Fist of the North Star's Kenshiro Recreated in Multiple Art Styles

3D Artist Mauro Fanti showcased this appealing animation with a Blender-made Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.

According to the creator, the artwork is a continuation of the "shading non-shading" exercise with Blender. "I'm carrying out an experiment in an attempt to create different stylized looks totally in compositing starting from a basic shading," Mauro shared.

The animation shows various art styles inspired by diverse games and movies as well as art materials. The character is shown in styles such as manga, the visuals of the 1980s and 2000s anime, arcade, 16-bit, Spider-Verse, noir, ink, Borderlands, watercolor, and more.
