That "something" would be a plasmasicle; Rock isn't feeling well right now.

Drawn with Liz in mind; I know it isn't much, but if she ever sees this, I hope it'll cheer her up a little.

Proto hates cops; now he's on the force. This career choice is especially bad since he put (or helped put) several of his coworkers' buddies in the ground, and they know it. So instead of a paycheck, he can expect continuous beatings.

...yeah, being a clerk at Books-A-Million doesn't seem like such a bad idea now, does it, Proto?

I should've coloured this ages ago.

Don't remember seeing any KH/Bug's Life world forms; all of my references came from the activity center. (Yeah. I own a lot of Disney activity center CDs, and they all found ways to scare the [acid burst] out of me as a kid) Maybe the lack of buggy world forms is due to difficulty in making everyone distinguishable (if that makes any sense)?

* Mickey, Donald, and Goofy should be easily identifiable. They're a pill bug, flea, and rhino beetle respectively.

* Sora's a moth (wasn't meant to be a gypsy moth, but that's what he ended up looking like); he's holding either a new Keyblade, or one that can only be used in this world.

* Riku's a praying mantis. An albino praying mantis.

* Kairi's a black widow. Or purple widow, apparently.

* Roll became a stick bug, and is almost indistinguishable from Slim.

* Rock's a ladybug. He's still pissed about that.

* Wuxa's a centipede. He's REALLY pissed about that, since for some reason he can't fly in this form.


Jiminy was supposed to be in this pic, but that was thwarted by both my crappy memory and my laziness. :/

And that was the last time Sora and co. ever, EVER asked for Chaos's help.

Sora's group has also expanded considerably; now it includes Aqua and Terra (Ven's still missing), Carly Cat, Blues, and...Vanitas and Xemnas? (I do have that worked out, so the only thing the group has to worry about is "Can we rehabilitate those two before Cosmos decides we're not going it fast enough?")

* Sora, Riku, and Kairi all had designs already; Mickey, Donald, and Goofy's were based on their own nephews/son.

* Aqua, Terra, and Roxas's clothes were based on the ones they were already wearing before Chaos de-aged everyone.

* Xemnas's clothes are based on Master Xehanort's/Ansem Seeker of Darkness's.

* Rock and Roll are wearing, more or less, what they wore in RS-MM, with the beige parts of Roll's clothes becoming pink. blues's trench coat-thing is essentially what he wore in Mega/Gigamix, except red and with stomping boots.

* Xion's design is based on her armoured form, and Sora's clothes; she and Namine have different hair lengths to parallel Kairi's (from BBS to KH1).

* Just to clarify, Wuxa is floating; I forgot to add an aura.

* Vanitas didn't fit. So he got put in a word bubble thing. Bite me, Vanitas.


Man, the age/height inconsistencies...I forgot Xemnas was supposed to be in his thirties. D:

Rock isn't sure how he got stuck looking after the Onion Knight and Bartz, but he's not too happy about it. (Especially not with so many bastard semes lurking about)


just realized that, since Rock is so tiny, I've accidentally made Bartz and OK into elementary-schoolers. or midgets.

[Context matters.] Like, a lot. Yeah, Contempt's pose could be considered "sexy", but she's a [sonic slicer] who'll grind down your nuts (or vag) if you [acid burst] her off and Power isn't around to thrash you.

Wanted to hold off posting this until I was sure that MMU's canning wasn't an April Fools' joke.

Poor Roll; I tried imitating Mr. Kimoto's style and missed a few details.

I kept telling myself that I'd do something with those Marvel redesigns of the MM mains...

last year.

Yeah, this was totally worth the procrastination. :B


Poor Proto likely has good reasons for not going home that he can't share with Rock.

A.K.A. "MOAR FLOATING HEADS"

Doodled out of boredom. Originally just going to pertain to Rock, but there was too much negative space left over.

I hope the arrows are self-explanatory.

