A Call to Artists for Worldwide Mega Man Homage
Do you like Mega Man? Do you draw good? Then you’re eligible for to contribute to a Mega Man fan endeavor of global proportions! However, time is very much against you, so if you’re interested, read carefully and act quickly.
Some people, particularly the Japanese, observe June 9th as Rockman Day (since the characters for 6 and 9 combine as rokku - see here). Fans around the world, including our own eye on Rockman Online, Amunshen, are organizing a character collage made by you the fans, with each person contributing at least one character.
However, there are very particular guidelines you must follow. First you must apply for a character not already taken (there is a list in the above link), by sending a tweet to @argent_fox01 with your character of choice. You can choose more than one character as long as they’re not taken, as well as other bosses and minor enemies. If it’s in the Mega Man universe, it’s good.
What’s more, the deadline is the minute before midnight on June 8th, Japan time. This means, if you live in America, you have until June 8th, 10:59 AM on the east coast, 7:59 AM on the west. In other words, you have about three days to submit your completed work, so you probably shouldn’t bite off more than you can chew!
Be sure to check the main project page thoroughly for other requirements as well, such as the image format and size. When it’s all taken care of, you can mail your entry to [email protected].
I know this is a bit short notice and technical, but all the same I encourage everyone to make a strong effort and apply. It is of the utmost importance always to show our love for Mega Man in these times. Don’t hold back! Thank you!
Update: If you don’t want to use Twitter to apply, Amunshen has agreed to accept applications made in the comments for this post as well. Just mark them accordingly. Twitter is still the preferred way to apply, though, and assures your application will be registered the quickest.

Meddy.exe
@UrielManX7 Accepted. Thank you for apply.
[APPLY]
Bad Boxart Mega Man from Street Fighter x Tekken.
Oh yeah.
@New Era Outlaw …oh please…That isn’t a character from Megaman series. We only accept character from Megaman series. Sorry.
Technically, he did appear on the boxart for Mega Man 1, and he was going to appear in Mega Man Universe as a hidden character.
Okay, then…..how about this?
[APPLY]
Marino from Mega Man X: Command Mission
(I’m actually surprised nobody claimed her as yet.)
@New Era Outlaw Sure. Accepted. You can see on the list.
[Notice from organizers]
Since we got too many applicants(it’s near 100 right now) unavoidably we should close the application in 10:59 AM EST and 7:59 AM PST. Of course we appreciate to all of your application, but it’s too tough for our editor to put all of 100 entries together in just one days(We are planning to release the completed collage art on 9 june in Korean/Japanese time, if we can). so, we don’t accept any more applicants after the closure time. Sorry.
btw, as I said above, it’s big challenge for us to finish edit and organize all artworks into the collage until the time we planned. Is there any volunteers to help the editing? If you want to help, you can contact to @argent_fox01 on twitter or [email protected] .
[APPLY]
Prometheus from Rockman/ Megaman ZX or ZX Advent
Thank you!
[APPLY]
I just saw the update on the blog, so I’ll apply for one last character: Steel Massimo, from MMX Command Mission, to round off the cast!
Arrrrgh!! I go away on holiday for one week and suddenly this shows up. Entering this late not only means less time to work, but all my top choices are taken. (RayZX and Psycho Sufaku, I hate your guts.)
[APPLY]
Oh well, I’ll go for a simple character like ALOUETTE. I should be able to sketch her in time.
PS. rnn, I am astonished that you picked Chill Penguin over Axl and Lumine. It’s like… I don’t even know you any more. o_O
Okay I’m really up to scratch with my time zones, but looking at the character list I can’t bare that he isn’t up there so…
[APPLY]
Bon Bonne, you have to have the Bonne familly whole…

@Nat Grim as we mentioned, Please check list before you apply.
@New Era Outlaw @Glitcher @Apple Accepted. Thank you for apply.
@David PreacherDude Gonzalez Sorry I didn’t get which character you want to apply.
[Notice from organizers]
We don’t accept any more entry application.
Thank you for every Megaman Lovers!!
I really expect your art work!
@David PreacherDude Gonzalez Your apply accepted thank you. sorry to make you confuse.
Oh… In that case, may I do him in his original Reploid form?
Huh? what gives? I just checked the main page and saw my name crossed under meddy.exe but I haven’t mailed her yet. Should I still go with? or something happened?
don’t think anything has happened yet
maybe just a simple mistake? The people in charge seem to be checking their email pretty frequently so can just ask!
AUGH AMUNSHEN I DID NOT SEE YOUR OTHER COMMENT AND I WAS SO HAPPY TO BE A PART OF THIS CONTEST AND I EVEN FINISHED MY ENTRY AND NOW I READ THAT I AM NOT! BEGJKLSAF!!! THE DEADLINE WAS A FEW HORS AGO RIGHT? OR CAN I STILL ASK FOR ANOTHER CHARACTER? I will do plant man, if it is not too late! Apply! Sigh… I always have the worst luck with these art community events! I wish I could make it in somehow? Is it too late to re apply now?
done…just emailed it to you :

mm some people are posting their finished piece? I think they don’t want that? I’m not sure :/ but just in case the site does say:
“We don’t care even though your entry is already drawn before(But, it must not have been tributed to the other site) .”
unless I’m misinterpreting that;; don’t want anyone’s awesome entries to get disqualified.
@break
*cough* Unless that’s just a preview, it’s the wrong size for starters. Amunshen said that the background needs to be transparent or clear white to facilitate the collage, and I can see the edges of the scan in that pic, not to mention the colours are extremely faded. Can your scanner do no better?
Anyway, I just submitted my picture of Alouette. Still anxious to see the finished collage.
Blork, I just finished Marino. (Had a few things to do today, so I’m burning some serious midnigth oil here!)
Steel Massimo is coming!
…aaaaand done.
Whew, that took a lot out of me, but it was worth it!
(I also just realised that Pallette’s fellow Navigators are still M.I.A. Gah!)
I also hope that whoever managed to snag Classic Roll ends up completing their picture, because I’d hate to think that my favorite character was taken for nothing.
Wow, congrats on getting three characters drawn in such short order, NEO. I know how you feel about Roll. If Psycho Sukafu whiffs on Alia, there will be no escape. *shakes fist*
greyheart67 and i want to draw mary towa from megaman.exe, in zx clothing.
I really hope people get their submissions done, It won’t be right without the key members of the cast. It’s a shame we have both Iris (and Iris from exe) but no-one snagged Colonel, or any of the stardroids. :/ Also Roll’s exe incarnation is no where to be seen.
so all of the “Megaman ZX advent” characters have been submitted !!
* i sure wish there was more fan art of “Grey” online *
@Glither don’t worry, i submitted the correct format and size ^_^”
* thanks again for worrying *
@New Era Outlaw : I hope you read Rockman.egloos.com’s notice.
I ended up reading the time wrong on mine and realized the due time East coast was AM not PM XD so I had to rush through the rest of the coloring in my picture…A pity, but oh well. ^^ Sent it in just in time!
Time’s up and there are still a few characters who have not been submitted yet. A frickin’ congratulations to Psycho Sufaku for picking one of my top choices, Alia, and then failing to draw her. Idiot. I’m also disappointed in Rock Miyabi and Advent-Axl for whiffing on their choices; they should know better. Advent-Axl had Data, one of the simplest characters too! *shakes head in dismay*
@ Aze
Yeah, sorry about that.
@ Glitcher
Funny, I could’ve sworn Data and Servbot were finished. I probably read that wrong.
really can’t waiiit
Rockman day can’t come soon enough!
matilda is such a hot mom
