Here's my entry for Archie's Mega Man contest. The idea of doing Egyptian paintings for Pharaoh Man is a concept I've had since the Mega Man Tribute that I never got around to drawing. I was about to let it slide when Archie announced their contest, and I thought that Pharaoh Man retelling his role in the fourth volume "Spiritus Ex Machina" would be the perfect context to resurrect the idea.

For those who haven't read the story arc, here's a recap. It was just another ordinary day for mild-mannered Pharaoh Man accompanying Dr. Cossack and his daughter Kalinka to the Robotics Trade Show. He met new robot friends like Mega Man, Roll and Quake Woman, who immediately admired him for his power and good looks. Suddenly, the evil Emerald Spears gang led by the diabolical Xander Payne took control of the show and captured the humans. Although Mega Man and Quake Woman were terrified, Pharaoh Man roused them to action and lead a charge against the Emerald Spears to save their masters.

Sensing the battle lost, Xander Payne took a cowardly escape by detonating explosives he had placed around the building, burying Pharoah Man's friends. Never one to lose heart, the heroic Pharaoh Man used his superhuman strength to clear the debris and rescue those trapped. And so the day was saved with no loss of life, Dr. Cossack was crowned champion roboticist for his creation, and Pharaoh Man had won the hearts of his adoring fans.

And that's what really happened, folks.

There's going to be certain Robot Masters who disagree with this version of events... :iconteheplz:

I find it interesting that Archie decided to introduce Cossack here (in between 2 and 3) rather than the 4 adaptation. It makes one wonder exactly how the 4 adaptation would work...

It makes sense to me. Cossack and his bots were originally good people, so I think it's better to introduce them early to familiarise readers with their backstory before advancing to the MM4 plot - if that's what Archie plans anyway.

Definitely looks more creative than most of the entries I've seen for that contest. You pulled off the hieroglyphic painting look off quite well. The explosion, along with the final panel are among my faves. Awesome pic!

Pharaoh Man always has been one of my favorite robot masters. Beware the Pharaoh power!

Rush too. I'm sure Pharaoh Man thought they were non-entities. :p

"Well, it's sort of approximately how it happened." Archie could not possibly go wrong with more Pharaoh Man

Dude, this is amazing! I really love it. I have to admit, though, I didn't read all the text in the description.
