Because gameplay can affect how one interprets the story?

Why mix gameplay and story?
The Puella buster looks like it's missing a hand, so it kinda looks akward as it still retains the shape.

This is all I've got for Valentines' Day? Man.
Quit squirming, Rock; she won't bite.
(Maybe Captain N's Simon was actually Simon IV or something?)
Rock would be safe from Kyuubey. I hope.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica's style wasn't that hard to imitate (or so I think?).

Well, all three of them can use various powers and have names starting with M (or two of them do, depending on if you call him Rockman or not). And two of them have a long line of platforming titles...
Yeah, Madotsuki's mostly there to scare the Koopas away.

Sonic, don't poke your evil counterpart.
I imagine that a humanized Darkie would be Fan Disservice incarnate. Yeah, he's all hot and well-built...and then he does all those horrible things, and you realize he's the creeper to end all creepers, and just like that, your boner is wilted.
also, his clothes and armour are made of Black Emerald goop.

"I already took back that Edward comment. Do I have to get the whole chain of garlic?"
'twas meant to be chibi-ish, but it's only apparent with Rock. Boo.


Feels like I forgot how to draw normal standing poses...and like RS-X is unusually short.
A proper height chart would have numbers; this is just a bunch of estimates. (Rock and X sharing a non-chart doesn't mean I suddenly think they're the same 'bot; I just ran out of steam before I could include Trigger and the like)

Based on the Laserdisc/VHS(?)/DVD covers for Sailor Moon S. I'm not sure if I always wanted to emulate the shading on those, and it turned out to not be as easy as it looked.
Blues may not be a sailor, but she's got her sister's backamong other things.

One of my sisters, ~ProfessorReimu, was nice enough to let me borrow her Madoka for the night. I immediately grabbed the camera.
We both have a hard time getting Madoka's other two faces on all the way. :/ Hopefully, that's not too evident in the first photo.

Blues Grenada just can't spit it out, so in true five-year-old-dumbass fashion, he just teases the hell out of Rock instead.

Ye Gods, Colonel is such a pain to draw. Good thing he's dead and not in this pic and wait.
On the left, we have Iris, Rock, and their son Arco; on the right/middle, we have *KaitlinEXE's Kaitlin, Ark, Vicky, and Kaitlin's husband(?) Colonel. Who I think stayed dead in her fanon. I'm not sure whether or not to revive him, myself; the whole thing would probably end in tears.
* I don't know if Vicky and Ark were born/created before or after Colonel bit it.
* Yeah, that IS Iris.

So I have these old markers, probably about nine or more years old. They still work (well, most of them), and I wanted to use them. They got used on this.
I like the idea of Rock temporarily being Kirby's house 'bot; this is one of the things they did on Popstar. (Don't ask me what that thing IS. I have no idea)

Whoops forgot to submit this.
X looks all tough now, but wait until they run into a spider.

Having multiple versions of a character (or two) in the same pic is more fun when they're so varied.
From left to right, we've got Ariga, .EXE, game/prime Rock, RS, game-X, biometal X, Universe, Copy, Bad Box Art, game-Trigger, beta .EXE, cyber elf X, Captain N Mega, and Bad Box Art Trigger (from "Adventure to Save the Planet").
* Ariga-Rock's attire is from parts of the Battle and Chase story (Gigamix 1).
* Don't feel so awkward, RS-Rock; according to some fanons (and maybe Joe Ruby himself), you're not that much older than prime-Rock.
* I'd like to think that all Trigger did to get on BBAMM's bad side was forget that a ruin they explored was full of Shoebafun.
* I need to overhaul what I did with beta-Megaman.EXE up there (and his pal Bugman, maybe).
...Wonder if anyone else wants to draw something like this. Unfortunately, that would involve Captain N versions of the subject (unless you went with "what if [name] became Quint?").

