This 8 bit Mega Man mosiac was made by neoGAF member jarosh is a monument to everything that is awesome and Mega Manly. The mosaic, measuring 120cm x 109 cm, is composed of roughly 1500 screenshots featuring all levels from Mega Man 1-6.
The idea was to have one screenshot for every pixel of the mega man sprite and then have the sprite surrounded by the remaining screenshots.
now, in theory there shouldn?t be any duplicates, i took just the right amount of screenshots ? however, what you see here is actually a composite of several different mosaics and there?s been a LOT of manual editing too, a lot of photoshop work etc. it?s possible that several of the tiles show up twice or even three times. but the majority of the tiles are unique, even the ones that look very similar. took me several weeks to finish the whole thing.
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*cking FOREVER). you?ll see it in the detail shots.
Should be on display in the Louvre in no time, I’ve personally taken the liberty of making room by smashing a painting of a woman who looked like an enigmatic dude over my knee.
Also if you look at the upper right corner of the underwear you’ll notice the little easter egg left by jorash, his cats little man and minu beans:
