I sincerely apologize for the slight delay in this, but I was waiting for Soul to post the digital fanzine first, before I went ahead and made a post myself with everyone who participated. However, being at work all day yesterday, and not knowing it wasn’t going to go live with the Hyacintho remix album, it didn’t leave me the chance to give the OK for people to actually post their art on the actual anniversary date. So the timing is off, and that’s my bad. I know a lot of people wanted to post yesterday, and it was the intention, but it just didn’t work out.
However, just as we aren’t necessarily getting a game announcement or release on the date itself, it doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate this whole year, let alone a day later! So I’m going to go ahead and reveal this all today. And when Soul has the fanzine ready, I’ll definitely share that with you all, too.
Since there’s no way to really showcase everyone’s pics too easily without it being a giant megathread, I’ve just merely uploaded everything into a simple imgbox gallery for the time being, for easy viewing access:
http://imgbox.com/g/ud6O1ug3tG
With all the work you guys have put into your pics as teams, I’d rather you post your collabs on your own pages, so that people are able to easily give you the comments and likes and reblogs you deserve. And that way, you are better able to explain your creations and tributes than I probably can. You know I’ll definitely reblog them all.
However, I will give a quick rundown of everyone who entered. Again, we started with 38 groups, and technically, only 25 survived. That included one pulling double-duty as a backup artist for two people who lost their partners, one who found their own backup partner, and one person who still submitted a solo pic, despite their partner having to drop out. But I still want to showcase what was sent in to me, even if it wasn’t a true collab. Solo pics are noted.
Again, we had two categories that people had the choice of drawing for. The first category was the standard 30th anniversary celebration. The second category was a mashup of your favorite Megaman moments/games/etc, with characters from different games or series in them. This category got pretty creative, and I must say, was really fun to see! Can you figure out all the original moments without any commentary on them? Three groups drew for both categories.
This was really in no particular order, but uploaded based off the filename. So it’s alphabetical by a username in places, but also not, if files were named differently. ^^; Anyhow, here’s our group reveal, in order of the gallery uploads:
1 & 2.) @quickmansbutt and @mm3bros 3.) @rockmiyabideusexmachina and @metakit 4.) @arcade-gamer-fubuki and @otterwatt 5 & 6.) @enzanijuumeme and @mimirao 7.) @boatsalad and @drewblossom 8.) @cc-vivi and @gyromansbooty 9.)

Now there’s also the business of a little raffle giveaway I promised, too. I wasn’t planning on doing anything that major, but I had a few surprises to thank those who played along with this collab experiment. Excluding myself, of course, everyone was assigned a number. Our good friend Protodude pulled some numbers out of a hat for me, and I have 4 lucky people who are going to come away with a prize!
Congratulations to…
@cc-vivi - who has won a Mega Man X Bandai Giga Armor figure! @rnn-draws - who has won the choice of one of the Archie comic inked pages I listed way back when pairings went out! @otterwatt - who has won a Mega Man plush! (no, sorry, not lifesize) @jaybird-c - who has won a Mega Man usb helmet speaker!
I’ll be contacting the 4 of you soon enough for the details on that.
So to all of you, feel free to post your work, and thank you all again for participating!!! Your love and dedication to the Blue Bomber definitely shines in your own unique ways! As always, it’s so fun to see the creativity in your work, and you all should be proud of being able to work together to create something cool. Despite all of us probably procrastinating and only getting that big motivation push once Megaman 11 was announced (or was that just me?), you made it, and did an awesome job!
Now I have around 2 weeks to scramble to get the Valentine’s Day contest up and running! Ahhhhhhh! It’s already new contest season!!!!
Button commissions are open! With the holiday season over I have more free time so I thought now would be a great time to do some buttons ^v^ I can be contacted here via pm, so don’t feel shy to poke me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
Gemini knows what you’re up to and he’s done. He’s fed up with you Snake Man, you and all of your sneep snoops too.

Tundra Man is my favorite from Mega Man 11. Look at how beautiful and fabulous this robot is! Drawn for @rockmiyabideusexmachina 's contest.
All of the entries are amazing!
I love how the contest organizer understood perfectly my reasoning for not putting a tiara on Gemini Man ^^
First off, Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Whether you are able to spend it with your significant other, your family, friends, loved ones, or…, um, that dirty doujin page of your favorite waifu that you’ve been spending time coloring recently, or something ^^;…I hope you all are able to feel cared for on this day of love.
I think this is honestly the first year where I’ve actually posted the results on Valentine’s Day itself. Typically, the deadline has either been on the day itself, or I just haven’t been able to get everything coordinated to work out this way. This still won’t be perfectly how I’d like to do it, but I want to let you guys be able to post everything you have today, if you so desire, as well as letting you all get the praise and credit for all the hard work you put into your art.
Stats-wise, we ended up with 15 total entries, 9 in the Talent Category, and 6 in the Humor Category. Not quite 2014 levels, but basically doubling last year’s turnout. I usually go through the usual motions and depression that I’ll never get that major avalanche of submissions I dream of; with over 1000 views on dA and nearly 100 notes on tumblr this year, it’d be nice to one day get like at least 30 entries. Maybe next year for the 10th anniversary blowout.
However, I always do feel better once that final entry has been received. Year after year, there is always a consistent amount of regulars who I can count on to enter almost every time, and there is always a nice group of totally new people who surprise me with their talents. And it was no different this year. So again, THANK YOU!!! I do these contests as a way to give back to the community, and to appreciate the talents you have. It sucks that not everyone can win a prize every year, but know I’m grateful you took the time out to draw something for this little thing I do.
The rest of this post is massive, so click to keep reading and see the results!
