We get tons of people asking us to check out their fan art, and we love looking at. Sadly we don’t have enough time to look at everything. There is one site that we love to check out because it has some amazing fan art. I’m sure you’ve all heard of Zerochan (zerochan.net). This site as a ton of anime fan art which makes it really strange that they have Happy Tree Friend stuff. We aren’t really anime, but I guess we have a lot of the same fans.
Some of the most interesting is the art work with HTF characters as humans…actually; most of the HTF drawings here are the characters in human form. These detailed drawings are amazing. I’m pretty sure that a lot of these people are professional artists who just do this for fun. If they aren’t professionals, they should run out and get an animation job because they’re awesome.
At one point, Kenn and I were talking about what an episode would look like if we did it in this style. He sat down and actually started sketching out what the characters would look like. Needless to say, it was a very difficult process, and we came to the conclusion that even if we could get the look right, animating it would take FOREVER! So sadly, I don’t think the anime style episode will ever see the light of day.
We can take a look at some great fan art though. These are by no means the only good ones. I suggest checking out the site yourself. Personally, I’m not a fan of the creepy sexual images. It just seems wrong to see HTF characters that way, but to each their own. Check up some that Kenn and I like:
