Description
I did up two versions - Daylight and Overcast. I'm curious to know what your guys prefer?This is the first ever Anime I saw. I remember walking into Rogers Video in Grade 7 and seeing this crazy cover of Kaneda holding this massive weapon and his bike. I had to grab it just from the cover alone. I have to admit, the violence was hard to take in at that age but I was immediately desensitized after watching it a few hundred times!
Tetsuo and Guts ugh!
Enjoy!

Sooo beautiful. I love the red tones in this, they're so rich on Kaneda and his bike. Yummy. 6: Always appreciate seeing a good AKIRA fanart!

Yeah it definitely has the cool in it. Ironically enough the cool colors are on the overcast.
Thanks!

This is nice too, I like the overcast version a bit more though, only cause I think it fits more with the gloomy Akira universe.

deadlymike In reply to Csyeung [2010-11-11 04:06:45 +0000 UTC]
Yeah I think everyone agrees that the yellow pops out a lot more but the Overcast version really depicts the mood of a destructive aftermath.

i prefer this one, the bike's awesome redness pops out more

deadlymike In reply to TheWoodenKing [2010-11-11 04:07:20 +0000 UTC]
I agree with the red. I guess it all depends on what kind of feeling needs to be captured.

The light does shine extreme! A lot more contrast on this version.

PaulRenaud [2010-11-10 00:31:30 +0000 UTC]
I prefer this one. The sun casts a great moody shadow. Also makes the red/greens beautiful.
Awesome piece BTW

Interesting. That's good to know. The reds and greens do pop out real nice! Thanks Paul!

PaulRenaud In reply to deadlymike [2010-11-11 14:14:24 +0000 UTC]
And I think this beautiful light matches the post-apocalyptic/end of the World feeling of the series best.

It's crazy to hear both sides. I've already learned a lot just from this mini poll.

Sweet.
definitely prefer this version. Colour palette complements the bike better.
For me, Neon Genesis Evangelion introduced me to anime, but once I knew I liked it I started to look for the best. Akira blew me away.
Will always want that bike.

That bike is just classic. No ifs and buts!

BTW, highlights along the bike here, and stylistic touches across the clouds are both wicked.

great work! i prefer this version. the red is so rich and vivid, it really anchors the composition of the image. and the green is a nice pop for contrast. once again, great job. =]
