KING OF MANGA PRO-WRESTLING: EREN YEAGER

I hope you will like it. I would appreciate your feedback for this drawing.

Extra Notes:

As part of my upcoming project, I decided to re-draw Eren Yeager as "One Man of Talent" Hiroshi Tanahashi. This is a crossover that I really enjoyed making, and I'm glad that Tanahashi himself liked the idea as well.

So how did I come up with this crossover idea? After I conceptualized Jean Kirstein as Kazuchika Okada, I decided to look for the best match for Eren Yeager. And since the legendary Okada vs. Tanahashi rivalry was fresh in my mind at that time, I thought Tanahashi was the perfect fit for Eren. It makes sense anyway, since they're both the ace of their respective worlds. And yes, they're also once in a century talents. Just as Tanahashi sees Okada as a rival, Eren and Jean feel the same for each other.

And when you think about it, Eren and Tanahashi are both titans as well, with Eren being able to become a Titan, and Tanahashi being an unquestionable titan in Japanese pro-wrestling.

When I first shared the idea on Twitter, I kinda hoped Tanahashi would like the piece I made then. I never thought he'd actually repost it as well. That moment will always stand out as one of the most overwhelming things to happen to me this year. It makes me wonder if he'll like this piece as well.

The last time I drew Eren as Tanahashi was back in May this year. In this version, Eren's body structure is much more faithful to the anime version. And personally, I really like this piece a lot more than the original one, because Eren actually looks like Eren. But just like my Jean drawing, I wasn't too faithful with the design of Tanahashi's outfit, because it was too complex for me. (And last time I checked, I wasn't the only one who felt this way.)

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this piece.
