Most Anime series/flicks have excellent plots, with themes that range from Teenage Maturity and Romance to Asian History and Political Corruption. But what truly makes them so appealing is the unique and striking art they exhibit. The wonderful scenery as well as the colorful hair, huge eyes, eccentric costumes and funny expressions of Anime characters are only some of the distinctive characteristics of Japanese Animation that fans have fallen in love with. This style has greatly influenced and inspired fans from all over the world. In addition to following the same drawing/painting technique, there are also others that borrow characters from their favorite Anime and reinvent them to produce their own derivative artworks.
Below are 35 Fan Art illustrations inspired by the most popular Anime series and movies known worldwide. Some are so good that they arguably look better than the original. Familiar with these Anime characters? Inspired to make you own Fan Art? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment.
