A memory that remains to be cherished.
I know I have been often making pics with a simple-polygonal background such as this, but I'm not the best to making BG's in the first place. Well, simplicity is a common theme of mine in my drawings, so this shouldn't be a surprise to see the backdrop as so plain.
So, my head has been seriously emptied of any strong-inspiration, but prior to that I was able to bring out this little oddity.
(Plus, I tried to color this with a mouse on my brother's laptop, golly...!!)
But anywho, my short-story seemed a little stretch this time, sorry! I do have a tendency to not only make a lotta teary-moments but also gushy-hugging-moments, I hope you don't mind. I think it's nice if more and more people can learn to get along or just simply make friends, right?
I had actually intended for a bit of a monologue regrading these two. But then, it got too complicated for me on the diction I should use, so I just made a simple picture to sum some things.
Once I found out the R.O.B., or Buddy as I call him for short, returned into Smash 4, I noticed that now he's not the only robot in Smash anymore. This was also very important since in Brawl, according to Subspace Emissary's story, Buddy is the last of his kind. And I'm sure that judging by his motions in-cutscenes, he must have felt devastated and subsequently lonely.
I did, of course, try to show some slight comparison between these two Robo-buddies. Buddy is much more like a typical bot we'd think of, Mega is an android so he's obviously more human-like. Would that mean their capacities to comprehend ideas such as love and affection are different? Maybe after the Subspace Incident, it's been hard for R.O.B. to recall how that feeling.
He did play a part in that Incident, forcefully or not, so there's chance that his trust from the others is rather thin.
Buddy is sad, and just wants to make a friend. But how?
Perhaps he could find solidarity in a fellow robot.
As for the actual picture, they are both hugging, but in a slightly varied fashion.
Rock has his arms wrapped around Buddy's head, eyes closed to demonstrate some sort of emotion. Buddy was intentionally still with his eyes unchanged, simply craning his neck to be hugged. Whether or not he feels something, that's up to you bubbies to decide.
In the meantime, I am not feeling (Shulk!!) much recently to get me to draw a lot. The least I can work with right now are sweet, simple pieces like this just to help me relieve myself some. Otherwise, it's better to wait for more complicated ideas to naturally flow in, no?
Hah, as simple as this was, I really did feel happy putting it together.
Buddy was a challenge, but the idea-- to me at least-- was worth it. Golly, it makes me wanna crop this snug~

Ah, thanks~!
He is one of a few that I don't mind tagging with in my spare time, so I was happy to see him too.

As for me, ROB was my fifth main in Brawl and is my sixth main in Sm4sh. And also I like to ship him with Samus, so I was hoping he'd make a comeback for that.

Fufu~ Alrighty then.
At least he's a unique guy too, so welcome back, Buddy!

I was also happy that Mr. Game & Watch returned (I always imagine that ROB and Mr. G&W are buddies). He's always been one of my favorite characters in the games since Melee.

Aw, how sweet~! You really know how to bring out emotion in a picture.
I like the faded effect it's got, it gives it a nice touch.

Thank you, sometimes you don't really need a lot to show a lot, right?
The faded effect also seemed to give off a very soft, memory-like atmosphere, so I like using that whenever it look right. Mostly when it involves cuddling for some reason, eheh~!!

foamyawesomeness9 In reply to MewKwota [2014-11-16 17:32:18 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, although I've only been able to actually pull it off once...
You certainly know when to use that effect, I don't know why but I've always loved looking at those memory pictures. They're always so interesting. Β

Childhood stuff or nostalgia is a fun thing to work with. It usually helps me decide when to use that effect if the image seems to play well with, say, music-box music (that stuff I know it chock full of nostalgic feeling). But perhaps it's just how I feel of it.

Finally I see some ROB and Rock art! PRAISE WOOPER!
Seriously tho. People need to make more pictures and fanfiction of these two. Not the lovey-dovey yaoi kind, but the fluffy friendship kind.
Also ROB's fate is really sad expecially when you consider that it's in fact canon to the Smash universe. Smash Wiiu even references it in Β the Boxing ring stage and Palutena's guidance easter egg.
When I found out that ROB's wrestler alias in the Boxing ring is ''The last of his kind'' I literally started crying, because I remembered that one cutscene so vividly. Oh god ROBs, why?!
Also I have a soft spot for robotic beeps and robot speech in general, so you kinda sold me there.

