Rock and Roll: The Mega Man Adventure

Previously, I drew the Mega Man 3 Robot Masters ( [link] ) and showed off my combined concept of a final boss ( [link] ). There was a scale shot of Mega Man there, but other than that, no real sign of the main guy himself.

Here we have Rock, the Mega Man* and his sister Roll! I used the original 8-bit character model as inspiration for the faces, while making them both more robotic. While I gave Mega Man an updated version of his traditional look, I decided that it would be fun to give Roll a bit more playability, and transformed her into Mega Girl! (Because Mega Woman just doesn't sound as cute!)

Mega Girl is a more technical design based on the red dress Roll wore in most of her appearances. I was thinking of adding her blond hair, but with her red and black outfit, she might end up looking like a female Zero! Instead, her helmet's supposed to be yellow with green details to emulate her hair and the ribbon she usually wore.

If given the opportunity, I'd love to conceptualize a game that would use both of these characters, with partner-based gameplay. Sort of a Resident Evil 5 in a Mega Man universe setting, but with more platforming and even more shooting!

*For the uninitiated, Mega Man's original name was Rock Man. Obviously, the North American name change resulted in the loss of the musical reference in the characters' names!
