We have to do a calligraphy project related to contrast. So, I spent a lil bit of time writing down some quotes from Dr. Tenma and Astro, from the 2003 anime :3
The original picture: https://www.deviantart.com/machinegirl-da/art/ryouga-san-is-angry-104031284 all the way from 2008(!) no less!
This is another redraw I've been struggling with for several months, I feel as though there's some stuff not 100% right with it. I like how it looks, but feels like I should do more for it. The constant burnout/art block is not helping either.
Anyhow, here is the current state of the redraw. If I try to do more, I'll only get more annoyed with working on it. Compared to the original drawing, I decided to take a different route with this one. I'm really really pleased I chose this broken glass idea for the background, definitely wanna improve on that plus other things. Anatomy was a absolute pain to do, especially struggled with Drake, skunk and Ryouga... There was actually two other versions I did before settling for this one. Lastly, I'm happy with this rendition of Ryouga. I wanted to capture some of his cockiness/cheek I can imagine him expressing.
Astro Boy, Drake, Skunk Kusai and Dr. O'shay Belong to Tezuka Productions.
Original character Ryouga and art belong to ME. NO STEALING.
(20+ seeking 20+) Longest imaginable long shot, but is there anyone out there in the Astro Boy 2003 fandom who would be the Zade to my Rino? Wouldn't mind if you wrote Abby instead, either. My Rino is trans for the record. I have detailed plot ideas, I match length, and I will kiss you. Please like if interested and I'll reach out! 🔥
Yes it is finally happening, I'm working on an Atlas sculpted doll, so far I've done his face (I have hair wefts that Ill be gluing onto his head to make hairand started building up the armour on the body. Can't wait to share more progress as this goes 😊 ❤️
