Part 1:
The History of
Triple M
Before Trip le Before M and C was created or planned, there were no characters, no series, no madness, no Multiverses, only artistic creations based on the personal tastes of a creator . However, everything changed when the first leader of the triad was casually created one afternoon in 2016, marking the beginning of a franchise full of strange stories and characters. This being is known as Manolo .
Manolo was created to represent the anger, seriousness, and impatience his creator felt towards his surroundings. But over time, he acquired other external psychological characteristics, such as firmness, sarcasm, determination, and great intellect.
Manolo 's Redesigns
Manolo 's original design , created in early 2016, had a somewhat cartoonish appearance. His robe covered his entire body and featured a black "M" on his chest. The area covering his head was pointed, revealing only his red eyes. His scythe was of medium size, not very sharp, and had a simplistic design.
Manolo 's design It's entirely based on death, the Grim Reaper, or whatever you want to call it. The reason for its design is that its creator always associates this character with gloomy and sinister themes, such as death and the underworld. Furthermore, since the creator is constantly annoyed, Manolo represents that pent-up anger.
Some things that were later removed from this version would be the emotions of sadness, disgust and love (which did not fit the character), and the fear of spiders (nobody knows what the creator was thinking at that time).
Manolo 's first redesign , created in mid-2016 and throughout 2017, continued with his cartoonish appearance. In this version, his hands became a more prominent part of his expressions, the lines forming the M on his chest crossed , and the area covering his head was rounded. Furthermore, the sickle increased in size, became sharper, and its colors darkened.
This version of Manolo had the most illustrations and contained the most extra features, such as fire abilities, dimensional portals, and power auras. It's worth noting that the Manolo of the Oratiolea Multiverse It has a design very similar to this version.
As can be seen in the various images, the creator noted each of the adjustments he would make for most of the drawings; therefore, the next redesign of Manolo would take into account all the corrections that were written in this version .
Durante el tiempo de creación del primer y segundo rediseño de Manolo, sucedieron dos cosas curiosas con el personaje (Pueden o no ser datos relevantes para la historia de este).
La primera curiosidad es la primera imagen de todas las cuentas sociales del creador (Gmail, YouTube, Facebook Muerto), la cual era la cara de Manolo dentro de la oscuridad. Esta imagen fue el primer y único dibujo hecho por el creador virtualmente. Con el pasar del tiempo, esta imagen sería cambiada por el logo oficial de Triple M and Co.
La segunda curiosidad es la creación de una variante dimensional paródica denominada como ManoLamp. Esta versión de Manolo fue creada por Gaticus gracias a una broma interna de Triple M and Co, la cual relataba que Manolo parecía una lámpara por su zona circular en la cabeza. Al igual que la cara de Manolo, este dibujo fue realizado virtualmente, pero con la diferencia de que el creador no realizó este dibujo.
Manolo 's second redesign , created in early 2018, took into account the corrections that were written in the previous redesign, achieving an improvement in certain structural aspects without neglecting certain established characteristics.
Unlike the previous design, this version of Manolo didn't have as many drawings. However, each drawing included a description detailing the emotion, the outfit, and some interesting facts. As extra bonuses, this redesign also included alternate costumes, such as a fire state and a Christmas outfit.
On the other hand, we have the first redesign of ManoLamp . The head area was triangular, and the M on his chest was orange with a touch of red. Thanks to this redesign , ManoLamp became an official character, no longer just an inside joke; therefore, he became the first official dimensional variant in all of Trip Le M and C o.
Manolo 's third and final redesign (to date) , created in mid-2018, is the version with the most changes. The improvements in this version are entirely physical, so his psychological aspects remained the same.
This version has a better structured and more relief head area, the body is larger and more detailed, its limbs are hidden inside the robe (except for its tail, which sticks out from a torn part of the garment), it has a small pocket where it keeps Skelepen , the Sickle is much larger and heavier, the M on its chest is a little bigger and some souls float around it.
Furthermore, just like Manolo , ManoLamp underwent its third and final redesign with significant visual changes. Now, its body is based on a desk lamp, the head area has the same proportions as its original dimensional variant, the light source is replaced by an eye, it has no legs, and souls float around it.
Manolo fue el primer gran paso del desarrollo de Triple M and Co. Este personaje fue la cara representativa de este mundo durante sus inicios. Pero con el pasar del tiempo, el creador comenzó a sentir una insatisfacción por parte del personaje, debido a que Manolo no representa la totalidad de todos sus aspectos y emociones. Además, el mismo personaje se sentía solo al ser la única creación que existía durante 2016 y mitades de 2017.
Therefore, after all these setbacks, the creator decided to invent a new character to accompany and complement Manolo on his extensive adventure in a world that was still under construction , managing to create a being with positive and friendly attitudes without resorting to exaggeration. This being is known as Manu .
Manu was chosen to represent the tranquility, patience, and creativity that his creator expressed to those around him. But over time, he acquired other external psychological characteristics such as loyalty, kindness, empathy, and vast knowledge.
Manu 's Redesigns
Manu 's original design , created in mid-2017, had an appearance that attempted to approach a realistic style. He had short hair, glasses, a blue and white striped scarf that covered his entire mouth, and a blue sweatshirt that bore the first Triple logo . M and C o , some greyish trousers and white socks.