*flings flower petals to my Wooper statue* ( J* ~*)J
Why thanks~ It was a funny coincidence the first time you mentioned an interaction involving Buddy when I already had such a thing in mind, so I thought it totally necessary then to put this togther. Besides, most interactions I do are generally buddy-fluffy, regardless of it's a between dude-dude, girl-dude, girl-girl, etc. Otherwise, I'd leave it up to the watcher to see what it looks like!
Before I get off topic (whoops!), now every time I see Mega teamed up with Buddy in modes like Smash Run I'm always shouting out, "Ah! My Robot Buddy~!!" just because they seem like they could also be... well... buddies~! ( ' v');
And no worries. I really do like robots, it's just been laid down so deep until Rock decided to help me reveal it. So electronic-talk like that does get me interested too. It's almost like so much can be said with so little, and that just feels quite beautiful somehow.

Wooper is the true pokegod.
One of the many reasons I like your art a lot. You tend to keep things buddy buddy. Most people just jump into the loveship straightaway. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to ship something, but I'm not much of a shipper so it gets really awkward really fast for me. Also some ships are just weird...
Wait is Smash run local only? Because if not, then we should play through it together some time. Most of my friends are getting the wii u version/ don't have the game yet/ aren't intrested in getting it/ won't get it because they don't have a 3DS or a wii u. Most people in Finland own one of these: wii, ps3, xbox 360 or a DSi/ DS lite. If I want to play multiplayer, I have to resort to the internet. What about you? Do you have people to play locally with?
Less is more. That's a good thing to live by.

MewKwota In reply to Thefangirl4848 [2014-11-17 18:32:14 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, what I usually try to do is just leave my "ship topic" generally ambiguous. I actually could care less if a person is shipped.
If people wanna think of a buddy drawing of mine as a pairing, they may by all means. But if another person wants to see the same thing as a buddy-shot, that's okay too! I just don't like to talk about interpretation flaming, so while I may like looking at occasional pairing-ship-whathaveyou's, I personally don't feel like drawing shots to pander to every single person. Because there will be someone out there who will yell at me for something.
So I'm not anti-shipping either, I'm just scared of being yelled at. ( J' ~')J
I'll just stick with buddy-shots that are totally open as is. I kinda like doing simple things anyway.
(Plus, what's wrong with a hug anyway? People hug all the time, couple or not. Maybe someone just wants to be warm.)
Ah, and as far I know it, Smash Run's only local. I've got two brothers who also play Smash with me, so we tend to play Local with each other whenever we're bored. Otherwise, I tend to stay away from online because it's scary over there. I've actually never been on Smash 3DS's wifi yet, so I don't know how that feels lag-wise. ( ' ,');

Aaaw that's a bummer. I wanted to race some strangers. Just imagine a Sonic player being outrun by a random Ganondorf player! It would've been hilarious!
I play online quite often. But I always stay at least a thousand miles away from For Glory mode. Dem Lil Macs are scary, especially when you're playing as a lightweight character like Kirby and Sonic. Plus having 99% of your matches be againts Lil Mac gets really boring really fast. For Fun mode is a lot more fun and newbie friendly anyway. My favorite For Fun mode is Team battle. Also the online mode doesn't lag very often, and when it does it's not too bad.

*hands you tissue in case*
It was even a surprise for me. After reading into some analyses regarding Buddy's role in the Subspace Emissary, I noticed how prominent and even sad the little robot must have been since then. Also, disasters are sort of common to him-- his creation in real life did help to save Nintendo from a time of financial game-crashing.
Once I realized that he and Mega had even the slight bit in-common of their species, I felt it nice to give Buddy a new friend.
I think he really needs it.

R.O.B really needs it. Being the last of his kind may really hurt him...
*blows on tissue*
It is even mentioned in his WiiU!Boxing Ring nickname: "The Last of His Kind".
So Subspace really is part of the Smash canon...
