Okay, technically centaur...

But, like, that's part horse so it still counts, right?

Zero: ...Why do always have to do stuff like this?

Me: ...*shrugs*

Zero from Megaman X as a centaur lying on the floor because he tripped. His head is propped up in his right hand as he taps the ground in annoyance with his index finger on the left. He has an expression of irritation due to the artist's shenanigans.

Finally finished companion piece to my fic "Running Hot" (archiveofourown.org/works/6389).

Descript in comments. :)

Finished #MegaMan 8 and 9 today for the first time basically since release. I liked 8 a lot more than I remembered. Having a dedicated button for special weapons and refilling weapons on death meant I used them liberally and experimented a lot more than I usually would. It's got a lot going for it and a lot of love seems to have gone in. It isn't perfect and I wish some of the gimmicks had been taken further, but overall I'd rate it pretty high.

Looking at the gallery, I also see that Protoman apparently wears sunglasses under his helmet.

As for MM9, I don't get this gane's reputation. I found it incredibly easy but maybe it is just difficult in a way that makes sense to me. (It feels like MM5, minus the slide and charge shot. It even has the same button pattern as Wave Man's stage!)

Playing the two together is interesting; MM8 looked forward and tried many new ideas; MM9 looks backward, even eschewing sliding and quick weapon switching. Both games show a lot of passion and try really hard. #rockman #psx #capcom

Finished #MegaMan 7. Many years ago, I remember practicing with an emulator and being able to dodge the final boss consistently. That muscle memory is totally gone, but 4 E-tanks and an S-tank was sufficent!

This game is such a mixed bag and feels unfinished. Parts of it feel poorly balanced, and I don't see the reason for having 2 sets of 4 robot masters instead of just making all of them available. And Mega Man is just slightly too big.

That said, there are lots of genuinely fun and cool parts, and it is fun to learn some of the boss patterns. Great music too, especially those credits 💀 + 🔥 = 🎶

Contest is done on my end, may as well have her out and about.

Give a warm welcome to Candy Woman, my entry for the MegaMan 12 RM contest, and if Capcom ain't using her, I sure as heck will.

j8-bit asked me for help with their #balatro mod, so I made 3 cards for it.

I like making stuff in this style, honestly. I should revisit this style later, I suppose.

DR. KATHARINE CURIE. PERFECTIONISM PERSONIFIED.
#MegaMan #Rockman #maehart

Spending most of her life looking up to Dr. Light's work,
Dr. Curie had graduated from the Robot Institute of Technology,
becoming an archivist for the World Robot Aliance.

Her work in the WRA allowed her to study the works of Dr. Light
and Dr. Wily, spending several sleepless nights on understanding
their designs, interested in Dr. Light's concept of a "robot with a soul."

She now works at Light Labs, providing repairs for robots all over the world. This after she had shown her capacity to imitate Dr. Light's work by creating Pulse.

Before leaving the WRA, Dr. Curie has won the Scientific Achievement Award and the Silver Award at the LIT Manual Design Contest.

Heyo! I'm back, I had to take some time out to figure out drawing in #Linux and #FireAlpaca since I lost my main art program.

I think I got it, but its still a learning process.

I was gonna set up a scene like I normally do, but technical problems prevent me from doing so. Luckily, I had plenty of settings I've done before as back-ups.

Oh hey, finally, the (now 2nd to last) 3D model for my group. Idol is here!

I also made models for one of her siblings, her pet and her bike while I was at it.

(I have to reintroduce these gals every so often)

For #vgmwednesday here is the Wily Fortress theme from #MegaMan #RockMan 6. I hear allusions to the famous Wily stage theme from Mega Man 2 in this; someone with a better ear can probably explain why.

I think #MegaMan11 has finally grown on me (at least, I no longer think it's the worst).

+ The boss weapons are a lot of fun and feel very powerful compared to charged shots--its probably the only game I use weapons frequently
+ I almost never use the power gear or double gear; I use time gear all the, uh, time though.
+ Gear Fortress 1 is one of the hardest stages in the series
+ The stages are way, way, way too long and probably contribute to the game feeling harder/tiring
+ The music has grown on me. They maybe sound a bit interchangeable, but I find most of the tracks pretty catchy. I don't get why people complain about it.
+ The story, voice acting, and dialog is genuinely awesome and hilarious. Wily's secret weapon at the end is great, as are his skull jammies
+ I love the art style, but the particle effects make things hard to discern for me
