State-Of-The-Art High Resolution!

This is for ~lerms's NES Cover Art Jam [link] I barely finished before the deadline. If you can call it finished =P

I've been way too busy this past two weeks, when I was supposed to color this: my version of one of the NES's great games but one of the worst game covers (clearly surpassed by Mega Man 1's box art... just Google it).

So I tried to maintain several mistakes that the original had, like
- The words 'mega man' are in a different perspective than the number 2
- Mega Man is completely missing Quick Man, maybe because he was looking somewhere else?
- The evil Dr Wily looks exactly like (the good) Dr. Light, that's why so many people get confused seeing him hiding behind Crash Man
- I wanted to maintain Mega Man's broken right ankle, but I couldn't get it to look like it was on purpose, so I just fixed it
- I wasn't gonna leave Mega Man with that puny pistol like in the original, so I did him the way he was supposed to look like. Mega Buster FTW!

The original cover is here: [link]
Again, sorry I couldn't color it. Maybe I will someday.
If you notice more errors in my drawing, just think how bad the original cover is! =P Thanks for watching.
