MML2 concept art (Final Digouter's File)

[atomiccrusader]

My sister gave me the Rockman DASH 2 Final Digouter's File book for Christmas, and paging through it, I noticed a handful of some interesting unused concept art. I am starting to post the art on my Tumblr (atomic-crusader.tumblr.com), but I figured you folks would appreciate some of the interesting art as well...



Namely, these two pieces of Rock in a casual outfit. Much more detailed than his clothing in the game's prologue, they certainly are fitting for someone who works on an Airship like the Flutter. There honestly isn't much difference between them outside of the hat and color of the pants, but this is an unique look at what could have been. Personally I like them (the left design is my favorite though), even if it does kinda look like Rock is channeling his inner Pokemon trainer.

So what do you folks think? Do you like this design better than the outfit in game? Or was it a wise decision to scrap these? 

Also, I'll probably update this thread with other peices I find In the book, but at the moment this is all I was able to scan.

This is way better than that ridiculous apron was. I'd like to see what the right one would've looked like with the hat, because I like the gloves better than the Hot Topic wristband. The pants on the left one also look cooler. Great find!

I think it would have been interesting for him to have clothes while he's not digging. This is a pretty good look for him.
I can't remember, but I don't think I've seen anything else showing his arms like that, neat find post more!

I dunno. I love the doofy apron, but this looks like a pretty cash money outfit too. I'd love to see if Capcom would make this outfit a reality with a Figma or something.

i bought this book a month ago (from ebay in fact) and its actually a pretty rare book. nearly over 20 years since it was published in japan.... love the concept art section. that vollnut whit a cap and a jacket picture looks like he wearing some kind of outfit simillar to what roll wears. a mechanic suit probably.... i had a dream about him wearing this in an possibly legends anime or something haha!

I really love that design to the right. It's got such a cool vibe to it, and I'm always a sucker for fingerless gloves. I guess the only question is: why isn't the jacket blue?
