Ultraman!!!

This is a sketch of Ultraman using pen and ink and some additional background and effects using Photoshop. I tried to give it a taste similar to pop Japanese posters reminiscent of the 70's to 80's era.

I remember when I was a kid, I have watched a few Ultraman shows; the original Ultraman, Dyna, Tiga, Ace and Taro. And just recently I chanced upon watching the new Ultraman TV shows, Ultraman Nexus and Ultraman Max. I remember watching this as a child every Saturday morning on local free TV. We would then imitate all his attacks and shouts. Ultra Ray! Swatch!

I checked Wikipedia and I learned that there are already more than 30 spin-off shows of this franchise. In fact, it has been entered into the Guinness Book of World Records as the franchise with the most number of spin-offs. Cool!

Well, it was fun reminiscing those days...
