Old enough to remember when anime was bootlegged on VHS, cosplay wasn't a competition, and everyone drew in the DBZ style.
I draw a lot of nostalgic things, notably things from the 80s and 90s. I also shamelessly self-insert in some of my pieces. If this isn't your kind of thing, that's cool, too. I mostly do them to honor my lifelong connections to them, the shows they come from, and as a comfort thing. Yeah, I have friends in reality, but one of the perks of being an artist is being able to put yourself in their worlds. I think that's just magical.
