And you will find the trust, only if we walk as one

Post title pulled from the lyrics to the track, "Joey and Heroman," from...well, Heroman.

I'm making progress with this update. Three drawings ahead of the daily quota, which means three more towards not being behind!

Although, haha, I actually posted this, then as I'm editing it right now, I'm typing the usual text in. I just wanted the original post time to be kept in the post.

Anyway, the first two drawings, this one and the next, involve a contest Capcom's running for Mega Man Legends 3. Essentially, it's designing a mech that'll be used by the game's antagonists, the Bonne family, as they fight Mega Man. They even provided some context for the mech, too: It'll drill into the area where it's fought, there'll be water in that area...and some other bits.

So I got caught-up on the drill part. The first one I drew is that caterpillar-looking mech up top. I'm not entirely sure how it would attack, unless it can stand on its hind legs and have its drill feet pop forward into you as you run around it.

The second one that resembles a pirate monkey with a gun-pacifier and drill wolverine claws...well, I got stuck thinking of how it would move, and it lacks feet/wheels.

And the next two I drew up had more drills. They don't feel very Bonne family-ish, though. The one up top came second, and had a snake-like body that it moved with. A giant drill backpack is on its back.

The one below moves on treads and has two giant drills that can open up to act as cannons. The frog mouth at the front raises up to reveal a place where the Bonne family can taunt Mega Man.

This was drawn before either of the mecha designs: They're just design and expression practice for Rose Hero's cast. Rosa's design is still kind of up in the air, since I don't know what to do with her hair or face.

And this was...just doodling and practicing. I brought my brush back out, but its bristles kept fraying as I inked my sketches. As a result, the line quality in a lot of places is much different from what I had desired.

But then when I used the brush later, it started to behave the way I wanted it to. Under the influence of certain sequences from Panty Stocking and Garterbelt, I felt compelled to try draw the female form stylistically. The results are...somewhat chaotic.

And that was supposed to be a swimsuit. Not some...weird dominatrix outfit. Ugh, oh God.

This was sketched up after I'd drawn the robots from my last post on the blog, but I never inked it until last night, and finished it this morning. I wanted to try a falling/flying action sequence several times in the past, and I finally re-attempted it here.

Mixed results. The last "panel" with Red Adonis and Rosa, in the bottom-right, wasn't planned too well, what with Rosa's legs being cut off by the panels preceding it...

And this started as doodles of Akumetsu. However, after being influenced by Bartender's ending song, I started drawing that bar scene. Used the brush again, and...I think it looks pretty good.

Seven drawings in tonight's update.

That bumps us up to 288 drawings total.

But I should have 317 drawings by today.

I'm behind by 29. I'm getting there.
