Fist of the north star (hokuto no ken) fanart


So I've been watching a lot of retro anime lately. I'll probably do some fan art based off it, and give a summarization of my thoughts about the anime I am talking about. Recently I watched fist of the north star, so here's a drawing I did.

What's it about: Dudes with glam rock hairstyles and shoulder pads... using their martial arts to out-do each other with whatever martial art each uses - set in a post apocalyptic future.

My opinions: It's f*cking awesome. It's been hailed as one of the most manliest movies ever, and it deserves such a title. I really did fall in love with the characters of this anime, and drawing them was a lot of fun. I feel like doing more because all the characters are awesome, but I did the three that show up pretty much every episode.

Here is the opening sequence:

Animation Demo Reel


Mostly consisting of stuff from my third year film!

There's a clip that reveals Wolfsong was originally supposed to have dialogue (voiced by Karen Kahler) but for the storytelling sake, I took it out and made the film more pantomime.
Lucien Dodge voiced the hunter (in the reel he exclaims DIE! but I changed it to efforts)

Check out my story portfolio here!

Wolfsong

Here is is! My third year film, wolfsong!



Here is a film that I had the most difficulty working with.
It's a suspense thriller!

A mother wolf breaks into a hunter's den and takes back her cub, only to find it a motionless trophy. She sings a lullaby hoping that her cub will sleep. Little does she know that they are stalked by a young hunter back from the den.

A film that had way too many problems! Both story and animation related... It kind of shows sadly :( I hope I come to the 4th year more prepared.