Originally, Manu was based entirely on the creator 's "real appearance" thanks to his looks and characteristics; in short, the character was a kind of "self-insert." However, starting with the second redesign, the character's design moved away from the highly realistic and self-inserted style its creator had given it, while still retaining certain features, such as the glasses and scarf.
For those curious about the background of the drawing, the creator had to make a fantasy room for an art project, so he placed Manu in a kind of forest with furniture (He got a good grade on the project).
El primer rediseño de Manu, creado a finales de 2017, tenía una apariencia que se acercaba mucho más al "Self-Insert" que su diseño anterior. Tenía pelo corto, unos lentes con cristales redondos, una bufanda que cubre la boca y un polerón (La parte de la cintura para abajo no se podía ver).
La razón del porqué este diseño era tan "Self-Insert" se debe a que el creador tuvo que realizar otro trabajo de arte, donde tenía que autorretratarse con las cosas que más le gustaban, por lo tanto, el creador incorporó a Manu debido a su enorme parecido. Esto causo la creación del diseño más insertado de todo Triple M and Co.
Como han podido apreciar, no hay tantos dibujos de Manu si lo comparamos con Manolo, y esto se debe por 2 factores. El primer factor sería la diferencia de sus diseños, pues Manu posee un diseño más complejo y Manolo posee un diseño más simplista. El segundo factor sería que Manu se utilizaba como referente en trabajos escolares del creador, a diferencia de Manolo, que se utilizaba como la cara representativa de la empresa.
Manu 's second and final redesign (to date) , created in mid-2018, is the version of the character with the most changes. The improvements in this version are entirely physical, so his psychological aspects remained the same.
This version has long hair with some spikes, glasses with rectangular lenses, a kind of scarf fused with a bow tie and a necktie, a jacket, sweatpants, black sneakers with a white star and a large M located on the back.
Furthermore, this version possesses a creature within its body that manifests as tentacles protruding from its back. Currently, there is little information about this being, but it is known to reside in theAmanolía Multiverse alongside its host. It is worth noting that the Manu of the Oratiolea Multiverse does not possess this creature.
Manu fue un gran acierto para el desarrollo de Triple M and Co, debido a que este personaje invita a seres de otros mundos para que conozcan ciertos proyectos de la empresa, organiza y ordena varios archivos, crea diversos guiones para los videos y estudia comunicación audiovisual para aprender sobre el cine y sus derivados, logrando obtener recursos como cámaras y micrófonos.
Sin embargo, a pesar de estar agradecido con el enorme esfuerzo que Manu realiza, su creador continuaba con una pequeña insatisfacción, pues ni Manu, ni Manolo representan sus emociones maniáticas y esquizofrénicas. Además, el creador sentía que este mundo se volvería bastante serio con las personalidades de ambos personajes, por lo tanto, el creador inventó otro personaje para que represente toda la locura de este mundo, causando el surgimiento de uno de los seres más lunáticos de esta franquicia. Este ser se le conoce como Manolete.
Manolete was chosen to represent the aspects and feelings of madness, entertainment, and strangeness that his creator expressed to those around him. But over time, he acquired other external psychological characteristics such as tolerance, randomness, cooperation, and enormous curiosity.
Unlike his colleagues, Manolete 's design was the most complicated to create, as the artist didn't have a fixed idea of how to represent him. This can be seen in the first design of Manolete , which you can see below:
Manolete 's Redesigns
The original design of Manolete , created in late 2017, had a style somewhere between cartoonish and realistic. He had an afro, a collar covering his mouth, and eyes with no detail. The entire area from the neck down was not visible; therefore, a full body was not designed for the character.
The creation of this design was rushed from the start, as the creator wanted the character to have its final appearance as soon as possible. In the end, the creator was disappointed with the result, as the design didn't suit him. It's worth noting that this design was created at the same time as Manu 's first redesign , so we can say that, at that time, the creator was going through his worst creative period.
Fortunately , the period of creative lack for the creator It disappeared quickly, as the final design for Manolete emerged very soon.
Manolete 's first and only redesign (to date) , created in mid-2018, is the character's redesign with the most changes. Unlike Manu and Manolo , it's the first design that doesn't retain any qualities from its previous versions. The improvements in this version are entirely physical, so the psychological aspect remained the same.
This version has long hair with some spikes, better head anatomy, a full body, a sweatshirt, sweatpants, wool shoes, and a medium-sized M located on its chest.
Thanks to this version, the creator finally felt he had created the definitive design for Manolete , which He quickly became the embodiment of all the madness that exists in this world. Furthermore, this version brings new additions to Manolete 's character , such as his coffee addiction, interdimensional travel, and reality manipulation.
After finishing the creation of these three characters and making numerous design changes, the creator took a long break. However, he left Manu , Manolo , and Manolete in charge of the creative control and development of this world while he was away. Upon assuming this temporary role, Triple M began to assemble a vast group of bizarre beings and creatures, which became crucial to the company's identity and essence. This group, composed of numerous characters from different worlds , is known as the Company .
