Description //WARNING, THIS COMMENT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS XDD//

OMG XDD

I haven't been able to get very many Mega Man comics since Archie started doing them *emo corner*, but my brother made sure to bring me the issue where they crossover with Sonic! I almost missed it, I can't believe it! I would have cried for weeks @m@;; //LOL//

But yeah, I also haven't gotten to read much of the MegaMan comic cuz I keep getting depressed when I read it. Cuz.. okay, you guys know how I'm such a nit-pick about my own comics? I KEEP SEEING ERRORS IN THEIRS... like, not the story (because I haven't seen most of it lol), but the art... TEH ARTZ, MAHHHHNNNNN--!!!!

And when I saw "Shadow Man"... I was just like "WTF?" XD I will admit, when you draw something, you see in more depth what it is, and it isn't as ridiculous as I was originally thinking it was, but... still... //I just realized I misspelled ridiculous in the picture xD The computer correcte my spelling while typing lol//
My first thought was "They're trying too hard... to make him look all MegaMan-y..." and the white part on his face.. just... WTF? LOL
Also, don't they know there's already a "Shadow Man"? xD That's gotta be confusing lol

Anyway, I like how this picture came out. As you can see, I got lazy and made a random SFX background lol. I'm thinking about sending this to Archie, cuz, while I do keep finding myself to be too cynical about the comics, I'm really excited about this crossover xD Ah, I think this may be my official style for a while.. at least for colored stuff lol. //my style changes too randomly lol//

But I'mma go ahead and nit-pick a few more things xD

Why are Wily and Robotnick so similar? Like, why do they get along so well? And when they fight about the name of something, they get over it easily enough... It feels odd, somehow...
Is Bass actually obedient in this series? Or is he just a little more obedient than he normally is? xD //I'm pretty sure he doesn't normally take orders from Wily often lol//
Okay, I know CopyMan is from the remake of the original game (I'm pretty sure, anyway?), but wasn't Bass supposed to be the "evil Megaman"? He was designed based off him and all. But, I guess he isn't really "evil", he's an anti-hero xD Or is he, in the comic? O.o I found out I could order all the issues I missed, and I plan on doing that soon and going on a comic-reading binge.
When I first saw "Tails Man", I was like "WTF, TAILS MAN?! Why not just bring in the Tails Doll?" until I realized it was Tails, Roboticized, and I was like "oh, okay. ... HE'S SO CUTE!!! XDD" LOL

Also, doesn't it seem odd that the Sonic Universe cover is more video-game-esque? I mean, I know Sonic is a videogame, but just the style of it seems more "MegaMan" to me.
And on the MegaMan cover.. WHY THE FUCK IS MEGAMAN'S HALF ALL WHITED-OUT?! I mean, seriously, it's like he's hiding in a fog or something!! And then they have that "20 years of Sonic Comics" logo thing on Megaman's side, and I'm just sitting there thinking, "What, did the covers get swapped or something?!"
EDIT: My brother informed me it was like that because it was a variant cover =w= lol. The other variant was with Sonic all whited-out, and the normal was them both... normal. lol.

I just noticed that the MegaMan side says "Part One", while the Sonic side says "Part Two".
But they're running in separate comics, so aren't they both "Part One"?
Or is that a common gimmick in comic book companies to have one comic have half the parts and the other comic have the other half?

LOL, but anyway, I really am hyped about this. I mean, c'mon, it's gonna be 12 issues! It's GOTTA be freaking epic! Though, if they're doing all this stuff so soon, what are they going to do mid-way through the arc...? Hm...
Aha, this is getting me excited. This, plus the Bakuman I finally got to read also, I'm all hiped up and ready to go all workaholic mode xDD
Though I need to find a place to hide when people won't leave me alone long enough to make anything....

BUT WOO, OMG!!!
LOL

The crossover atually runs through three series: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Universe and Mega Man. There's a free preview version available that includes the complete run down of issues carrying which part of the storyline, but each cover also tells you which part of it it is. I think when the big boys do important crossover like that it's actually way more confusing, so kudos on Archie Comics. I recommand you just get them on Comixology to make it easy to keep track.

Why'd you pick Ariga style Shadow Man? Cause the others could just as easily snark back that he looks freaking stoned in that version. Granted I actually hate Ariga Shadow Man with a passion...

I think the comics are fine. They're not going to be perfect. Nobody's art is going to be.

SakuraYabuki In reply to Lilac-Vrt-Olligoci [2013-05-28 18:54:07 +0000 UTC]

Because he's the one I had a reference of at the time
And cuz I love Ariga's designs
I really love Ariga Shadow Man D: Though that's less to do with the design and more to do with how he was presented in the comic. Though he doesn't look "stoned" to me...

Uhm, I'm not really sure what you're getting at with "others could just as easily snark back", cuz it was actually just to poke fun at Shadow's "Roboticized Master" name, not about the design. Though the design is also very stupid xD I just thought that ShadowMan might get mad and insult him.

