Description
Something a little different. I've never been asked to do anime characters before. I warned the client that they wouldn't look much like they did in the movie and he was ok with that. I was curious myself to see what my take on these guys would look like. Turns out...they look like this.Prismacolor and Copic markers and watercolor paint on vellum bristol board.

Thanks. Just a classic montage format like you see on movie posters and whatnot. They're not in the same space, so the scales are different.

Nice! Very intense depiction of the characters and the conflict between them. They still look recognizable as the characters from the anime/manga. Good job on the details--the rubble, Tetsuo's drug pill, etc.

Your technique is so top notch. Are there any plans for another sketchbook? I really enjoyed the first one and I'm more than willing to shell out the cash for your awesome art.

F'kin LOVE Akira!!! Classic. Fantastic job Chris, my only thing is i wish you had drawn Tetsuo with the arm going all crazy n junk. I love when you apply textures and I'm sure you would have blown us away with your rendition of it.Β

Thanks. Yeah, that would've been my choice as well, but he specifically asked for the robotic arm.
