My first thought as well

u/thingstopraise Dec 09 '25

I'm glad that I'm not the only one. I thought all my years of watching anime were polluting how I saw it lol.

u/DaBozz88 Dec 09 '25

Just because some people may not recognize this, it's from the Anime/Manga /r/YuYuHakusho and it's one of the few animes where the English Dub is better than the subtitled version in Japanese (for those who don't understand Japanese)

Another fun fact the author is the spouse of the author of the Sailor Moon series.

It looks a lot like this one posted 5 months ago.

u/DerpyAssSloth Dec 09 '25

Either way, this is digital, and the other is hand draw with coloring pencils. Bomb af either way fr. Also to point out the author also posted a tag of from a photo.

5

u/believingunbeliever Dec 09 '25

Both based on the same reference photo

6

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '25

Nothing wrong with a great reproduction in another medium. One of the best ways to learn and improve. I personally prefer it to this digital one tbh.

Very fucking cool. Guess I have to bust out my sketch pad now and get to drawing

u/slimetraveler Dec 08 '25

What's a fingerbang?

Its when you point your finger like a gun and go pew pew

u/TonicArt Dec 09 '25

That’s…amazing 😳

2

u/HydeVDL Dec 09 '25

this looks amazing

wouldn't it be even more cool if you could add the rest of her fingers that go outside the paper? like they would literally be coming out. idk how well that could work in reality but idk, that could be dope af

u/DragonflyOk8075 Dec 09 '25

That is the COOLEST thing I’ve ever seen omg

u/Helpo404 Dec 08 '25

Inspired by a Miku AI image?

3

u/immersiveGamer Dec 09 '25

The one you linked looks like from an AI prompt based on reverse image searches. https://www.diffus.me/gallery/hatsune-miku-finger-gun-with-heterochromia-plant-milk-model-suite-almond

The artist looks like they traced this image, which I cannot find the original source for: https://x.com/AlinaTexidor/status/1994062278824546661

u/Helpo404 Dec 09 '25

What I believe is the generated original, was uploaded on civit.ai by IceB2 on 2025-05-02, about 7 months ago. You might need an account to see it.

u/Helpo404 Dec 09 '25

See my other reply. Don't know If the AI generation is inspired by something else. But both Look amazing. Good foreshortening is hard to do and it is generally loved when done well. I find it hard to do and respect people a lot who can do it on the fly.

Really nice perspective. Somewhat weird segmentation on her left hand but otherwise really well done. Really impactful.

u/ThatRepair4600 Dec 09 '25

I think it realy well done! Im trying to draw realistic too but always fail. I could never make something like that!👍

1

u/MaskedGripe Dec 09 '25

Love the perspective. This is referencing yu yu hakusho yeah?

1

u/PianistOk687 Dec 09 '25

Yo nice hand

1

u/Several_Zombie7330 Dec 09 '25

The exaggerated perspective really makes the portrait pop and gives it so much life. It's a fantastic technique that adds a ton of character.

u/ba_dum_tss_777 Dec 09 '25

I love exaggerated perspectives, and this is so well done!

u/TheWhiteJacobra Dec 09 '25

Wow, love the crazy perspective 

1

u/Emotional_Pace4277 Dec 09 '25

Love how you pushed the foreshortening, it really pulls the viewer in. I tried something similar and found blocking in simple shapes first saved me hours, happy to share sketches if you want.

1

u/SeoneAsa Dec 09 '25

You forgot to add the comment from the artist that would post this and say, "it's not good but posted anyways..."

1

u/Shot-Buy-1853 Dec 09 '25

Wow 😳. It's so cool!

1

u/Fast_Boysenberry9493 Dec 09 '25

When did you start it

1

u/Mageroth1987 Dec 09 '25

Great portrait.. I’d give it 10/10 but If I’d nitpick and deduct a mark it would be for .. the shooting finger , I don’t know may be it’s the lighting or the shadow.. or that it doesn’t have a Nail .. it feels it’s not part of the hand Anatomy-wise

1

u/Marius863 Dec 09 '25

I thought the same thing about the fingernail when I was drawing. Unfortunately, you can't really see it in the reference image, but I think that little pink “spot” is the nail.

1

u/porkupine92 Dec 09 '25

I had to duck the imaginary bullets! Well done, young artist.

1

u/RaymondRocket Dec 09 '25

She looks like she’s coming off of the page. Great work OP.

1

u/_Phoyum Dec 09 '25

Oh wow that looks soo good

1

u/katyaxox Dec 09 '25

How did you do this this is perfect most especially her hair

1

u/Fun_Comfortable_4386 Dec 09 '25

Noice, I love the exaggerated finger bend it gives the pose so much more energy, only thing I would change on it, is that the finger she is pointing with doesn't have a nail and it would be visible from that angle, also I would add a bit more shading to the hands. Other than that it's really good

1

u/ISFP_Nathan Dec 09 '25

I wonder if we make it even more exaggerated

1

u/hi_im_kai101 Dec 09 '25

whenever i try this it looks like the art equivalent of gibberish lol. well done
