The Art Of ThreeBar

Found in the darkest depths of Pixiv (Via)
ThreeBar is a Tokyo based artist that caught our eye, thanks to his pushed compositions, dynamic poses and ecclectic approach to designing his characters. In a way some of Threebar's characters really brought me back to the work of Bhead, the custom toy maker who gave his creations a very colorful, tacked together feel. The artist also does plenty of tribute pieces, paying respect to classic series like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Dragon Quest, heck..Even Ghostbusters!

Threebar allows his lineart to shine through, usually applying simple washes of flat color with little shading to help give it a somewhat raw look. His detail on some of these pieces is absolutely sublime though, bringing back mild memories of the likes of Katsuhiro Otomo (The artist behind Akira, Domo, Steamboy, etc.) Check out 11 more pieces from his portfolio after the break!