* Zaiaku's inclusion--I'm pretty sure Liz has something in mind for him and Rock beyond what I've seen. (Used a different colour for him since I'm not sure exactly what it is) Probably very "rawr" and scary. D:

* Victoria/Rock came before Victoria/Phuong. None of that "teenage experimentation" crap that some "yuri" writers use to weasel out of actually writing yuri.

* Corrin and Nerissa are my attempts at "Saban Moon" counterparts of Haruka and Michiru. Both are very British, and Nerissa used to be blonde before I decided that dyed-green hair would make her stand out among all the other blondes on this page.

Posted on: April 04, 2011, 05:07:51 PM

This has nothing to do with that one absoludicrous RS-MM/Elf Quest fic (though RS-Rock is in this pic somewhere)

For whatever reason, I imagine Rock would be interested in role-playing (specifically pen-and-paper DnD-ish stuff. But he doesn't want to make his character a blatant expy of himself, because he's heard of Gary Stus*. So he goes nuts (relatively speaking).

The end result is that lady up there (named "Diot"). A blonde-haired, orange-eyed elf with horrible fashion sense and metal leggings. She, like Rock, more or less lives to defend, but unlike Rock, she has the advantage of knowing exactly when and where someone needs help. Her crow familiar mostly sits on her arm and pecks out the eyes of douchebags.

Funtastic fact: Proto wasn't too enthusiastic about RPing, but Rock insisted he join. Can you guess what he decided to do?


At least Substitute-Mars down there noticed the inexplicable powder-blue jacket on Diot.

Oh dream-based plotbunnies, how I love you.

In some alternate universe, Roxas escaped The World That Never Was, eluding both sets of pursuers. He made it to the tower...but found nothing. Sensing danger, he continued to run, finally breaking through into a different world, one far removed from the Organization's base.

It was just a grassy field, with the silhouette of a tower visible in the distance. As Roxas took a closer look, he could see that this field was more of a grass-covered asteroid.

And he wasn't alone. Someone walked up to him, not saying a word; when Roxas asked his name, the other one simply replied, "Kara."


(BBS SPOILERS AHEAD)

(click to show/hide)

In other words, in this AU, Roxas is actually the Nobody of Ventus, and Kara is Sora's true Nobody. Seems Xemnas got something mixed up.

Unfortunately, Kara is more or less an empty shell, and Roxas isn't sure why he's following him around. Since Roxas hasn't had a clear view of Sora yet, he also has no idea that Kara is YET ANOTHER Sora clone. At least this one has an excuse like all the others (hopefully).

In the original dream, Roxas somehow ended up in my elementary/middle school, and was writing something down when Kara walked up to him. Then it slowly became "amnesiac Roxas trapped on an asteroid where passing the giant V carved into the ground will result in an unwinnable boss fight against a monumentally-pissed Lexaeus". Yeah.

Here's what Mr. Empty Shell looks like without the hood. In other words, like Sora.

I wanted to name him the Okinawan word for "sky" or "empty", but there aren't any comprehensive dictionaries (at least, not in English), and in the one preview of a book that was, the words I was looking for were excluded. At least "Kara" ended up sounding alright.

Disagreements were inevitable, as was Proto getting shoved off of Bob's glider-thing.

'Bout time I got around to the other two.

For F-Blues, I mostly went off Chron's advice (short hair, lone wolf); M-Roll was based off of Irvine. At least, he got his hat at the same place as Irvine.

F-Blues looks more like her RS-counterpart now. :/

Don't wait for a response, Tears/Ryunami; Void is officially in derp mode. :B

#Scion-of-Engelbaum has Void classified as a Blue subgen, but Void is subconsciously smart enough not to bother Blue Wisdom/whatever her non-Gen name is. Me, I'd probably go right up to her and be all "HI THERE ". Shortest dream ever.

