OLD GALLERY

There was a time when I tried a first version of the Characters page and it was going to get all the MM characters. But studies didn't let me complete the job, inspiration for more comics and different stuff came up and suddenly that section fell in a long stand by period. I just know that I learned a lot doing those old images.  I'm sure you haven't seen many of them cuz most of them were only in the spanish version of my site ... So let's see what was in my wacky mind in those days ^_^

	Ok, this one never was in a Characters section cuz is too new for this set ... around Dec/99. I was going to put it in the home page but the design was gettin too much time (time that I haven't) so it never came up ... Now it's here ;)	27 KB	460x422
	Hell yeah! The first version of the characters section came up 01/Jan/99. That means these images are from the ending of 98, the first days of my dear site =) Here we have Rock and Roll, my fav couple of the original series.	21.2 KB	325x239
	Rock in an scene of Fire Man vs Tengu Man.	10.6 KB	298x245
	Another image of Mega Man. I was obsessed with sad eyes. They don't look so sad anyway.	6.33 KB	262x326
	Ugh, X is very angry here! BTW, X kick asses	20.7 KB	213x221
	Proto Man also came up in that old Characters page. Ha! I hated him in those days ^^. Don't tell anyone! Months later, after Comic 4, I liked him a lot. I'm quite inestable!	15.2 KB	280x401
	In those days Bass wasn't so popular in my mind :P But I loved to work in this image. And sometimes I change my mind about a character when I can draw him/her cool. Anyway, it's got some annoying mirror problems >_< Ah, practice, practice!	35.6 KB	325x508
	Bass again! After seeing some manga scans of this guy now I like him a bit more.	14.7 KB	294x262
	And Mega Man's nemesis, Dr. Wily was there too! I loved this image. Ok, the earth is a texture loaded from Photo Paint, but the final effect was great, uh?	31.2 KB	504x299

In Apr/99 after some moths of hard work I ended a set of Robot Master images supossed to be the beginning of the Robot Master subsection of the old Characters page. Phew! I guess I was sure I would be able to end the 64+ Robot Master database with original images of everyone ... and not just one image for each RM, I was thinking in two or three!  Oo. Well, I never had time to end that job but the good part is that I learned a lot of effects with those images and you should be able to see the difference compared with the above set. These images only appeared in the spanish section and now it's time to see them here. Don't look for translated version of the original spanish pages where these images were stored cuz they don't exist. Let's just say that those pages were filled with "lost for good" fiction =_0

	A Metal Man banner. I don't know about Capcom's Metal Man but I loved to draw my version of  this guy. I liked a lot of MM2 Robot Masters as you will see in the next images!	26.4 KB	600x213
	A close up of Metal Man.	10.7 KB	138x179
	Metal Man in full action!	44.1 KB	395x364
	Full body Metal Man! This guy rocks! And don't say "Where IRA heard that Metal Man is cool" Let's say that I liked a lot of "currently non popular Robot Master in the web" before I would know that internet existed. =_0	17.9 KB	195x382
	And Clash Man is another of my favs! I use to call him with his japanese name just cuz I played Rock Man 2 and no the american game. I am not too worried about the "real name" topic :P	14.9 KB	212x205
	Full body Clash Man.	20.7 KB	156x363
	Ah, this one is quite interesting! It was based in a fiction that I had in my mind tons of years ago that I might read the word "fan fiction" on the web.	32.5 KB	350x313
	The bad ass Quick Man. I always loved the music of his stage. Overall, he looks cool!	14.1 KB	195x263
	Again the sarcastic Quick Man. Yeah, I customized him a lot ^^	13.7 KB	265x352
	And again the irresponsible Quick Man. He only cares himself. Have you seen Hitoshi Ariga's Quick Man? It rules ^_^	47.7 KB	300x348
	The big Air Man. I like a lot this guy. I don't know how tall he is, but I like to make him tall.	25.1 KB	295x419
	Air Man blowing away! This image rocks!	37.5 KB	330x450
	And Air Man stage music is one of my favs too. So much that I started to think that Air Man played the saxo at the beginning of the theme ... Funny idea =)	16.5 KB	215x280
	Ok, get serious! Air Man and Mega Man ready for a big battle.	44.9 KB	345x400
	The monster Napalm Man. One of my favorite war machines ... Too bad he was so easy to beat in the game :(	5.35 KB	211x132
	Anyway his ultra cool armor was enough for me :)	35.8 KB	397x362
	And again the full body beast! He's deadly in my mind.	29.5 KB	238x360
	And Tengu Man is another of my fav killers. Again too bad he was so easy to beat in the games. And again his cool design was enough for me ^_^	21.6 KB	310x232
	I see him as a deadly fighter!	38.2 KB	304x352
	And again Tengu Man is ready for action.	25.7 KB	295x337
	Tengu Man rules the sky!!	61 KB	502x350
	And this image was supossed to be the opening of the Robot Master subsection. IT'S BIG! I was very happy when I could do the floor effect. ^_^ Bye bye to the Apr/99 set!	106 KB	900x1200
	Months later, in Aug/99 I made this image with Fire Man and the "Girl with Hair of Fire" =D I couldn't resist the idea!	69.2 KB	430x580

Yeah, I never had the chance to end a lot of projects in my site mostly cause I had a double life: artist and engineer student =/ Anyway the small free time that I had, I used it to draw. You might say "Wow ... is a big set of images, I can't draw so many images!" It's ok. I also can't! It took months! See the dates of the images ... this site is rather old anyway. I didn't build it in a week Oo So, be patient and just practice. And if you have even more free time to practice that the time I had, you can reach any level even faster!
