Second attack. Making more art with backgrounds! OC by @timegearremix.bsky.social . artfight.net/attack/15113... #megaman
Gonna post my Artfight attacks as I make them, dunno how many I'll get around to this year. #wakfu OC by ThePotatoQueer. artfight.net/attack/14243...
Part 2 - the Cossack and Wily stages. Plus a little cutscene bonus I found... lavamantilerips.blogspot.com/2026/06/mega...
Mega Man 4 (pt. 2 - Endgame)
The Dr. Cossack plot is divisive, because it would essentially be rehashed for the subsequent NES games going forward. But even more intrigu...

For future reference, I will not be taking art requests unless they are paid commissions. I am busy with other obligations. People I don't know very well were demanding things from me over the start of the year; it is my responsibility to say no, but my mental health has been in the shitter since.
Now that DO voting has started, reposting my entry (in higher res). It was a nice creative exercise; I'm glad I stuck with the jar helmet. #megaman
In my ROMHack-playing phase. I like Tsukikuro's later hacks, specifically 3 Claw-- it has juuust the right amount of BS. Maybe the powerups are a bit generous, but it genuinely feels like it wants you to keep going.
As an Astro Boy fan, I get that it's the main anime Western Mega Man fans are familiar enough with to draw comparisons between. Skimming the different influences namedropped for Mega Man, though, the one the franchise would be the most different without would probably be Casshern. Just a PSA.
Lots to talk about with Mega Man 4's graphics! Starting with part 1. Retracing my steps, I also made some corrections to my rips for this game, so that's been updated as well. #megaman #megaman4 lavamantilerips.blogspot.com/2026/02/mega...
Mega Man 4 (pt. 1 - Robot Masters)
While there isn't as much of a graphical leap from 3 to 4 as there was from 2 to 3-- same MMC3 chip-- Mega Man 4 has a bit more cartridge me...

Fan designs of Anman and Nikuman, prototype Eddies from MM1. Anman would recover some energy and Nikuman would recover it fully. According to Kobun20, the "man" in their names is actually short for "manjลซ"-- they're named after food!
Now for some non-competition stuff. More Quilt Woman! Made new key art to be more consistent with Molecule Man. #MegaMan #RobotMaster
Also, damn, the 20 that got picked for voting are underwhelming. And I was worried my entry was vanilla, holy shit. I feel like even under the "themes" selected, there are more interesting designs out there. Like... x.com/Go_madare_/s... x.com/KarakatoDzo/... x.com/r8HiyzhXTV1G...

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. OC by @evilbeeman.bsky.social artfight.net/attack/12897...
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. artfight.net/attack/12869...
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. OC by TimelineJunkie. artfight.net/attack/12235...
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. OC by Zosonils. artfight.net/attack/10557...
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. OC by Sillby. artfight.net/attack/98962...
Bumping some of my older posts since they didn't get much traction. Hidden by being part of a thread, I think.
Lavaman ๐@adhoclavaman.bsky.social ยท last yr.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. OC by @artstarmi.bsky.social artfight.net/attack/97792...
