DeviantArt’s anime section: for all your fine cover needs.

On a more serious note, though, this is the result of what happens when cultural miscommunication occurs in trying to find a cover. This looks great as an anime poster. Toned down, it would be the typical cover for a manga tankoban. But works over there doesn’t always translate well, and what might be an average cover there translates here as busy.

No – manga and anime posters tend to be very busy but still clear, this is just a fuzzy mess. It is trying to copy your typical manga, but failing. For comparison http://www.listal.com/list/naruto-manga-cover-art

It reminds me of a pseudoanime web comic the early 2000s

Reminds me of a pseudo-psychedelic poster in the 60’s. With anime vomit.

I was thinking that the concept for this cover might have worked pretty well had it been executed better. The themes convey an obvious urban Japan vibe. Then I read the description of it and seems it’s not about Japan at all.

Don’t you recognize London?

FYI it is meant to be Piccadilly Circus in London. And we were going for a Blade Runner-esque feel. My artist was just more comfortable drawing in the Anime style.

It’s just too busy. I think it has promise, but there is way too much going on.

Maybe should have adopted a different artist.
