Description
I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this piece. I was constantly in two minds about it, even from the pencilling stage, but somehow ended up finishing it.I haven't done any weird stuff with patterns and textures like this for a while.
My prediction: everybody's gonna ignore this piece.

Oo. Very Britpop-retro. Kinda trippy.
...you know, I always had this sneaking suspicion that you were a Bleach fan...

Hahaha, that's not surprising really. The thing I like best about Bleach is the way the designs often incorporate that retro pop look. Taito has great fashion sense! With FanDanGo I wanted to give not just the characters and chapter images a poppy look like Bleach, but to take it further so that the whole comic, every page would be visually unusual and experimental.

Hehe, You know, with patterns on the sword's spirit form, he'd look like Genkutsuou wearing shades HAHAHAHA!
Glad you like it.

I will have to post you one, I dunno if I can sell prints of fanart on DA? I'll be making prints of it to sell at Amecon, so I guess I could send one through the post?

Whoa! This is badass! Is this one of the prints you're going to try and sell?
Also, is there any particular program you use to add the patterns? Because it looks amazing! I'm faving this one.

I use photoshop. The extra patterns and brushes can be found for free on various sites, just google 'hotoshop brushes' or '
hotoshop patterns' and plenty will come up.
Thanks!

I have to say... I like this a lot. I've never even seen Bleach, but this just looks so cool.

Bleach does have some cool retro patternage, though not so much like this. Gankatsuou is an anime with a style a big like this though.
Thanks for commenting!

I like the patterns. The style puts me in mind of your front covers for FanDanGo.
I like this piece. Good work. ^_^
