[CHAPTER 5 ONGOING] Rockman DASH Legends

[HF]

@ Dashe: Thanks for the feedback!

You're right, I really should do a back view.
An annotation here, and done!

Very nice. I like his hairdo and I also like the full-body view as well.

[HF]

@ Steffie: You think an unarmored front-back view would please the fans?


Update: As unfortunate as the recent news was of getting Rock back from his indefinite exile in space (with several women to keep him company), I would like to make it clear that I am not through with this little project.

Though I was actually considering whether to skip this week to let the heavy feelings pass before making the update, I feel that these cases should be unrelated; and maybe skipping the update will be a bad omen in itself for myself and possibly to others.


Anyway, morality is pushed aside now, 'cause it's finally BOSS BATTLE TIME

[Mikéy]

Depends on what kind of clothes you'll put him in, HF. I'm sure you'll choose something fitting, and yes, I'd love to see Rock in an unarmored front/back view.

and whoa. Han seems to have a thicker skull than what I'm remembering. Hope Rock's buster has enough power left for the big boy.

I'm also glad you decided not
to skip a week.

[Dashe]

Good call there, HF. I always look forward to your updates! Only this week I won't be able to print it. My dad's computer heard about Legends 3 and decided it'd like to catch a bunch of viruses and put itself out of its misery.

I'd also be all for an unarmored front/back view.

Man, that Hanmuru Doll is more formidable than usual. Man, Rock is a tough stud just standing there "well, all I need to do is stand there and kill this guy." Quite awesome.

Thanks for the release, cheered me up a little.

Edit: And I'm glad that my 150th (making me a Arukoitan) post occurred here instead of the other slightly depressing threads.

[Rockman Striker]

Really amazing! The name behind Hanmuru gives some kind of cool vibe. I like too your concept art, it´s strange that your drawing style it´s completely different to MM style and although it´s a bit "un-proportioned" and sometimes the character´s poses are a bit strange (no offense, it happens to all of us frequently) you know how to add some little details that add freshness and taste to your drawings.

[MegaTuga]

You know what would be cool? adding a HP bar of the Boss like they did in teh ZX manga.. XD

Kidding, kidding. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

@ HF: I am all in favour of the unarmoured front/ back view.

The Hanmuru Doll looked more sinister and maybe even harder to beat than from the games itself. I think it's because the skull looked thicker, like Mikey said.

[HF]

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

@ Dashe: It must have been a crazy week.

@ tominator: Yeah, Rock is a pretty bold guy like that, especially when given so many chances to make him express himself via dialogue.

But ultimately I want to keep him as the friendly and outgoing character that we all know him for.

@ Rockman Striker: At first, I did wonder whether I should follow the original style or to go with my own, and eventually went with the latter to provide a more 'new' experience of what we already know (of the first game).

@ MegaTuga: That sounds like the kind of treatment a joke boss (or the Bonnes) deserve, hah.

@ Mikey & Steffie: You're right. I slightly modified its design for this comic to give it a more 'bulkier' appearance. Otherwise, it's basically the same.

I was actually going to put up a closer look of the H.Doll in my next post while I'm in-flight. Well, as such:




In the case of Rock's unarmored appearance, I probably meant naked.

[HF]

Update: Working part-time and having even more side tasks to do has left me with little time to participate online as often as I have hoped. But I am not going to skip on an update just like that!

(Just times like these I'm glad to have reserves)

And so the fight goes on, not so well.

[Dashe]

Congratulations--today is a momentous occasion, as you now have the longest English Legends fancomic in MMLS history! Keep up the great work--I've got it all printed out so far and it looks seriously professional.

[Rockman Striker]

So far every reaverbot has been turn into scrap very easily, and now Megaman feels the pain at hands(?) of Hanmuru... this is getting spicy.

Seriously, if you would make Megaman a super invincible hero I´ll get bored of him, it´s ok to let the hero suffer a bit or else you´ll end with an inmortal Alucard.

[HF]

@ Dashe: How many comics does MMLS have again? I feel like I missed one or two.

@ Rockman Striker: As you've brought it up, I have a few things I believe is worth mentioning (without spoiling too much):

I don't like the idea of Rock being an invincible hero either. Mainly because serious one-sided fights won't be able to bring out another side of him, and having him getting his ass kicked in the next fight or so would be too strong a contrast. Additionally, I have a thing for battle damage which on top of being visually appealing (at least to myself), I believe would work great with the adaptation I am aiming for.

The second thing would be this one fight against the damaged Hanmuru Doll. This one is particularly memorable as the first 'big guy' in the game, and I feel like it deserves a more expanded battle and conclusion so I want to take my time with it. Naturally, other H.Dolls are not going to receive the same treatment.

Edit: Well this doesn't look good...

[HF]

Update: Having started a part-time 8-hour work day schedule in preparation for employment (and me getting the hell out of the rather useless Japanese School System) since last week, I used this as a chance to experiment how I would manage to keep this comic going despite being more occupied than usual.

From a general viewpoint, the results do not not seem so good.

As some of you may guess from the lack of preview image, this week is the last of the current reserves I have prepared. But at this point, I only dismiss this as nothing more than a loss on my part, and it is not like I have nothing to work with from here onwards.

But anyhow, COMIC!




Edit: Spelling mistakes resolved. Thanks Dashe!
