Rock's not so sure.

On the plus side, it seems a bit easier to draw pixelly things in Photoshop; on the downside, erasing pixels is a [sonic slicer] (likely because I've forgotten how to make the eraser pixelly as well). I had wanted to follow a tutorial of ~Kiwi-RGB's, but ended up just doing this. (how do i light sources)

Palettes (mostly) taken from MvC1-2 and Kirby Squeak Squad. Speaking of the latter, I've been playing Kirby Super Star Ultra again; maybe one of my sisters has some of the other GBA/DS games?

I've been working on this for the past few days (and by "working on", I mean "letting the Model Magic/paint dry"); after playing so much Kirby, I wanted a figure of him (this happens with every character or series I like) that was in-scale with my Koto-MM. (First wanted to follow this plushie tutorial I found, but my sisters have no pink fabric and I can't sew) Now he's done, and I've taken some low-quality photographs.

...I know I'll inevitably have to superglue his limbs back on, if my previous years-old attempts at Model Magic are any indication (they fell to pieces not long after they dried), but hey.

The nice thing about Kirby is that he's very simple to make. I cannot sculpt--at all--and so was kind of worried going in; I do like how he turned out.  (Though his right eye is not as well-painted as his right, and that's after I re-did it. Maybe I'll go back and fix it later)

Now I just have to figure out how to make decent hats for him. x.x

Funtastic fact: this ad convinced me that Kirby was a deceptive villain protagonist. Or at least a jerk.

I'd be more inclined to think that many of the people who went "oh well, better than nothing" were the ones who gave up; I saw more than a few "this is how you make X distinct from Zero" comments.

Honestly, I'm not sure what good continuing to push for X's proper inclusion in UMvC3 will do, if all it amounted to was an alt. It's possible we might get something better next time, but those chances aren't looking too good--especially if one of the PR guys told us to be happy with what we got (yeah, PR, but still). That would discourage anyone, I'd think.

X went from the top of the polls to "ruined forever" for absolutely no reason, and we wonder why Capcom doesn't believe in the Mega Man fanbase.

It's not okay to feel that X getting reduced to his pal's alt. was severe half-assing at best? (And "absolutely no reason"? Seriously? There's already been quite a few reasons that don't amount to endless whining)

Between that (good points raised in favour of an NPC becoming playable aside) and rumours that some form of MM will be playable in SFxT (Lupinko's "blue hobo" hint is not encouraging in the slightest), I sincerely doubt MM will ever see the light of UMvC3.

"Hehe" indeed.

Drawn so that I could ask people on Pixiv what it'd take for them to like RS-MM (the show as a whole, not just a few RM designs).

As of this writing, it has only eight views. :/

"What, now you want me to tell you how to walk? I only have so much time."


Discord deliberately didn't corrupt Proto just so he could see him be torn between being grateful that Rock's finally relaxing, and screaming at him to stop being a twat.

Anatomy may be borked. ._.

Posted on: October 07, 2011, 10:35:32 PM

Maybe one day I'll digitize one of these doodles.


* Rock and Proto talking about shampoo (or whatever Rock's holding): For some reason I see Proto having similar allergies to perfumey stuff as my Mom, and Rock tries not to get stuff that sends him into a coughing fit. (Originally Proto was asking him why he was getting women's shampoo, and Rock answered with "All the men's stuff smells like AXE")

* From what I know of Sonya's bio...Perhaps Emberwoman/Sonya here had someone else's AI installed in her (the original 'bot being physically dead) early in her life, which promptly took over.

* RS-Auto, I see as being incredibly annoying and cloud-cuckoo-landy (at least from Rock's perspective). He's a friendly guy, really, just missing a few screws (or a Hyper Bolt, as it were).

* "Fern of the Planet Sigma" refers to a song by Susumu Hirasawa. Dunno what it's about, but that pun was eventually all I could see after hearing that title after a while (besides the music itself, anyway).

* Last year I had sketched up Vocal's buddies, Pitch and Octave, but never put them in any formal or colour pics. The same can be said of Andrei Cossack, below.

