A storyboard artist, illustrator, and comic artist who sneaking the time to draw Megaman stuff when she desires to.
■ Another side account of mine probably for short term.
■ Twitter shortened my username from sarahwarao reploid to SarahwaraoR. :0
■ 25+ years old drawer & fictional character crier
■ English is not my 1st language! Native Malay, conversational English, while beginner in Japanese, Vietnamese, and Mandarin language. Bear with my jumbling English all along!
■ All my artworks are mostly sketches. Working as storyboard artist, sketches are important too!
■ I like Megaman overall, but mostly Megaman Zero and Megaman X. Yet between these two, Megaman Zero wins my heart since decades ago, during pencil paper era.
■ Of course, character pairings (ships) are always there. xD I love certain pairings, but I am a multipairing overall. Enjoying the different dynamics especially, even some rarepairs! So expect random pairings.
■ Drawing Megaman stuff while listening to any Hiroyuki Sawano music (especially robot genre-related) is a must to me!■ Watch out for my propensities:
- Variety of headcanons & different approach explorations
- LOTS AND LOTS OF ALTERNATE UNIVERSES WOOHOO! (Au)
- BL/GL. Non-heteronormative all the way.
- Occasionally angst art & body horror if have mood/idea to draw them (Megaman Zero is brutal if look at bigger picture) so better watch out for them.
- The Four Guardians. Mainly Harpuia. Lots and lots of Harpuia. And Slur EXE.
- Of course, everyone in every fandom has OCs (original characters) in series/game. I have one once, but I gotta revisit them back and probably redo/upgrade them. This, actually depends on my mood.
Note: CP is Asian fandom abbreviation term version of ships, which means “couples”. Please it is not “child porn”.Many of you are probably curious what ships I draw even though I rarely (in occassion) draw shippy arts in this public account. Here are the list of my favourites. The bold ones are the most most favourite ones. There are no fixed position(?) as I am open with anything. Aka I’m okay with switch. I love seeing everyone being top or bottom equally depending on narrative or mood of the character, because I believe it is something between partners are trust each other. Also I’m dizzy about CP name position I tend to all over the place 😂I probably miss some. Oh the struggles of being a multishipper. :"D However, there are NOTPs that I'm uncomfortable with. But that doesn't mean this is an offense to others who like them. Every humans have different tastes and that is okay. I just need to mention to avoid repitition.
| RockmanSeries | Pairing/Couple(CP)/Ship | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockman Zero | ZeroX, ZeroHarpuia, ZeroFefnir, BlissZeroLeviathan, ZeroLeviathan, CopyXPhantom, CopyXHarpuia, Phantom(s), CopyXOriX, HarpuiaSchilt | - I'm uncomfortable on OriX with the Four Guardians and among Four Guardians; as I see them as familial. | Meanwhile, I see Zero and Ciel as best buddies; plus Ciel is underage. Apologies for those who requested. |

