Baccano rewired my 14 year old brain fr (true story) 🍾🗽🚂💰🔫
i made a sticker sheet for one of my favourite animes ever, for anime north 2023 this month! One of the drawings I did for my first ever con was Baccano, so I wanted to pay tribute. It makes me overjoyed the fandom is alive and kicking in 2023. if you can’t get to AN and you want the sticker sheet, keep an eye out this summer for my online shop!!
A lot of the media I first experienced when I was a teen was so formative for me as an artist, Baccano was one of them - and I love inputting vintage aesthetics in my art whenever possible (unfortunately not possible half of the time). I've watched the anime many times, and I'm almost done the 1st book, unfortunately I learned theres 22 other books (DW voice: I can't read!!! 💔)
Planning this sheet took a LOT of work - each individual sticker composition, trashing and reworking sketches, research and visual reference, drawing inspiration from the art nouveau and art deco periods, as well as film noir era posters.
There were countless times where I regretted my choices and thought, "Oh man, why did I do this to myself?! I think I should have drawn chibis of the characters instead!!". Planning and drawing this took so long that I couldn’t envision it being complete for my deadline. But with the power of god and anime I pulled through. I'm quite happy I went with this more graphic design approach! I definitely want to try more graphic design stuff in the future, it’s a lot of fun 🤔🤔
I ended up with a completely NEW pinterest board of 125 art deco related pins over the course of drawing this... help
the flames in the “The Grand Panacea” poster were inspired by these two posters

My favorite characters from Baccano!, Durarara!!, and Dead Mount Death Play would have fun having a philosophical discussion. I need to see Graham, Izaya, and Solitaire chatting. Izaya would lead the conversation, pointing out Graham's contradictions with interest.
Also, 2/3 of these characters have a spin-off novel. Where's my Graham Specter spin-off? (Volume 16 doesn't count.)

Graham’s the type to get ahold of some cannons so he can “play along” with the 1812 Overture.

Suits is basically just Hannibal but instead of mads mikkelsen baiting a neurospicy dude into killing (and occasional cannibalism), it’s just a lawyer baiting a neurospicy dude into lawyerism (and occasional fraud). With dumb soap opera subplots.
They’re so dumb I love it
PS: btw I know that quality wise those shows are not comparable, Hannibal is literally art and suits is just for fun, but I thought the comparison was fun 🙃