* Would Zaia spare Rock after that? Not likely, but Rock had to think of SOME way to buy time.

* I don't think Zaiakuwoman would act all that differently from her original counterpart.

* Robot Masters built in the 2130s? I think I tried something like this before, only for it to never get off the ground. Right now I can think of only two: Nilman (their leader) and Winterman. X-era RMs would have more elaborate designs than the 20XX ones, I think.

Posted on: October 09, 2011, 03:55:13 AM

Guest-starring an eraser soccer ball and my left hand. No, this kit isn't unusually large; my hands are tiny. (The photo of Rock on that bookcase was taken a couple of days ago)

Haven't put any decals on that E-Tank in case I mess it up; don't think I've ever applied decals before, and I have no exacto-knife to cut them out with.

It's fun to pose him around and such, though removing his gauntlets can be a pain sometimes. :/




I'd only need like three or four commissions to get Proto, hint hi--*punched*

I liked this when I was done with it, though I probably won't later, after I notice all the mistakes.

Ain't no one gonna ukeify this X and live.

Hey, I digitized one of those felt-pen doodles!

Process went like this: Print-screen the pic, go over the lines in SAI, retrieve colours from an earlier pic of these two, shade, add BG. Don't think it took too long, though I dunno how many more of these I'll do.


Hey, at least there's no other skaters around to make fun of Rock's 90s sweater.

For a change of pace in my felt pen sketchpad-thing, I tried drawing a comic. No script, just some conversation going on between Protoman and Kalinka. Maybe this is what pushed him to spend some more time with the rest of the Lights (in my still-unwritten fanon).

Posted on: October 10, 2011, 04:19:15 AM

Eyes melting yet?

Rock and Proto didn't want to visit LSD Land, but Roll insisted--better than actually dropping some acid, she said. Well, now they're floating in a section of space that inexplicably has atmosphere, with no apparent way to exit. Maybe they're waiting for Marky the rainbow unicorn to come by and wait Marky's a guy?!

(...yeah, my mind was legitimately blown when I found that out during a Google search. Not because of the rainbows, but the ridiculous amount of pretty)


BG was mostly borrowed/referenced from a sticker sheet with lots of Markys on it; I didn't use the weird chromatic rearrangements the rainbows had there, though. It was hard enough just making that one on the far right look decent.

Also gave Proto his MM8 hair for the hell of it. Was considering changing his and Rock's hair colours to something not brown, but it didn't look that good.


Maybe next time I'll have some actual redesigns. :/

Posted on: October 13, 2011, 06:54:31 AM

Poor kid's been getting jerked around by Capcom quite a bit these days. That poster in UMvC3, which references that one Imperfect Future story in The Uncanny X-Men, in which Megaman has taken Wolverine's spot (i.e. the one not marked "apprehended" or "slain")? Just a cameo, nothing more.

We've been asking for at least one version of Megaman to get into UMvC3...and all we get is a tiny cameo. Oh, and Wolverine died at the end of that story.

Might not have bothered me as much--apart from the dying bit--had I known it was just a cameo earlier.


Rock put on some Joy Division and went for a walk; maybe he'll meet up with Lain Iwakura later.


* Based off some old Capcom Cyber Channel art, viewable via a link somewhere on this page: http://kobun20.interordi.com/2010/07/23/midsummer-greetings-from-the-capcom-sound-team/

Posted on: October 14, 2011, 07:57:32 AM

Tried drawing some BN/ZERO/ZX stuff again, mostly at the top.

* RS.EXE is also very careful not to get himself deleted, because Van (whose design needs work) doesn't seem to have a single other family member capable of empathy.

* I don't think I ever posted that old sketch page full of BN stuff; Tyr was on it. She's Trill's sister (Mega Jr., his brother--that name or some variation of it is indeed official, I think), and takes after her mom; she's also a paranoid wreck who booby-trapped the house comp in case of hackers.