AUs(Alternate Universes)/AR(Alternate Reality)/Headcanon Dumps (subject to be updated)
In short, they are all over the place. 😂Long version:
| Alternate Universes | About | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dickinson | Sets in 19th century, Dickinson Tv comedy drama series explores constraints of gender, society, and family from the perspective of rebellious real life poet Emily Dickinson. (Y’all please watch this. I felt so seen) | Besides I self-indulgent on CopyxPhantom ship (major pairing), I always headcanon Phantom has beautiful ways of conveying words and his relationship with death much like Emily, hence one of his spare times is writing poems. Not entirely is same as original sources, more like “slice-of-life everything’s fine but battles are offscreen focus on main character AU” as long as it’s suitable to MMZ settings, focusing on interactions, communications, family, comedy drama, and gay romance. (Emily is lesbian with Sue deal with it. Her poetry and letters are evidences.) For now I redraw certain scenes from Dickinson that I want to explore sides of Phantom that is not work/apathetic-related (especially both funny, heartfelt, and vulnerable moments!) Minor pairings are XZero, BlissZeroLeviathan (Zero’s twin sister), and HarpuiaSchilt. |
| Professor Marston & the Wonder Women | Loosely based on real life Professor Marston and his two wives; the ones who first created Wonderwoman. | Self-indulge on ship AxlHarpuiaLumine, literally transport them to 1930s and making them humans. Except they don’t create comic book characters. Take this as a drama slice-of-life type of AU. Axl is a Professor in Psychology subject. Lumine is his wife, supposedly a Professor but Harvard won’t give them PhD (this’ll touch bits of gender inequality as well same from the film). Harpuia is a student in that same class subject, the son of Xavier Light who is an activist (a bit of Margaret Sanger) and believe in free love (XZero mention only). The three of them met and have unconventional life. |
| The Handmaiden | The Korean film one, an erotic psychological thriller (if you plan watch it, better watch out on trigger warnings: gore, suicide (mention), child sexual abuse, nudity, explicit sex. Boi 1st time I watch it I wasn’t prepared 😭 I thought it was a normal type of historical gay horror theme. (don’t worry everything ended up satisfyingly winning) | Among MMZ ships I think of, again, CopyXPhantom is suitable one. Transport them to 1930s, make them humans, but change a bit of history about the mansion and the “true” heir to inherit the mansion. Weil in this AU of course is a creeper much like Kouzuki in the film. Copy X(Xylan) is Weil’s nephew and prisoner. His late mother is Ciel. Weil is the head of mansion. Phantom, a pickpocket, is hired to be Copy X’s servant. Of course instead Phantom gonna con on him, they love each other instead and enact plan to free from Weil’s clutches. Pretty much the same bits from the film. But get ready for extremely story twist, which ya gotta watch the film yourself. Not gonna spoil. 😆 |
| Pride and Prejudice | Yes that iconic film | I have two versions of this but try to combine them. One is XZero-focused, the other is HarpuiaSchilt-focused. But I’ll try to combine them into one when I have mood to do so. 😂 |
| Ghost in the Shell | Yeah you know that franchise | A bit of same to MMZ except Resistance and Neo Arcadia work together against Weil with addition of robotic hands, plug ports behind their necks, transfer “ghost” thingy, and philosophical. |
| SEA (Southeast Asian) fantasy archipelago | It could be mythical creatures or just based on folktales of the past. | No story set. It’ll be vary depending on mood. So far, it’s about environments. |
| Mythology | Obviously focusing on Harpuia’s inspiration on Valkyrie and Harpy | No story set. It’ll be vary depending on mood. So far I combine bits with Wonderwoman film (on all-women Amazon Island) where Valkyries are women except Harpuia wants to transition. And then either go on adventure or feels repetitive to perform job as a Valkyrie until found a certain war fighter that took his attention. |
| Little Guardians! | My fun stuff children focused! And it varies from one idea to another | It could be Halloween AU, Christmas AU, or Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events AU. |
| Persona 5 | Yeah that Persona 5 game | I have two versions: a) Same as MMZ with combination of aforementioned “Ghost in the Shell AU” except add stylish UI/UX designs, All-Out Attacks, Baton Pass, Showtime, etc whatever that makes 4 Guardians work together with Zero team 😭 b) MMZXA, same a bit of Persona 5 (if I feel wanted to add high school settings) except instead of biometals, they’re masks. Each characters has their own strong-willed rebellion and motivations that awakens their personas. Imagine their Awakening! |

| Alternate Reality | Notes |
|---|---|
| Axl exists/alive after Elf Wars | It could be either align to canon or diverge from canon. It could be either Lumine stays inside Axl or dead. It could be happy or solemn reunion. Depending on the mood overall. So vary. |
| Serenade finds Slur’s body | No story/idea set. |
| Slur is a part of Forte (kinda like Lumine inside Axl) | No story/idea set. |
| PreMMZ 4 Guardians-centric | More of diverge/distorted from canon. Could be about early days after their activation still new to Neo Arcadia and all, or experienced ones doing their environment restoration jobs or missions etc while having normal life outside of job. No story set sadly but the idea is there and jumbling all over. Exploration it is. |

Do you wanna help this artist who had just resign (almost this 🤏🏻 close to get laid off) from storyboard artist dayjob with Bachelor Degree student debt still RM5,511.50 (around $USD1,170) left to be paid?
