Homage to 90s Anime

Thu Feb 4, 2010, 8:41 AM
Been reliving my childhood recently by watching a number of bad ass late 80s early 90s anime on youtube, narutowire etc.

I'm feeling so nostalgic I've decided to start work on a bunch of fan-art for my favorite shows/movies from that era, no idea which ones I'll do or how many but I'm looking at:

The Guyver, Cyber City, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Battle Angel Alita, Evangelion, Macross, Ninja Scroll, Tekkaman and more that I forget the names of.

Right now I'm in the slow process of collecting reference images from the net. My drawing skills have been improving lately and I think I'm finally able to do justice to these awesome pieces of animation. Its all in the linework when it comes to anime as cell shading is incredibly easy assuming you understand light and shadow.

I just watched 2 episodes of GenoCyber, man it was more brutally messed up than I remember, people ripping their heads open and spilling intestines and all kinds of gross stuff. Guess that's the 90s for ya, animation even on kids tv was mature and often pretty dark. I'm sure most of the stuff I was watching was either 15+ or 18+ and this was before I hit puberty, lol my dad was awesome.

  • Mood: Wow!
  • Watching: 90s anime
