This artwork makes part of a series of drawings for Mega Man X: Unit 49 's Season 2 I'm publishing this week.

"The Mistwalker" is the name given to a contemporary legend of a Reploid ghost that was originally made to deal with intoxicated ventilation systems, regardless of the accessibility of the place. For that, his developers wanted to synthesize a special fluid material that could be shaped with electromagnetic stimuli from its core. In this way, the fluid body could leave the metal armor and move through pipes if necessary. After a long time of research, they succeeded and created the exotic being. One of the first emergencies he was sent to solve was an accident in a nuclear plant. To prevent the radioactive material from contaminating the entire site, Mistwalker used his power to navigate through very tight spaces, until he found the operation machines that could halt the leaking. What nobody told him was that to seal the place, he would also need to trap himself there forever. Years after, the surroundings started to get high readings of radioactivity and the people needed to evacuate, while the Reploids working there stayed to progressively shut down the facility. Some theorize that the Mistwalker managed to escape the place at the cost of releasing the radioactivity once again, and others have seen a form resembling him wandering through these lands... that would explain how the Reploid workers were mysteriously killed.