* Forgot to put "(C) Liz" above Robo-Sonya's/Emberwoman's head. D'oh.

* Bascule is one of the few MMZ characters I remember creating (the others are extensions of the Judge line). Even from the beginning, he was an in-story failure; his arc would involve proving that he isn't.

* Biometals are much harder to design than they look. x.x

* Poor RS-Rock doesn't like being unable to physically help whoever he's working with.

* Hi, there Splashproto. Or is it Protosplash?

* My dreams are still weird.

* Ruby down there? Her (his?) name might as well be "Trollwoman"; she's a tough boss, yet the weapon Mega gets from her is pointless. Too bad I don't seem to have the original meme saved.

* Proto isn't sure he likes his poncho.

* Lots of Crosses--tweaked the five existing ones on display slightly, and drew up a new one, Plant Cross (with elements from both Plantman and his Navi counterpart).

Quick photo of Koto-MM and Roll (using her pre-MM8 bangs), taken in front of a closet that's probably full of spiders. D:

Proto uses his one good eye to glare into your soul.

Or maybe he's just not amused.

Tried experimenting with the colouring a bit.

Hopefully, whatever Rock's talking about isn't too bad.

Drew this very, VERY early in the morning; I was still awake then and I had an idea related to my NGE/MM crossover: what if the 'bots (or just Rei) wore armour based on the original human characters' EVAs? (It was actually more related to Kotobukiya getting permission from Gainax to make kits based off that, but that's just a pipe dream)

Submitted it to Pixiv first, in the hopes that someone there might like the idea. It currently only has 36 views. :/

I tried to keep her armour simple, while still obviously based off Unit-00 (jumpsuit colour is derived from Unit-00's original colour scheme). Not sure how well it worked.

Reposting some things from FA (at least, the things that no one said a goddamn word about). Originally drawn 6/17.

Protocat cares not that he's about to make out with Megaskunk in public. (For that, he shall receive a very stern tail-yanking)

Drawn 6/18.

Lady, there is such a thing as "personal space".

Drawn 7/9.

Too bad Rock can't spray anyone; otherwise, this bothering wouldn't go on for so long.

Posted on: October 20, 2011, 03:33:48 AM

Finished this early in the morning, and would've completed those redesigns of Rubato and his pals had I not been hit with massive sleep deprivation.

Just a comparison between regular good-guy Trigger and evil brainwashed Trigger, with some attempt at Legends 1-style shading.

Looking back on evil!Trigger, it seems I never drew/coloured his armour the same way twice. The only constant was that his armour was supposed to be lighter in colour than regular Trigger's (which I can't really tell anymore).

He's also incredibly polite (like Juno, except when he's not) and always refers to whatever he and brainwahsed!Roll Caskett steal as "generous donations". Yeah, they were only too happy to donate after you buster-whipped them, Volnutt.

Posted on: October 21, 2011, 09:54:31 PMRedesigns for an MML fanfic I may never complete.

Backstory: Evil!Volnutt and Caskett raided the SEED ship; Caskett took Rubato while Volnutt had his way with the place. She really wanted to keep the poor kid, but the boss said no, so she landed the Flutter and handed him over to the first person she saw--namely, Navy.

Navy had better take very, very good care of Rubato.

Posted on: October 23, 2011, 07:11:24 AM

Rather than make individual pics for the rest of the pilots, I just drew everyone from the waist up here. Yay laziness! (I thought there was at least one EVA without pylons; I was wrong)

* Everyone's unit designation is based off their EVA, not their actual "Nth Child" title.

* Kensuke is the pilot of Unit-04 in some productions; his armour's colours were altered a bit to provide more balance.

Still can't make coloured pencils look good.

Sorry, Proto, you couldn't make out with this version of Rock even if you wanted to.

Quick space-filling pic of Rock and Roll, with the former wearing something blatantly swiped off a Google Image Search for "grunge fashion". (This might actually be neo-grunge)

As for Rock, he's probably looking at some off-screen fox moments before it levitates in the air and shoots laser beams out of its arsehole. /ashen

["Cross-Series Pets"] A.K.A. "RADIX Couldn't Think of a Title".