Oops he became a Belmont.
Only semi-related to that prompt [that I posted on dA], since he's already existed in some form; at least now there exists proper art of him. Since he's a failed fifth General, maybe that whip isn't as impressive as it looks. (For one, it's bent out of shape...stop gripping it so hard, man)

Actual response to that prompt. Was originally a geisha-spider 'bot, then a geisha naga, then this.
Vinata (can't think of a proper MMZ boss name, so I just ganked one from the Mahabharata) might actually be an ally, despite her barely-MMZ-standard looks. She's terrified of the possibility of Weil finding her and stays hidden--or tried to; Zero unearthed her after some time.
The components of her tail can rotate; otherwise, those blades wouldn't be of much use, combat-wise.

My .03 Micron pen's going, too (I switched to a blue one towards the bottom for writing). Dangit.
* Nastenka's look was strongly influenced by Akira Kazama from Rival Schools.
* Since So we've got Roll Prime and Universe-Roll, but no Bad Box Art Roll (I dunno if CoJ would've ever designed one in MMU didn't implode). I took one look at the search results for "80s suits for women" and knew what to put BBA-Roll in.
* I'd be lying if I said I didn't have *spikewible's Protomen designs in mind (though I did try to make mine distinct from his).
* Lumina's hair looks a bit like her helmet. :/ Assuming it IS a helmet. While IIRC I just picked "seafoam green" to contrast with the rest of her, it also makes her ties with Void (and Pierre, I guess) more apparent, which is much better than the last hairstyle I tried giving her (long and brown).
* All I know of Kayla.EXE is that she's antagonistic towards Kaitlin.EXE (and her name used to be KaitlinX/KX.EXE, so I'm guessing she's also related to Kaitlin in some manner).
* Proto's supposed to be poking Vamp!Rock, since the original dialogue I had in mind was meant to point out that he was still squishy and whatnot. Completely forgot about the sparkling.
* One of these days I'll Jewel Rider-ify ALL the mane six, unless I forget to. (I wish those Magic Armour toys got produced...)
* Those versions of Iris, Yuna, and Roll are part of an AU that will go nowhere. :/
* Vamp!Rock isn't even biting people in the right place.
* Lots of different helmetless Protos. Of course, when I looked for alternate designs, I could barely find any. As for Rock, that's less a hairstyle and more "I forgot to comb it".
* Zaiakuwoman's design takes some elements from Zaikuman v2, plus that incorrect colour scheme I gave him a couple years back. The tail was replaced with energy wings, so that she'd be less likely to set her hair on fire.

Based on the "We Are ROCKMEN" cover, with the addition of Roll/Gigawomanwho's giving you the single-finger salute, Duo, and Basswho's impaled on one of Duo's shoulder spikes. Surprisingly for things I submit to Pixiv, it's done fairly well so far.
Why is Bass sulking like that? Because he's barely in the pic. That's what you get for...uh, RADIX running out of space.

Either I'm really tired or I over-saturated this.
I wanted to practice using coloured pencils, since those pics of mine rarely look that impressive on paper. This one...also didn't look that great pre-fixing. As for the subject, I was looking through one of my folders when it occurred to me. (Shame I couldn't think of a better symbol for Roll)

Pixel art is so much easier in Photoshop. At least, this kind of pixel art.
Original plan was to put certain shades (mostly the darkest ones) on their own layer, then tint those separately. Then I liked how that turned out with the light reflected on Proto's shades and did the same to his entire longcoat (where most of the darkest shades were), so it's hard to tell what my original plan was. :/
Wonder what advice he's giving Megaman this time?

"Dr. Wily doesn't stand a chance against the two of us!"

Trying something new; Rock isn't sure if he likes being leaned on.
Man, Hub's face took forever to make adequate...

Perspective fail? Roll won't want to lean on those thrusters for long (not that Duo would want to activate them with her on his back).
It was recently brought up that not many people try to put Duo to any use, and I think I know why: We haven't seen too much of him (his personality, at least), and he's not as easy to draw as, say, Megaman. Doesn't help that CoJ isn't likely to use him again (hey, CoJ--prove me wrong, dammit!).
I have to wonder if he had any plot significance in Rockman Strategy, or if he was like poor Fan--utterly superfluous.

