Megaboy? Cowman?

Another Megaman Legends piece... this time of Megaman himself.

The reason for the western themed bits is because one of the leading heroine choices is heavily cowboy/native american styled... If she wins, I can picture the plot/design of MML3 possibly taking a western influenced direction.

Which I wouldn't mind one bit.

Megaman Legends 3!!!

After a long 10 years, they've finally announced Megaman Legends 3. I totally loved the first two games, so I'm really looking forward to this one!

This time, they've decided to actively include the fans in the design process... so far in the form of polls, the first of which is to decide on the design for a new heroine who appears in the new game.
When the poll went up, they didn't have any information about the role of the character, so I voted on one purely based on the design. But later they revealed that rather than a player character she would be an "operator", a support character for a "digger" (which is what the player usually plays as).

Anyways, the character I chose isn't faring too well in the polls, so I decided to do a piece of fan art for her as a sort of consolation prize.

Heart Warming vs Global Warming

For some reason, as soon as the idea popped into my head, I was immediately compelled to draw it to completetion. Unfortunately the idea came to me at 1:40am.

Well I completed it. And then I fell asleep. Now that I'm awake, it's going up :)

Enjoy! ...And don't be afraid to turn off your car if you're going be idling for more than a minute or so!

I'll Miku Miku you

I've done a bunch of random characters recently, but apparently I've stopped drawing for so long I've lost the ability to draw human proportions, resulting in some hilariously mangled doodles. Rather than try that again, I went for something simpler, where I could hide details under enormous foreground objects, and since I wasn't happy with my previous Hatsune Miku, I did another one.

I liked the lineart for this... I need to try harder with hair, but the colouring is ok otherwise. The BG was fun to do.

Fly me to the moon, and put your hands up!

I've occasionally been drawing silly things again, so sure, might as well post some of them here... Or at least this one. Some of the others are intended for specific people (i.e. might contain in-jokes for my WoW guildies), so I don't know if it'd make sense to post those here.

Oh well. This one here's a silly combination of two new fandoms I acquired earlier this year, so I immediately had to draw it. =p

Retro Reimu

Long time no see. Been meaning to get back to this... as usual.

I started drawing something at random, then suddenly found myself channeling the 80s. And I found I was ok with that.

Lame Reimu lineart

Not really that lame, I just wanted to say that sometime.

Couldn't think of anything I could draw in an hour or so, so I just wound up doodling random poses and trying some different line thicknesses and weightings.

Filling in gaps with black looks good for some reason? Using thicker lines on focal points like the eyes and chin looks good too, but it looks pretty weird if all the other lines are uniform, so its not as easy to do as I thought.

I really need to settle on a style for eyes sometime...
