for some reason the image is super blurry???? here's a proper screencap

various concepts
his functionality and the way things fit together is based off metal knuckles and the sa2 model, there's also iron man inspo with the rocket palms and shoes
he'd be painted in vanta black

shoutouts to a friend of mine for the initial concept and brainstorming to shape him into this

in retrospect, maybe i shouldve lit the mantle more like the knight since the sprite depictions of both are similar

but using image depth isnt bad either, wouldnt you agree?

here's another view into the creation of this, originally i was making it in krita with a completely different composition, but i was unhappy with how it looked, so i redrew the mantle in aseprite since i felt it being pixel art was far more important to its identity than say, the knight

this one was done before jevil, and unfortunately i couldnt figure out what to do for spamton neo so i skipped over him. maybe ill revisit him later down the line

here's a complimentary gaster for reading this far

here's a little fun fact, the background was a result of me fucking around with various effects in krita until i stumbled into something really good

the source image is one of the unused backgrounds for the masked man fight in mother 3, have a guess at why i chose it lol

full color alt i dont like as much
i realize its jarring to see me put this out when my entire back catalog looks Nothing like it but ive been chipping away at my skills in the background

also expect to see art of spamton neo and Other Two Fellows after this

(for the record linux mint is going to be my os of choice from now on it is very very good)
