Description
Still working on the MegaMan Powered Up TCG, I now needed an Aqua-type robot. I decided to do "SkarkMan" and my design idea was kind of interesting.You see, there was a MegaMan game a wile back called "MegaMan PC" and while licensed by Capcom, it wasn't made by them (and you could totally tell). There was a robot named SharkMan in it that looks like SnakeMan but with a shark-like helmet instead.
Then, when MegaMan Battle Network came out, they decided to make a Net Navi based off the unofficial SharkMan robot..which looked more like a shark than a person/robot.
For my design of SharkMan Powered Up (a robot that didn't officially exist) I decided to combine both elements to form a new design.
Overall, I think he's totally adorable and I really like him a lot. It could have something to do with the fact that he looks very similar to a Lugia from Pokemon, but I digress. Still a very cute robot.

I do like this one. Slight correction; SharkMan.EXE wasn't based on anything, he was conceived as an original creation.
But I do really like this design, and I'm glad it's still here.

Shark Man is also going to appear in the MMRPG at some point (rpg.megamanpoweredup.net/datab⦠, but like Number Man he'll take a while to get there.  Gotta finish the Mega Man 1 - 10 robots first.  But to answer your question, Shark Man was created as a deep sea exploration robot (rather than one used for fighting) and therefore has few offensive attacks.  His role was basically to swim among the side and catalogue underwater topography for research purposes, using the colours of his armor to blend in with his surroundings.

Geez, High Tech Expressions REALLY didn't do justice to the concept for a shark boss, but apparently this fixes that.
Halle-frikin-lujah.

Shark Man looked like a joke in MM3DOS, this one actually looks cool.

I remember the pc megamans... both of them... not only they were so quick in my computer - weren't though to play in modern computers... actually I am talking about 10 years ago or so xD... but I get very depresed when I started playing it so I wasnt able to play a lot - the only tsimilar thing that happened to me was when I saw wonderswam's rockman and forte... pretty traumatic
but your shark man is indeed very cool... and cute XD

Thanks, appreciate it. I plan to eventually draw him again in a different pose - he is one of my favorite original designs, after all.

To speak properly and moderate my words, it's not weird, it's not of my taste. YOU are the one imagining it and designing it. As long as you feel and are convinced that some element has to be here, then it has to. Whether I like it or not, many deviations that seemed ugly to me were faved by others. So a little texture, unpleasant to me (let me remind you that this "powered-up" is one the best however) is totally bearable considering that. As a conclusion I'll just say that I hate Azumarill's design and I do adore this char of yours. That was kind of a challenge, wasn't it?

I like this one as well, but why did you put this weird texture on his stomach? It ruins the sorta elegance the "arms" and tail's coulour scheme gave him. It remains one of the best you've ever drawn so far.

The texture on his stomach was supposed to look like bubbles and waves, ala Azumarill's stomach from Pokemon... I didn't know it was bad! :S Should it be changed?
That said though, I really do like how much his looks like a Pokemon - very elegant and swimmy (yeah, I know that's not a word...lol).

Ah, yes. Megaman PC. I've always wanted to try that game out, actually...*sighs*
Ah, but a great job you did here! A most excellent design~

Finally, a water-oriented robot who isn't superbly porkulent! (Not that I have anything against THAT, but you'd think a waterbot would have some form of elegance, right?)
Wonder how Megaman would fight PU Sharkman?

I totally agree! There aren't any cute or even just not-fugly water robot masters. So that's what SharkMan is for!
And as far as how? Maybe MegaMan gets an swimming upgrade or perhaps it's just like all the other underwater fights where the Robot Master swims around and MegaMan has to just jump over them and hit 'em! I dunno, but I think SharkMan (as I made him) would just be so fun in an actual game. :\

Aquaman is kinda cute, but he's way too obnoxious. Idjit killed me four times!! D:
Considering the swim physics in the MMPC games, that's gonna be one tough fight...
