for use in the ZX fan server I run! Gotta love Grey!!

(This version has been watermarked for distribution. it's subtle enough that it shouldn't show if you wish to use the emoji yourself!)

[tyrantchimeraart]

Follies, Kindness, and Killers new chapter!

A new chapter is out on AO3 and Fanfiction.net! Short and sweet!

[tyrantchimeraart]

@modormouth and I did an art trade/collab in which they requested I design a Great One Jenova from FFVII and Bloodborne so that they could make a model. These are the concept works.

(PS: I take commissions too!)

Ref doodle for the Tyrant Chimera i use as a pfp. I've only ever drawn her from the sides, so this was interesting
