Anime Chick

[Idefriginit]

Did this as a surprise for my friend's birthday. He is learning Japanese and is in fact in Japan now on an exchange program.

I can't draw anime, however I referenced from several other anime and put it all together.

It was printed onto Expanded PVC with a UV Printer and then routed out and made to stand up. It was about 1.6m tall.


**edit**
I referenced body shapes but hand drew the clothes and hair.

Done in Illustrator.



This is the cutout when finished...

like that

maybe the white space at the bottom could have done with some [very subtle] background rather than plain white...

ideally it would not be there from my point of view, but I guess its necessary for support? [I don't do vinyl cutouts...]

I agree Steve however moved slightly to her right, it would cover that hole in the wall

It's not vinyl, its a type of foam.

The white space is there for support and there could have been a background - i agree. However I had the idea 2days before his bday and that thing took 2 nights of staying up till 3am(on work days) to complete. lol

Pretty cool Scott! hopefully it was a big hit with your friend. I am not into anime. Guess I am just too old to appreciate it.