I'm not really saying that the comics should be perfect. But, for a long time I was obsessed with making my art perfect... but I finally realized there's no such thing as "perfect art" because there's just far too many different ways of representing something that no one way could be considered perfect. But, since I spent so much time trying to be perfect, I've gotten to where I start nit-picking other people's comics when I notice mistakes. It... it's actually pretty annoying... =w=;; It makes it difficult to enjoy things aha;;

I hate Ariga Shadow Man's personality. I've done enough research on ninjutsu to realize he's pathetic and acts more like a Samurai than anything else trying to kill himself (which is completely against ninjutsu). He's too serious as well and doesn't act anything like how a ninja or someone of espionage should be.

I dunno, nit picking can be okay, but we're talking about Archie and professional comics that come out once a month, who have a time limit on what they can do. Even Herms has to admit he has assistants who will flat color for him depending on how much time he has. Compare that to some of us who actually have time to spend over three hours trying to perfect one tiny thing.

Woa, woa, woa, waoh-
Hold on a sec.

Just so we're on the same page...
Did you come here to argue with me?

Cuz really I have no interest in that.
I can bring up some facts and explinations, I can counter-argue your assessments with my knowledge of the comic industries and everything... but seriously. Look.. just look.
I drew Ariga Shadow Man. I like him.
I like Archie Comics, I'm not saying they're bad.
I like BOTH comics.
I wanna make sure we're on the same page here, cuz you kinda got this "Archie vs Ariga" vibe goin' on here. I've been in internet arguments before, and even when I win they're not plesant. I guess I just don't like debates...

Also, I'm still waiting for what power MegaMan gets from Shadowman? after the fight.

I did a quick doodle of Robot Master Shadowman's response to Shadow Hedgie Man's design myself (on tumblr), but yours is way better than mine. Thus far, Rose Woman's design is the one I like best in the comics.

I'm pretty sure they're already aware of the ninja Shadowman in the series. Now there's two Shadowmen in the crossover. No different from two people born with the same name, lol.

Haha, I love the bromance of Wily and Eggman! I love to see more of that. And I actually enjoyed Sonic Universe's cover since they took that from Marvel vs. Capcom (I actually had that character select music play in my head whenever I look at the cover XD).

OMG REALLY?!
//goes to spam your tumblr account with s//
LOL I think your idea is more fitting, even if mine is fancier or whatever
I like Tails Man's design the most, but maybe that's because I saw it first? lol
I also really like Rose Woman's design
//Also thinking about making a silly comic where Plant Man hears about a new Robot(icized) Master named Rose Woman, and goes off in search of her because he's like "OMG MY SOULMATE!!" LOL//

lololololol But since it's Dr. Wily's, you'd think he wouldn't want to repeat the name? xD Although, he did refer to Tails Man saying "It's not one of mine, anyway", so w/e lol

LOLOLOLOLOL Its so crazy xDD At first, I kept thinking "Okay.. eventually they're gonna turn on each other and hate each other" but IDK after seeing your comics on Tumblah, I'm just like, "....yeah, they're bff's now xDD"
Ohhh, so that's what its from! I don't think I ever got to play that... Still, I had a feeling it was more MegaMan oriented xD

I'm sure when all their plans start to go flop, there will be some high tension between the two, but even besties fight once in a while, right? XD

LoL, yeah, the cover is more Megaman (or rather, just Capcom in general) oriented. It's still a nice little throw-in for those who've played the game, so it made me pretty happy. ^^

Dont get me wrong, I HATE Shadow as its because of him I think is why the Sonic franchise fell so low but his overall design is good.
As this yeah it fails hard, the others look fine but Shadow looks very silly.

Ahh.. honestly, I liked him in the first game he was in. The whole "keep repeating yourself having amnesia over and over" and the swearing and all that random stuff... not so great. But, in his debut, he was great. And it was heart-wrenching, his story with Maria and the ARC. And at the end, when he fell out in space.. and ... yknow obviously had to have died... aha;;... I just realized, I don't know why they kept him after that... (Yes I do, because of fangirls and marketing >>)

ANYWAY
Yeah, lol "Shadow Man" is indeed silly looking xD

I actually like most of the Robot Master designs, though Most of the "ridiculousness" in their desins comes from them actually being built to perform a certain task, mandating that they can't just look perfectly normal or whatever.
And anyway, it's less about the fact that Shadow Man looks ridiculous in and of himself, but more that he looks so ridiculous he doesn't even fit in lol He just doesn't seem structured right.
But, that's all IMHO.

xD LOL I am actually lame enough to make a pun like that~
Though, to be honest, in English, I don't even know why the spelling is required. Like, ridiculous, rediculous, you still know what the word is. I actually misspell some words on purpose just cuz I prefer them that way lol
Like... I go back and forth between gray and grey
I say suprized instead of surprised.
Cuz, I mean, Americans, Britans, Canadians.. uh.. Australians, lol. We all seem to spell everything different anyway, so I'm pretty sure there isn't actually a "correct" way to spell something in English lol. (ex, grey is American, gray is British lol I think.. I may have gotten it backwards lolol)
And also how in America, the teachers get mad if you say "learnt", but that's the correct way to say it in England, lol

Anyway
