A while ago, I mentioned my contemplations for Otakuthon 2013. Now I decided I will be working on my "The Decades of Anime" series of drawings for art gallery showing during that 2013 event. On to the details: 1) dimensions will be 22.9 cm X 15.25 cm per installment, 2) will be in color, 3) each installment will cover a different decade in the history of Japanese Animation by featuring characters/mecha from more well-known exmaples of Japanese animation works of that specific time.
Here's an outline on what my fan art work will be like:
