I thought it would be a fun creative exercise to make a set of Mega Man Robot Masters! Basically just coming up with a theme for a robot, thinking about its function, and then drawing it in that official style.
You might have noticed that this one is number 8. I drew Shroom Man first because I’m a tad out of practice and his design was the easiest out of the set I came up with (Plus it might help motivate me to finish the set quicker since I hate leaving things unfinished. By posting the last one first I feel the need to do the others).
Anyways, Shroom Man! He grows mushrooms! He spreads spores! Most of his design comes from wanting to draw less humanoid robots, since I have a bunch of those. Also I wanted to have a design that counters one of the other robots in the project, and having a red, mushroom-themed guy that throws a projectile that bounces along the ground felt appropriate (hint? maybe??).
