Mega Man NES Faithful

by teppyako · 2026-09-29 · Skins

Not a new concept at all lmao. Was in a bit of a Mega Man mood and was browsing some skins. I decided I wanted to throw my hat in the ring and make one trying to replicate the style of the original NES sprite from 1-6. Big thanks to Doomsday1993 and Paper_cut for their own versions of the skin as they were great inspiration. Doomsday1993's skin was great as a base for the face, gloves, and boots. Paper_cut's skin was a major source of inspiration for the shading and use of black for shadows to stick to the original NES palette. This would have taken a much longer time to complete without their work, check out their profiles and other skins they've made! The Spriter's Resource was a tremendous help as well as the sprite sheet for Mega Man III and Mega Man V were the direct reference materials used for the side and back angles to try to stay as close to the original games' style as possible. Finally, Lospec was essential in getting the NES color palette to directly grab colors from for the skin.
