Hello folks!

I´m sort of a new user that have been lurking the site for quite some time and just decided to jump off the shadow.
I´m gonna start by posting all the entries I could make for those weekly contests held over at Capcom Unity. The Solarman one is just a sketch, I could never get around to start working on it, and it´ll surely gonna stay that way unless I feel like finishing it.

[spoiler=Pumpman][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Blademan][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Chillman][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Solarman][/spoiler]

I also have this attempt to make a so-far-nameless MMZ/ZX-ish boss, which I might redo later on because there´s something I don´t like from it.


And just for the heck of it, here´s a drawing I already posted at the oekaki boards.


EDIT: Added some doodles that no one should care about
[spoiler][/spoiler]

That´ll be it for now, looking forward to your comments :)

I wanted to give it a bit of a skeleton feel to Blademan, so I´m not surprised that it reminds you of Grievous :P. I didn´t had him in mind when drawing Blade tho, I was actually slightly inspired by Ariga´s Skullman design.

As for the names, I was never too fond with the naming style of the ZX series, and Energy Hog sounds more fitting to the X series, and not so much for the Zero series. But yeah, I suck a lot at giving names too, just look at my nickname! I still have a whole group of mavericks waiting for some name, I´ll surely post the sheet I have with all the handmade concept sketches. Thanks for the name suggestions anyway.

And thanks everyone for the comments too, really appreciated.

Well, I only know one way of coloring so far. What I always do is make the sketch and start erasing and shaping up the lines. Or some other times I just remake the lines again completely over the sketch in a separate layers.
After I´m pretty much happy with the lineart, I set the layer style to multiply and if I want the lineart to have a darker tone of the base color, I go to Image>Adjudgement>Levels (I use Photoshop). And at the output level bar I move the left pointer to the right, this removes the pure blacks.
And for coloring, I just set a base color on a layer below the lineart, and with a hard edged brush I start setting up the shading. After that, with the eyedropper I choose the color inbetween both, chance it to a slightly saturated color to give it some life and the then blend the colors with a slightly softer brush.
If you use a mouse, the best method to blend colors would be to set the opacity of the brush to around 20-30 and then pick the inbetween color and click like crazy.

Kinda long and unorganized post, if there´s anything specific you (or anyone) wants to ask, just ask away. I´ll try to be as helpful as I can.

Also, here´re some tutorials I always found REALLY helpful:
http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm (and since we are at it, here there is a link with some megaman fanart by the same guy http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/main.php?id=megaman)
And this one, which explains a lo better the lineart part: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109491

Maybe you have some screenshots of the progress? It's OK if you don't have any. Just curious.

Actually, I got the inspiration for that one from some Summon Night critter

I don´t have anything right now unfortunately. I started drawing digitally almost a month ago, I thought it would be to soon to start making tutorials :P. And I actually got rid of the pdf´s too, I should start keeping them from now on just in case. I´ll try to make something for the next drawing I get to do, I promise.
