Derby entry comments for Derby #668: Life in the Style of Anime

Rules for this derby say no cats…

Thanks everyone!

Great job, man!

SICK!

This design was a collaboration between myself, my daughter, and my daughter’s best friend. They live and breathe anime, and go to Comic Con in anime cosplay.

The girl’s head was heavily based on an original sketch drawn by my daughter’s friend, and my daughter helped with critique and suggestions as I worked on the design, and even took control of the graphics package to help try to get one of the hands right at one point. (If this design ever makes any money it will be shared with them as collaborators on the design.)

Very cool!

Thats an awesome style!

This put a smile on my face. Love Avatar.

Beautiful art!

Trying to sneak such a good one in! Amazing!

Hehe this is super fun love the expression

Im a sucker for great typography. Nice work!

By law, all anime must include tentacles!

Having been to Japan, this is pretty much exactly how they advertise. Great job!

So much pretty! I’ll be picking one of these up for sure :slight_smile:

awesome !

Loving the depth of field!

For the record, this style was WAY out of my comfort zone. As a result, it was a real effort, and I almost gave up on it a number of times. But I pushed through, with some sage advice from simic, and I’m pretty happy with the outcome.

Regardless of how this entry performs, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself. :slight_smile:

Flipping gorgeous palette and shading there, Mr S.

you wouldn’t know it! epic effort
