This artiest is already tagged as an anime style (so far the only one i think) so why are you re using the artiest work and calling it anime when its already acknowledge?

To be fair, that's not a WotC art piece, but one commisioned by Paizo. It's from Dragon #324 (Oct 04), pg. 58 in the article "Chilled to the Bone" and the beastie is a "Black Ice Golem".

EDIT: It's by Udon Crew, Paizo commissioned them very often. WotC just re-used it.

Cheers, LT.

to be fair, i would like to see more work like this in d&d books. ROLW-FTW

Because I believe the challenge calls for 3 examples of anime art, not 3 examples of anime artists.

I don't see it that way. if your pegging the art, your pegging the artiest as well. they are all the same example

Of the most recent three, I can see the anime influence in the first two, but not as much in the third. At the very least, the facial expression on the flame guy is a pretty classic manga "really angree/frustrated" expression. Of course, there is a heavy influence on the guy's work from traditional D&D art, but I will acknolede the anime influence in these two pictures. Of course, this is the same artist who gave us the crazy anime tiefling, so I suppose it isn't a big surprise. Amusingly, I think the person to the right of the flame guy is supposed to be a girl, but is drawn like a "feminine" guy would be drawn in an anime, down to the pose and expression.

Also, the Ice Monster and Elf picture was made by the Udon Crew? I guess that tips the balance pretty squarely into the "anime-influenced" category. Making comic books based on Japanese anime and videogame properties is their main gimmick. It isn't pure anime-style by a long shot, but it is heavily influenced.
 


Your art looks like the good stuff to come out of Disney.

Since disney style and anime style share the same roots, I guess you cna say it looks like anime. You do pretty good work.

The Marvel Mangaverse Black Cat.

"The series depicts an alternate Marvel universe in which the characters are drawn and portrayed in a Manga-like style."

Yup. And my point is that there is quite a bit of cross-over.

Most of the comics pictures were done for Crossgen Comics, which was itself an attempt to mimic the success of Manga. Much of the art of certain series (Meridian, Mystic) was intentionally anime-esque.

I'd peg it as more Charles Vess (The Raven Banner, Stardust, all manner of awesomeness) more than anything.

Great work!