Drawn a couple of days ago (meaning I forgot to submit it). Attempted following a tutorial, gave up and did my own thing.
He's keeping an eye out for people who might want to bother his siblings.

Blank meme here: http://nozomi-sama.deviantart.com/art/259-Character-Age-Meme-Blank-196969123
I would've tried colouring it, but SAI's fill tool seems to have stopped working properly (or doesn't like Multiply layers). D:
Poor RS-Rock got submerged in a fountain of youth or something; thankfully, the effects don't last long, but it's still several days too long for his liking. Also, Proto's trying to take care of him. Proto barely has any idea how kids work.

Gaia/Terra-Prime REALLY doesn't like anyone implying that Sungod tortured him into loyalty. Even though it's true...
That doesn't make fem-Gaia/Terra any less of an [dark hold].

PUT YOUR SHADES BACK ON, PROTO
I MEAN GAAAAH
Too much time spent on 1d4chan resulted in a desire to make RS-Proto a spees mahreen (despite the bad reputation post-heresy spees mahreens apparently have, and my inability to draw guns). Settled on the Blood Angels, since Proto would probably enjoy working with them.
...waaaay too much. Rock probably spends most of his time trying to talk Proto out of it before he tries to bum-rush a Tyranid or something.
Armour was heavily based off an image of a post-heresy (a.k.a. Warhammer 40K 5th edition...I think) Blood Angel. Durr how do i designed.

Drawn last Wednesday while at my sisters' violin practice, using some markers there. Our friend who works there/owns the violin shop (shamefully, I'm not sure if it's her or my sisters' teacher) was very impressed with how I used those.

While I don't think Zero would be angry at Iris or Rock for hooking up, things would still be uneasy between the three of 'em. Iris tried to kill Zero, who killed her brother (out of necessity, but still), and now she's hanging with Zero's enemy-turned-coworker.
Something tells me that Colonel being revived* wouldn't help matters.
Since the only black .03 Micron pen I have is running out of ink, I tried using blue Microns instead.
* In my fanon, Iris doesn't die, but would have if she weren't modified; perhaps Colonel would take longer to bring back on account of having actually died, or at least no longer having a physical body.

For some reason, this feels like it took longer to complete than it did.
* BBA-Megaman was drawn BEFORE he was announced for SFxT.
* That vest of Roll's sure is 90s. Or early 00s.
* Unlike Rock, Vampire(?) Ran is a proper vampire--and evil. Oops.
* I think Bad Future!RS-Rock (not the same bad future as in Future Shock) would be incredibly paranoid. And badly-dressed.
* Originally was just going to leave it at Kyoko and Matias, then added Mami and Omar. Don't worry, Omar doesn't really have anything in common with Mami. (Though neither will Matias, after Kyoko finds out that he and his buddies are working with the Devil)
* Those versions of Megaman, Protoman, and Roll were meant to be "dream avatars" of sorts, and were inspired by some characters created by Gekidan InuCurry. (The rest of the avatars would look more like Puella Magi-witches and whatever other horrors that group has worked on)
* There did exist a sprite of Liz.EXE...but the image was broken, so I have no idea what she looked like, and so went off her Legends counterpart.
* I swear, Hikaru's sprite (Kidou Tenshi Angelis Layer for the GBA) is in the exact same pose as Megaman.EXE's. Did the same team members work on those games?
* RS-Rock would be VERY out-of-place in Mortal Kombat-land.
* Of all my Navi designs--at least, the ones I remember posting--I think only Violin's and Shortman's (not pictured) are still decent.

Except they all identify as male...in other words, lame title is lame.
If only OSS weren't a barely-modified port; then maybe something like this would've happened. Roll Soul Megaman.EXE and (unused) Lyra Noise Subaru actually don't look that bad next to each other, at least to me.
Roll Cross Megaman was added towards the end, in order to fill space. He looks so happy to be a space-filler!
compensate? capcom doesn't owe you anything and even if they did they don't have to
Well, in the spirit of crossover fun, the dev team wanted both Capcom and Namco's mascots to join the fray in a slightly silly, goofy way.
Before I forget, Figma Samus comes out in June.
Lupinko said it‘s BBA :/
(I have no Facebook, though...)
Gonzo looks an awful lot like Gideon Graves there.. It could be just me.

