Mirageman

Another of Hadrian's old fanmade Robot Masters, this is the leader of the Ominous Octa - Mirageman. As the name implies he's capable of making illusions of himself and making himself invisible. He's the only one played straight; the rest are just jokes.

A ways back Hadrian actually made "epilogue versions" in pencil, but only ever did Disc and Mirage. Both were kinda different from their 8-bit sprite counterparts, so I leaned into the sprites, but tried to retain the spirit of the pose. My original sketch was all sorts of wonky, though. So many things were off. It took a while to massage everything so it looked right, but I like the final result.
