Yes, it can never replace the original Seven Samurai, but I love this show produced by Gonzo. The designs rock, the fighting is well-choreographed and there are mechs in this odd little Asian universe.

This show is not available yet in the U.S. as it's still running Japan. wooo! (Which means, I do believe this is one of the first S7 fanarts produced in the U.S. hehehe. Yay obscure anime!)

This is actually two 8x11 pencil sketches put together. I wanted originally to do it on one panel but it felt way too cramped to me. I won't spoil everything in here for you -- but I included what I felt were the appropriate principal characters.^_^; It's another one of my group pieces. I seem to not be able to get away from group shots.

There are some issues with putting two pieces together, which I won't get into. I'm not a neat lineartist so I went with the airbrush soft style of coloring as RandomEdward suggested.

I might go back and tinker with some small color issues and if I can think of a better background, I'll change it.

And now to decide whether or not to color some existing pieces or go off and sketch some more obscure anime shows! (whee!)

have you ever cged using airbrush?
i think that would work well this piece.
your lineart is too rough and sketchy, i think, to be a crisp professional looking cel.

Yep. I can do a soft shade with airbrush... still cleaning up lineart and trying to figure out if it's worth it in this case to try and reink the lines within Painter or Photoshop.
Thanks for the input!

THat is AWESOME! I love this show. They are doing a beautfiul job of it and I think you did a beautiful job of capturing everyone in it as well. ~applauds~ Well done!
:icons-girl:
Yay! someone else who's seen this show. BTW - did full-view show up for you? (I keep getting the evil x box. :( )
:icondooters:
Unfortunately I got the big X too. But I could see it's prettiness in the smaller version.