I've been playing MML2 the past nights/early mornings; Geetz has been defeated, and I just have to get those other Digger licenses and explore those other ruins before heading off to the final battle. I also have lots of Legends/Classic stuff on the brain as a result.

Why Tango and not Rush? I think that if you bring a cat on board the Flutter in the first game, the Flutter soon becomes overrun with them. So, uh...joke?

So who here's surprised that I found another way to pair up Mega and Proto?

Well...maybe. Trigger could've just lost something in Protoman's stuff, which somehow ended up in his bureau drawers, and...nope, maybe Trigger was just perving around.


Didn't like the way Trigger's mouth turned out on paper, so I altered it in Photoshop. Hopefully, it isn't too noticeable despite my pointing that out.

Out of nowhere, Yuna.

Drawing/colouring with crayons only wasn't quite as hard as I thought it'd be, and I'm happy with the final pic for now. Only retouched some nasty black marks around the top of the pic and Proto's face.

Roll Light, might wanna ask Tron to put your brother down before she runs off and recruits him as Servbot #42.

Posted on: October 25, 2011, 06:28:11 AM

Seems I have access to dA's Sta.sh feature now. Will I ever use it, though?


* Tempoman and Warpwoman come from an old thread on Pixelation/Way of the Pixel.

* Redesigned Roll Cross hopefully still resembles Roll.EXE/Roll Soul without being a blatant recolour-ish jumpsuit thing like last time.

* Turns out that no, I didn't draw Robo-Rei like that.

* That "Beta Squad" stuff pertains to some MM AU that I couldn't think of a name (or armour design) for.

* Lyrica is an unused design who had two colour schemes; I went with the black/white one.

* I think Solaris's first design lacked pants. Now it's fixed.

* I should probably digitize that doodle of Trigger and Rock later.

* There's this Taiwanese MML edutainment game, "Adventure to Save the World", that gives Trigger and Tron alternate designs on the boxart (Trigger's in-game model is identical to his MML1 model, I think). Tron is relatively unchanged (not sure where the purple eyes came from), but Trigger...he looks like an amalgamation of X and MM1-Boxart Mega (at least in the yellow armband-things).

* Venus has deadly curves, Mega doesn't; this makes her sad. (Spoiler: Probably not what they're talking about.)

* Rock doesn't like having dog ears.

It's forty-something degrees outside and Rock's only wearing stockings with no pants?

I dunno why I keep wanting to draw things in Paint. Maybe it's just to prove I can actually do it. (Rock wearing a sweater was inspired by a recent DD; Roll's attire is semi-derived from one of Roll Caskett's concepts)

Posted on: October 28, 2011, 08:32:42 PM

Please don't torture him, Tron.

Theory: RS-X ended up as tall as he is because the writers/artists wanted to make him as distinct from Rock as possible. After all, game-X is not a mere recolour/redeco of game-Rock.

(Anyone got an estimates of how tall RS-Rock and X are? I cannot do math)

It could also be why X is somewhere in his thirties/early forties, as opposed to Rock's 15-21. (Even if all that musculature is just his armour, I have a hard time believing he'd only be in his teens)

For Halloween, they dressed up as each other, then took out Onslaught who was dressed as certain nitwits at CoJ.

Posted on: October 31, 2011, 08:54:17 AM

Rock doesn't like being stuck in Checkerboard Land.


Based off some official(?) art for the anime. Funny story: I literally could not find a BRS Figma that wasn't ludicrously expensive, or coming from a seller in China/Hong Kong. ;_; (Well, there was White Rock Shooter from a Japanese seller, but she was about $99)

Lots of plasma cake + Proto's lack of decent weights = why would a robot need to work out if their muscles don't work quite the same as humans'?

Oh yeah, Proto's being a [Bumpity-Boom!] again.

