Curse Flower Captured - August 2022

A drawing of Casino Grayleaf capturing Skunk, based on the intro of Mega Man 7.

One of my favorite video game series is Mega Man. I've taken a substantial amount of inspiration from it, as well as having drawn multiple tribute artworks like this one.

Casino herself has quite a lot in common with the titular protagonist, being cute and boyish with a strong sense of justice, and having a wide array of abilities at her disposal.

Skunk is a lot like Bass, with a bit of Dr. Wily, being her archenemy as well as her rival. She has a bit of Proto Man's role as well, though I tend to associate him with another of my characters, Casino's predecessor Chance Grayleaf.

I did a playthrough of the series back in 2021, where I remarked that my favorite robot masters in the series were Clown Man and Magic Man, and that my favorite stages were amusement themed. If you've seen my work up to this point, that shouldn't surprise you.

Though I've drawn numerous Mega Man tributes, there is one that has been my white whale for many years. I've been trying to draw Skunk and Casino dressed as Clown Man and Magic Man since 2020, but all of my attempts have been lackluster.

As much as I love the series, some of its designs are very challenging to draw. I haven't given up though, so don't be surprised to see it some day. 🃏🎩
