Art of DarkWaltz *10-17-12* New Robot Master

[DarkWaltz]

I've mentioned in my intro that I draw a lot. I found my first decent Mega Man picture on my DA gallery so I thought it's appropriate to start with it.
I've never really drawn Rock and Co. as seriously as this, all it originally was, was just a sketch. Then Roll appeared, than Rush and then I figured 'Oh heck with it' and added Proto and Light. I realize this has it's fair share of problems, but I liked the coloring aside from Rock's suit. I think it's too dark.

Colored in Prismacolor markers, inked in Micron pen and the white highlights is done by a Sakura Pentouch.

Very nice first post. ^^

[Protoman Blues]

Very nice indeed.  I hope to see more.

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

That's very nice!  I really like that, keep it up!

[Sapphire✧9]

Its good but Dr.Light he scared the [parasitic bomb] out of me! 

[borockman]

Very nice coloring there!

[DarkWaltz]

Thank you everyone.

@SpeedRemix - Yeah, it's my first time drawing him, and I don't normally draw older people either so yeah... he didn't turn out as well as I would've liked.

[Dr. Wily II]

If Dr. Light looks like that... I wonder how Dr. Wily looks...
Really cool pic there.

Been a while so I'll update with one of my OCs, just finished her today actually. ^^

Swiftwind, an equine based reploid who works as a scout/ recon unit due to her speed and small frame of 4'9". Her armor and frame is rather light, so she can be damaged more easily then the others. I tried using colors that are light and airy for her, since she represents wind. What weapon she uses I havn't quite decided, possibly a saber since it's more quiet... maybe.

Done with prismacolor marker and white pencil for highlights.

[Protoman Blues]

Wow, she looks awesome.  I like her design a lot.  As for weapons, how about a Beam Fan? 

[DarkWaltz]

Thanks. ^^

Beam fan, eh? Never thought of that, but now that you mention it, I could actually see it. Thank you very much. ^^

[borockman]

Very nice design and color there. She looks swift. 

[Protoman Blues]

Glad I could help!

*Ba dum tish!*

Proto; I appreciate it really. I need to develope them a little more other then giving them their designs, height, and role.

Currently I have Swift's 'sister' Sunriser in the works (Inking process atm) then I have the three 'brothers' to finish the unit off, plus my more main OC, plus the eight Irregulars, only one having a slight idea for a design.  @_@

It's a great start though.  Design, height, and role are definitely important.  Heh, okay height is a minor thing, but more I'm always a fan of lots of character information.

I do look forward to seeing more of the character designs and everything.  For Sunriser, the first weapon that comes to mind is a Solar Buster, if that helps! 

[borockman]

When I heard sunriser I thought alarm clock, go me! 

[DarkWaltz]

Well, Sun serves as a field medic and a hacker. So normally she's behind her brothers and sister. Although I see for her weapon as something similar to a character from an N64 fighting game whose names escapes me right now. Reminds me of a large shuriken with a sharp steel frame around the circumferance. And with Sun, she probably utilizes solar energy when its charged and throws it. Although solar powered she wouldn't be very effective at night unless it was charging through the day.

Wait until I'm done with my main OC, Taima. I'm still working on her profile, right now I'm on her armor specs and weapons list.

@ borockman - Actually the names of the Equine unit all bear the names of the horse from my favorite childhood cartoons, Rainbow Brite and She-Ra. Swiftwind from She-Ra, Sunrise, Starlight, Skydancer, and Onyx from Rainbow Brite.

... Thank goodness I was never that much in the 'My Little Pony' cartoon.

A Solar Shuriken?  Very nice idea actually.  I like that a lot better than a Solar Buster.  Of course, now I'm trying to think of the Fighting Game.

Ahhhhh 80's cartoons.  Is there anything they can't do?

Found it, it's from a fighting game called 'Dark Rift'. Didn't do very well, but it was enough to keep a younger me entertained after playing the crap out of Star Fox, Mario, JFG, and Zelda.

You gotta love that nostalgia factor.

You know, they really need to make a new Jet Force Gemini game.  Heh, but I don't remember Dark Rift.  Probably too busy playing the absolute hell out of Mario Kart 64, #2 on the PB's "Favorite Awesome Go-to Games of All Time" List!

Oh totally.  Knowing me, I might name the horses after the ones from the Galaxy Rangers cartoon. 

[DarkWaltz]

Update! So early.

Swiftwind's 'sister' SUnriser. SHe serves as her unit's field medic and hacker. Her main weapon is a solar powered shuriken. Her armor is based on a corset of all things and is the only one of the Equine Five to not have hooves. Her coloration is mostly to her fiery element and to oppose Swift's more cooler colors.

[Protoman Blues]

And a very awesome update it is.  I really do like your designs & character descriptions. 

[borockman]

She's even hotter than her sis. 

I like the palette details myself.

[Sniper X]

Wow, you draw beautiful designs and colour so beautiful. ^^

[DarkWaltz]

Thank you everyone. ^^ I'll be working on Starlight, the unit's leader today.

As for Sun, she's supposed to be more mature/ seductive looking while Swift is more innocent in appearance. It probably didn't help that the design is from a corset.
