hey so i started that newsies fic and this is the first chapter !! lmk what u think please!!! (keeping in mind i havent written fic since that one time in eighth grade, 7 years ago, so might be a little rough!) so im open to feedback but be nice im fragile 🥺 👉👈

the premise is that Medda wants to adopt Jack even tho he is 17 and he is v depressed and angsty and doesnt want to let anyone care about him but eventually he lets ppl in and then the most important trope comes in (found family)

“Kelly?” Mr. Wiesel poked his head in through the door to the bedroom that held eight boys, varying wildly in age. One boy, clearly the oldest, was laying in bed, doodling in a sketchbook. He looked up, surprised.

“Jack Kelly?” repeated Mr. Wiesel to the room full of children. They all looked the same to him.

“Yeah, that’s me,” the boy replied cautiously.

“Someone is here to see you,” said Mr. Wiesel, or as Jack liked to call him, Weasel.

“Who is it?” asked Jack, not moving from his bed.

“No one, if you keep ‘em waiting. C’mon, kid, I ain’t got all day.”

Disgruntled, Jack rolled out of bed and followed Weasel down the hall into a room where a kind-looking woman in her mid-to-late thirties was waiting alone.

“Well, Ms. Larkin, this is the oldest one we got,” Weasel said, referring to Jack as though he wasn’t even there. “I’ll let you two get to know each other,” he said as he walked out of the room without looking back.

Jack stared at the ground. He wasn’t sure who she was or why she was at all interested in him, and he didn’t really care. He was 17 and still in the foster system, and by now he had given up on expecting to ever find a family.

“Hello there,” the woman said kindly as she stood up. “My name is Medda Larkin. What’s yours?” she asked, sticking her hand out for him to shake.

“Jack. What’s it to ya?” mumbled Jack, hesitantly shaking her hand.

She paused as she took him in. He was clearly exhausted. His eyes, which hadn’t left the ground once the entire time he was in the room, had a haunted look and dark circles under them. His hair was rather scruffy, and the old hoodie he was wearing had definitely seen better days.

“Well, Jack, I’m here because I am looking to add to my family. So, if you’d be alright with it, I would like to adopt you.”

“Why?” he asked quietly, not taking his eyes off the ground. “I’m four months from growing out of the system, wouldn’t ya rather get a cute little kid you can watch grow up?” he added, somewhat bitterly.

“No one grows out of family, and everyone deserves to have one,” she replied gently, still trying to get him to meet her eyes. “Lots of people want little kids, but big kids need and deserve just as much love.”

“Well look, I appreciate what you’re tryna do, miss Medda, but I’ve been tossed around in the system since I was one’a those cute little kids, and ain’t no one ever give me a second look. An’ ya wanna know why?” He paused, but didn’t wait for her response. “It’s ‘cuz I’m what they call a ‘problem kid.’ Trust me, there’s a lotta great kids in here that need a family and deserve a chance, and I ain’t one’a them. Ya don’t wanna waste this chance on a loser who’ll be able to get outta here in a few months when there’s good kids trapped in here who could have a real shot.”

Medda gave him a long, steady look. Eventually she spoke. “Jack, I’m not going to force you into anything. You are seventeen years old, and I’m not going to treat you like a child. Family is a choice, and it is a two-way street. However, you should know that I do want you, specifically, to be a part of my family. I think you are a good kid who deserves a real shot, and I would consider it an honor to be a part of that with you and help you any way I can. So, while I won’t force you against your will, I am going to push a little bit- even if you don’t want to give yourself a shot, could you at least give me one?”

Jack stared at the ground for a long time. On the one hand, he didn’t believe for one second that it would work out long-term or that he would actually be part of a family. On the other hand, Medda was a very kind woman, and even if it didn’t work out, he would be an adult in four months. If- when- she realized he really was too much to handle, he could just leave and never come back. He really didn’t have anything to lose here, and he didn’t have a solid enough reason to tell this woman no. So, after a long beat of silence, he gave a shrug. “I guess.”

