Amano to draw artistic rendtion of ascii art
Famed Final Fantasy illustrator Amano Yoshitaka will apparently be drawing his own artistic renditions of famous 2ch ascii art live on nico nico douga on the 25th of August. There will be a vote on the show on the day itself to decide which one he will be drawing from the list of ascii art shown here.
The ascii art drawing will be live on the 25th of August from 20:00 to 20:30 (Japan time) and there will be another live drawing event on the 26th of August from 18:00 to 19:00 (Japan time). The theme for the second live drawing event has not been announced yet.
This must be the biggest waste of talent I’ve ever seen to have somebody like Amano draw an illustration based on 2ch ascii art! I definitely want to see it though!

Oh god Amano, pedobear. Yeah, I know it’s not pedo-bear over there, but…

I think it’s rather the opposite: It’s the perfect way for such a talent to connect with fans and the people.

For such an accomplished artist, Amano has received way too little attention outside the gaming/otaku spheres. This isn’t going to help.

i dunno, maybe the artist can blow all of our minds.
some artist i know showed me that they see different when we were looking at the same things.

Can someone who frequents 2-chan say whether the bear is a pedophile on 2-chan also, or if that’s a trait the bear took on when he emerged in the English-speaking realm?
Also, why is a very famous artist who has had exhibits dedicated to him all over the world reducing himself to this?

so is 20:00=8pm us eastern time or is it like an hour ahead?

Mad Mage> Only 4chan and westerner think ascii kuma = pedobear.
You can be a famous artist but if you 1st failed at being a Haute Couture creator, being reduced to game design is already a low profile, though now nico and 2ch is not something considered as “low” since it capture most of the net users in japan.
