Kotyara & OmarDrift
Hey Omar, I was just sketching a chibi of a cat in a trench coat, totally inspired by Cowboy Bebop’s vibe. Do you think anime can capture the same kind of mysterious, smoky atmosphere you bring to your scenes?
Sure, if you trim the edges and let the shadows linger, anime can taste like that old smoke. But it usually feels a bit… cartoonish. It’s all about how tight the framing is and how deep the silence cuts. If you keep it tight and let the quiet do the talking, you’ll get that vibe. Otherwise, it’ll just be another bright, colorful scene.
Wow, that’s a cool idea! I’ll try trimming the edges and keeping the shadows just right—maybe add a little silent cat peeking from the corner. I’ll see if I can make the quiet feel like a character itself. Thanks for the tip!
Just make sure the silence doesn’t drown out the cat. A good shadow can turn a quiet corner into a whole plot point. Good luck.
