Description
Very late birthday gift for . Belated happy birthday man!
It's his OC RM, Base Man . Base Man may look generic and not be as strong as your standard RM, but he's as tough as hell. And he probably has as much potential as the Blue Bomber himself. Too bad he can only learn attack patterns and moves, and not actual weapons. But still, that's quite the special ability if you ask me. Never underestimate his simplicity.
Hope you like it!

You really nailed this one: making a simple design like base man to look badass, that requires some talent, great work

He does seem very simple in design, but the concept of going Taskmaster on your enemies is never one to sneeze at! It's a simple look, but he doesn't look like he's taking anyone's crap, and the shadows behind him lend well to imply what supports him. Good work!

This is amazing, so simple yet has a lot of impact dang
Also I wonder who's taking the time to actually see who's in the background lmao

Thanks man!
Haha whoever's trying to pinpoint every RM silhouette's going to be disappointed. I warped a lot of those silhouettes... only leaving some key features, which mostly got covered by other silhouettes. The plan was to just put a few hints that the mist/dust is actually an unrecognizable mass of RM silhouettes.

Ayy no problem!
Ahh dang that's a shame haha
But ey it looks cool, that's for sure!

Looks like he's plotting something sinister. Almost like if he was the master mind of some convoluted but effective plan. XD
Nice touch with the RM's in the background. Really gives a rather basic looking character a more serious demeanor.Β Β

I wouldn't put masterminding past him. He's apparently quite the underdog in a straight up battle after all. Got to use other assets to tip the scales in his favor.
Thanks man!

I guess. I mean he does have his hands together like he's scheming something (I guess that's just how I interpret it).

So basically, he can copy attack patterns, but at the cost of using weapons? That sounds like it would be an interesting boss fight! Maybe even switching attack patterns mid-attack?
I've discovered 2 loopholes that Baseman may be able to use when fighting. You said he can't learn actual weapons. But that doesn't mean he can't simply fire buster shots in the same style as Robot Master weapons! (For example, he could fire a 4-way spreadshot, similar to how the Blizzard Attack travels the same way. Or he could fire shots to block or deflect your shots, similar to what a shield weapon would do.)
The second loophole I found runs on speculation, but I figured that if he can have multiple attack patterns and switch patterns mid-attack...you never said anything about combining attack patterns to create a new one!Β
For example, leaping around all over the place and dropping that red goop like Slashman, followed up by using Concreteman's shoulder ramming attack and shaking the ground from a leap to stun the opponent again, then jumping up into a generator like Dynamoman does to restore health. (I believe Baseman could do this, because your exact words were that he couldn't learn weapons, but since the neither the goop nor the generator were the Robot Master weapons received, they technically doesn't count as weapons.)Β
Also, I see silhouettes of Starman, Gyroman, and Napalmman in the background, which is a nice touch!
Great work overall!

Yeah, he's like Megaman. But instead of copying weapons, he copies (or CAN copy) moves and attack patterns. And yeah, you're right about the usage of different attacks. You could even say that he can improve old RM moves because of his own weapons. I guess that's how he is able to fight back, despite being weaker than other RMs. He's apparently pretty tough too though, so I guess having to deal with his tricky switch ups in a long battle could prove troublesome.
Thanks man! ^^

Ooh this one looks great! Love the silhouettes!

Thanks! I wanted to use actual RM sprites for the silhouettes, but they didn't look too great when I increased their size.

Ive always liked this guy. Β Its like you see him and dont expect much but give him the right opening and its GG.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I actually think he's protagonist material with his seemingly underdog nature but extreme hidden potential.

Aww man, thank you so much! Like the others said, the robot master shaped mist on the background is a nice touch and manages to convey what Base Man is all about. I am also surprised you mamaged to make him look like a bad ass. Great work man!

Base Man may look cute, but he's definitely a badass down to the core! Glad you like it man. And thank you too!

I also have to say there is more to Base Man than what was shown. Can't give much away but hopefully soon I can show more concepts.

He will redeem the term "base person"!

Clever how you put the silhouettes in the back. Really adds to it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I should have used more silhouettes though. I didn't want the silhouettes to be so easily recognizable (except for a few hints). ^^

A living proof that cunning and observation can win you more battles than raw power. Mind over matter!
π: 0 β©: 1
True that! Never count the underdog out. You don't know what surprises he will bring out.

To quote Jotaro Kujo, "They day simplest is best. I'm not sure if even I can beat him."

I like the usage of the RM silthouettes in the background. Or at least I suppose they are silthouettes since I can only recognize Gyro Man.
This is going to get repetitive, but I really appreciate how do you make even the least intriguing robots looks appealing with your skillz.Β
But is it weird I thought you would do Mad Man art Karakato wanted to see? I know, this would probably end up as a trade soon, but that would be a funny twist from you.

LOL, I didn't expect the silhouettes to be discovered this early. I was supposed to just put some little hints somewhere. I guess I should've used more silhouettes like I was supposed to, but I got lazy. I was aiming for a mystery meat pie effect with the mist/dust.
The Mad Man thing's a different matter for me, so I'll be doing that some other time. It most probably won't be a trade though, since I don't think I'll be able to commit.
Anyway, thanks man! ^^
