Rand and Mat in Rhuidean

Just wanted to share a comic I drew of this scene, since I figured not many people will see it in the showcase.

To each his own, but I never envisioned Rand as a prepubescent chipmunk with weird Goo Goo Dolls-like spiky dreads. It's not that I don't like anime... actually, that's exactly what it is.

Nice layout, but I have to agree, the anime style has to go.

I judged a high school Art Competition last year, and half of the kids drawings had the ridiculous big eyes, and stylized hair and clothing of Anime.

I'm so sick of seeing that everywhere, that style is weak.

 

with that said, you do have talent, so keep it up. Just do your own thing.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was that Rand looked adorable. xDDD

I really like this!

I looooooooooovveee anime!!!

 

But... IMHO, WoT is not an anime-type series.

Yeah I think you have some real talent for a story board and a great sense of movement though I have to sort of agree that the “anime” character design leaves the characters flat. Not saying it can’t be done but maybe branch out from the “Dragon Ball Z” and get exposed to some of the grittier series work out there. I watched a wonderful series the other day on Netflix’s about some sky messengers that had a heavy steam punk feel ( I hate I can’t recall the name.) Just saying you have a great talent that looks like all you need is some deeper personalization. But all in all very good.

Some nice work!

 

If you are going to use the Anime/Manga style (and by all means, do so! It's a legitimate art style), try to steer away from the childlike, simplistic looking characters. Go for a more realistic feel, with less exaggerated features (especially hair) and more depth and shading.
