Is a much better title than "Smirk's old scraps". And the only reason I'm calling it workshop is that I might get back to making some more sprites later on.
But for now, all I have is some old robot master sprites I made around 2 years ago.
So in chronological order and categories.
Original Work
Original/First Prototype, Urey Sorrow

No, I didn't know much about coming up with a good, limited and consistent color scheme back then. Luckily I learned from my past mistakes and I have a better design for this character, with a color palate that is easier on the eyes.
Fan Sprites
1-Bounce Man
http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/065/0/3/Bounce_Man_8_bit_by_BlazingMetalStranger.gif
One of my 6 robot masters (there were 8 but I decided to convert 2 of them into their own persona). Basically a fat pogo stick with GalaxyMan -esque limbs. I'm not sure what I was thinking with the pose, just felt right at the time. Oh well, I'll fix him someday along with the rest of his automaton brethren.
2-Spin Woman
http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/072/0/b/Spin_Woman_8_bit_by_BlazingMetalStranger.gif
2nd of my first generation RMs. It's a ballerina, and though she is one of my, and apparently a lot other's favorite RM in a megaman forums called RPM, I fear she'll just be the femal equivalent of Top Man. Except she jumps more often and runs on a wind-up key...and spiked feet.
3-Disc Man
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/087/8/2/Disc_Man_8_bit_by_BlazingMetalStranger.gif
3rd (sort of, I came up with other RMs before spriting this one) Robot Master. I'll admit I based his legs on Spark Man. Though I didn't notice I put a bit of Sword Man and Galaxy Man (He contracts himself into a giant disc and tries to ram Mega Man after he has shot out three discs) till I finished spriting him.

7-Gauntlet Woman

Because Boxer/Boxing/Fist woman/man was too predictable a name for this RM. Plus there was a high chance of some one else already coming up with this idea for a Robot Master. I also made her as short Ice Man, more or less.
Aside for the sprites I used for the animation, I didn't really add anything else to her sheet.
8-Sky and Chu

An old artrade that was for a friend of mine at DA.
9-All RMs and some remakes in a go, and some minor remakes.

In order from top-down and left to right:
Bounce Man 2.0, Spin Woman 2.0, Defender Man 2.0 (was based on your typical Japanese inspired Super Hero).
Bounce, Spin, Defender, Whip Man (who I just couldn't get right in 8-bit form for some reason), Disc Man, Disc Man 0.5 (who just looked weird with a human face), Gauntlet, Shredder Man (Paper shredder, yes) and Disposal Man (based on the Recycling Bin) and Disposal Man 0.5 (Who is ugly as an 8-bit sprite and was supposed to be based-off of a garbage/disposal truck).
And that's pretty much all I have sprited...oh yeah there's a Dr.Oni Slick/Dr.Jazz as well but I just don't like it.
0-Dr.Licks-his-finger-evilly
http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs43/f/2009/124/7/e/8bit_DrSleakOni_animation_by_BlazingMetalStranger. gif
My first actual 8-bit sprite. and I don't like it that much aside from the licking.
So then, I might update this thread with some more sprites eventually. But I won't make any promises. Hope you enjoy looking at some of my sprite work and I hope you'll enjoy my artwork just as much (if not more).
