Description This is a little project that I took it upon myself to start. I began making super fluent animations of Mega Man in this 8-bit chibi style and then decided to make some Robot Masters as well. The backgrounds are very minimalist, I know, but I honestly think they're easy enough on the eyes. I might try to make some tilesets and even some stage mock-ups in this style eventually, though.

Now I'll list off some problems I had with these:
Cut Man - None, really. The Charge Shot was pretty easy.
Bomb Man - I made the Rolling Cutter's animation earlier today, so I just used a frame from that.
Ice Man - Very claustrophobic. I used Ice Man's sprite as a base for Fire, Elec, Time, and even Oil Man. Ice Man himself is based off of Cut Man, who uses Mega Man as a base.
Fire Man - I thought the fire would be more of a pain, but I got it done quicker than I expected. Surprisingly, the Ice Slasher was the hardest part.
Oil Man - The first Robot Master sprite that I feel turned out rather 'meh'. He doesn't really suit this style due to his eyes and his mouth looking so much different than everyone else in this series. I couldn't makes his scarf red either and there was no way in hell that I was making his lips red. The Fire Storm was also annoying and I wish I had done more with it. I just don't know what I can do though.
Elec Man - Thought it was too simple, and I still do. The only things that really stand out about this scene are the little oil droppings. Elec Man caused trouble with the color limitations, and there would be no way to distinguish his artificial skin from his glasses if I made his face yellow or his yellow parts AND skin gray. So I made it red. Bleh.
Time Man - I actually had fun working with the limitations spriting him. I made his antenna light and head triangle lavender and clock and rings tan so yeah.
Guts Man - The other sprite that I find turned out 'meh'. Something about his posture. I also had a tough time making it clear that the Time Slow was in effect, so I decided to make it so Mega Man summons an arrow that sprinkles magical sparklies on Guts Man that slow his events.
Yellow Devil - Gosh, this was so much fun to sprite. I love how the shading came out and I love the hole with the drips. The Fire Storm is his weakness in Powered Up, so this opened up an opportunity to make him melt, and I completely missed it. That's my only self-complaint with that one.

I hope you like it and Mega Man 2's bosses are coming soon!
