Lowkey always wanted to draw Tom and Alex. Been a while since I "reinterpreted" more Ratboy designs, but I like to think I'm getting better. #ratboygenius

I am long overdue for making some #deltarune fan art.

Making key art of my OCs, starting with Molecule Man.
Wanted the rendering to look sufficiently Mega Man without being constrained to one particular official style.

7th and last attack, trying to include a background. I still need to practice those-- I definitely overscoped-- but I like how some of the rendering turned out.

Attack #6. Another last-minute addition, or I would've fixed some proportions. I like the double-necked guitar.

@axneon.com and I first met when I drew his Ratboy OCs a long time ago, so this continues that trend.

A bit of a time gap between attacks 4 and 5 due to college. The designer for this one makes a lot of good OCs but unlists them frequently, so I made this attack in a bit of a rush (shows in some spots.) Least I got some pixel art practice in.

Fourth attack was another Robot Master design, because of course I like to draw those. I played a little with her rendering, sharing colors for the highlights and shadows.

Third attack was a case of a simple design with a really fun idea behind him. The bendy root arms let me sorta get loose and make more twisty, curvy lines.

I found Petrhum early on through the random OC button, and I regret not attacking more of those.

Attack #2. Wanted to get one Dofus OC in there. This was a fun one because the ref sheet was just the bust upwards and a helpful text description, so I got to fill in some blanks.

Finished spriting my sillies. The lineup was stuck at 6 bosses for a while until I found some ways to close the weakness chain.

Not every design is perfect, but they're consistent and help each other stand out. They're all NES accurate too (though Drain Man would flicker a little).

Ink Woman didn't translate to a NES sprite very well, but I have an idea on how to fix that...

My first attack. Sam's designs are peak. #artfight

For a mentor of mine, and his OC. Time flies.

Happy (very late) pride month. Gettin' back to art stuff, hopefully. #ratboygenius

Lastly, just to show that it works, and because I can, I ported the tiles to a couple screens of Mega Man 5.

Didn't realize animation is a separate attachment button and gifs only work there aaaaa

Once in a while I remake MM (fangame) tilesets, for fun. Glue Man's stage is already close to NES limitations, so accuracy didn't pose much of an issue. Just polished it up. Exploring palette-switching for the background and working in one color was a nice exercise.

I should also try fiddling with other interpretations sometime, Ratboy characters are basically the Rorschach blob test.
February 9, 2025 at 11:35 AM
In all my old versions of this goober, I realize I've made him large and buff for no particular reason. So I returned to my interpretation from a character design lens and ramped up the "space Squidward fisherman".

I still have that Old Fingerhead T-shirt, need to wear it more often.

Been a while since I reinterpreted an RD character. Or used a grease pencil, for that matter.

Quick drawing as part of an "edgy oc" prompt from a friend. Though admittedly it came out more spooky than anything else.

School started and I've been procrastinating on the tileset blog. Uhh... have my own NES tiles in the meantime. I think this marks my fifth year making 'em?
