Paul added to
the back of this one...
"Thought
you might like this cheesy pic/scan which I found lying around
on my desk. Paul Johnson."
Since this drawing
is of the same style as the one he sent to the right, it's assumed
that this one is also his own work. |

Tasuki looking
very ummm...yummy.
Art by Shawnee Bass
I cannot find
Shawnee's letter that went with these. I can only hope that I
read her signature correctly. The date for doing this piece of
art is 8/11/97. |
I've never seen
a more exquisite Nuriko.
Art by Shawnee Bass
The date on
this one is 7\19\97. Possessing the talent of a professional,
Shawnee is still able to adapt the original manga-ka's style
to her own personality without losing the mood or the look of
the original. Her black outlines tend to run finer than the original
manga and anime art. She uses a gradient color in the flower
(something not seen much in cel drawings). There are some differences
in the way Shawnee colors the skin. |

Lyn Daniels does a general anime style but
skillfully adapts it to her personality so that it's not a direct
clone of the anime art.
In the above
picture and the one she did to the right, Lyn uses
a brown with a softer edge to outline her work. Both anime and
manga art usually use a thicker black ink with a sharper edge. |
Lyn colored the clothing in the picture
to the left and Ryouga's skin in the above art is no clone of
the original work. Hers has far more depth and color differentiation
than is found in anime cels and poster art.
Cels and poster
art must be done in such a way that production schedules can
be met. |

Inu Yasha by Lyn Daniels. What a talent! Inuyasha, Shippou, and Kagome. I
like Shippou in green contrasting the reddish fur.
Not yet out
as an anime, Viz does have the American rights to the manga/comic
books. Author: Takahashi |
More Ryouga
from Lyn Daniels. In looking at this one, I can
only say that she has an exceptional control over a pencil. Getting
the pencil pressure just so is not an easy thing to master to
this extent.
Ryouga is my
favorite Ranma 1/2 character. |