Posted on: November 03, 2011, 07:28:46 PM

Title comes from the fact that for a split second, when I saw Lily Blossom on the shelf, I thought she was Derpy Hooves.

Also, this photo is mostly an excuse to talk about ponies.

So long story short, I earned Lily today (mostly due to removing coffee stains from the outside of Mom's car--someone threw it at us as we were coming home on Halloween--and helping Mom haul cardboard over to the recycling place). Not quite sure how her mane and tail exploded into that semi-80s nightmare if all she did was sit in the closet.

The other one I have to earn (or just wait until Christmas for) is Rainbow Dash; the others (Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie) are for Christmas, and were gotten at Toys R Us shortly before the store relocated. Thankfully, I currently have some place to put them all (my room's a mess).


Rock seems to be more interested in Lily's swan buddy; the swan, being made of pure evil, is waiting for the right moment to peck his face off.

Posted on: November 04, 2011, 08:19:08 PM

Largely an attempt at emulating ~herms85's colouring, using a page of Megaman facing the Yellow Devil in #1. Also wanted to get down that angry fembot's design and colour scheme. (Next time I'm putting the gradients on a separate layer from the flats...)

I could just keep calling her "Crapcom-tan", but I do need a proper name for her; just can't think of a good one. Her design's loosely based off of Ishikawa's AU Roll (at least, just in the gauntlets).

Posted on: November 09, 2011, 04:08:40 PM

Rock might not mind his current predicament if the person he swapped bodies with wasn't Morrigan. And if he hadn't been forced to.

Proxima, what you're doing--forcing Rock to run about your offices without his pants--is very illegal. Stop it.


(Crapcom-tan has a proper name now, though it doesn't really relate to the company's name in any way...)

Posted on: November 14, 2011, 02:02:54 AM

This one took a bit longer than usual to finish, mostly due to art block.


*Rock and Roll having/building a kid is something I've seen tossed around more than once (mostly by Capcom gags and NAdM). Rock's never happy about it; can't imagine why (unless it's Alt, who he's fine with).

* I would totally play Megaman Mass Attack if it existed.

* That's meant to be cartoon-Felicia RS-Rock's holding, but she's still scantily-clad...

* Eddieman there comes from the Power Fighters Secret File.

* Humanized-ponies-as-RS-MM-cast? Totally not because I had a brain fart.

*I think I'm literally the only one to theorize that "Rock = Zero"...years after PF made that theory and many others concerning who became Zero obsolete. (Honestly, the only grounds for it is NAdM-Zero being a Light 'bot)

* Peach's Tanooki Suit...

* Am I the only one thinking that RS-Rock might have some Covert Pervert tendencies?

I took these pictures ages ago and should've compiled them sooner.

The Mega and Roll ones were from my messing around with them one night. I prefer Roll with her MM8 dress; her MM8 hair is a bit hard for me to change out.

It's not easy getting two model kits to embrace (or just one, really). :/

Also I feel like people buy into the "if there's an alt, character isn't happening" train of thought too much with this game.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I dunno why they'd bother putting X in separately if Capcom apparently feels he plays so similarly to Zero (Maverick weapons, dammit, there's gotta be something to work with there).

MAYBE it's just some elaborate "we'l give these characters each other as alts so people can sorta pick how they want these guys to play" setup...but that's highly unlikely, and they could just have X's alt. be his CM armour or something instead.

X alt should become a full character and Zero should get a Megaman Zero alt. Him not getting that is the biggest injustice here.

Someone on TMMN suggested Zero.EXE; I think they'd be similar enough to avoid geometry-induced bugs (or something) and the buster issue (maybe?). I wouldn't mind an original alt, myself, but that's just me.

Since I don't have a PS3 or 360, I can't really discuss teams. I did try Tron/Sentinel/Hsien-Ko on regular MvC3 the other day, at a con--the other fellow wiped the floor with me.

A bad future in which Sentinels have killed most mutants MvC2 characters, and of the ones in the current "wanted" list, Megaman is the only one that hasn't been captured/killed.

