Here's two redesigns in one; Masuyo and Taiyo!! Let's fly with mama

Design notes under cut:

'Redesign' might be pushing it in Masuyo's case - I basically just drew her suit from Namco x Capcom. The designs for her and Taizo in that game are great, so I use them as reference most of the time! However, I wanted to make Masuyo look visibly older in my design for her since most of my art is in the Mr. Driller time frame.

I'm not exactly sure why I gave Taiyo a construction worker-looking outfit? I think my line of reasoning was to give him bright, easy-to-spot clothes like those guys who wave the glowsticks at the airport runways. If you're going to let an 11 year old fly a helicopter, at least make sure he's always in sight. Something about it just looks right to me, so I kept it.

blah blah I don’t like these that much especially the first one I’m afraid it looks awkward and don’t really like the detail of him biting his glove,,but I have nothing else new to post right now so

Reminder to use Horipedia, and not Pookapedia or Mr. Driller Wiki (unless Horipedia doesn’t have a page for something that either of those wikis do), as Pookapedia and Mr. Driller Wiki are both hosted on Fandom, a Wiki Farm that’s known for flooding the wikis they host with ads, modifying wikis without the consent of the communities that edit them (even adding in anti-intersex slurs!), not deleting wikis that move and removing the moderators from their positions in order to keep them from doing anything about it and even merging wikis together without the consent of the editors!

So, please focus on using and contributing to Horipedia instead of Pookapedia and Mr. Driller Wiki!

I've played Alien Sector/Baraduke as I lowkey wanna say this game crawled so Dead Space can run because it legit feels like a arcade survival horror considering you felt super alone when there's no music & the only form of companion ship is Masuyo meeting an alien friend, which yeah people talk about how this character was the original first female playable character before Samus Aran but not only that, it even has the concept of a alien creature befriending the main character as well! So yeah this is one of the most inspiring things in Namco's history besides Tower of Druaga shaping what Zelda eventually perfected it & why I like Baraduke

Takky

A relatively obscure character in the Namco library, being the player 2 of Baraduke and main protagonist of Bakutotsu Kijūtei. Don't know what those games are? Don't worry about it. It's just the origin point of Masuyo/Kissy who would later be the wife (who then divorced) of Mr. Driller, aka Dig Dug. Deep Namco lore. Anyway they should meet back up and hook up now that Masuyo is single

realized this is so niche that I may actually be the first person ever to make an edit out of it
