rocktober day 2 down!

tried to base this off of the speed gear from mega man 11 (the first game i actually played too!)

Hydro Man of Mega Man Ultimate fame is sporting a brand new look— and with it, a completely redrawn stage select portrait!

Initially, this wasn't going to be anything more than concept art drawn from the bust-up, though I'm so proud of what I managed to draw that I think it's time this blog sees some more Mega Man Ultimate content! 💙🏳️‍⚧️✨

Sibling Shuffle Lore Facts

Heyyy

Sorry it’s been a little while longer than usual

I haven’t had a lot of time to work on The Darkman Problem (it IS still coming) but I feel a little bad that it’s taking so long when it’s ultimately like 3 panels that I just haven’t had much time to work on. I’ve got time right now, so it should be coming really soon, but, uh… yeah.

Anyway, have some lore in the meanwhile!

Rock has a room at Light Labs. He doesn’t stay often or for very long, but it means something to Rock that they have it at all. 

Roll knows how to roller-skate. Kalinka has been trying to teach her how to ice skate any time one of them visits the other. (They’re also ((kinda)) pen-pals for most of the year! And by that I mean they send frequent emails to one another.)

Tango has done that thing that cats do where they lay across your computer keys. To literally everyone at Light Labs. On many occasions. 

Bass is barred entry from every arcade and bowling alley in the city , following The Incident™️. He’s actually pretty proud, seeing this as an accomplishment.

Tempo lets Rhythm do her hair sometimes while she reads off memes or Reddit stories she thinks Rhythm would find funny.

Time Keeps Slipping still happens in this universe. Here, Blues was sent back to the lab after realizing he was running at like 12% battery (since he got that "weird/sometimes-painful sensation" in his left arm, and he usually gets that more often when he’s at a lower charge). That’s when he was stopped and taken by Oil Man, though, meaning Blues was exhausted and honestly not feeling too great for that arc.

Piano has a theory that Wily might have gotten her and Bass's IC chips mixed up while making them, but has too big of an ego to admit this mistake. She has one of those cork boards with pictures and red string all over about it. (Bass doesn’t really care.)

Beat can be carried like a basketball under one arm. This is usually when he’s in recharge mode (in which he can slide his wings inside of his body, thus letting him be carried like that more easily).

Power-saving mode will gradually disable non-essential functions in a Robot Master the closer they are to 0%, such as the ability to speak or eye-screens lighting up. They might move a bit slower than if they were functioning at 100% charge, and behave as though tired. Power-saving mode activates automatically in Robot Masters that find themselves at 20% charge or below.

Dr. Light and Dr. Wily both have “worlds best dad” mugs. The difference is, Light’s mug was a Father’s Day gift, and Wily bought the mug for himself.

THIS IS EXTREMELY UNFINISHED ARTWORK!!! It wasn't turning out as well as I thought and I left the rending process halfway through. The proportions are also off. Still I need to post more things on this website so..... here. Related to this webcomic I am working on. WHO LIKES MEGAMAN?

[blu-ish]

Haberdashery Hangup: A Megaman Fluffysmut

"Would you like to let go of that fear, and perhaps try something new with me tonight?"

Rock can't stop thinking about pretty clothes, or the pretty lady who works in the clothing store. Will Rock overcome his fears and find love, or succumb to the limits he set for himself?

Yes, I am very awkward and unfamiliar with self promotion but I put a lot of love into this story and would be grateful if you read it <3

How much robots/ruppets and merch mimics are there? Hundreds, thousands, millions? Also is there a specific year where this world takes place in?

The Sentient Robot population is in the high-millions. In the US alone, for every five to seven cars there's one sentient-ish robot. There were several breakthroughs in analog neuromorphic computing, which allowed "robot-brains" to get produced as cheaply as cars, without the ridiculous performance costs current AI server farms have. Which isn't actually very cheap, but when companies can just build their workforce, and an aging population can just buy a robot to take care of them, people are willing to pay. "Sentient-ish" includes robots that are nonverbal but understand speech and are capable of learning things well beyond the capacity of an animal, but having certain limits, programmed or otherwise, that keeps them from fully matching human behavior. Add more sapient robots, usually caretakers and customer service-type people with.. improving rights, and you have a setting that's more or less like the Classic Megaman continuity.

