Description "Traveling in these circumstances, I feel as if there's a wall separating us. A wall that doesn't allow mingling of human and Proxy, or of a human and an Autorave infected with the Cogito Virus."

-Re-l Mayer from Meditatio XVI Busy Doing Nothing
*******************************************
Another fanart to keep this gallery alive.^^ *waves to everyone* FULLVIEW please!

Ergo Proxy is probably one of the most under appreciated series of recent years. Sure, it's not one of the best but it certainly is one of the most unique(a sci-fi mindfuck, as someone put it ) It ranks up there with Ghost in the Shell: SAC and Paranoia Agent on my list of anime I'd watch over and over again.
What makes me love this series so much is the interaction between the characters. (if you have no idea of what I'm babbling about, go watch it. NAO)

The personalities of Re-l, Vincent and Pino reminds me sooo much of my own characters- Sam, Lex, and Mia. Even their relationships and interactions with one another hit close to home. The episode mentioned above, Episode 16- where they're all basically well, busy doing nothing is my absolute fave.

On a last note, if I ever had a daughter I want her to be like Pino (she doesn't have to be an android, tho)

I wish I had more time to color this, but hope y'all still like!

Great inking! I like all the different techniques you used for the characters. ^_^

man, I totally miss this show. It was the best anime of 2006 for me, along with Haruhi and When They Cry. Since then, there hasn't been anything good except for Gurren Lagann... *sigh* But Manglobe, the same studio that did Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy, is coming out with a new show this year! Hopefully it'll replace the hole in my heart that Ergo Proxy left... XD

By the way, this isn't inked. It's just pencils darkened in Photoshop. ^^

Reklamo is one of those few bands that aren't trying to sound and look "cool" or "astig." They're cool and astig because they're out there playing a unique style of their own, a proverbial fresh air if you will. And they're having fun while at it, too

Love it. You've deffinetly captured their personalities with the poses and expressions.

Just started watching Ergo Proxy and I'm already hooked. Rea-L's my favourite. There's not enough female characters in Anime as realistic as her.

TheBloodEmperor In reply to ??? [2008-05-24 10:20:49 +0000 UTC]

About the characters in Ergo Proxy. I share the same interest specially on that episode where they were stuck on a snowy place...thats where characters' personalities were explored much deeper through Mayer's observations.

I also like this anime due to the artstyle and unique concepts. And I like mindfuck stories.

I believe these types of stories will always be left out coz what always wins are what the general audience loves and what the stereotype appreciate.

batangbatugan In reply to TheBloodEmperor [2008-05-24 13:46:31 +0000 UTC]

But then I think that's the charm of a series like this. It has a certain exclusivity audience-wise, if you will

I've only seen half the series, but it's so well animated and the storyline is crazy as hell.

I like the way you drew Vincent's face btw.

You should watch the whole thing Especially the filler type eps

Vincent is one of the more unique characters in an anime(then again everyone in EP is unique!)

This is awesome beyond words!!
Ergo Proxy really needs to be put out there for people to see. It has certain unique elements to it that are very lacking in other animes. This series is so great, I bought the box set on eBay (it's the only series I have wasted money on). My dad thinks it's pointless because he can't understand the philosophies embedded within the storyline and characters. My big brother LOVES it, though, but he stole my box set =="

batangbatugan In reply to MissShortie [2008-04-29 11:12:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The show's appeal is not for the average anime viewer, so its obscurity is understandable. But I prefer it that way The fact that Manglobe even greenlit this series even though they knew they're making a big gamble makes the series even more unique.

I guess your brother REALLY loves it
