BLOOD TW

Me and @mothscotch made ocs together... here's my half of the deal, but most of these arts were made on my phone cause I'm on holiday right now!

This lil guy's name is Skiver... who's in some twisted relationship-rivalry with moth's oc Noca. He's just some raging closeted gay elsen, Zone 1 occupant and occasional smoker.

After we checked the previous animations in game they looked super stiff so I made a bunch of modifications to spice up the flow, plus found and fixed some errors

Spiral “Skiver” Pegasus: I don’t get it, what’s a “My Little Pony”?

-One five-minute explanation by an understandably enthusiastic Iris later-

Spiral “Skiver” Pegasus: I have the intense urge to punch a wall to regain my masculinity...

Slash Beast[leo]: Hey, kid. I know something a little more... productive. *jostles a copy of “Street Fighter for Dummies” in his hand* You interested?

(And that’s the story of how a flying military horsebot who fuels the fandom’s most untapped canon potential love triangle/OT3 can spam the Shoryuken on your ass in X5 or Legacy Collection unless you were smart enough to beat Mothafuckin’ Maverick DIO Dark Necrobat first and counter with ZA WARUDO Dark Hold. And don’t say he’s NOT Megaman DIO cuz Axle the Red/Spike Rosered/APPARENTLY CARNIVOROUS PRICKLY FLOWER MAN was based heavily on Kakyoin. Inafune himself confirmed this. It’s canon. His vine attacks and motifs are basically just Hierophant Green without the Emerald Splash.)

The Skiver from MegaMan X5.

Some attack animations for the flying horse.

Already did these animations for the older model a while back, but I dont recall if I posted them here. I reused and modified the older animation for the new one and they turned out pretty nice. Simplified the smear frames by a lot.

Both of the attacks are going to be direct throwbacks to one of my fav Megaman 8/MM&B boss.

Before and after of Skiver/Spiral Pegasus. Last time I worked on this guy was two years ago, more or less.

Dont know why the "floating in the air" pose was a massive pain to pull off, but think it looks good now. He looks waaay more MMZ style than my initial attempt. Think he had 4 design iterations. The other artist had two and these were my two versions.

Some design doodles of Skiver I did on lunchbreak.

Need to do some proper colored references later if photoshop wont be freezing on me every 2mins.

Wanted him to have a big golden crest on the chest, but it didnt really fit on the pixel art form. He does have a bit of gold on the chest just not as visible. Also ended up doing a completely different crotch design.

Sprite update for the Skiver.

He is not going to have any crazy animations, just arm swinging and flying.
