Continuing Adam's re-designs for the Mega Man universe, here's Ice Man! You can read more about the thinking behind the design and his whole process at our new blog on ComfortAndAdam.com: http://www.comfortandadam.com/mega-man-redesign-ice-man/
"Ice Man was more work than some of the others, because his original design was sooo... silly. An arctic robot in a parka! Because he's cold! Oy. I tried to do something that resembled the original enough, or nodded toward it. I added the visor as a reference to classic arctic explorers, but it can retract so you can see his big, innocent eyes when it's needed for the plot. Yes, my version would have a lot of plot. It'd still be a side-scroller, because I'm not a monster, but there'd be loads of story during all that blasting and jumping and sliding. And probably a lot of Metroidvania-style character upgrading. (*MAN* do I want to play this game...)"
