Alita as Wall Art available on paper, stretched canvas, luxury metal or acrylic. Multiple sizes available with free shipping!
It’s the early 1990s. I’d just discovered the new and exciting world of anime and manga. One series in particular – Battle Angel Alita managed to blow my mind. An action-packed cyberpunk adventure with an art style so good it would nearly bring tears to my eyes! Alita, or Gally as she was known in the original Japanese series, was a cyborg fighting machine with an unconventionally cute, feminine appearance.
I was around 12 years old at the time. I remember how just the thought of watching the Alita anime would make my heart pound with excitement and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I wanted to show my appreciation for the series by creating my own original fan artwork.
There was a problem. I was young and my artistic ability, although decent for my age, wasn’t fantastic. I needed to create a piece worthy of such an awesome anime and manga series. I gave it a shot and managed to copy an image of Alita from a panel from the manga /comic. It was OK! For a 12 year old’s copied picture. But I wanted my fan art to be original and look professional.
My perfectionist attitude and a lot of stubbornness combined to help me constantly improve my artistic abilities. As decades passed, I finally got to a stage where I felt good enough to come back to the task of drawing an original Alita artwork. I gathered up some reference material and set about drawing out my own interpretation of the cybernetic heroine, Alita, conquering her only fear in the galaxy – butterflies! I’d make the butterflies in this piece stand out in bright blue to contrast with the dull grey inks I’d used on the rest of the image.
I was working as a tattoo artist at the time and half way through the creation of Alita, I needed to stop and devote time to my client’s requests. I’d be so tired at the end of the day from inking body parts with stars, tribal spikes or kids’ names that I wouldn’t have the energy to work on Alita, or anything else I was particularly passionate about.
Finally, I got a free weekend. I broke out my marker pens and continued with the artwork until it was finished. I was finally satisfied and managed to capture the original manga art style I fell in love with all those years ago. I went on to exhibit it at comic conventions and online. To my surprise, dozens of fellow Alita fans liked the piece enough to buy it and it’s sold close to 100 prints to date. It took some time, but when I compare it to my first copied Alita drawing produced 25 years prior, I felt grateful for not giving up my pursuit as a professional artist.
