Wily's Fortress 2

Description

And now we finally see what all that art was for. This basically came into my mind because I was playing Team Fortress while listening to a cover of Wily's Castle from Megaman 2, and I started to think a picture of the Robot Masters from the Meet the Team picture would be pretty cool. Most of them were actually pretty obvious... Quick Man as the Scout, Heat Man as the Pyro, Wood Man as the Heavy, and Crash Man as the Demoman. The next one I could think of was Metal Man as the Engineer, largely because the Engineer collects metal... and that's it. Though in the original pic The Engineer is standing on a toolbox, so I decided to throw in a Met to balance things out.

After that things got a little tricky. I went with Flash Man as the spy, just because Flash Man has a sort of illusory, more trick-like power than something that's just raw firepower. I actually hadn't thought of Wily as the Medic at first, but as I struggled to think of something for the Medic's position it came to me, and I felt kinda dumb for not thinking of it right off the bat.

To be honest Bubble Man and Air Man are kind of assigned arbitrarily. They're both kind of squat, so neither of them was really right, physically, for the sniper, but I thought of a decent way to make Bubble Man appear a bit taller (he's standing on his tip-toes, in case you didn't notice).

The inking on these was entirely digital. It came out a lot better than I thought it would, especially with all the 'bots put together. It was a little awkward at times because the TF Team all carry weapons, and the Robot masters all have their weapons built into their arms, so it doesn't always quite work. I tried to give them either something else to hold, or tried to put their hands in some kind of position that would make sense with the pose. I debated for a long time whether I should give Dr. Wily anything to hold, but he kinda looks like he's wringing his hands evilly, so I guess it works out.
