I had a busy day, and I know it's late, and I appreciate all the feedback so far, and well, since he's been mentioned...

Posted Image

The monster in white himself! This is my first minorly CG'ed pic, as I figured out how to clean it up a little bit, and digitally blurred some parts to reflect the semi-transparent nature of his coat.

An I apparently never mentioned that his scythe is red. Huh. I meant to. I really did.

Posted Image

And as is apparently the trend, with one serious picture comes a cutesy picture.

This one is a Bar pic, the first one I've ever done without using sprites. I tried to wedge a lot of people in, and I think it came out a little cluttered. Especially since Shadowman shows up twice... Sorta.

And, well, because I'm a sucker, and because I have this scanned in anyway, and since I like it...

Posted Image

This image is actually about a year old, based on an original setting of mine for a Megaman Alternate Universe game called Megaman: Dark Blue. In this twisted setting where Dr. Light is the villain and Wily is the good guy, THIS particular robot is a killer who lives for the thrill of chasing down his prey. As such, his original stage was a park where dead children litter the area, making for one of the most distinctly disturbing segments in the whole game.

I have a bunch of these, but in the interets of giving you all something to look forward to, I'll only post one at a time along with some newer stuff, so as not to bore you.

So that's what else you were working on. I already told you the Mesmerman pic is awesome. But I really like the bar pic too. It is cute. ^^

No chibis this time, just some more Dark Blue stuff...

Posted Image

Look familiar? This is a much, much, MUCH more recent rendition of Khanaro the Slaughter, formerly known as Slicer Khan. He's not really all that different, aside from his snazzy new name...

Posted ImagePosted Image

A side-by-side compairson of Grave Reverend/ Bascilla the Tomb, a robot of Dr. Light's in Dark Blue with a talent for raising the dead. The newer version has a pet Skull Spider, a minor enemy with a plasma gun in its mouth. Her Master Weapon is pretty cool when Megaman gets his hands on it, but I'll save the details for a different time.

Nice pic of Mesmerman. I always liked the metal things where his joints are suppose to be. The scythe is an awsome design too.

Hey... is that me on the bar? It looks like Blademan talking to a dummy replacement of Shadowman? Whatever happened to Holograms? XD.

Khanaro seems pretty badass, I want to hear more about this AU game thingy.

What the...? Is that a...? Girl Bass?

I've said this over on AIM a couple of times as it stands, but I'll say it again.

I love your artwork, Hardman. Always have.

Mesmerman is sufficiently creepy (badass scythe), and seein' the Megaman: Dark Blue popping up again is always a treat.

Your style honestly reminds me of the official art style, with a bit of your own flair thrown in. With the exception of the Dark Blue guys (and gals), and the chibis, of course.

I love the chibis, by the way.

Let me just say this thread was full of pleasant surprises. Not only did you do a Burstgirl drawing (thank you! ^_^) but your police bot is numbered #389... just like one of the bots in my journal! I'm starting to wonder if that was intentional, or pure awesome coincidence. XD

These are great drawings all in all. I like your Cutman redesign. And the second Bright Babe one made me laugh... and hey, the little Hardman "emoticon" contributed. XD And great pic of Mez as well... I'm a sucker for scythes. ^o^

Well, to make up for the lack of cute in the last post (I got hate mail about that! I'm prouda me! The Chibi stuff, I mean, not the lack thereof...) I have a double shot of Chibispressothis time... but first...

Posted Image

CRAZYCRAZYCRAZYCRAZYCRAZYCRAZYCRAZYCRAZY

Ahem.

Moving on now.

Posted Image

No, I'm not starting a mini-chibi-spoof-comic-thing (yet). I just wanted to Chibi these two out and see what happened.

This image is currently being CG'ed by Crystalgirl, and will probably find a more permanent home in my signature soon...

Posted Image


And this is a classic return to form in the form of some more random chibi sillyness. Enjoy!

So, around about close-to-4 pages of this... I should start taking requests. PMs only for that, tho. My PM box is lonely... aside from the hate mail.

I love all the chibi pictures you draw. It's nice to see everyone portrayed as cute every once in a while rather than looking badass..... not that there is anything wrong with badass, just it's good to see something different once and a while

I was listening to Weird Al when the inspiration for this hit me. Specifically, the song 'Jerry Springer', and it got me thinking...

So, I give you, with only the barest amount of pride, Jerry Springman.

Wait, wait, wait, two Hardman pics? In a thread by *gasp* Hardman? What the hell is going on here???

Well, actually, this isn't mine. This picture was a gift from Rai/Snake during the Con. Yes, I'm afraid you all just got gypped, and I did no actual work aside from wrestling this monster into my scanner. Gotcha.

A few things to note: This picture was drawn DURING one of the 'how big IS Hardman' discussions, since we were all kind of confused there (I believe we all finally agreed on close to 10 ft. in the end...) so Topman isn't abnormally short, it's just size disparity. Also, Hardman having treads was an idea I had to give the big guy some extra mobility, and, while the look on his face as he tears along is priceless, I have enough fun having rocket hands.