SWN-002 Wing Man

“That's the power of love!”

Wingman was created by Dr. Wily in an attempt to beat Mega Man in a field outside of battle by harnessing the power of love. Wing Man has flight capability and wields a piercing arrow called his "Cupid Crossbow". Being designed to defeat Mega Man through love, Wing Man has a large board dedicated to unravelling his love life. Similar boards exist for Proto Man and Bass, forming the "Tiny Trio". He'd call them the Big Three, but they're short.

Wing Man likes cheesy romcoms and dislikes Proto Man (for being hard to read). His strong point is his dedication to his task, though he can become blinded by the task at hand and not remember the other couples he's trying to get together.

This took longer than I expected to actually write and get out to share.

With this year’s Valentine’s contest over(courtesy of rockmiyabideusexmachina), I can finally talk about this boy! He was so much fun to make and I’m definitely gonna be using him more in the future. I’ve got a lot of thoughts on him, the stages of his design, and a lot of pictures, so it’s gonna be under the cut.

Now that that’s outta the way, let’s get into the process of Wing!

...I thought we were talking about Wing Man, who’s this?

Meet “Playboy Bunny”, this duality of a Maverick and the first draft of a character for this contest. Usually she’s the sweet Playboy Bunny, a majorly human-like Reploid acting as a performer. However, once you’ve provoked her, she throws off the sweet guise and becomes Magnet Hare, the quick and fast-attacking Maverick with attractive properties.

To be honest, I’m half wondering if I would’ve done better if I had done more with her design and actually gone with her instead. The main reason I didn’t go with her in the end was cause I thought someone else was gonna go with it and then there would’ve been repeats.

I might come back and do more doodles of her someday, refining her design to be less human with bunny accessories and more rabbit/bunny with human-like proportions.

The very first drawings of Wing Man. The only thing I really had down at this point were the general heart-shapes, his name, and his weapon’s name. The one on the left was the first draft, and the right one was a case of “should he actually have wings or nah?”. The name actually came to me when I was sitting in class and I think that’s part of the reason I got attached. The pun name is probably the biggest holdover from Bunny, though another element did come by later…

This is where the magic happened. The front-facing sketch was the first real attempt and trying to figure out what I wanted from him. I knew that he should have a general heart-shape for his chest armor, and maybe his helmet could follow the same idea with one in the center. It took a bit to look through the other Robot Master helmet designs, but I feel like Wing’s looks like it could fit with everyone else’s. At one point I was considering giving him a heart braid kinda like Tundra’s, but I wound up scrapping it. I think it was because I was sick of braids after doing so many for Nahyuta…

Then some arrows! I couldn’t decide whether to have actual arrows or energy arrows, but I feel like the energy arrows make it look more unique. And the first appearance of the bowtie! I didn’t even know if I was gonna give him one at first but once I made the doodle I knew it was gonna stay. Bunny has a bow, too, but hers was just a regular ribbon one.

The collapsible crossbow was something I knew I wanted from the start, because Wing’s not a huge fighter. He will fight to achieve his goals, and sometimes it’s more necessary than at other times, but it’s easier to have it folded outta the way. The “string” of the crossbow forms when it is expanded out, and then he can start firing his weapon.

Also, his boot. Simple enough design. Not much to be said. Same goes for the side profile, I was just trying to get a better feel for his design.

I was debating for a while about whether or not to actually give Wing Man wings. On the one hand, it’d help for the joke of him being a wingman and a wing(ed) man, but on the other hand I don’t like drawing wings because I still don’t really understand them all too well.

The bottom center image was a pretty defining part of making Wing, to be honest. It’s probably one of my favorite drawings/doodles of him just because of the causal nature of suggesting a relationship with someone(and it’s up to you to decide who it is) and Rock’s immediate reaction of fear/concern. I don’t screw around with expressions enough anymore…

I don’t have any versions of this page without color on it, but that’s because this was a color testing page. I wanted to test out my physical colors first before spending too much time digitally experimenting, and I had two main ideas: either red-pen red in varying pressures or coral Sharpie highlighter. By the final design, you can tell which one I went with. I wanted to compare them side-by-side, and the half-and-half wasn’t really cutting it for me. I did a second comparison on the other page(which is gonna be further down this post).

