OLD GALLERY
2

We have a lot of stuff here. Old images from the beginning of Fire Man Lives and hidden images that were here a long time ago and never showed before because I hadn't a good place to do it. Not all this is crap so take a look and check my improvements.

Let's start with the Fire Man and Mega Man related images.

This is one of the newest images in this set (28/Sept/1999). It was my first serious attempt to make a CG, ... cause I discover the meaning of the CG word just before I made this one. CG means Computer Graphic and artist uses that name a lot. Hmmmm. 20 KB 278x259
A real old one! This image was in the home page at the end of 1998. It's got a lot of mirror errors, but I liked it a lot at those days. ^^ 24.5 KB 216x295
This one cames later, at January 1999. I drew the full body Fire Man first and then I pasted it on the image above. Ahhhh, my first steps managing objects. 32 KB 293x400
Hey! This thumbnail sucks but the image kick ass! Check it, man! 26.3 KB 322x400
This one was in the index page for a loong time. Remeber it? Fat foot Fire Man (Capcom style). I actually don't like fat feet on him. YUCK! 14.8 KB 306x408
This was in the links page for a long time too. It's got cool shadows, but anyway it gets a little distortioned with the mirror. 16.8 KB 225x471
You've seen this one a lot of times. Here it's full size. 17.5 KB 306x370
This is an oldie one and never came up in any page. At last is here. 12.4 KB 212x350

Another of my Fire Man sprite experiments Oo. I cut it and put it on the home page for a while. The design of a good sprite is a hard task. I respect a lot the sprite designers. 2.59 KB 65x125
At least this one looks like a sprite. XD 416 bytes 22x53

My first photo edition on Photo Paint (actually ... the first that I have knowledge). Some objects and canvas efects. I love the look that Shakira had at those years. Again, with no scanner, notning more to edit than others pics :( 29.2 KB 502x272
This is darn old (15/Feb/98). It's a Corel Draw image exported to JPG O_o In those days I thought that C Draw was cooler than Photo Paint ... yeah right! 59.7 KB 640x480
Since I had no scanner in those days I began to experiment harder in Corel Photo Paint with some text and layers. Nice effect, uh? ^_^ 59.7 KB 350x250
I made this one a month later than Fire Man lives was opened. Just take three images of the  Old Gallery and you get the effect. 17.5 KB 484x210
Lara Croft! (Dic/98 made on Adobe Photoshop ... with only a mouse! What a hard task! ^_^ 52.6 KB 400x400
Ready for the starting 1999. A redone of first.gif 10 KB 388x178
Here is Morrigan. I like it but it has mirror problems that I wasn't able to see in those days. 31 KB 287x444
Months later of comics and Robot Masters, I sent this gift to the artists owners of the Pendako Club with all their original characters (03/Oct/99). Thanks to them my CG interest grow a lot. Looks better of what? :D 63.4 KB 524x350

Pen No Suke � Naska, J. K.
An interesting image that shows how fun is coloring an image, but the tedious of changing the colors of the black borders. Ouch! 15.9 KB 600x225

Melissa � Iv�n Rodr�guez Asqui
And a final experiment before my page was one year old! My dear Melissa with no black borders. As Naska said, the image gets an interesting looking ^_^ 10.2 KB 270x353

As you can see ... to draw means practice ... I guess even the Rugrats artists practice a lot to get that strange baby look ��

I could say the last year "I'm good enough now" but NOOOOOOOOOOO ... Now I know that the artist path that I chose has no end (deep, uh?). And this images should prove to you that any artist might became better if he really wants it and practice a lot with effort and passion. Come on, take your favorite hero pic and draw it! At least put the paper on the image and trace it or copy it! Draw it again! Compare it! Look the eyes, the proportions ... do wathever you need to do to became a great artist. Nobody borns knowing how to draw ... or talk ... or programing an algorithm in an HP48G. Just draw what you like always you can.

Hey ... all that sounds again like a Karate Kid lesson XD
