I even do fanart



I never do fanart but here's some sketches for a couple of drawings of the main characters of Panty & Stocking, a bizzarely drawn and incredibly lewd anime I happen to like.



The basic premise of the show is that there are these superhero angel girls whose undergarments can turn into divine weapons, which they use to fight legions of ghosts. If you're not too embarrassed to sit to the end of the above scene there's actually some satisfying animation, too.




it got kinda famous because it uses this weird style that reminds people of famous "western" animations by people like Craig McCracken (Powerpuff Girls, that sorta thing), the kind of "apple core" character design that John K bitches about (where most of the lines in the character are concave, making them look flat and angular). It's crazy and irreverent and it looks as though it was a lot of fun to make, and although nine shots out of ten it's a complete visual clusterfuck it's still strangely watchable.

Also apologies to jonathan for nicking pictures from his post about this from last year because I am too lazy to take my own caps
