Mega Man 10 features a triad of playable characters— Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass. Unlike the former two, Mega Man 10 was Bass's first 8-Bit outing (Not counting his very minor cameo in Mega Man 9), and his faux NES sprite is... off. It's not a bad sprite by any means, but his color palette and posture being much too close to Rock's never quite sat right with me.

But what would Bass look like in my spriting style? Well... here's your answer! ✨

#Star's Art #Mega Man #Rockman #Bass #Forte #Sprite Art #Coolness #I've had a Bass sprite sitting around for a long while now— since about 2019 I believe #I've been meaning to post it for just as long but I knew I could do a smidge bit better than my first iteration of the sprite #So I made a few alterations to his posture and height and it was much closer to my liking! #I realize I could have saved a color by making Bass's armor a solid black rather than the usual deep grey #Though seeing as I went into this with the 'Mega Man Ultimate' spriting style in mind... six colors isn't too crazy #I mean. Just look at Amazon Man. His sprite uses six colors! #Even now I think that the above sprite of Bass that I drew is amidst one of my best character sprites #It feels a lot like a demake of his appearance in Mega Man 8 in particular wherein he has SO many good sprites #This does in fact mean that I'll eventually get around to respriting the rest of Mega Man's main cast in my style #I have preliminary drafts of just about everyone already drawn. All that's left is to touch 'em up!
