The “Fanart Project”

In 2006 I took on a challenge to create 100 pieces of fanart, based on a list of prompts that was going around LiveJournal at the time.

I finished five of them. But I do like how some of them turned out, even now.

For the “Food” prompt, I drew Vash the Stampede from Trigun; this might have been the first big piece I did with the Copic markers I’d just gotten at SakuraCon the previous month:

For “Hours”, I drew some Phantom Tollbooth art:

For “Sixth Sense”, Professor X (and a poorly yet painstakingly rendered version of his school):

For “Months”, I did a piece based on Jonathan Coulton’s song “Womb With a View”; I gave him the original lineart as well as a print of the final version (which I colored digitally since I didn’t think I was up to that level of background work with my Copics):

And for “Black”, by a friend’s request, Yuber from Suikoden III. I had to come up with my own design for the Eightfold Rune, since it doesn’t seem to have ever been shown canonically:
