    Really great design. Thanks.
    Just one thing in your title in Japanese. There is a mistake. It is not "ルイク" as you wrote but "レイク" for "lake".
    Cheers
  • Panic Productions 9 months ago
    Thanks Cedric, you're probably right. It's been twenty years since I lived in Japan and my katakana is pretty rusty!

    I know you're trying to be clever, but that should be an 'A'.

    I also feel unsettled by your excessive use of the exclamation mark.

    Next time...

    Comment with care

    Amazing work. I don't think a sumo battle has ever been such a gracious thing to look at. Well done, sir.

    Such nice animation. Really nice line quality, reminds me of Joanna Quinn. The play between perspective and scale was really nice too.

    That's a very flattering comparison, thank you. It shouldn't be a surprise I'm a huge admirer of her work.
