Description
Coloured in Photoshop 3.4; edited in Elements 7. Drawn whilst somewhat tired.Almost every RS-MM detractor goes out of their way to rant about how that continuity's Protoman is a bad guy and that Bass should've filled his role instead (which would require the staff to have super future-predicting powers). These people tend to be fans of Ariga's mangas, from what I've seen.
Problem is...Ariga-Proto is very morally dubious. Even worse than RS-Proto and his jackassery, at times (see: Copy Megaman, that incident with Kalinka). WHOOPS.
(Well, assuming I'm remembering things correctly)
I don't remember if this point came to me as I started drawing Ariga-Proto; I just wanted to draw him since I don't do that often.

He does have his "what the hell, hero?!" moments. He has a bit of a brutal streak in him, I think. Or rather, he's willing to do things that Rock wouldn't be able to bring himself to. I still give props to Ariga for giving the series some depth. I liked it.
I never watched the RS series growing up and I honestly have trouble sitting through it now, though I have watched a few episodes. Given the era it's from, I can't criticize its format, but I wish they'd done more than put the characters through silly shenanigans.
I think I'm just spoiled on the idea of an animated series with continuity from episode to episode.
It's a nice Blues you have there, though. I laughed the first time I saw him out of armor in Ariga's manga. He's so dapper and I was over here like, "Where are you even going to be so dressed up?"
Maybe Dr. Light wanted to drag him to a party and that was the last straw, rofl.

Maybe with enough practice... XD

But I guess he'll never be a family man.

To be sure, "dubious" means "questionable", right? If that's the case, then yeah, I agree with there.
The picture itself isn't bad.

I find it hypocritical, to say the least. Considering how he did nothing to help Copy and yet those fans complain about RS Protoman. Then again, some of the characterization Ariga did to the characters I really hate. Like... you should hear me rant about how Shadowman turned into a pussy and turned his back on the entire concept of the ninja. D|
Anywhoodle. Only compliment I'll ever give to Ariga Protoman is his awesome trench coat. Which you did a nice job on. c:

I think that trench coat's pretty cool, too (and thanks!).

Haha, I always felt that way too about Ariga Blues, that he was always telling other characters how to live their lives and lecturing them on morals when he himself never did anything. xD Still love the Agriga Rockman manga, heres hoping for more!

Dunno if Ariga-Proto was that bad, but yeah. XD

Lol I'm always harsh on Ariga Blues but I still love the character and his complexity.
