Description
ASEprite, 6 Colors, 6 Hours
Design by Another request by another deviant, another chance for me to improve my art skills. I generally don't like roaming in the world of 8-Bit, but when the call comes, I'm quite capable of making super low-res sprites and working with restricted palettes.
Making this sprite was a great learning experience, and I really outdid myself on using as much scratch spriting as possible on this one. I know most people would just recolor Megaman's body and paste Roll's head on, but I wanted to aim for more than that and include more of the tiny intricate differences between the two, like height, a dress, and limb-thickness. A lot of these poses, as you can see, were based of off Megaman so that they could be used easily in hacks. On the other hand, I find much of the original Mega's posing to be atrocious, so I redid some poses when needed to and based some poses off of Roll's from Marvel vs. Capcom (Arcade).
And yes, it did take me 2 days of work on this before I realized her helmet design was taken from Roll.EXE.
What a Megaman fan I am...
==UPDATE 2/6/12==
Added broom shot and exploding bouquet projectile sprites.==UPDATE 3/4/12==
Been dreading finishing up this request for a long time, but I girded my globins and it turns out it wasn't that bad...so please, Midday-Mew, if you need any more fixes please do them yourself. This update took me literally 15 minutes to do.
Removed dress and fixed minor anatomical problems. Added Time Slow sprites.==UPDATE 6/1/12==
Super lazy sprite editing powers GOOOOOO! Super Arm sprites added.

wait so if megaman died or was killed

Actually, Megaman didn't die, and he's not related to the creation of Roll's Power Suit form. More like Roll eventually got tired of being left at home to be the janitor bot, so she asked Dr. Light if she could be remodeled for part-time combat. She still does cleaning and cooking in Dr. Light's lab/house, but Dr. Light now has a new maid/butler assistant bot who helps Roll with her duties. That way, Roll doesn't fall behind on her work due to going on adventures with Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass.
Power Suit Roll has a Super form that she can achieve by merging with Tango, much like how Mega Man can merge with Rush and Bass can merge with Treble. Her special weapon is the Broom Shot (a Nature-type weapon), in which she fires the head of a broom. She also can use the move Exploding Bouquet (a Bomb/Nature-type weapon).
In relation to her weaknesses to the original eight Lightbots from Powered Up, she's weak to Cut Man's Rolling Cutter and Fire Man's Fire Storm.

Hmmm can't remember the mythos of this one off the top of my head. I suggest you ask *Midday-Mew about that one. :/

Thanks. 
Or, I could request or commission someone else to add those to the sheet, provided I have your permission to have them use the sheet. I already found someone willing to do minor sprite stuff for me (I'll be doing a lot of the stage sprites and storyboarding, and attempting to sprite enemies and bosses).
Although...further down the road, is it possible that I could commission you? Not for the Roll sheet, but for some other sprites (Robot Master sprites, to be specific). I don't want to ask for more requests.

Yeah, I've got a limit of 1 request per person. Next time, you'll have to commission me full-price. Hmm...and yeah, I'm OK with the dude editing my sprites, and at a later date I'll do your boss sprites for you when I feel like doing commissions. Currently, I just really wanna get on with my own personal projects because I'm worn out on requests/commissions.
Go ahead and check in every other week to see if I've opened commissions, just don't expect that to happen soon. :I

I'll check in the summer to see if you've opened commissions, or whenever I have enough points. Your price per boss sprite sheet is 100 points, right? Does that include mugshots of the bosses? And since I have eight Robot Masters whose sprite sheets I wish to commission from you, that would equal 800 points total, correct? Furthermore, it wouldn't be commissioned all in one go (unless you'd prefer to do it that way?) so you would get to pick whichever Robot Master from the image ( [link] ) you wanted to do first. If it's Myco Man or Bisect Man, I would need to provide you with the sprites I have so far (the Myco Man base pose is incomplete, Bisect Man has two poses, but I'm still trying to perfect his "charge shot" animation of rotating colors of his hand that turns into a nozzle).

nice conversion

well done! ^^
i can definitely see the thickness in some poses (since Roll is a female and has a different body structure). the colors match the original sprites and i like how you did the slide pose, it's probably my fav.
this is like a "what if" Roll.EXE was in an original Megaman game, kinda like how Capcom turned Bass in 8-bit form in Megaman 10.
the only sprites i don't get are the bottom left ones facing with her floathy hair... what is she doing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! The requester wanted repair sprites. You know, if she was floating in a big energy chamber or something like that.
Yeah, she looks a lot like Roll.EXE, except for the hair, which is arguably lamer than in the Battle Network Series. Also, you didn't know Bass originated in the classic series? Like "Megaman and Bass" I think?

hmmm i see
i know Bass comes from 'Megaman and Bass', but he was in 16-bit, not 8-bit.
