No.9837 [Last50 Posts]
So we had a thread, when this board's started, about updating /m/tan's design. Months later, with the tread gone, and the dust settled, you guys want to tackle that again?
I've personally been going with this suggestion I had made, on the left, just switching the 8ch logo back to the M. I like this as it's still simple to draw, it's still similar to the original (indicating there wasn't really any rupture), it's just a custom paintjob. Doesn't feel resentful, as Punished /v/ does.
The others, which I did based on other drawfag's proposals, I feel get a bit too complex- a good board-tan is visually distinct yet simple, you know?
Anyways, /m/-tan thread. Post images you have you like, even if it's of the halfchan version. Do new art. Suggest design variations, whatever. Let's have some fun.

The only problems I've ever had with /m/-tan is that I always thought he looked a bit too scrawny and cute.
If we were really to change his design, I'd say make him a bit buffer.

Nothing says he can't, but I generally find it helps for there to be an agreed look of sorts in PD characters, if only as a starting point. I mean, I've pretty much already decided for myself I want him to look like in the OP, red shoulder on his right, red eyes, etc, but maybe in discussing it here someone'll have other suggestions I like instead, and maybe something'll be arrived to most people'll like too.

He was often depicted with a toaster in early drawings (the whole "toasters are mecha" deal) and I kept forgetting to add the toaster in, so was having fun giving him a toaster here. It's not literally /m/tan as a toaster. As for the barks, just to have it as a pet.

Because I keep posting whenever I draw /m/-tan here in hopes someone else will be interesting in joining in and also drawing him, altering the design, whatever. In this specific case I've been drawing board-tans with a more SD-esque style, hence most drawings of him being like that recently.
It's a circlejerk of one guy, yeah. If you'd like to help fight against that, I'd be more than overjoyed to see someone else pick up the pen too.

the idea isn't mechanical-like bits, but burlap of some sort covering the mechanical bits. I think for the purposes of making sure the design looks simple enough to draw in the end, we should make sure to keep the Toku element of having him look like an actor in a robot suit- even if lore-wise he's a robot throughout (something I don't think was ever decided).
That brings me to something else, though. "lore". Do we want this to be literally the same /m/-tan as before, just redesigned? Are we making a new character? What's his personality? Is it even a he?
Some additional thoughts- right now he's got influence of Kamen Rider Ghost (well, not so much in this latest iteration), Gundam Barbatos, and Gaiking. What else could we mix in instead? Elements of some other Gundam? Eva? Getter?
Does he have a car? If so, based on what?
Does he have a bike?
Does he have some sort of sidekick? Is the toaster his sidekick?
Etc. Please do spit random ideas

>Are we making a new character?
I say yes. I say this one is new, but the old one should also stay.
>What's his personality? Is it even a he?
That brings me to my second point. What about doing like /v/ and /vr/ where they are designed as siblings? Except instead of one being modern vidya and retro vidya, the two of them being classic super robot and real robot genres each.
>Some additional thoughts- right now he's got influence of Kamen Rider Ghost (well, not so much in this latest iteration), Gundam Barbatos, and Gaiking.
>What else could we mix in instead? Elements of some other Gundam? Eva? Getter?
Well, the other one has more elements from real robot like Gundam and Votoms, which is what made me think of making them represent one genre each. Based on that, I would add something that is more obviously getter than the scarf, maybe something like the Getter-1 Getter Wing. I would say something from Mazinger, but I am not sure what would fit in there.
>Does he have a bike?
I propose giving him a bike that has design elements from either, or both, the Pilder and the Get Machines, or one that is more heavily reminiscent of something out of Kamen Rider, because toku.
>Does he have some sort of sidekick? Is the toaster his sidekick?
I like this idea. Either the toaster as his pet/sidekick, or something that is his equivalent to Boss and his Borot.

If the idea is to have them represent the real robot and super robot genres and the current /m/ design is kamen rider + gundam, perhaps the new /m/ design could be super sentai + super robot? That could lead to the two of them having some nice aesthetic contrasts with one another.

Going along with the super vs real dichotomy, perhaps the new design could have Mazinger-style chest fins as a counterpart to those little yellow boxes on the old design's pelvis?
Although, if it's combined with a more sentai-styled outfit, Great Mazinger's more V-shaped chest fin might make a better aesthetic fit. The letter M could probably be worked into the visor design on a sentai-style helmet, as well, and/or a slightly stylized /m/ could be worked into a logo on the chest or belt buckle.
Personality-wise, if we go with the idea of the new design and the old design being brothers, I can't help but imagine the two of them bickering with one another a lot. I also can't help but imagine the two of them having a combination finisher involving sentai-/m/ launching rider-/m/ out of a cannon to deliver a powered-up kick to an enemy, mostly because it's a fun mental image.

Nice, that definitely looks like a good contender for a super robot-inspired design.
If we wind up going for any sort of sentai-based design for the new board-tan, one thought that occurs for the character's personality is that his initial interactions with other board-tans might involve trying to get them to join him in some sort of 8chan-themed sentai team, one with a name like InfiniRanger or something along those lines. They'd ultimately wind up turning him down, of course, but it could be a nice excuse for artists on various boards to have fun drawing their board-tans in various sentai suits.

