Description In early 2005 I was asked to design the look for a comic book project based on Mattel's character, Max Steel. Not some fan art, nor independent comic, this would had been an official comic book to be included inside the toys!

Unfortunately, the project was canceled and the designs were never used. It was a pity, because Max Steel is a very cool character.

Something curious about this drawing, is that a friend of mine who was devoted to graffiti and practice it under the nickname "Steel", made his own version of this drawing in a wall. Although his version was a little bit too cartoonised to my taste, he did an splendid job with it. Unfortunately, we could never take a picture of his graffiti, and it was destroyed.

A principios de 2001 recibí el encargo de diseñar el look para un proyecto de historieta basado en el personaje de Mattel, Max Steel. No un fan art, ni cómic independiente ¡esto hubiera sido un cómic oficial, incluido dentro de los juguetes!

 Desafortunadamente, el proyecto no prosperó y los diseños nunca fueron utilizados. Fue una lástima, porque es un personaje que me gusta mucho, y hubiera sido divertido dibujarlo.

Algo curioso de este dibujo, es que un amigo que se dedicaba al graffiti, y que solía usar el sobrenombre "Steel", hizo una versión alterada de este dibujo en una pared. Aunque su versión estaba muy caricaturizado para mi gusto, fue un muy buen trabajo, pero por desgracia nunca pudimos tomarle foto, y el graffiti fue destruido al poco tiempo.

Este diseño de Max steel siempre será mi preferido, a mi parecer el nuevo diseño hace que el personaje se vea mucho mas joven pero se destaque menos ya que se parece también al primer diseño del personaje Ben 10 y a muchos otros protagonistas juveniles. A diferencia del primer diseño no hay muchas variaciones en el traje, este de hecho cambiaba de ropa y tenia accesorios adicionales al muñeco. Sumándole el detalle de que los juguetes perdieron mucha calidad en cuanto a pintura (como coleccionista de juguetes fue lo primero que noté) y articulaciones, hacen que de verdad se extrañe al Original.

¡Estoy de acuerdo! Tambien prefiero al original; el nuevo Max se ve algo enclenque (pensé hacer algun dibujo bromeando al respecto, pero no quise iniciar una discusión de fans nuevos contra veteranos).  No sabía que la calidad de los juguetes había bajado, aunque al verlos lo sospeché, se ven algo frágiles.

I've seen it. To be honest, I don't really think much of it. The new Max Steel is rather annoying, to be honest.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
The original costume is the best, I would like to see it again in the original colors (I don't like the white version).
Greetings, and thanks for comment!

Yup, I loved that original suit too <3 You're welcome!

Did he really have shoulders that wide? XD I know it's been a 'few' years since I've seen it, but.... XD

If I could draw humans, Max would be one of the first...

Heya, and you're welcome again! ^_^

Hmm.... I'm kinda writing a fanfic (or attempting to, I've got some ideas) for Max, so I wonder whether I should post up a small fight scene I've just written up (and immensely enjoyed it haha) and let you know so you can read if you wish.

SantillanStudio In reply to RubyDaSquirlz [2011-12-01 02:21:43 +0000 UTC]

You should try to draw him! Never say you can't! I would like to see your version.

I never heard about fanfiction before, your comment made me investigate what is it, and I'm suprised, I don't had idea.

Tell me when you upload it, I'll be happy to read your story.

Here it is! [link]
I wasn't sure whether to have a 'mature warning' filter on it, but I put one on anyway heheh. If you think I don't need one, let me know.

Enjoy!

I guess I could at least try the face haha. Hmm, I'll put it at the top of the list, he'll probably end up being Christmas-y. XD

Do you understand fanfiction now? I can try to explain what it is. It's quite popular.

I guess I'll upload it into my scraps today then and link it to you. I have no idea whether people'll make fun of it ('Cause I'm paranoid like that haha) or whether anyone will know Steel anymore.