Mimics on the other hand are tricky. For context, there's two eras in this setting; present day, and The Future, aka Kaita's Time, which is roughly 60 to 100 years later. Mimics exist in both of these time periods, and even way back to before human civilization, though Merch mimics specifically are a very recent phenomenon. They were simply golems made of metal, glass, stone, or wood before things like modern toys became a thing, and likewise they adapted to match with the times. There's roughly a million mimics out there, but about half of them are unstable and ghost-like, coming into existence and dispersing before they attain full, proper forms. The other half of all mimics persist for more than a year, but fewer still last any longer than a human lifetime, whether due to mimicking inert objects too well and forgetting to think, mimicking humans too well and dying due to that being The Thing Humans Are Supposed To Do, angel-culling, or trying to live forever but growing mad and lifeless from isolation anyway. But if a mimic does overcome these hurdles, they're basically going to last for eternity, albeit with at least a screw loose.

In the present day, we have guys like Victor running around, and the current cast will likely still be alive and kicking by the time Kaita and other robots are around. Happy Chatty is one of the only sentient, non-mimic robots that exists in the present day, possibly the first sentient human-made robot of this setting, so Victor and Vance could potentially meet 'em.

HDN-001 - BOPPER MAN Initially operating within an indoor trampoline park, Bopper Man, based off the bygone Socker Bopper craze of the nineties, once taught close-quarters boxing lessons before siding with Dr. Wily as part of his latest scheme. His compact and rubbery exterior makes for hard-hitting punches, and he is close friends with Bounce Man. Good Point: Resilient Bad Point: Cumbersome Likes: Friendly spars Dislikes: Standing idle for too long

I wanted a good excuse to practice the Classic Mega Man artstyle again, and I thought I ought to keep up with the new line of robot master OCs I had going... ladies and gentlemen, behold the first number of my latest faux Mega Man project Mega Man Odd Chance— Bopper Man! 💜💛✨

(December 5 - December 19, 2023)

A present from me to you. Open it up and see all the things I've drawn.

In Psychonauts 3, Bobby will be forklift certified.

This is a redraw of one of my earliest drawings of Raz.

DON'T STARE AT ME, NILS.

I know leviation negates the raccoon tail, but I could no longer resist drawing Raz with the tail power-up (SMB3 is my fav.)

Look at me, I'm a SKWIR-ELL.

Rejected sketch. Initially Chloe was holding her arm as if she had been injured. Bobby's threat was also going to be more violent, but y'know, I scrapped it so no need.

Lili :)

Kids talkin' mad shit for being within mop-beating distance.

Something about the top part of Hollis' suit reminding me of a Robot Master.

Simplified chibi-ish Misha, like a Megaman sprite.

Yyyup.

BUT I'M NOT DONE YET. I hit the picture limit, so part 2 will be ... soon.

"Airman ga Taosenai" (aka 「エアーマンが倒せない」 aka "I Can't Beat Air Man") is a famous song even on the Anglophone internet, even among people who have never played a Megaman game. (Or at least one person, who is currently typing a Tumblr post about the song. Hush.)

First off, the song is catchy. That always helps. But also, the song has a compelling...narrative, I suppose. It's familiar to anyone who plays games, even ones that aren't Megaman-ish.

The narrator is struggling with a platforming section in Heat Man's stage. Luckily, Item #2 makes this section trivial. Unfortunately, Airman has Item #2.

"I can't beat Air Man! It's impossible!" Luckily, the Leaf Shield makes Airman easier. Unfortunately, Wood Man has the Leaf Shield.

"I can't beat Wood Man! It's impossible!"

Yeah, video games do sometimes be like that. You think you have a solution for the current obstacle, but it doesn't work out. You come up with another plan, but before you can test it out, you run into another obstacle.

But there's one thing that bugs me. See, it would be so easy to take this one step further. Wood Man has his own weakness, one which could end the fight quickly: The Atomic Fire. And who do you need to beat to get Atomic Fire?

Heat Man.

It's so close to being a tidy, frustrating loop. I can't cross the disappearing blocks, but Item #2 would let me fly over them. But Air Man has that. I can't dodge Air Man's tornadoes, but Leaf Shield would let me block them. But Wood Man has that. I can't hit Wood Man consistently, but Atomic Fire would let me beat him in a couple shots. But Heat Man has that, and I can't get past his disappearing blocks, because I can't beat Air Man.

Isn't that closure so much more satisfying than "I can't beat Woodman, so I'll sing the Air Man chorus again"? Surely someone on NicoNico has to have written a verse like that which just never made it to the English-speaking Internet, right?
