i don't totally understand the fc!hardman design but i sincerely want you to gush your heart out to me about it and infodump however you please ;0;

THANK YOU OKAY INFODUMP AHEAD

THE PURPOSE

He’s designed to be a wrestler; I dabbled in the idea of him being a burrowing robot but I didn’t wanna just make another Drill man. I went with a general professional wrestler theme since boxing and sumo are both very much classic!hardman traits, and I wanted this guy to have a little bit of uniqueness to him.

BODY BUILDING

So all I really had to go off was I knew I wanted him to be big and sturdy. I was thinking lots of squares would look good in his design, but I had to figure out what his proportions would be.

I agonized over his design since I’m not very good at the detailed designs in fully charged, and I spent a lot of time just staring blankly at reference images I’d gathered and trying to communicate those into my art.Something @theletterwsarseflap said was helpful to her was finding a base body type in Fully Charge that you like, and tweaking that to suit your needs. Not outright copying, but finding something to ground you while you work.I started out trying to base his body on Gutsman’s but was really struggling; the top-heavy look really wasn’t working for me. He looked big, yeah, but I wanted him to look way more tankish.

I just couldn’t make a gutsman-based body type work for him, and I had to switch gears.I started to look at the other robot designs in the show, and ended up using both Principal 100100 and Fireman as my references. Something about the big arms and legs really helped the design and made it feel balanced. @pommefrite-official suggested I try to omit huge pauldrons because that might blob up the silhouette, and I gotta say that was a great idea. It really makes him look like more of a wrestler than just a battle robot.

PALETTES

Palettes are probably one of my favorite parts of any design project, so I grabbed original Hardman’s models, and did some color picking. I took some notes concerning fc palettes, using fc!Waveman as a reference since his colors would be the most similar to Hard’s. I wrote down some key things for me to remember when making up Hard’s new palette:

The glowing parts of the design are typically brighter and more saturated than the other colors in the palette.

Neutrals are accent colors, but shouldn’t be used for the main color of the robot; keep the robot bright and colorful!

The palettes in the show are typically limited to 3 or 4 hues, all next to or close to each other on the color wheel, and maybe one color that’s across the wheel (on waveman his palette is primarily dark blue, cyan, cool greys, and green, but then he has yellow thrown in there to break things up).

Not many robots have true human skin tones; Iceman and Woodman do, but they’re much duller than those of humans in the show. I would need to keep Hardman’s skin a bit grey.

When I tried out the palette on FC!Hard, I actually used a blue that was similar to the one in his og modern palette, if a bit darker and desaturated. But I realized that I had underestimated how bright the colors in the show were! I not only lightened and saturated it, but I made it more purple, and it looked awesome with the yellows and golds in his design!

DETAILS

Fully Charged sports a lot more details than in the games, so I tried to incorporate some things into Hardman’s design to make him look more polished.The inverted triangle on his head in the classic design was expanded to take up his entire forehead area, and I also felt like he needed a nose. The black covering the top of his face added some nice contrast to the design, and made it look like he was wearing a mask. Rivets, sautered seams, panels, knee guards, and the wrestler’s belt really helped add to him and make him look finished. I really struggled when I tried to design the elements of his design one at a time, so I ended up just scribbling his face on while I was working on the body. I think it helped to keep the design coherent.

In the end, I hope you can tell which robot master he is, but that he’s also distinct from classic!Hardman! :D

Day 13: Dark Purple!

Oh man, it wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t add in a cuphead doodle for October, so I figured, why not one of my favorite bosses, King Dice. I love him to pieces, (probably because I love big band and Cab Calloway xD). So lets say when I saw him, I was like, “I like him.” So yeah, King Dice!!
