Even worse than the constant lovely art is the fact that all the canon guys have the typical A-shape while all the women are t&a without even the big hands/feet. This may well also be canon but Mega Man is a franchise I know little about so I am still ensuring my displeasure is known!

The 6 have Robobro Adon, RoboBro Charlie, RoboBro Guile and maybe Robro Piccolo. Sweet.

Also art obviously influenced by Slayers

I know Das Boo probably gets this an annoying number of times AND that I've asked this question some years past but what art program do you use, DB?

Sorry, I was asleep as hell. Clip Studio Paint! It's fantastic and a one-time friggin' purchase, ADOBE.

Besides being really bad I've got a few theories as to why there's so much tonal shifting and every issue seeming to skip very important stuff
1. The artists are only given the vaguest of outlines as to what the story is for the issue and have to fill in the rest themselves, then when the final art comes in the writers have to make up a new story that fits the art they got
2. They're on a tight enough budget and schedule there actually are missing issues. Because they were offering pocket change to students someone who was supposed to draw some of those battles we skipped flaked or were fired -just like princess's writer. There could've also been other editorial gently caress ups like telling an artist they had 2 more pages than they really did.

It was funny seeing stuff like X being chained to the wall in the issue that was totally inspired by the giant feet and hands late 90's more cartoony western comics like cyberfrog, the maxx, and Impulse, then magically part of the betrayers in the next issue.

I adore Sai, too! I managed to color someone's entire comic in it and despite the 10kX10k canvas limit biting my rear end, it turned out great!

My dude, I love your style. I definitively know you're Applewhite by it. And your comedy is :discourse:!

In *MY* script the camera would pull back to reveal CAPTAIN N, THE GAME MASTER and SHORT-PERSON MEGAMAN. There would be some monologuing and then N WOULD DRAMATICALLY PULL BACK HIS JACKET TO REVEAL ANOTHER LETTERMAN'S JACKET WITH THE WILY "W" ON IT.

As a TRUE INDIE e-comics artist, with no formal training aside what I self-learned from AOL RP Anime chatrooms and library-copies of USA Animerica magazine, I :downswords:

I would introduce a group called the Mega Busters but at a crucial moment they would flip their insignia upside-down and NOW IT'S A 'W'

idk if they are anti-wily or MM yet

Megaman's hands are more expressive than his face.
Like, this artist must've heard that drawing hands is the hardest part of human anatomy and decided to master the craft and nothing else.

it was never an N to begin with, it was a W with the top part folded over a little bit

That feels like a very 90s thing, and to be honest, it doesn't seem like the worst idea to start from. Hands are expressive.

For a second I thought that was a Smash Bros render. Reminded that, with Simon, there were jokes that Smash Ultimate is a long-awaited Captain N reunion.

Though is it just me, or is Captain N basically Marty McFly?
