"Characters"

ink, then digital.

Just completing one of those meme things that was going around.

As far as I know, the meme originated here (in Japanese).

There is a blank translated to English here (on dA).

I set up the blank frame on it's own layer, locked it, and then worked the image underneath it.

So, when I was finished, I clicked off the frame and found this below.

I think I like it just as much, though the visual effect was unintentional.

It was hard to whittle down the pick, I limited myself to visual, drawn mediums (my list for fictional characters in general would be different (including books, live action movies, etc.)) and even so I couldn't get it down lower than eleven, not ten.
