"Soldier for the Surface" literally means "robot" in CS

Still, nobody knew about their robotic identity until they were told so by those who knew.
Misery certainly blew up some robots.

Curly is a robot herself and knew this even though she had amnesia, but you meet her after Booster revealed your identity anyway. Chaco also never gave a comment about Quote being a robot, even after some fun in the bed
Misery refered to Quote as a soldier when fighting against Balfrog, but she doesn't ever recognize Quote, only compares him to himself 10 years ago as another person.
The Ctulhu also refer to Quote as a soldier from the surface.
Wow. That's what I get for my fuzzy-based memory.
And... Ah, I just found out why I was confused about Chaco.
Although...
While Curly was after Booster, my point was that he had nothing to do with her finding out.
I still think that Misery knew, though. We atleast know that by the end of the game, she did, when she says, "Hmph! So even a robot can care for the life of another."

Misery figured it out before the fight with Omega in the Sand Zone, could be wrong though.

Before fighting Balfrog:
We meet again.
Do you remember me? Indeed, in the Mimiga village...
I hadn't noticed before, but...
Aren't you a soldier from the surface?
I wasn't aware there were any left.


She only acknowledges Quote's capabilities as a fighter at the Omega fight:
I see Balrog failed in his duty...
Hmmmm... You look like quite a fighter. But at this juncture, you're proving yourself rather a nuisance.

She says that Quote reminds her of a robot she fought ten years ago, which by chance was Quote himself (Before getting teleported to the Labyrinth).
So you're alive.
You remind me of the one back then.
A tough little robot just like you...
I can see confronting you directly just makes things complicated.

Actually she said this in the last fight against her:
I used to consider you merely an out-of-control robot, but I see I misjudged you.

BTW, wasn't my point that nobody figured out they are robots just by looking at them?

-e-
Wow, lots of Misery quotes :rolleyes:

I just thought they were headphones at first. For communication.

Would you believe that I never noticed the antenna the first time I played.

Kazuma: What is that green pixelated line on the side of your head.
Quote: ...
Kazuma: Are they earphones?
Quote: ...
Kazuma: Can you even talk?
Quote: No I can't.
Kazuma: Um.. okay

lol :D

Not as bad as me. For the first ten minutes of the game I though that quote was Sue, and that's why Kazuma was messaging him/her.
Hard to tell gender when it's 8-bit.

I didn't know who Sue was at the time, but I knew that Quote was not a girl.

Out of curiosity... what format did you save that in? I highly suggest you use *.png, as the compression quality looks horrible on that.
As typical-beginning-'anime'-eyes go, they're not too bad, though it might do to try drawing them a bit smaller, particularily the pupils. The thing I've noticed when people try to draw eyes like that is that, unless done correctly, they just end up looking cheap and flat ( as we recognize that unless the eye is sticking out a very good deal, there's no way they can be spheres and still fit inside the head if such a large area has little to no noticable curvature ) .
You've got the tube-arms going, and might want to try studying your own arm to see what the shape is like - there's a muscle on the back-upper arm which forms into a 'ball' when the arm is outstretched, particularily for the less muscular, the bones of the elbow, the wrist is far thinner than the rest of the arm, etc.
You should also try the hand in different positions. I've always found that a hand just off of profile - with the fingers mostly lined up but skewed slightly - is the easiest way to draw hands, for myself, and it ends up looking more natural than 'flat hands.'
Lastly, aside from what I said in my last post, you could try working with a more realistic drawing style. As you get better, you can learn to see how the original 'anime' style was developed, letting you better know what looks 'right' and 'wrong,' which is really most of what art is, as far as making lineart goes.
I've tried to mostly avoid certain aspects of cartoon styles, and have found that when I'm trying to find a way to simplify down how to draw a certain character, I'll often end up with what looks like other well-known methods, which, while not what I was trying for, is what a lot of other people seem to want to do.

Very nice, I liked how you added some of the game background features to the picture (like the red grating that is there for no real reason). Although I must say that the koron in back looks a little...creepy. I doesn't really look like a mimiga, but more of a normal cartoon rabbit. Otherwise, great job! :p

EDIT: Now everyone is using those smilies.
