Alright, I am basically copying this idea from my associate DexterXS over at the IGN boards. Some of you may know him as contributing illustrations to the fics, but anyway.
The idea of this thread is adequately summed up by Dex himself:
"Yes, as usual I want to get the creative juices flowing. Let's be constructive in a way Capcom will never see nor hear about.
Devil May Cry is going to get a total REBOOT. You have no loyalty to the previous canon, universe, mythos, or characters. All you have is the name, and your knowledge of what DMC used to mean. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Comic-book fans, you know what "alternative universe" means. Movie aficionados, you know what it means to have a "fresh start". Look what Nolan did for Batman. You can forget DMC2 like he forgot Forever, forget Nero like he forgot Robin. Try to distance yourself a little from what we already have, that's the fun part. Put a twist on it, see what happens. Or perhaps just cut off some of the atrophied narrative limbs DMC has collected in it's meager lifespan and get back to some nitty gritty... but remember, you have been told to reboot. You can't just make DMC1 again. (More is the pity)"
"If I receive 8 or more SERIOUS reboot concepts, I will decide upon a "winner" and create a piece of artwork to reflect that reboot concept."
--------------------
So, we have about 6 right now over at IGN, which you are welcome to look at. But I'm wondering what you guys here at Org can come up with, and perhaps add to the pool of options for Dex's illustration. Note the reboots already done below so that you don't post duplicates
