It has been our pleasure to have worked with Anime Trending to create their special illustrations for the Anime of the Decade awards. I must admit that I was slightly disappointed that there was no clean sweep of the awards by Kyoto Animation.

Tasked with doing the art for the Champions (K-ON!) and Runner-ups (A place further than the Universe), the work was divided between our two anime-styled artists.

Given how close his art is to the classic Kyoto Animation look, WaHa took the K-ON! artwork.

While Usanekorin handled the artwork for YoriMoi. He also handled the backdrop that was used across both artworks.

The artworks can be downloaded in high res at the Anime Trending website. You can also check out the WIPs over at Artstation here and here.

Update! GSong also got the opportunity to draw the winning lead characters of the decade!
