Drawn as part of a poster for JAFWA (Japanese Animation Fans Western Australia), the anime club I go to. They were having a poster competition... in which I believe I'm the only entrant so far, and we're already well past the deadline.

Full poster here

There'll be extra text (where, when etc) once I know what they want me to write.

^^ This actually didn't take me as long as I'd thought it would. Two of the three characters I'd never drawn before, and you know what? The hardest to draw was still Naruto! Aaah! You'd think I'd have gotten the hang of him by now! Ichigo from Bleach was probably the easiest... the bleach art style's fairly simple I guess. He really does have a good glare going there.

Finding references for Motoko (Ghost in the Shell) wasn't fun... Pretty much all of her costumes are insane (o_o; I mean, her character is cool. Her clothes. Are. Not.). So I decided to go with her outfit from the second opening... Absolutely impossible to find pictures of. I had to download the opening just to get references! ^^ At least it looks kinda neat.

-About 7 hours drawing time, (9 if you include hunting for references and screenshots to use, and doing the rest of the poster)
-Inked and coloured in Photoshop 7
