  • Notes: More western style you can add 'comic' but this might end up making it have panels, you can try to add artist tags for western style artists on Danbooru to help enhance the effect you desire (ie: find an artist then add their tag, preferably they should have upward of one thousand entries in danbooru). You can also negate 'anime' and 'toony', 'cartoon'.

  • Check out these websites for tags used in Illustrious and Pony (keep in mind they are NSFW but you can change the settings as necessary): https://e621.net/ (furry) https://danbooru.donmai.us/ https://gelbooru.com/

🈴 East Meets West – Creator’s Guide

A dramatic comicbook aesthetic merging anime elegance with Western power


East Meets West

Visual Identity
A dramatic fusion of Eastern visual elegance and Western graphic boldness, “East Meets West” blends anime-style expressiveness with comic book realism and structure. Characters often feature sharp, emotional facial cues, intricate cultural costume design, and stylized kinetic poses. Backgrounds are cinematic and dynamic, combining architectural depth with panel-style framing.

Linework & Anatomy

  • Sharp, confident lines influenced by Western comics

  • Anime-proportioned faces with expressive eyes

  • Muscular or stylized bodies echoing superhero physiques

  • Often uses speed lines, slash trails, or ink bursts for motion

Color & Lighting

  • High-contrast, cel-shaded or painted shadows

  • Anime-style eye glows or aura effects

  • American-style lighting drama: rim light, spotlighting, storm-lit skies

  • Color palettes may reflect traditional Eastern tones (red, black, gold, jade) with comicbook-style color blocking

Fashion & Weaponry

  • Fuses samurai/hanfu/ninja or East Asian folklore garb with superhero armor or tactical suits

  • Common materials: lacquered leather, silk textures, steel trims

  • Weapon designs blend myth (katanas, talismans) with sci-fi or magical enhancements

  • Gold accents and engraved motifs, such as dragons, lotuses, yin-yang, or phoenix patterns

Composition & Backgrounds

  • Perspective distortion for power poses (wide angles, Dutch tilts)

  • Panel-style cityscapes, temples, or collapsing ruins with dynamic lighting

  • Full-moon backdrops, sakura petals in battlefields, or lightning storms over skyscrapers

  • Characters often pose with strong silhouettes against a celestial or apocalyptic backdrop