I was trying to get a better grasp on the wings, too, since I eventually decided just to go for it and make it more of a pun.I couldn’t decide if I wanted the wings like on top of the jetpacks or off to the sides, but I went with on top of the jets in the end. The off to the side wings were taken from how Tengu Man’s “wings” are positioned. As for the wings themselves… I was honestly mostly taking reference from Pit’s emotion portraits from Kid Icarus Uprising. I had the image with all of his different emotions and it wasn’t like Wily would be going for complete accuracy how big wings would need to be since, y’know, jetpack.

The color scheme of the wings also changed over time, and I think probably for the better. Layering the colors instead of just making a weird gradient overtop looks nicer(even if those colors could probably use some refinement all things considered). I was also deciding on the weapon “type” for the crossbow, since Megaman’s weapon get picture is on this page. Piercer seemed like it would fit the best, going through multiple enemies in a straight shot.

Designing the ability get was actually pretty simple, which I’m glad about. I wanted to go more off of the Megaman 11 style of weapon get, altering the helmet, arm, and color only, and I wanted to stick to that. I also wanted to keep two of Wing’s more defining elements - his bow and wings - on the ability get, so I moved them from Wing’s torso to Rock’s helmet.

Alongside the ability get, an unfinished battle scene. Nothing too special here.

I tried the color testing thing again, and it was here, I believe, that I first settled on the idea of “hey what if he looked like he was wearing a suit or something” and colored it accordingly. The color on the feet honestly sold me on the left one, because the cherry-red was beautiful and it was just red pen under the highlighter. I was happy with the pieces I had and started to put it all together into the final product…

Every Robot Master needs a pose for their artwork, and Wing was gonna be no different. I could’ve gone for something more dramatic, I know, but I was really really happy how the posing turned out for the one on the left. The smaller one on the right was more for fun and was messing around with some line thickness. There’s also less feathers because I was kinda lazy.

The main reason I have him sitting is because I think his boss entrance, were he to be fought in a typical arena, would have him pulling a Meta Knight and coming down from a high ledge to attack. Saying his pre-battle line, sliding/jumping down from on-high, and with a flourish, the battle begins.

Also I just wanted to draw my boy looking cute. Sue me.

The physical version of Wing sitting(on the left) is what I had initially been going for in color scheme, with a lot less coral-ish colors in the mix. Trying to recreate those colors, however, was a problem, so for all intents and purposes this is what I hold as why he's really supposed to look like. But with a complete physical form, what's next?

...hoo boy.

Trying to make the leap from physical to digital was a pain. I realized after I had essentially finalized the physical sketch of Wing posing that the helmet and face kind of made no sense. I spent a while trying to make it right and nothing worked how I wanted it to so I eventually just moved on from that.

One thing to know is that I basically only work in MS Paint. I don’t have any other digital drawing software on my computer and the tablet available to me doesn’t respond to styluses as far as I can gather. So taking the widely-varying-in-color picture and making it not like that was something I had to remember how to do because otherwise I was gonna suffer the consequences. I knew it had to do with outlines but apparently Paint didn’t want to accept my drawn outlines and would only take ones made in the software. And jpgs were pixel-y, which I forgot since the last time I was extensively using the software.

Once I had my system back, I made the silhouette and digitalized “I’m just sayin” as a practice round of sorts. But with the simple pieces out of the way… the time came for making the whole reference sheet. The pose, the front and side views, the shipping board to serve as a back view, the wings, the Weapon Get, the weapon, and the little character-defining details.

Save states fill most of this folder for a reason. Working with what I had and going over and through everything to make sure I had all the pieces ready, making saves before the background deletion so I would just have outlines, and just hoping that this was all gonna be worth the work.