This has a lot to do with something I like: pretty shiny things (if you'd been to my first or second elementary school in the mid to late 90s you might've seen me bending over to pick up sequins every thirty seconds like a dumbass). Doesn't help that Tears must reflect light like a [chameleon sting]er (assuming that she's always watery like in my reference pic).

Hurf. :/

No no, Rock will become X.

No, Roll will go into hiding as a seemingly-unimportant Navigator, using the name "Ryan Akhart".

Capcom's going on their 18th year of "delaying the inevitable"

That reminds me of some whinging I saw on TV Tropes. Specifically, the Wall Banger/Video Games section.

Speaking of, how long is Capcom gonna continue to cocktease us with all of these Red Herring Twists for the definitive connection between the original series and the X series? First there was the whole thing with Wily convincing the robots to rebel against their expiration dates in 9, which could've been an awesome starting point for Wily's look into the mindset of how to make a robot rebel for his Maverick virus, but the aforementioned Overly Long Gag was shoehorned in at the last second, then in 10, it's learned that the Roboenza virus was Wily's creation, which could've been the originator of the Maverick virus, but instead, Wily hands out the cure for it himself, at the end of the game. What the hell? Quit teasing us, Capcom, and give us what we want, no more carrot-dangling.

I smell entitlement.

Heartless: *poof*


Sketch thing.
Another sketch thing.

Experimented with the Crayon tool in SAI and forgot that my version of hatless NiGHTS doesn't have bangs.

Useless fact: For the longest time, I just borrowed *iMAGNi (then ~astrima)'s version of NiGHTS (long blonde hair and pearly horns). No pointy ears, though.

~SoniaGrimm will know where this came from.

KH!Sony (who now doesn't even vaguely resemble KH or RS-Proto) isn't too happy about Rock, some wimp from Traverse Town, babysitting his little sister. So he makes it clear to Rock early on that if anything, no matter how minor, happens to KH!Amy, not even Cosmos and Chaos will be able to put him back together.

It would be perfectly understandable if Rock just left Amy with anyone else in the party and hid under the covers for the rest of the day.


Also, something occurred to me whilst drawing this: Sony, Rock, and Riku could form one of those yaoi love triangles wherein Riku is very protective of Rock, Sony is waiting for the perfect opportunity to shove his giant metal rod up Riku's jacksie (innuendo not intended), and Rock will wallop Sony to pieces if he touches Riku.

Except Sony doesn't like either of them, so God knows why he's in a love triangle.

But I do also suggest a story for something like this, it might give a sense why KH Rock is with Sora, Simba, whoever in the KH multiverse in the first place, like how they met.

I do have one, it's just nowhere near completion because I think my writing sucks.

What would you do in my clothes? Would you continue working for month on something that belongs to someone else, or would you prefer creating something of your own?

I would've been annoyed at the implications that original projects are always completed simply by virtue of being original. (Not saying this to discredit your work; I've had a few original projects that went absolutely nowhere)

« on: March 25, 2011, 07:06:32 AM »

Good Lord I can't believe I'm updating this thing again. Mostly more "just before the Dark Age of the Internet" crap again, but some of it I found amusing.

Also, all of these sites are in Portuguese, which I cannot read without Babelfish. So I'm probably wrong about a few things.

http://megaman_site.vilabol.uol.com.br/index.htm Last update in 2001.

* Claims that Protoman is a joint creation of Drs. Light and Wily; I don't think it mentioned anything about his internal problems, just that he turned "evil".

* Dr. Cossack and Kalinka are Arab now! (...buh?)

* Roll, Kalinka, Beat, Auto, Dr. Cain, and General all got gender-bendered. I dunno if some of those are mistakes on the webmaster's part or if Babelfish just doesn't like Portuguese pronouns.

* Claims X is Megaman and Zero is Protoman.

* Claims Megaman and Bass is Megaman 9.

