UGAC - Megaman - ~Aero~

Heya,

Thought this competition sounded really cool, so I thought I’d finally leave my lurking-ness behind. So forgive me for any cgtalk usage noobness that may occur :smiley:

I’ve got a rough idea for my character but am still deciding on abilities & moves. I’ll post more when I’ve got some sketches done.

The character I’ll be working on is Venom Man.

See you later,
~Aero~

Finally got round to working on the concept - here’s a sketch of the character:

His spikes are venomous and he can shoot the gooey blobs in his hands at enemies to sedate them.

I’m working on his colour scheme now but it’s proving massively annoying :shrug: I was thinking something along the lines of wasps and bees, but please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Any C&C would be appreciated loads.

There’s got to be some venomous snakes or other animals that have interesting color schemes that you could draw from…isn’t there one with black, red and white stripes?

Thanks for the suggestion :slight_smile: I looked at some snakes and I think the one you were referring to is the Coral Snake which is quite cool. I couldn’t get it to look right on my character tho :sad: So I decided to go for a more stereotypical venomous look and this is what I came up with:

Thats a cool design. unfortunately some parts, mostly the face, just don’t look very Mega Man Robot Master like. You can keep animalistic parts to it, just the face needs a bit work. Perfect examples are Snake Man and Toad Man (since they are the only 2 robot masters based on actual animals):

See he’s a Man but has some Snake parts on him.
Toad Man just has the general shape of a toad. Your color scheme is good, just keep playing around with his parts and keep working on it :smiley: Also another thing that seems a bit off are his claws. If you want him to shoot blobs of poison, just turn one of his hands into a typical buster (just add some spikes or something to make it unique). His other hand can be less distorted but keep the claws. Your character has much potencial, just keep at it and I’m sure it will look good :wink:

Yay - thank you so much for your advice :slight_smile: Those are definitely changes I’ll be working on now. I was thinking something was lacking and I was worried about the head - so it’s really nice to get my doubts confirmed so I can get redesigning. Hopefully I’ll have a new version up one of the coming days.
