I have said in some of my prevous posts that I don\'t usually show off my \"better\" artworks in case of some idiot taking credit for my work. I have given it a lot of thought and finally decided to make something good to post on the board.

I had scribbled down some sceches of Duo.exe in my notebook a few weeks ago, the result is this picture:

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v56/SnakemanEXE/DuoEXE2.gif

By saying it\'s \"better\" than the rest means that I worked on it for more than 10 minutes. Actually, the picture took me 3 days to edit due to a bad program.

So there you are. Feal free to coment or ask questions. Enjoy

It looks neat but I think I like the art done on Hardman and Joltman better. I probably am not as fond of it because I remember Duo as a huge beefy robot with a chest that stuck out like a boner in sweat pants. This version looks like he hasn\'t been eating his Wheaties...

EDIT - NO OFFENCE of course. I mean this a heck of a lot better than what I can usually do. I probably couldn\'t do something like that if I spent a year in front of Shi-Painter (I don\'t have Photoshop, only MSPaint )

NOOO!!! Why did i read that spoiler!

I honestly didn\'t know. I just made Duo out of how I see him, and than abstract the older model and intesify character. To be honest, the picture it self took about 20 minutes to make, it was the coloration job that took AGES (hence the \"better part\"). I used a limited Painter Classic on it, but it has lost most of its functions and is hard to use proparly.

Shoot! I have the habit of not investigating games I know I am going to buy, so I had no way of knowing....

Aw, I\'m sorry, I thought you knew because if you think about it... Well I thought you knew.

That\'s a really good picture, but it looks nothing like the original Dou.

Thats pretty good but i know someone who can do better *coughmecough* but i agree its good but it dosent look compleatly the same

You think you can do better? Then do so MOLE, Show us what you can do

listen man
I am not good at putting pics on this site.
I said it was good, and it is.
I dont want a comption ok

Well I don\'t think you should say that you\'re better than anyone else, but if you do, you should at least have something to back it up.

Thats freaking great considering you used a bad program to do it.
I actualy don\'t remember Duo atall.. (oh the blank archieve of Megaman knowlidge of someone who got into it via MMBN) however from what I\'ve seen of Duo he looks like him. The fist for a symbol is a nice touch btw.

Hmmm.... Like I said, it was just a scech. I agree that Duo has a somewhat \"Bulckyer\" look to him. But I like to experiment with the characters. He does not HAVE to look like him, just think about Stone man or Toad man. Capcom abstract and work around the consept theeme around characters. This is not one of my best designs, but it was more the editing that was the hard part.

I actually thought of using a comet, since, in mm8, he was a space cop transforming into a comet as an attack. But it woudnt work as well in a bn game so i used his trademark feature, his large fist.

I thought his trademark feature was his size. The head looks similar to the original though.

i like it as do i to all your work except if you look at it the arm doing the \"clinch of hatered\" if to be put down to his side would be way longer that the laft arm... see what im sayin? whatever dont listen to me. being picky

I thought this was long dead... Oh well.

The Left arm is supposed to be larger. The original character had one small and one large. The idea was for him to cause damage with use of mainly his large arm. Also, like I said, I see it as his main attribute, so naturally, I inhance it

well oh....then i guess that last post i did was a compliment....:) you got it right on then if thats what you were going for. anyway you look at it, it looks good anyway

It looks really cool Snakman...I couldn\'t do that in a million years...Nice job.

Post redacted

More unexpected comments, yay

Well Duo has also appeared in the Power battle series and in the MM racing game (forgot the name). Thanks for the comment Wind, I promise an art update very soon
