I can totally see Crunchyroll-tan tell Aniplex-kun "I'm not streaming all your cool new shows for you! Aniplex-kun no Baka! Just so we're clear." I sort of wonder if Crunchyroll-tan carries one of those big paper fans too. I know Crunchyroll-tan can rock that Grade S zettai ryouiki and those twintails though.
(I can't draw either, but this contest sounds awesome. Ganbatte to the entrants!) |

And when people usually make/draw gijinka, the artwork is usually anime-like. I would suggest looking it up on google and you can also google some examples too. (One of the most popular gijinka is for pokemon.) The post/rules aren't too specific on what companies to draw and how they should be drawn. is it just one picture including all of them drawn or do we submit one picture for each company?(or is it up to the artist?) |
