LITTLE REBEL STUDIOS · MEGA MAN — CATACLYSM · CHARACTER CONCEPTS

THE CATACLYSM CAST

Twelve characters. Each one began as a hand-drawn sample for a book that never published. Each one ends as motion. What you see here is the pipeline from line, through color, into 3D — and the war the cast was meant to fight.

— THE PROCESS · THREE TIMELAPSES

Three characters. Three pipelines. Every stage from line to render, in motion.

MEGA MAN

Rock before he was Mega Man. The whole journey in one cut.

BASS

Drawn to match the threat. Built to exceed it.

PROTO MAN

Cape mid-swing. Shield up. The original sketch, made to move.

— ORIGINAL ART

Where the trio began. Mega Man, Bass, and Proto Man on paper — before any pixel was generated. Zero arrives later, already transformed.