For help, I did a quick template based on Kikaider. I feel if you aim for this kind of old-school, kinda cartoony, art style, it'll force you to control your detail levels. Plus this way anyone can help so long as they have Paint.
Quick design consideration- I think it's best to use a visor for the eyes, like Medabots or something, so we can easily have them emote.
Also, another bunch of questions to ponder
>If we're focusing on making another character, does /m/tan just keep looking like either the original or the "Red Custom"? We don't touch him any more?
>What'll be the name? /m/tan has a very simple name of "/m/-suffix". What for the new one? /m/kun? /m/tter? I've no idea

A toaster belt is great. We do have to ponder though, will it have a point beyond decoration? IE, are we going to design "normal human" designs for them, who then transform into the normal ones?
I think that's a pretty bad idea, btw, and they work best as ambiguous as to whether they're robots or humans in suits

I might take some ideas from yours and from mine and take it further to a more simplified, Ishinomori-esque-manga design, for ease of drawing and to fit with the sparsity of details on /m/tan.

I decided to put my non-existent art, mspaint, and character design skills to the test. I present /m/tan Infinite. This isn't actually anything serious, but I sorta liked the idea of a "mid-season upgrade," so that's what I went for. I hope you don't mind me borrowing your head as a base; there's no way I'm drawing that from scratch. I tried to give him a laser scarf like X from Command Mission simply because I think it's really cool. Also no shading because I suck.
Oh, and you know how /v/ went nuclear? What if this /m/tan went "nuclear" by converting to a nuclear power source?

ok, here's a new pass at /m/anzer. Used elements of my "Getter Robo-Super Sentai" design and anon's "clusterfuck" design. Used Kaiketsu Zubat as the basis for the palette. Since the head was seeming too simple for me, gave him ridges based on Kabuto Kouji's helmet. Thoughts?

Here guys, some more OC. I've been spriting board-tans and all technically based on vivian, but if I ever went to make an 8ch game it'd probably be about /m/-tan and /m/anzer
anyways, I really like these guys and I'd like to make more oc of them, but I really don't want to force you guys on stuff, so let's discuss some more ideas, shall we? Please?
/m/-tan should go further into Kamen Rider territory, since /m/anzer now exists to balance him. I'd really like him to have a bike, therefore. What are the best /m/ bikes, in your opinion? So I can try to smash some together?
/m/anzer, being a Super Sentai instead, ought to have a mech. I was thinking to just tip Transformers over and give him a transforming car, but I'm open to suggestions. If he does have a car, what are the best /m/ cars? If not, what vehicle? If he has a mech, how is it? huge, small? I was thinking something you'd see in a Shirow manga, size-wise at least.
How do they fight? Other than martial arts, weapons-wise? Old lore had /m/-tan hold a toaster and using it as a Mega Man blaster, but that feels too clumsy and I prefer the idea of the toaster being their pet. I gave /m/anzer a "placeholder gun" for the pose, but he doesn't need to have a gun either. I'd like maybe one of them to attack with lasers from an Ultraman pose, dunno. Ideas?
And finally, I'd enjoy it if they had a terrorist organization villain to fight. Probably an incompetent bunch, but still. You know, their own Shocker-Black Ghost-Iron Cross Army. any ideas to go there?
I'll meanwhile see if I can recruit any /v/ drawfags to come and help too so I'm not the sole drawfag around. Maybe open a slow drawthread, even.

I meant bike as a motorcycle. Surely from the 80s alone there's enough material to go, no?
I freely admit this is pretty much me going on autism unleaded, but I really do like drawing this stuff, and do wish there'd be more people that'd get involved, if only to counter-balance me. The more it's a one man show, the more autistic it gets.

This is not what I have seen. It is true that some /v/irgins have problems with getting used to a weeb board though. There are also many outsiders and spergy /pol/ users hanging around on /v/ you don't want there or at least shouldn't welcome. That is the better reason to not outright invite people to this place on /v/. Mentioning that 8chan has a /m/ in a thread about Mechgame is the smarter option.

I'd post /m/-tan way more if he had some usable images.
/v/ and /vr/ use their board-tans all the time because they've got tons of reaction images involving them. Everything with /m/-tan seems to just be sketches and drawings of him. There are some pretty well-drawn ones, but you'd never post them outside an thread specifically for /m/-tan.

>Best /m/ bike
Kamen Rider W's bike was pretty cool, what with how it had the three diferent back ends it could change into
>/m/anzer's vehacle
I think a range of assault vehacles would be pretty cool, like in Metal Slug
The Slugmech from 5 looked pretty cool Despite how shit the game was
Either way, it should have a QT 3.14 waifu ai in it, like Dolores
>Fighting style
I'd image /m/-tan would be more hand-to-hand focused as he's more kamen rider now, but also have his bike transform into power armour (very minimal, not that much bigger than himself) to keep that mecha element to him
/m/anzer on the other hand would be the inverse.
He'd probably use a blaster but wouldn't be great in hand to hand as super sentai is more about group battles than solo. He'd likely favour a mech more than anything.
Both, would be improved with a single word, though.
Gattai
If /m/anzer's mech is roughly the same size as /m/-tan's bikearmour, they'd likely just merge. If it's noticeably bigger, the bike could form a cool weapon depending which module it's in
>Villainous Organisation
halfchan, obviously
Maybe they try and raid 8chan constantly with rediculous children's cartoon tier schemes.
Moot would be the head of the organisation, but his journalist girlfriend would be his 'second' in command, while whispering commands into his ear.
