Easily the coolest Mega Man mosaic you'll see today photo

Surprise! It's another sweet gaming-related project from the NeoGAF userbase. This time, it's a custom-made Mega Man mosaic comprised of an estimated 1,500 screenshots which just so happen to include every stage from the first six games.

As an added bonus, the bottom portion of the mosaic is dedicated to the series' so-bad-it's-good box art. NeoGAF user jarosh says he also managed to painstakingly squeeze in the weaknesses to all of the robot masters, if you can believe that. Basically, this is the Mega Man mosaic to end all others.

Make sure to follow through to the full forum post in order to see some great close-up shots.

hey gaf, i thought i'd share this little mega man art project i just finished [NeoGAF -- Thanks, Jinfash]

No, but this is pretty awesome too, not to mention tangible.

I remember reading about somebody making a Megaman mosaic on their own...it was a CBlog from last year. I can't remember who it was though, gah!

The only problem I have is that the screenshots aren't what is making the Mega Man image. They tinted the original images to get the Mega Man colours. Cheaters

Reading through the thread, the guy says if he had to change the colour, he'd only change them by 20% max, so it's cheating a little bit, but really, it'd be impossible without it.

Any Mega Man mosaic I see in a given day will easily be the coolest one, because I would estimate that I see one Mega Man mosaic every twenty-three years or so.

It is cool though

Is it s till a mosaic if you you've just painted over the tiles in blue and black?

@JustLikeBuck:

The artist didn't cheat. The black tiles are screenshots of various Dr. Wily battles. (Which always feature a solid black background. ) And there's plenty of blue to get from Flash Man, Air Man and Bubble Man's levels, just to name a few.

I'm with Aara123 - I've seen soooo many mosaics done with pictures that have clearly been photoshopped to get them the correct hue or shade.
It's not big and it's not clever.
Besides, ANY single pale shot combined with ANY single dark shot could've been used for this as he's pretty much only a bloody outline!

What *would* be good would be an image using screenshots where the positioning of them created another image built from the contents onscreen, not effectively using a single shot as a single "pixel" as it were.

If this was sold as a poster, I'd definitely get one. And nice timeline, megastryke, I didn't know Megaman had a fuckton of games already.
