Set up a blog site to talk about Mega Man graphics. Starting a couple years ago, I ripped a bunch of background tiles from the NES hexalogy and jotted down what I found under the hood. Currently just has the introductory page, but I plan to add more.

7th and last attack, trying to include a background. I still need to practice those-- I definitely overscoped-- but I like how some of the rendering turned out.

Attack #6. Another last-minute addition, or I would've fixed some proportions. I like the double-necked guitar.

@axneon.com and I first met when I drew his Ratboy OCs a long time ago, so this continues that trend.

A bit of a time gap between attacks 4 and 5 due to college. The designer for this one makes a lot of good OCs but unlists them frequently, so I made this attack in a bit of a rush (shows in some spots.) Least I got some pixel art practice in.

Fourth attack was another Robot Master design, because of course I like to draw those. I played a little with her rendering, sharing colors for the highlights and shadows.

Third attack was a case of a simple design with a really fun idea behind him. The bendy root arms let me sorta get loose and make more twisty, curvy lines.

I found Petrhum early on through the random OC button, and I regret not attacking more of those.

Bumping some of my older posts since they didn't get much traction. Hidden by being part of a thread, I think.
Attack #2. Wanted to get one Dofus OC in there. This was a fun one because the ref sheet was just the bust upwards and a helpful text description, so I got to fill in some blanks.

Healthy reminder for #MegaManDO contestants that a design doesn't have to be well-drawn to be winning material. Just put a good idea behind it.

Unexpected art commission for Dāku (just the RM drawing). Should ring a bell for anyone who remembers my older 1.5-styled Mega Man 42 fanart.

Considering opening up commissions in the future sometime...

Lowkey always wanted to draw Tom and Alex. Been a while since I "reinterpreted" more Ratboy designs, but I like to think I'm getting better. #ratboygenius

I am long overdue for making some #deltarune fan art.

Making key art of my OCs, starting with Molecule Man.
Wanted the rendering to look sufficiently Mega Man without being constrained to one particular official style.

Last n simplest attack but prolly my personal favorite, an attack for @adhoclavaman.bsky.social . I am a simple man n when I see characters with Big Symmetrical Head Thing I foam at the mouth a little bit

I'll go head n do another alt text ramble on this one as well but it prolly won't be as long 🧵

Gonna make a thread of my other attacks now that Artfight has more or less concluded.
My first attack. Sam's designs are peak. #artfight

Finished spriting my sillies. The lineup was stuck at 6 bosses for a while until I found some ways to close the weakness chain.

Not every design is perfect, but they're consistent and help each other stand out. They're all NES accurate too (though Drain Man would flicker a little).

God, I have so many OCs I need to add or update... I'll probably be too busy attacking in the meantime. But, uh, feel free to hit me anyway! Can't guarantee a revenge, though.

One more fangame tileset remake. Except I went a little overboard and hacked a whole level. #megamanY+1

Once in a while I remake MM (fangame) tilesets, for fun. Glue Man's stage is already close to NES limitations, so accuracy didn't pose much of an issue. Just polished it up. Exploring palette-switching for the background and working in one color was a nice exercise.

I don't like begging people to remember that, we're so used to twitter sharing things we liked, but that doesn't work here.

If people don't hit the reblog button, it can be a death sentence to beginner artists.

Leaving a comment also helps.

Not saying this for me, but for the community as a whole
