Red Monika Battle Chasers Nightwar Fan Art

Took a memory trip to the 90's with this one when anime was sprawling everywhere back home in the Philippines during my teen years. Among many great influences in my drawing style Joe Madureira was one of them with his super cool, exaggerated, Bengus influenced art which he shaped, evolved and became his own was one could never forget. His art is even today with his new game out Battle Chasers Nightwar is definitely one that stood the test of time and his in-game art is so cool to look/stare at till today! Here is my process of one of his great characters Red Monika. My drawing process usually starts anywhere from a skecth pad, then scanned, improved then corrected on the computer with Photoshop and my Wacom Cintiq. I used one of Joe Mad's in-game illustrations as inspiration and Grace Liu's color scheme/pallete as a study to further improve on my work using cell shade color schemes in animation. I hope you guys like it.
