Osamu Tezuka Portrait

OKAY NOW. For a very very long while, and I mean a loooooong while, I've been so scared to upload this. By scared, I mean being really really paranoid some schmuck head would come along and steal it without giving me credit and get popular for it. I mean, this is the first time ever I enabled the annoying watermark function

All right, story time. About well over a year ago while I was enrolled in the North County Technical program, I was assigned in my Graphics Design class to simply draw a portrait of celebrity. While everyone else was doing rappers and mainstream actors and whatnot, I decided to take a journey to the past through a time machine and honor one of the biggest influential icons of the anime industry. That person being none other than Osamu Tezuka, the creator of Astro Boy I was watching the 2001 anime rendition of Astro Boy around the time and it was such an amazing sight to behold. I was instantly hooked

I wanted to take the time to honor his memory and the legacy he left behind for anime fans everywhere. So this is for the father of anime himself. May you continue to rest in peace
