Megaman / Rockman Fan Art - Acrylic on Paper 29x42 cm

Probably my favorite video game character from my childhood. As a kid I used to spend hours in my bedroom drawing Megaman bosses and stages, making explosion sounds and filling the paper with lines that represented laser battles until the paper was a mess.

This design was only intended to be a sketch, but it started to escalate when i decided to add some colour just to see how it would look like, I then continued on the lights and shadows until i ended up deciding that I would have to give this the treatment it deserved.

Not two days ago I disassembled a computer that I was planing to fix. The motherboard was exposed so looking at it gave me the idea for the background. The planets where added later to give the background a feel of depth. There are also some space backgrounds in some stages, but I can't remember which
ones.

Background, background! I spend a week looking at it and occasionally retouching it, being very meticulous. Another week was dedicated just to the helmet repeating the same process, looking at it, making small changes, leaving the room, coming back and so on.
This is the first painting I worked with using a mirror. So what's the deal with that? when reversing a drawing or painting it exposes all the flaws, I don't know why this is but it helps to anticipate and correct the errors.
