Here is the third robot of the MM9 set, and the most popular by far; the amount of fan art I've seen of her even before the game was released is staggering.

Although the mermaid look is fairly predictable, Splash Woman looks pretty good for the first female boss of the classic Mega Man series (if you don't count the Copy Roll from Mega Man: Powered Up). If Tornado Man's design has a subtle reference to Harpuia, there is a more apparent similarity to Leviathan here, due to the trident and the helmet's shape. Still, her fighting style is fairly different and her weapon isn't ice related, so she manages to be unique in her own right.

Very, very nice! The lighting on the trident is really impressive.

The helmet was indeed difficult and that's the best I can get it to look.

The sprite already has 16 colors, I don't have room for tones of purple. Changing the tones of blue would affect the entire sprite and determining the palette was troublesome enough. A purple hue on the white parts would also contrast poorly with the blue ones.

Looks pretty good, and her size is probably pretty good too.

However, her helmet is facing a different angle than her head. And the "plumage" on her helmet isn't too accurate either... too wide. It looks like a hard part to do though (I'm sure you must have messed with it a lot), so I'll see if I can find time to mess with it an show you an edit over MSN or something.

Also, I'd recomend trying to work some purples in there. The staff is technically suppose to be purple, according to the art, and I think of think a purple hue to the whites would look nice.