Something tells me Megaman wouldn't be able to get close enough to a Dalek to do this, but if Ace was able to hit one with a baseball bat...
Man, that Dalek is poorly-drawn. >.>

Apparently, Proto enjoys getting hammered on the holidays instead of actually celebrating them.

["Wrung through the filter of my dreams"] Not MY dreams specifically.
Madotsuki could probably do this, being a master of space and all, but she didn't, and yet they still all caught body horror. At least it's restricted to wherever they are.
...I was more than a little sleep-deprived when I drew this.

Dream-derived; Kalinka had this hairstyle (though it looked more fitting of Yuna or Sera) and was angry at everyone, for some reason (IIRC it had nothing to do with her hair), especially poor Megaman.
Her hair has likely already trapped several low-flying birds.

Armourless RM fight--would it last the same amount of time or not?
May or may not have been inspired by Archie-MM's MM2 arc; used the same colours as that game's stage select (plus an extra shade of blue) and a couple of other people's helmetless RM designs (Metal's was switched because I wanted to make him distinct from my helmetless RS-Metal). Rock got a portrait even though that wouldn't happen until MM3.
Airman gained a helmetless design (Arashi's. I occasionally just swipe an RM's Opeator's hairstyle), while Heatman still has that hair-obscuring hoodie. Maybe Woodman's hair looks like a plant if you squint...
Funtastic fact: I accidentally put both BG colours on the same layer and didn't notice because the portrait borders mostly prevented pixellized bleed-over--then I tried laying down the light blue speedline-things. Derp.

Inspired by some wet mane pony art. Megapony would really appreciate a hairdryer or towel right now.

Tried some line art-free pixel stuff in Photoshop earlier. (Next time I'm making new layers for his face)
As cute as he looks, he's probably just looking for whoever got him up so he can blast 'em.

["No who you're thinking of" s]ounded like a better title than "Walking". (Whoops probably shouldn't drawn RS-Rock's other leg)
RS-Rock isn't sure if "lazy" sounds better than "[Bumpity-Boom!]".

Tried a different angle; did it work?
Oh Tango.![]()

After getting my ZERO-era Zero kit assembled, I drew some (what I hoped was) badass fem-Zero from one of the SNK vs. Capcom games, because I can't remember seeing any other badass fem-Zero art.
...whoops I forgot to completely shade her vest-thing.

...crap, I think Bad Box Art Megaman's arm might be too long. And his visor's missing.
Has anyone drawn something like this yet? I'd hate to say I was the first and then be proven very wrong.
Shame Universe never saw the light of day; it'd be nice to see these three interact (though I now suspect that there wouldn't have been any story mode or anything else requiring more than the minimum amount of effort that CoJ is willing to put forth). Universe-Mega (or just Mega)'s hair was based on MMPU Rock's (and Scott Pilgrim's, sorta; everyone said MMU's art style resembled SP's); BBA Mega's was just pulled out of my ass. Also, he inexplicably became "Not That Bad Box Art MM".

