Artist's Comments

Hey guys!

Here's my filled-out version of my Mega Man Meme (the blank version of which can be found here: [link] in my scraps). I hope you like reading through it!

I worked on filling this out on and off for about two weeks now. I wanted to post this and the blank version together so I could set some degree of an example. Believe me, though, with my inactivity lately, I was tempted to just post the blank one and "get to this one later" (psh, yeah, that'd never happen and we all know it). Glad I finished it. I had so much fun filling it out!

And for what it's worth, I'm absolutely in love with my interpretation of Mega Man. He's so neat, I think! But my Knight Man feels a bit over-designed. Oh well, these things happen.

And I must restate this in my comments: Roll is so hardcore. I gave her a beam sword in the spirit of Zero, since Proto Man - considered Zero's predecessor - doesn't actually have one, and the long blond hair just made it the obvious choice.

Feel free to grab the blank one and fill it out yourself. Like I said, just let me know that you filled it out so I can see it.

Full View and enjoy!

Haha this is really awesome. I can't imagine how long it might have taken hour-wise, since you already gave such a vague time in your description XD

I'm glad your endurance held true and you got done with filling it in.. we all know you wouldn't have done it otherwise. haha

I think my favorite part is the box art, thats really neat. And dare I say alittle different from what we're used to seeing from you. Did you plan on making it look different? Its like, more realistic or something..

Thanks!

The reason behind the semi-realistic box art is actually quite funny. The question asks the person filling out the meme to draw their own horrible Mega Man box art because the American box art for the first two Mega Man titles are often cited as being some of the worst in gaming history:

They dramatically misrepresent the games inside of the box, and that's why they are so funny. With my answer to that question, I wanted to do something painterly and sort of realistic-looking to capture the spirit of the atrocious box arts of yore. In fact, I did absolutely no sketching or preplanning for that answer because I wanted to ensure it was terrible: I just went with the flow. Thankfully, Mega Man came out looking like a 40-year-old alcoholic who had attended a costume party the night before and woke up with a hangover and an unenthusiastic expression, which is perfect! ;D

Omg.. those are.. horrible. -dryheave-

But it is really funny, you love that game so much and yet thats what they came up with. XD
If they ever did something that horrible for tombraider.. I'd cry.

Haha, you wanted him to look drunk and costume-esque? XD
Thats not very nice. But I strangely enjoyed your version.. maybe its the psycho in me again XD

I have nostalgic memories of that second game's terrible box art, but I never realized how much ass the art on the first box was. Awesome awesome meme BTW.

Oh my ;; too bad it's REALLY long time since I've played the games, I only played Megaman 2 and 3 on NES, I think. I remember Megaman 2 the best at least. Lately I've listened Megaman music a lot though, they are just very awesome.

Your style looks damn great on these *__*

Awsome. I like the robot masters and I love the bad box art! My brother will especially have fun with that panel if he fills this out...

I love the way you draw Megaman.
