An ingenious masterpiece, Corals at Keppel Bay rises like an ascending symphony of chords, with its soaring towers and low-rise villa-styled apartment blocks. The alternating heights and double curvature of the towers create a unique interplay of changing light planes and reflecting angles, presenting a spectacular sight at every turn. corals @ keppel bay

A fellow artist and I had a long discussion on the early Mega Man cover art recently, and his reasoning for it was that the artwork reflected what they thought would be popular and appeal to the region that it was being released in. So as one might think, the U.S. of course got the muscled/fat gun toting meat head that still infatuates our culture but could also be seen to exemplify typical American ideals, especially to someone who might not entirely have been given all of the details they needed to create cover art. One can see easily without proper research how one can create art based of their own particular biases and or ignorances. Notice how the European and Original Japanese versions of the cover art actually looked liked it was supposed to. Interesting theory indeed.
As an artist studying illustration for quite some time now, the artwork was just plain bad. Even for it's time and for a rush job there really wasn't any excuse to release this mess other than to start producing the game. However, after such a period without that amateur cover art, it's no wonder why it's made a bit of a comeback. My friend and I are even considering making covers of our own in our own styles, just for the hell of it.
