Kamikaye responds:

Its a blender ocean modifier, a reflective material and a caustics-photo on top.

[Shenhua - Body and Blade Last Forever]

Oh fuck, you're a Black Lagoon fan too?
I watched it relatively recently like 20 years late, but I loved it. Revy, Dutch, Balalaika, Shenhua, all the side characters were super interesting, and the animation was so good. I loved all the mature themes and the way the characters talked that wouldn't fly at all today. I ended up watching in english but I don't really regret it since the dub was actually very good, though I wonder if the dialog changes much between versions.

Revy's back and forth with Shenhua is hilarious in english. I love her whole blades on a wire trick, especially when she's threatening the out of town cowboy looking guy and explaining how things work in Roanapur. In the scene where they're raiding the safehouse with all the other bounty hunters and she gets injured and almost died, I was going to be mad as hell. She may be a villain of sorts, but I want her to LIVE. Maybe im a bit biased because I love red and her design is full of it. I love all the detail you put into her clothing, all your lines are super clean.

Hehehe, ohhhh you bet I'm a Black Lagoon fan! It's been one of my top favorite anime series for like a decade! (>w<) The series has always been a major inspiration for me and I adore everything about it! I don't know why I haven't made more fanart of it... gotta make more!!

Oh yeah, the dub is absolutely fantastic! Every actor knocked it out of the park! I also believe that Shenhua still spoke in a "broken" dialect in the original Japanese dub as well, so the English dub still holds up in that regard haha. I think I remember Rei Hiroe, the mangaka, saying he prefers watching the English dub, since it makes more sense for the characters to be speaking English in universe, so that's pretty neat haha!

As I mentioned in the description, Shenhua's also my dad's fave Black Lagoon character. Over the past few years I've actually gotten him really into anime! He loved Black Lagoon a lot and it was a blast watching it with him! He's even watching some anime with the Japanese dub! Best dad hehe xD

Thank you so much for your kind words and fun comment! It makes my day hearing my art evoke such positive feelings and good memories (^w^)

You draw a lot of nice pen stuff. At least I assume its pen sketches. Are you in art school or anything right now? or is it all personal art?

AntonM responds:

Thanks these inktober drawings have been a maru nib pen and brush with sumi ink, all just personal art

"Love Ahndu PEACE!"
I watched Trigun so late, but it still aged very well. Other than the giant super mutant episodes the story and style is unmatched. I still remember the moment that really surprised me when Vash is on the train and accidentally shoots someone under stress, and immediately panics and tries to save his life. He wins over just about everyone he can, and he'd sooner cripple those who refuse to change than take their life. It's such a great show. I wish they would redo the original show in the same style while following the manga completely.

horrorhare responds:

YESSSSS i luv trigunnnn, its my favorite anime. it deserves a LOT more hype
