If lack of consensus proved that anything wasn't "obvious", then the Interweb itself would prove that nothing is "obvious" (including that nothing is obvious, obviously). :lol:

Nice try, though! :D

Cheers!

Actually, I'm of the opinion that very little is obvious, which explains the social sciences, natural sciences, and art and literary criticism.

How about this, from the Rules Compendium?

At first glance I thought "Yep, could be in some manga or anime with mediocre artists". Then I recalled the heaps of bad comic books I read way before manga made its way to Europe, and I have to admit it could just as well be from one of the thousands of mediocre wanna-be superhero books that flooded the comicscape 25 years back.

I'm thinking it's more BD than anime. There are some elements of the character design on the elf that might be loosely construed as anime (mostly her eyebrows), but overall it makes me think of BD.

You're violating the rules by not telling us what you see, but whatever. I'll take a stab.

- There's an anime / manga trope that powerful effects cause rocks to slowly rise, and here we see small globules of ... something ... slowly rising.

- Cleverly incorporated "movement lines" -- the movement lines themselves aren't particularly manga, but their magnitude may be. That left-hand slash is occupying the whole width of the panel, and implies a bunch of off-panel movement.

- The ice critter's inking seems manga-esque. The bold black patches seem atypical of Western comic book art.

Cheers, -- N
