My entry for @rockmiyabideusexmachina's summer contest!

When I read the contest guidelines, I knew I wanted something dramatic, yet also with small tinges of humour, featuring some of my favourite folks from the EXE series. When I started drafting a sketch, it began to look like a nightmare because I'd go WHY IS THERE AN EMPTY SPACE HERE DOES IT LOOK TOO EMPTY I BETTER FILL IT UP WITH MORE CHARACTERS AND THINGS and then suddenly the worry was that my composition might get too cluttered oh NO and how am I supposed to light it to get the focal points to still work out?!

Thankfully, with plenty of help and advice from my sister, I managed to get it to look somewhat like what I had envisioned <3 It was really fun to work on, in the end, especially as I got to revisit one of my favourite series of my childhood <333

Check out the other amazing entries here!! Everyone did a marvelous job!

The Big Boss of the Undernet. I’ve never been able to reach them back when I first played 3 waaay back in high school. This past December, doing another play through after so very long, I was finally able to defeat them.

I'm still not sure how Bass.EXE managed to get such a strong hold on my brain but I think it was the tragedy of it all and the wonder of what could have been if the world were a little kinder

So, not really a redesign this time (I AM SO GONNA GET CANCELLED FOR THIS) but here's the other half of the dynamic duo, Rockman!

Not alot has changed for him except his hair is more floofier for some godforsaken reason since Navis don't age. (my excuse for not redesigning him, saving that for something else...)

But however did became a bit taller.

Also that Netto and Rock sketch I did on the bottom right was based on this draft I found online btw

(courtesy of the mmbn wiki for finding this)

Rockman is the NetNavi of Netto, and the more polite and responsible of the duo. Despite that, can be very fierce in his battles that despite his small size, he can beat anyone up like a bug.

Outside the battlefield, he normally reminds Netto of his obligations; school, his homework and his laziness which is the cause of most of their arguments but, later manages to reconcile in the end.

In this rendition, Rock was created by Netto's dad and gifted him to Netto at the mere age of five, just two years after Netto's older twin brother Saito, died of HBD at a young age. (a/n: coincidence? I think not 😇)

During that time, Netto was not used to being now a only child. As Saito has always been at his side since birth until he suddenly died. Rock was able to fill that hole in his heart and accepted him as not just his NetNavi, also apart of his family and his best friend.

Because of this, they were able to have a brotherly bond as it's one of their best qualities as a team and also one of their strengths.

To conclude this post, I would like to announce that I am in fact, doing a rewrite of Rockman.EXE. I grew up with the series at the age of four and fell in love with the anime series which was my introduction to EXE (though being that netto and rock aren't twins in the anime and manga canon makes me so bitter asf)

In this rewrite it will still have the general plots from the games and anime + some from the manga, with a more darker feel to it. For one, angst and the other THE GAME AND MANGA HAD IMPLIED DARK THEMES CHANGE MY MIND. (also the anime but was watered down :|)

Game-exclusive characters such as Marie Towa, Ring.EXE, Kaita Todoroki, Turboman.EXE and Mamoru Urakawa will be included in the rewrite so don't worry, I haven't forgot them! Shun Obihiro and Serenade.EXE are also included too :)

(they deserve better capcom ;-;)

Anime-exclusive characters such as Tohru Hikawa (tho is also in the game but I don't accept that generic npc and Tohru are the same person) will also be included as well as more to come!

There's a lot in store for this rewrite so do please stay tuned! And feel free to like and reblog too! :)