One of the more… challenging, I guess, parts of the design process for Wing: trying to give him a unique silhouette. Including the wings was, in part, because of this. Most, if not every Robot Master has a unique silhouette that you can look at and say “Oh that’s [name here]” or at least be able to tell them apart. Whether it’s fire, a boomerang, a snake tail, a lightbulb, a weird body shape, or their arms, there’s something to set each one apart. And I wanted Wing to have that same feeling, so if you were to see a blacked-out version of him you could still tell that it was Wing and not someone else.

Without the wings, he’d probably resemble a downgraded Quick Man - which makes sense, considering I was using Quick’s body shape as a base for Wing’s for a more subtle top of a heart. But I didn’t want Wing just to look like Worse Quick Man, so the wings had to stay. The crossbow helps in that regard too, but the wings really set him apart.

This is what I’m talking about. He looks like a generic character without the wings.

Trying to keep Wing in the same vein of design as other Robot Masters was also, I guess, the reason I used the colors I did. Robot Masters typically don’t have too many colors, and didn’t want Wing to be a colorful mess. Maybe I could’ve had another more striking color in his design, but I’m happy with the colors I have. Reds and pinks and white with a skin tone taken from the physical doodles that I tried to have be a brownish-cherry if that makes any sense. Like it was supposed to still be in the red(kinda orange) family of colors but still be distinct enough as a skin tone. I didn’t want to have too many variations on colors, but I do think I could’ve done better on some of the distributions(and holding onto the idea of “stop using so many colors”).

Like I said, I consider the physical drawing to be the true colors of Wing, and the digital can’t quite capture the physical.

...Okay, I think that’s everything I wanted to say. If you actually read through this entire monstrosity of a post, thank you. I do have a full colored version of the "I'm just sayin'" that'll go up eventually because it was fun.

Final post. 🙏

School update?? I finally transferred, and now I’m suffering with 6 classes.

Blog-wise:

Kind of? disappointed I won’t be continuing this blog at this point, shit keeps popping up and I’d rather mess around with other arts when I’m actually free. (literally right after i posted the last one I ended up getting commissioned by 5 people for twitch :/ shitty timing)

I will try to at least doodle him once in a while 😭 😭 (I did an art project for him a year ago or something???? but I lost it, or maybe i threw it away rip) I’m keeping asks around for hopefully future illustrations, even if they aren’t an ask/answer style thing.

Running this blog is kinda stressful somehow?? uAu also when it came to having to know some comic stuff. but it was fun while it lasted uvu.

I DO plan to redo a spideypool piece from ‘16 when i get some current idea’s for other stuff outta my system, it’s something that’s been on my to do all year.

I’ve been apart of a couple zines for the last year and a half so! if there’s anything of that sort in this side of tumblr then I’ll probably be around, or hmu cuz I always miss them lmao.

:v im active on instagram if you want to stick around for crap arts. maybe you can pressure me to make some bitter spooder stuff lOL

peace

#my love for assassin spidey will never d i e #maybe i'll make a tier one day for assassin spidey stuff #for patreon #i haven't done much fanart or art - really - this year #wish i had a final spider to post but i don't otl #it took me 10 tries to log in cuz i forgot my password #i still dont' know it- it justhappened #OH since i plan to get some charms printed for a different fandom I might get a few spider ones as well #that my kick me back into gear

{Chorus: Violet Verigo} You and me don’t see eye to eye anymore You don’t even breathe, neither do I anymore, more Maybe you should leave to the night, ’cause I’m sure You and me don’t see eye to eye anymore, more

