Description
Snapman.exe is a creation for ~joka3 's contest, going on now. The object of the contest is to design a NetNavi for a MegaMan Battle Network fangame in the works. The winners get their design put into the game as a playable character!There is a lot more this submission then just this illustration (I made separate illustrations for the NetOp and the moveset Snapman has, and I did several perspectives). I opted to not post them up here on Deviant Art because I didn't want to give away too much of this character before the contest is over. Well, OK, that and the fact I made this character as a tribute to Steve Irwin AKA the Crocodile Hunter (RIP dude), and I didn't want to risk any flak for the NetOp being based off the famous wildlife preserver.
Not much else to say. If you're interested in taking part in this contest yourself, find joker3 in Deviant art and ask about it! He's looking for more entries!

He's an environmental hero that educates and proactively helps to protect endangered environments and species! This Operator is inspired by Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) and they do similar work.

And I'm sure he would be found in the equivilant of Austrailia in the Battle Network series known as Toralia. (The country that is based off of Austraila by Higure-San)Β

Yes indeed! ... Thanks for theΒ comment, though I do not know precisely what you are enjoying about this concept.

That he is a Crocodile/Aligator navi for starters...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, we need more crocs in the world. Love those reptiles!

And who should he be voiced by?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh gosh, I have no idea. I don't know voice actors. He'd need to have a gruff, but down to earth demeanor. This is a serious navi, but he holds a gentle tone to those things he holds dear. Anyone who could pull off that kind of attitude would suffice I guess.

I think I will tell you when I think about it.

Thank you! I tried to make the concept interesting. Glad you like it.

I could feature him in my web series, if you like. credit will be given to ya. Plus I like how NT Warrior is slowly going towards X style for animals.

I suppose that wouldn't be a bad thing. Sure, you can put him in a web series. Can I get some information about the project so I can see what he's getting into?

It's MegaMan Network Chronicles. taking place after the anime MegaMan Nt Warrior Axess. Lan is grown up but finds out he has a sister, she gets megaman, other friends of his and new heroes and villains come in. its a fan series, but the stories are being worked on. My partner is the creator, but im helping her expand it.

Ahhh, Ok. I suppose it would be alright to have an appearance or mention of Snapman.exe in there. It's kind of you to help someone with their story. Best of luck to the both of you.

The design is well balanced! Based on his name, his jaws should be the main feature - which you've done nicely. The teeth are arrayed in such a unique way that I keep admiring his jaws. The alligator motif is a nice touch. I just feel that it could be less mechanical, and have a little more semi-organic touch to it. He looks a little towards a reploid than a net navi.

Thank you for your feedback, and dropping a comment.
I never felt much of an organic feel from NetNavis; I've always kept in mind they are digital beings and therefore mechanical/artificial in nature. In my opinion, the fast majority of the NetNavis looked really synthetic to me, so guess that's why I let go the technical aspect of design. Also, being a crocodile (not an alligator, hence the pointy snout and the jutting jaws and green coloration - but that's not really a big thing) have a lot of armor plating in real life, so the more robotic appearance fits for that reason as well.
You bring up a very good point though! Yes, I do draw Reploids much more then I do NetNavis, so no doubt that reflects. Thank you for catching that. I' hope I remember that flaw the next time I draw a Navi.

Oh goodness, I need to work on my animals! Looks like it's elementary schooling for me again.
I do apologize, I didn't mean to word my comment in such a way. I'm in no way an authority on Net Navis. Yes, I strongly agree with you that the net navis do look synthetic. I guess why the piece felt off to me was the lack of that "full-body leotard" look. But, then again it's probably because my sense of navi design has been saturated by that common design trope for them (which you see everywhere here on dA). I forget that net navi's can be designed by the will of their creator.
Personally, I'd like to see more Navis from you! As well as reploids, now that you mentioned it.

Oh geez! You don't need to apologize for anything! You made a lot of good points in your observations; such comments are always welcome! I just felt the need to explain my artistic decisions is all.
Hmmmmm, I have not seen too may of DA's Navi creations, so I have to take your word for the full body leotard look. I can only agree that a lot of official human designs use the trope, so I can imagine it being popular among fans too. I, however, fancy myself a non-human design enthusiast, so that's what I usually do.
Anyway, thanks for your reply! If you want to see more of my designs, I'd suggest looking at my Concepts sub gallery; I have a bunch of black and white drawings of Reploids in there of my own making. I should do more Navi work though; I really don't dabble much in the Battle Network universe.

Hey there, got some news for you:
www.facebook.com/2536885679969β¦
Sorry for taking so long
I hope you don't feel offended by my slight change of Design/Style.
Not too long and gameplay will be up on YouTube as well.
His Trailer-Opponent will be CentaurMan.EXE
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh wow! It's been a very long while since I heard anything about this! Great news indeed! I'm glad this is still being worked on.
No worries about the slight change in design; to be honest besides the shading I can't detect the changes at all! He still looks excellent and true to his concept.
I'll look forward to the YouTube video and seeing this guy in action. I hope he stands a chance against CentaurMan.EXE.
Thank you for the update. Good luck on the game design!

And here we got the trailer:

Have fun watching your creation duke it out!

XD I will never get tired of seeing this video. Ever.
I'm trying to get over the rush of seeing my design in a game. It's a feeling unlike any I've felt before; pride, happiness, and disbelief all jumbled up into a fuzzy ball. Such an amazing thing to see....
The creators of the game did an amazing job of realizing my character in digital interactive format; he's exactly as I hoped he'd look. and seeing him face off against such a neat opponent too.... I can't stop smiling. I couldn't ask for anything better. This was a wonderful thing to come across upon sighing in to DA.
Thank you for sharing this video. Hope the rest of the game ends up being as awesome as this!

Perhaps a passing resemblance.

I have! 
I hope Snapman here won't give you too much trouble with the coding.

Glad you noticed I put this up, joka3! Sorry I didn't get your permission; I rather forgot when I submitted my entry by e-mail. I guess this could be considered free publicity for your contest? ^_^;

No problem at all! actually I have to thank you for helping our game be known by more people!

Interesting... Nice design. Feels like it would fit in the 20 years later stuff that Patch might have to deal with.
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe so. I'm glad you like the design!

I take it he won't be using any bladed wheels in any form?
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh heh heh, nope, no Wheel Gator inspiration here. He does pop up from under the panels to bite though!

Yeah, looks to be a real doozy too, with every Navi character in the entire series in the game (I think... (I don't remember seeing Zero in the list.But he was a virus up until the end of the game he was in, so maybe he doesn't count). Looks to be a complicated game with lots of options.
