2010 :: Ranma-chan in Manga Studio

Here's a really recent fanart I drew of Ranma, the Ranma 1/2 anime was like THE first anime I saw in it's native Japanese. I loved the anime more than the comic at the start, and despite it's popularity it was really hard show to get hold of in the UK tape-trading days of early 90's fandom. Horrible Nth-generation red-bleeds and yellow subtitled blurs... *shudder*

Anyway this time last year I was doing a lot of manga studio practice while I was drawing my comic using Manga Studio entirely. Doing such experiments with all the tools helped me greatly and turned something a bit overwhelming into something quite fun. I recommend this technique to learn new tricks!

Of worthy note, a few months after I drew this, I saw the newest Ranma animation - the 2008 "It's A Rumic World" OAV 3-parter (1x Urusei Yatsura, 1 x Ranma, 1 x Inuyasha), even after all these years, as a fan, it was an utter joy to watch.
