| @Catpaw and @omnimalevolent1 Thanks for the input. It's hard to find something that represents a whole subculture and those were the first two objects that came to mind. XD That cat ears came up because nekomimii seems to be something that is popular amongst a good amount of anime fans I know. Onigiri is just beacause it is food from the culture and I find people who love anime are also interested in Japanese culture for the most part. Now an other idea arises though. What would you say depicts an anime fan? What would be the first thought? It's like I'm holding a focus group lol. XD Someone mentioned that ninja stars would be a good choice. Perhaps a huge sword or some other kind of weapon. A mecha? |
| Well, it's really difficult to summarize the concept of anime fan with 2-3 objects. I'm not sure about the ninja stars. It's true that mainstream anime has been based on Naruto for some time, but i feel it's now in a declining phase in favour of some other newer anime, maybe Bleach? I'm not sure, i don't follow shounen anime since a long time, i'm from the generation of Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon. Back then, popular anime was all about yellow crystal balls with red stars and magical sticks... and don't forget Pokemon. I think you should consider anime outside the "what's popular now" that dictates objects that evoke an anime image. Ninja or samurai are definitely not an anime-only thing, they're prominent in Japanese movies (just think of Kurosawa) and drama. A thing that's always been strictly related to anime is mecha, you don't find it anywhere else and it's been there since the mid 70's at least, so i think that's a great idea. Another thing might be mahou shoujo, but i know almost nothing from this genre. Maybe someone else who likes it can help us? :) Kemonomimi are also anime-specific and the most widely known are nekomimi, so that's a good idea too. The difficult thing might be how to draw it. If you're drawing a mecha, why not put a cute neko girl on the other side? And maybe some cute-faced onigiri flying around between them? Or writing the A of "anime" with an onigiri? xD Just some ideas, let us know what you decide for ^^ |

| I like the idea of a cat girl, also consider doing it without images. It looks good by itself with just the text and colors. |
| dun really have time to watch many animes currently... but have been sketching rather much lately, so time to show off (as this thread says =P) |
| You're great. Too bad that you ruined it with #4, I had a "why is everybody angry?" joke ready =P |
| Good! I like the girl in pic 3, who is she? Or is she an original character of yours? In the last pic i like the absent mindedness of the first and the badassery of the second. |

| Really great drawings, Hel. I think the first is my favourite, I love how you did the hair. |
 |
| @xen20: sorry?? :P @Catpaw: the girl in the third pic is just some random character (by me).. (the guy is supposed to be Oga Tatsumi from Beelzebub, but I think the doesn't look like him so much) on the pic it looks like they are related, but actually I didn't intend that, they are taken from some paper where I had a couple of random sketch on ^^ but aside of that girl all characters are from mangas.. in the first three there is Oga Tatsumi from Beelzebub, in the fourth, there he is again as well as Sanada Yukimura (twice) and Sarutobi Sasuke from Sengoku Basara, and on the 5th pic, there is first Gintoki from Gintama, then Han Shinwoo from Noblesse, then Hijikata from Gintama (at least it's supposed to be him :p) and the last one should be Oga again ^^ and thanks @ all =D |

| I actually did think it was Oga when I saw the third pic. So thought the girl was Hilda. |
|
| yea, the girl I drew there has not the same but a rather similar hairstyle to Hilda (at least not something completely different). I had to think about Hilda as well, after I finished those sketches ^^ but as said, she's just some random, no name character I happen to draw.. have been drawing another Oga sketch ^^ trying for different expressions (more or less..) |
| I guess this can be classed as art |
 |
haha havnt drawn in years but gave it a shot the other day |

| @Lotus: Ha, thanks^^* Here's some more recent ones |
| wow awesome stuff guys, hel i really like the first two in this group, that first one reminds me of me when i wake up in the morning :) |
| @bunnicat: thx =) your "kind of old one" is really cute :3 the others are nice as well :D @bbmello: thx =) the first one should be Gintoki from Gintama and the 2nd Han Shinwoo from Noblesse =) I drew this one once.. kind of a self portrait (not regarding the looks but regarding the mood) which has a similar expression I think ^^ |
| Damn me and my stupidity, i thought you were a guy! I'm so sorry >///< The portrait is good ^o^ |

| haha, hard to guess with faked name and drawn profile pictures I guess :p thx =) |
| I draw a little bit. Unfortunately the scanner really bleaches this one out, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I was mainly trying to get the hair to work, and it's not perfect but... it's better than usual. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/pockycrusader/Haley2.jpg |

| Lumi, is this the wine that I've seen in Christmas street markets? I've tasted spiced wine like that and it's freakin' awesome!! I love it more than the original thing. |

| Due to the season, I thought I'd share some of my old winter photos: |
| Great pictures! The frozen cherries one is great, but i like the first two too! I've never seen ice taking such forms as in the second one before. The first one is stunning and looks so professional! Are those cherries? How is that the tree has still them on? |

| Nice pics!! I think those are rowan berries. |
