This here is Aries's response to so many people losing their copies of the Group Photo, which is done by Aries.
To which Aries says, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!!!!
Anyway.

Done in 2002, Aries had it in his head to do it in his burgeoning Chibi form and completely on paper, which kinda worked out, and kinda didn't. This is, of course, the cutest Bar Photo we've had yet, but Aries hates it for a number of reasons, mostly along the lines of scale and stray lines. This was before Aries got it into his head to compile it digitally.

Again, before Aries learned how to compile digitally. This one is a hell of a lot better in terms of Chibi style, and it marks the first appearance of Themed Bar Photos! This is the Our Favorite Anime Characters photo, but it failed for a number of reasons. It was intended in the first place to be colored, but because of Aries's horrible lines there, it was obvious that would never happen. Also, he never got to put in titles on the Patrons, or even a good banner. So it was kinda fuzzy as to who was whom.

Now THIS was a success, perhaps the best Bar Photo Aries has done to date. After the Second Bar Photo, popular demand pushed Aries into making the Bar Photo a seasonal event, a tradition that still holds true. The Spring 2004 Photo was the first to be compiled digitally. Every figure, even the Bar, even the gargoyles hanging above it, all of those were done on seperate pieces of paper and compiled together in the computer. THIS was a serious success, one Aries is still proud of to this day. It's the Dark-Gothical photo, as you can see, and shows Aries's temporary reversion back to doing these purposely in black and white (though a Dark-Gothical Photo in black and white makes artistic sense to Aries).

Aries is unsure whether to call this one a failure or a success. It was a little of both, Aries guesses. Because Aries was moving out of his house at the time, Aries really had to rush this. It too was compiled digitally, and was originally meant to be colored by Ai. However, circumstances beyond both of our controls foiled that, and we couldn't get a fully-colored Group Photo out in time. So we decided to just put the names in, and field it before people began yelling. It's the Ninja Bar, as you can see, and it's very, very huge, again, due to Aries moving out of his house and putting his computer into storage. Afterwards, a friend asked if he could borrow said computer, and formatted the hard drive so he could put Windows XP on it. Luckily, Aries still has the original drawings, so he could do a Special Edition of this photo if he ever decided to get around to it, but this one's still a thorn in Aries's side.