There's also lots of CD database stuff that I haven't looked into yet; I think their claim of Megaman converting Bass to good was just a joke.

www.megamanxbase.hpg.com.br/ Last update in 2002; not much of note other than claiming that the Astro Boy series (all of them) and the Megaman series are directly related.

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/7043/ (Site is defunct; you have to run it through Babelfish). The last update apparently wasn't in 2000, but I only looked into one of the archived versions from that year.

* Not only does the Classic series take place in the 2050s, but the X series is only "a distant 30 years away".

* Once again, Wily is Dr. Light's former assistant. All of the industrial robots (and Proto) were built before Megaman and Roll.

* Claims that Proto is training Megaman in MM3.

* Spells Kalinka's name as "Karinka", just like a certain comic.


That's about all I could find. I want to try and look into www.gamezero.com/ later via Wayback Machine (site seems to be busy right now) and see if they have anything on Megaman.

EDIT: Turned out I didn't have to use WM, but sadly, I could only find two MM-related things there--both unimpressed reviews of MM7 and MMX. Damn.

EDIT2: Wait, they had an MM4 review, too. Derp. Only things of note are a misspelling ("Cosak") and the "Megablaster".

Posted on: March 19, 2011, 08:17:59 PM

Lots of World forms this time, plus a redesign of Atlantica!Rock.

I highly doubt that KH3D will feature any worlds taken from educational Disney shows (or just shows that aired on The Disney Channel back in '98)--but if they do, I hope Sora and Riku visit PB&J Otter, JUST so that sea otter!Sora down there will make sense.

I really, really hope dA is okay with my experimental use of Terragen as a proper BG (and not like in some of my crappy old art).

Revenant!Cloud: "Screw around with my poorly-thought-out and vague plans, will you? Let's see how you like sitting around in some half-finished late-90s render of mountains and a lake this purgatorial dimension!"

Aerith: "As soon as my friends separate you from Cloud, I'm gonna shove that Guard Stick of mine in your arse. Sideways."


Terragen's actually a decent program; I just couldn't remember everything (especially those clouds) being so pixel-y.

And it occurs to me that the scale is all off. Derp.

Why six minutes? Because that's how long the demo of ancient art program Flying Colors lets you futz around before booting you out. I was in such a hurry to finish before then that I forgot to colour in Clouds neck, and how his hair works. Now he looks less like Coud and more like Cloud and Sora's lovechild. D'oh.

Flying Colors's demo was one of those available on the Club KidSoft Vol. 3 Issue 4 CD. A Google search turned up nothing (same for another program that interested me, Comic Creator), even though it was supposed to be this SUPER-AWESOME kid's art program that even the professionals were impressed by. I am sadface.

Posted on: March 21, 2011, 09:55:40 AM

Whatever they're arguing over, it's not the romantic affections of regular Rock, and the possible resulting fight will not be of the feline variety.

Obtaining the Four Sword Keyblade doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore, huh, Sora?

When I was a kid, I'd sometimes stay over at their house and watch Toon Disney downstairs. That channel doesn't even exist anymore...


(That "don't hold it like that" bit? Reference to a Spanish-language promotional comic for KH1, "The Scepter and the Kingdom"; Sora rarely holds the Keyblade by the hilt there.)

Second attempt at emulating Shiro Amano's style; I like how it came out, even if there's lots of tiny nitpicky things that bug me (like some parts of the inking. Darn unsteady hand).

Too bad Sora's uniform didn't have Micky Mouse pants...

...I had this finished much earlier and forgot to submit it. D'oh.

Another dream-inspired one; this time, Cloud got possessed by someone called the Revenant (also the name of another Eidos-published game). Those giant purple wings that erupted from his back are the Revenant's mark; they're useless for flying, but can still be used to attack (i.e. flap so hard that the victim's internal organs are shredded from the force).

Whether or not Sephiroth believes he has competition depends on whether or not you consider the Complication to be canon, I guess. :/
