A little something for a friend.

My friend Heat Man, of Planet Mega Man fame, has had a much overlooked characters named Estuans, a special Reploid designed by Doctor Cain, for almsot eight years now. Yet he's almost never been drawn.

So, to thnak him for all his support over the years, I had the lineart for this drawn by at 'great personal expense' to bring this marvelously diverse character to the future.

Not only has he slewn off his visual origins of the Robot Master Dr. Cain cloned his personality from for his study of Reploid psychology, but he's now finally taken a step forward, and we've taken the oen final step necesary to make him as cool as other modern Fire Elemental reploids.

We made him black. Flizzard and Fafner have nice tans, but this is full on 'sanka.' Not only does abandoning the old stereotype that all reploids are white make me feel all warm and fuzzy, but it really suits the character quite a bit.

I'm sure won't mind another tall, dark handsome reploid to fantasize over. You ladies can never have too many of those.
