I sometimes love to see a semi-realistic rendering of favorite character. Excellent pieces can bring them alive, showing them in an entirely different light. Artist 生ゴミカン is certianly able to do that with these cool fanart pieces depicting Sasuke (Naruto), The Phantom Thieves (Persona 5), our favorite trio from Chainsaw Man + lonely Kobeni, and… Read More Fanart Friday: Semi-Realistic Shounen
