I got nostalgic...

So, I drew a sketch of an arcade game from the 80's. Along with R-Type, Capcom's Side Arms took most of my quarters (or 100wons in korean...).

I tried to design them from my memories... And now that I look at it... it looks a lot like the Dragonar mechas... Hm... Well, considering that a lot of the enemies from the game itself were from Gundam, I am not surprised. I forgot when the game came out though... I think it was around 1985... Hm.. My memory fails...

Side Arms was truely a unique shooter for that time. At first glance, it seems like just another side scrolling shooter with typical Capcom, 1943 power ups (suto, three way, laser, etc). But, the most unique thing about the game was that in two player mode, there is a power up option where if you take it, you and your buddy's mechs combine. And one of you have to control the movement, and the other had to take care of the shooting.

I tried to keep it boxy and angular as much as possible... All in the 80's mecha design glory~!

WIP1: Sorry for a slow update. I've been pretty busy at work... Here is a slowly but surely updated "coloring" of the Sidearms mech... i feel a shamed calling it "rendering"... since it's a very quick slap on coloring... But, here it is...
