Continuing my re-designs for the Mega Man universe, here's Proto Man! You can read more about my thinking behind the design and my whole process at our new blog on ComfortAndAdam.com. http://www.comfortandadam.com/mega-man-redesign-cut-man/
For Cut Man, I wanted something small, light, and fast. The legs are built for jumping, the Rolling Cutter is a an energy fan-blade that spins like a boomerang, and the body is more piecemeal and plated (since he's the earliest Robot Master design). I go into a lot more detail on the blog, so if you're interested I highly recommend reading it to see how I got to this specific look.
