The MS-DOS versions of Mega Man and Mega Man 3 are notorious for their peculiar Robot Master lineup; an odd-ball rogue gallery straight out of the lower depths of DeviantArt. But with the right people holding the pen, these unusual robots may at last have their due.
AndroidArts takes on Dyna Man and Dyna Man:
More Megaman. Approaching these designs more as posable action figures / toys. pic.twitter.com/0lub6XU7iF— Arne (@AndroidArts) August 17, 2015
Simon S. Andersen has a go, too:
Like what you see? Give these guys a retweet or a favorite!This is what I'm dealing with. This was a lisenced Capcom game. I've cut Blade- and Oil man since Capcom redid them. pic.twitter.com/xCoxpgVkV8— Simon S. Andersen (@snakepixel) August 16, 2015
Quick design sketches of the lineup so far, keeping what sticks. Shapes are simple to read on the small sprites. pic.twitter.com/VHBFqH8viY— Simon S. Andersen (@snakepixel) August 16, 2015
Boom goes the Dynaman. (I'll probably be tweaking this guy a lot. The original's design didn't have much.) pic.twitter.com/q7T3fyeUUh— Simon S. Andersen (@snakepixel) August 16, 2015
As he was originally Bubbleman rippoff, I focused more on sound and speed. Still needs work, but its a start. pic.twitter.com/xlz6f37jUX— Simon S. Andersen (@snakepixel) August 16, 2015
Waveman was an Airman reskin, and clashed with Voltman's shape. I modeled him after a buoy to fit the wave theme. pic.twitter.com/2v1ygq1ulk— Simon S. Andersen (@snakepixel) August 17, 2015
To avoid having two electric bosses, and since bits are drill parts, I themed him after oil extraction equiment. pic.twitter.com/0XIQDMJRC5— Simon S. Andersen (@snakepixel) August 17, 2015
Simon's art reminds me of Andrew Dickman's style in all the right ways and I really dig his original takes on the PC Robot Masters! I'd love to see someone whip up some sprites of these guys. Doubly-so, complete sprites sheets!
ReplyDeleteShark Man is cool! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a maverick boss not a Robot Master.
DeleteThe DOS version is a horrible game and I played for a briefly then deleted it immediately a long time ago. UGH!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, artists for those reimagine robot masters are neat, thought!
Noticing Dyna Man's 6 things on his chest and the shoulders ? The 2nd picture shown only 5 of them instead. A missing or he simple forgot to adding one more. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHey rockman-corner, if you are a member of twitter.. I m not a member of twitter. I don't like twitter, thought. Can you tell this creator to check out Dyna Man's 6 things on his chest because the picture show only 5 of things on the 2nd picture. Maybe he didn't noticed it. I am surprised that nobody noticed it.
DeleteYeah! Badass Shark Man!! I like his designs!!
ReplyDeleteYeah.. he is cool but I would get rid of fins on his two forearms, thought.
DeleteI want to see more of fan made Robot Masters. I absolutely adored them!
ReplyDeleteThere was one for VoltMan made by GeckoYamori that was styled like Spark Man's song, I haven't been able to find it again though...
DeleteWave Man... we have him in Megaman 5... or is it 6?
ReplyDeleteYeah, he was in Megaman 5. So, no.. he is talking about PC version and not NES version. Did you know that Capcom of USA created a bad PC version called Wave Man in Megaman 1 PC too? Check the Google about it.The creator at twitter wants to created the better appearance of PC comparison version.
