Toradora! 10

They still look different though.

Not different enough it seems.

To my artist's eyes, there are plenty of minute differences, but no point in going there. Animators tend to take shortcuts whenever possible and I agree on that point.

Minori's blushing! There's a difference! :lol:

Of course. Otherwise they would be the same character, which they obviously are not. It is kind of disappointing that the same "template" would be used on both characters.

Also, I have "Artist Eyes" as well in case you've forgotten.

They are both looking somewhat to the right with their mouth open, that's about all that's the same.

Taiga is looking more to the right.
Her mouth isn't open as much and is more pointed.
She has sharp eye lashes.
Her nose is more defined, and in a different spot.
She has rounder cheeks.
Her eyebrows are higher.
Her hair is covering her clothes.
Smaller, pointier shoulders.
She is holding a half eaten sandwich.
Even the background is different.

I fail to see how this is even remotely a shortcut. The two images are somewhat similar and that's it.

Leave it to Mike to point the differences out, nice job though. They're very similar in nature, but that's about it.

I'm sorry, but that sounds way too much like something from a manga about artists. :lol:

Seriously, tell me you can't imagine this:

Critical person that's initially hostile but later on becomes friendly: "He has no chance of winning the competition."

Older mentor-type character: "He may not win now, but he has the potential. AND THE ARTIST EYE!"

Hahahahahaha it really does. You should write that manga Kloro.

And thus Bakuman was created.

hahaha i was so thinking that also

I was thinking more Death Note, but that works too.

@ Mike: The background and sandwich is irrelevant. So the hair doesn't seem even remotely suspect to you? I didn't recolor it just for kicks you know.

taiga eyes, taiga skin color, removed blush...guess i should of added hair...oh well.
