Description

Another drawing from Otakon. After doing a bunch of shameless sell-out drawings of popular "anime" stuff, I thought I'd do a drawing of something that I actually really like.

So...As y'all already know, my favorite* animated movie is Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira. (It's also one of my favorite comics, yes. )
So, here is young Mr. Tetsuo Shima--either the story's villain, or its tragic hero, take your pick--from the story's climactic "mutation" scene. Awwwwwww, I love ittttttt....

Here. Enjoy some wonderful music from the soundtrack, by Geinoh Yamashiro-Gumi.

*Yes, this is my favorite animated movie. Yes, it's Japanese. There is no correlation between these two facts. It's a great film because Mr. Otomo is a very talented man, and because he got a lot of money to spend on the animation for his vision. Ethnicity doesn't have anything to do with it.

that movie was sooooo delightful. The direction and cinematography were miles ahead of what's seen in japanese animation nowadays.

Man, this thing looks so much more dramatic framed in your grey on here. It just leaps off the page. Totally gotta slap that into a frame with a heavy matte.

BludOgre Says:

Love it!
This is more action packed than what I have seen you draw lately.
Need more action!
Demand more action!

I was just about to say, you must've drawn this after you came out of your own self-induced coma from drawing stuff too unorigional. I love that "I Need a Band-Aid" line made me LQTM <-laugh quietly to myself ....I'd say LOL but I feel LQTM is more honest then LOL.

And yes, Akira is the best thing to come out of Japan, ever.... of course, that's excluding Miyazaki's films... that's just not a fair comparison... I think they're about even though.