But see, Mega took Wolverine's spot. On the plus side, no "apprehended/slain" mark. On the downside, Wolverine DIED at the end of the original story. So Mega's as good as slain anyway.

and in a way trolled yourselves if you thought that that was something than just a reference.

Over at PRC, at least, it was not immediately known to just be a reference. And I believe whoever told us that also said they stuck it in knowing full well we'd think there was more to it.

The whole way they've handled it with these "versions" and [parasitic bomb] is just terrible. They basically sold what amounts to a beta for 60$, and now want to release the "full" game, for a slightly reduced price so's to say "Sorry bout that." They should have just waited, and released UMvC3 as MvC3...

Supposedly, CoJ was going to release all the UMvC3 stuff as DLC, but then the earthquake hit, and they had to put UMvC3 on a disc to recoup losses, or something. It's a plausible explanation...buuuuuut CoJ has outright lied to us several times now, right? So who knows.

So to understand you correctly, we can't use MM in any form or make any references (other than as a playable character) without pissing some folks off?

I think you need thicker skin. I'd also think as a fan, you should like to see any/all exposure for MM to raise awareness for the brand in any form, even if you personally aren't satisfied by the execution.

Sven wants everyone who's angered at/disappointed with alt-X to shut up. (Ganked from someone PRC who quoted that; should be somewhere on Unity)

...so X got reduced to first a card, then an alternate costume for Zero, who some fans feel has been hogging the spotlight for a while.

I know what AquaTeamV3 just said, but I am not amused. At all.

But let me ask you this, if it was a Megaman hint, would Capcom/Niitsuma really come out in the open and say it?

Probably not, but didn't a lot of us want X? I think him being a card more-or-less deconfirms his proper inclusion.

I'm sorry, I can't assume that every single denial is a definitive hint, high-level troll or not. I'm disappointed enough with CoJ as is.


edit: Better Nova ending pic, with Roll's face visible.

As for Classic, the Days of Future Past poster and insertion in Thor's ending kind of hint at him showing up.

I'm sorry if this sounds hostile, but what part of "NOT A HINT" didn't you get? And it wasn't Niitsuma who said that.

(edit: maybe not the best thing to say after it's pointed out to me that Niitsuma is a gigantic troll, but still. Unless I'm wrong and Niitsuma DID say that and it was just relayed to us)

Niitsuma also said that Yatterman-2 wouldn't be in TvC:UAS, and look what happened there.  You've gotta take what he says with a grain of salt, because he does have a tendency to say stuff that isn't necessarily true, and as you said, Capcom can change their mind on a whim.

Wasn't aware they changed their mind on Yatterman-2, either--but then, TvC came out before MM's future was in serious doubt.

So like I said, no goddamned idea. [/broken record] If they do finally give in and include MM or X, they'd better handle them very carefully. Nobody would want them to get in, only to get shafted in some manner (like in, say, the ending).

Nii-san is a pretty high level troll. He just doesn't look the part like Ono does.

That reminds me, was it immediately known that the IF ref. was just a meaningless bit of background?

I wasn't aware of the splice, either. But I believe that Niitsuma explicitly stated at one point that MM wouldn't be DLC; there might be some grounds in MM or X getting in anyway in Capcom's backpedaling on Strider Hiryu, but I honestly can't tell if they're hinting at inclusion or just yanking our chains again, and I'm not holding out any hope for the former.

Especially since, you know, that Imperfect Future reference was explicitly stated to not be a hint of any kind.

Is Roll a part of the roster yet?

No.

In other news, people are getting salty about Megaman appearing in Nova's (and Thor's) ending.  I thought it was clever above anything else. :/

People are stupid.

Or maybe everyone still remembers both Niitsuma's non-reasons for excluding MM and X (I'm sure that by now, the fanbase has come up with a thousand ways to make those two distinct from the other fighters)?

I dunno. I'm glad that these new cameos aren't of the "becomes horrible and depressing with context" variety, like the Imperfect Future reference, at least. And those ARE some nice Nova costumes.