I'll draw the next picture that shows up. Honest.

Again, that last picture was Raijin's/Snakeman's. I didn't draw that. GOD I only wish I could do that well. Nope. All Rai's doing. I just had it and scanned it in.

On a different, less touchy note, Crystalgirl finished CG-ing up the Business of Mischief picture, and it has noticable joined my signature. Hers as well, I think...

SPARTA! [/terrible movie reference]

Silliness aside, yes, the chibis are happily nestled in my signature, with a link back to this thread. I had far too much fun CGing Mesmerman and imaging WHY he's so happy.
"I just stomped on a weasel! : D" I've been listening to too much Weird Al lately.

I love the Jerry Springman show bit.... he looks so nonchalant as Needle tries to mutilate Gaunts.

Hardman with a bowtie and stubble still makes me smile a bunch.

Man, you're drawing up a storm almost as much as you can write up a storm. Nice to see the Hard Tank pic too, although it scanned in looking even messier than I remember it. I didn't really draw any of the con pics with the intention of getting them scanned eventually, I probably would have tried to clean them up more if I did. Well, the facial expressions of both Hard and Top came through fine, so it's not all bad.

I believe the "second Shadowman" in the Springman audience is Starman.

Request? Gaderham!

Drawn with Topman for size compairison.

Posted Image

This guy is one of the weirdest thing I've EVER drawn. Also, a terrible, terrible concept. Part of the Dark Blue series, he basically existed o hang out and snipe people. Since then, I've remade him into two seperate robots, one of which you've seen (Felaurdo) and one of which I actually haven't drawn yet (Dulran). Grappler was funny mostly because he didn't have legs, tho...

Posted Image

Again, another relic of the Dark Blue script, this chick has obvious references to the EXE version of Punk. Her ability is almost exclusively centered on the power of graffitti (her buster arm is a spary can) and one of her more common attacks was the power to spray a hole on the ground that a Wannana (those annoying mouth things from Hardman's stage) would pop out of and attack. The idea of her has since been scrapped, but some of her design idea lived on in Felaurdo.

And THIS is a pic that was a gift to me from the lovely living floorlamp, Brightbabe of the Cossack Comerades, by way of saying thanks for the earlier Brightbabe pictures in the thread. Also, I think she felt bad for ranting a few times when we talked, but I'm not sure about that.

Many thanks, Bright!

This would be a request from Snipe Anteater, done in the form of the old Technical Readout: 20XX thread with Cut, Snipe, Snake, Launch, and Hard all around the table discussing schematics. Well, some are discussing, and others are falling asleep.

On a side note, I'm getting close to this thread being viewed 1000 times! I know, it isn't REALLY an accomplishment, but it'll make me happy. Heck, this silly little art thread gets more traffic than some of my more serious writing...

Hah! Technical Readout thread... I kinda miss that. But not really, since I had no idea what was going on. It was funny watching you and Rich banter though. (I wanna give Chibi Hardy a pillow and blanket in that pic...)

General Cutman's a meany face. Poor Maks and his icecream.

Gaderham makes Topman look tall. This makes me giggle.

Roller Punk always stood out as a fun design to me. Darn you for scrapping her! Darn you! -shakes fist in an unthreatening manner-

Heh. That's so accurate, too. I remember you'd disappear from that thread for weeks at a time, and usually got mad when we moved on to the next set of RMs before you had a chance. :P

You're really a great artist, Hard. Keep up the good work.

Well, as of my writing this post, there have been 1,001 views on the thread! Making this one of the most popular ventures I've ever been involved in. And what popularity! Today, I'm doing THREE requests!

Our first request comes from my partner in crime (no, not my partner in slaughter, just crime) Crystalgirl!

Posted Image

Well, she asked for a Crystalgirl picture, and it occured to me only after I started drawing that I have literally NO idea what she looks like anymore. Really. I know she got all SA'ed up, but past that I have nothing. So I gave her a bit more personal makeover, with the most drastic change being the long ponytail with the weighted crystal end. No idea what her powers and abilities are, but damn, if she ain't fine!

Well, okay, she isn't, but that's more of a failure on my part as an artist than anything else. I told you I can't draw women...

Posted Image

My second request of the day came from Enigma, who is also Avalanche Yeti (or Awesomelanche, if he's to be believed). So I did up a Yeti picture, almost entirely from a reference picture that was too small for any humanbeing to really be able to look at. I made some minor changes mostly to make him look like less of a doofus (no offense, man) but aside from that, I tried to get it right.

Posted Image

And our last picture this time around is a request from the little gremlin we all know as Zapper, who requested this as a way to cheer up our resident Skullman, Zymeth. Well, she wanted a scene of absolute horror to go along with a horrified Toadgal and Brightbabe, and the innocent expression and saying are a mere bonus!

3 requests? Madness, I say! But this is Hardman's Art Thread, and I aim ta please.
