The RE:ANIME Collection

Here's a collection of work that i've been working on since mid 07... a collection that I am still adding on.
It started off just being a series of 9-10 pieces for my portfolio but after getting good reviews, i thought i should continue with the series and make RE:ANIME 2.
I have already started on the RE:ANIME 3 collection in which i plan to premiere at the end of the year and also plan to premiere a special RE:ANIME Battle Edition, which is also in the works.

What inspired me to do this was a collection of David LaChapelle's photographs he did based on scenarios from a movie and adding his own style and interpretation of the scenario, characters, etc etc.
In my case I wanted to use 2 animes. Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden and FullMetal Alchemist.
giving it my own portrayal of the characters using models of people that related to these characters.