{Verse 1: Example} Some people to people, not seeing pupil to pupil Ain’t seeing iris to iris, they’re being futile and brutal Like Cyrus, the virus, a little chance they might shoot you So give ’em laser removal, the whole kit and kaboodle As I sit here with my pen and I doodle Thinking ’bout how all my friendship group quadrupled with rupels And tripled and doubled Then suddenly, I’m covered in rubble They were using me, their puppetry stumble Back in 2012, I probably had 2012 contacts Plus hundreds of contacts, lets start with the long facts My phone book was looking like the Yellow Pages I was spending much of life with so many strangers In one year, I probably had six Ranges And my dealer probably bought herself a few bracelets Went through sick changes, yeah, the shit’s crazy All because I fell in love with 36 chambers Who can blame us? Always tryna copy off inspector debt Now I sit inside my castle, inspecting the deck I got a sun deck, a pool deck, a food deck, who? That you, yeah? That little kid you bullied at school Always acted a fool and tried to be cool Deleted you on Facebook right as soon as I blew ‘Cause all the bullies try and fool you when they ask for favours But I’ll be in Ibiza with a couple ravers Girls, a couple flavours On some wrong behaviour ‘Til my missus landed on my lap, became my saviour Had a couple failures, married Miss Australia Fell and landed on my feet, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

{Chorus: Violet Verigo} You and me don’t see eye to eye anymore You don’t even breathe, neither do I anymore, more Maybe you should leave to the night, ’cause I’m sure, sure You and me don’t see eye to eye anymore, more

{Verse 2: Doc Brown} Bruv, the journey is nuts 20 breh’s upstairs, rollin’ herb on the bus Rhymin’ cyphers with a lighter, we’re burnin’ it up ’05, slow grind, no one makin’ P Verse number 183 but where’s it taking me? Hard to show that you’re a leader when nobody sees ya’ Low exposure, overchievers, you know the procedure I go on believing, proverbial tree in The forest breaking down, did it make a sound? Never special-guested, always second-bested Mental health is tested Clinically depressive, gave myself the message If that’s what wrong with me, that’s tragic comedy Put it on stage, make it an economy I told the world I was a loser and they laughed Now my garden bigger than a fuckin’ park But I still think back to the start Those first flows when there weren’t jokes, I was dirt broke I knew Elliot in the days of Ready Brek and Teletext Never knew where we’d be shellin’ next Nowadays it’s a brave new environment Just for Example, I came out of retirement Netflix, Apple TV, BBC I don’t need to do this, I just love the music I just love the way the beat reacts when I abuse it I just love the way that you assume that I could lose it, foolish

{Chorus: Violet Verigo, Doc Brown} You and me don’t see eye to eye anymore (Stupid) You don’t even breathe, neither do I anymore, more (Go get ’em, Sway) Maybe you should leave to the night, ’cause I’m sure, sure You and me don’t see eye to eye anymore, more

{Verse 3: Sway} Listen, I’ve learned not to take anything personal With the industry for the stuck up squares, you gotta be versatile While they were cutting shapes, I was cutting tapes On the stage where before you went in, you had to circle ’round I heard their doubts but I won Left ’em behind on their bums Still shake it every time I rhyme, try to work it out And if you made it this far into the song then your attention span is long enough for me to make this worth the while Listen, anything we want in this life, we can achieve it (Real talk) It was the eye in my piano that helped me see this But soon as I had the key, I tried to tune in with my peers But because they had fears, they saw my drive and tried to key it Man, I’ve started from scratch so many times Lost a couple of notes and I’ve scrapped so many lines Took it back to Africa when I scrap so many lions That slap me fast, and so hard that they scrapped Simba and {?} Why on earth would you say this when you got four kids? This is science See the kids that want Disney don’t know who Walt is Created a scene without creating a scene, there’s a science I’m not asking for roses, they erode quick First single at 19, had the rap game Covid since ’06 When there were no TikToks to blow quick I’ve been a G before IG, live streams and 5G Ask poisonous poets, I’ve got the cure for anyone home sick Fresh outta lockdown and I’ve been on my Doc’s Brown I lead by Example, there ain’t a door I couldn’t knock down I’m buildin’ an empire, makin’ use of all of these blocks now And I don’t accept cookies, they give me crumbs, I click to opt out So whenever you see this list about who isn’t and who is in the top ten lyricists of Great Britain, you should please remember this Some of the people that create ’em are some of the people that I’ve dissed By not submitting into their system but I’ma teach them Class dismissed, Sway