Individual doodles still seem to be larger than usual. :/
* Kirby didn't wear that outfit for long in that one Club Nintendo comic (like, just for the introductory panel, IIRC), and I dunno how long the detective angle really lasted. Still, there exists a Detective Kirby.
* Game-Roll's apparent dream is to build a hospital (I think it only came up in Rockboard and TvC), so it seemed fitting for Trainer Roll to have a Chansey. As for why future Trainer Rock has a Venonat...I like Venonat?
* So far, Mariachi the Wonder Hamster has only appeared in a gag strip ("Short Circuits", Archie calls it), and I dunno if he'll ever show up in the comic proper.
* It took me an embarrassingly long time to notice that Midnight Bliss'd ZERO-era Zero has similar bracelets and shoes to Ciel.
* Can you guess which of those G1 ponies is Roll?
* I think ~XCBDH's armoured Roll was one of the first I saw.
* So yeah, I dunno what Slider was doing in the pile of slag known as Angel Warrior Comics, other than ~suraida-chan being a member of the Bob and George forums, apparently.
* Would Rock be able to hold down a job as a nurse (or doctor) with his Chronic Hero Syndrome?
* Hey, human!Fluttershy has a proper armour design now. (Would that make her Robo-Fluttershy?)
* I think Misty's fear of bugs was exclusive to the anime, but then, it'd been ages since I played Pokemon Red (or GSC).
* I really like that "Fluttershy is trans" theory--and the idea of Rock slicing up transphobic assholes.
* That Megawoman and Fem-Bass doodle was actually the last one drawn on this page; I think it shows.
* Until now, I can't remember ever comic up with a Tango/Beat adaptor design that I was happy with. (Tango's was based off of Jet MM from MM6)
An HD game, even a remake of existing games, requires a hefty budget that I don't see Capcom willing to provide.


Drawn 12/2; this was my Secret Santa gift for ~kaykayandkerri. Since I drew it so early (first one to do so, I think), I tried to make it look like the characters she'd suggested were starting the holidays off by getting a tree.
And now it's the 24th, so merry Christmas, everyone!

No make-out sessions of dubious consent will occur, but Roll's still keeping an eye on them.
They're gonna be so hungover tomorrow...
(What would the robot equivalent of booze be? Antifreeze?)

For my next break in felt pen doodling, I took some old characters of mine and redesigned them (though Radix mostly remained the same).
* Gonzo and Radix: Myselves. Radix has delusions of grandeur, Gonzo is dead weight.
* Jasmine: Supposed to be Radix's "rival", though how, I've long since forgotten.
* Osiris: His design was meant to be a combination of Sonic and NiGHTS style--but I couldn't find any art of him, so I drew him from memory.
* Blade: He had "Project Bane" written above his poorly-drawn head; present-day Blade may or may not be an actual experiment, but he claims he is either way.
* R-Type Robot Proto: His design didn't change much.
* Yin and Yang: From some terrible comic I tried drawing back in '05. Yin (male) is a nice kid, Yang (female) isn't.
* Selene: This character (along with Miyu and Haru) didn't actually have a name, so I gave her one based on the weapon she was holding. Presumably, all her powers relate to the moon.
* Karma: A.K.A. "Shinji Mercer" (urgh). Obnoxious white-haired vigilante; she was apparently my attempt at creating a Shyna-like character.
* Haru: Redesigned rather heavily; poor guy somehow ended up with the abusive, pessimism-is-realism Green Knights.
* Miyu: Also drastically made-over; I'm guessing she was supposed to be a water spirit (drawn after I learned about Belldandy, maybe?).

Took an old, mostly-unused notebook of mine and started off with a couple of 4-komas. (The joke in the second one would only really work if there was voice-acting...)

Individual pics might've come out larger this time, as I was trying to finish this before New Year's.
* Lots of Lanterns, many of them suggested by ~lalalei2001. (Reasoning behind Star Sapphire Elecman being that he enjoys his work)
* I seriously used to think Teto was an actual Vocaloid...
* Apparently, Icees come in "plasma" in RS-MM-Land.
* Roll doesn't like her 80s-fabulous outfit.
* I guess Rainbow Brite/Wisp doesn't look THAT much like Roll, but next to Krys/Kris...
* For whatever reason, I imagine Megaman and Earthworm Jim wouldn't get along. Jim probably dropped one too many cows on Rock's head.

Test Suit version, to be exact; I got her at Mini-Hamacon and only just now got around to photographing her.
As much as I wanted to emulate some cool poses I saw via Google, I can't seem to get her legs to bend that way (one actually came off, but thankfully it's a ball-joint socket and I was able to put it back on). So instead of that, the second photo was based on the cover of my Wanna-Be's laserdisc (old wrestling OVA from the 80s; I can barely find any info on it anywhere).
