Ever since I heard that Mega Man was going to be in the new Super Smash Bros., I've kinda gone through a phase of being obsessed with Mega Man a little bit. I really wanted to draw some Robot Masters in my style, so I did! I actually drew the bosses from Mega Man 1 like 2 years ago, but I never finished/uploaded those.



Flash Man: Whenever I thought about what he should look like, I just kept picturing his helmet looking like a camera flash. So I thought it would be cool if his whole body looked like it was made from camera parts and flashbulbs, old and new.

Air Man: The design he was going to have in that Mega Man online game was pretty much perfect, so I didn't really know what else to do. I kept looking at plane engines, and then I thought it would be cool if he had plane wings and a tail too. (You can't really see them, but still...)

Metal Man: I wanted to have four of the robot masters look like they were very obviously robotic, and have four of them look like they could be people in suits. So I took apart Metal Man's midsection and made it more skeletal, since he was one of the more "all-robot" ones.

Wood Man: My whole goal with him was to make him actually look huge and tough and not look like an idiot. I also decided to add his leaf shield to his back, but I think it came out sort of looking like ears.

Bubble Man: He was actually one of my favorites to draw, but I don't have much to say about him.

Heat Man: I really wanted to play up the "lighter" gimmick he has, so I made his head look like the inside of a lighter, and I also thought it would be funny to make his arm cannon one of those big gun-shaped lighters.

Quick Man: It's totally because of the boomerangs, but I really wanted him to look like a futuristic Aboriginal warrior. Instead of giving him upper-body armor, I just tried to make Aborigine-like markings on his body. I totally failed at it, but that's what I was going for.

Crash Man: I don't like Crash Man. I don't care about Crash Man. He is boring. I just wanted to draw him and get it over with.

Alien: Dr. Wily's alien hologram was really fun to draw. I don't know why, but when I looked at the character's exposed ribs, I kept picturing him as being bloody and horrific and having his organs hanging out. ...I'm kinda messed up, aren't I?



I have several problems with this picture. One, I don't think these are all that creative.

2, I feel like all of my work lately has felt really lifeless and dead. I feel like all of my characters just look like stiff statues and have no energy in them. (I mean, I know these guys are robots, but still.) But either way, this was the first thing in a while that I really WANTED to draw, so I hope you guys like it.
