Artist Alley : Most Popular Anime / Game Characters 2010

[bentoboxbobby]

Hello,

I just wanted to know what are the hottest Anime Characters of 2010?
Here are some of the titles that I had polled upon:

1. Taokaka - Blazblue
2. Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy
3. Hatsune Miku - [Herself]
4. ????? - Pokemon
5. Death the Kid - Soul Eater

That's all I can think of, can someone give me some suggestions?  I would really like to create some prints, but I don't know what teens-college kids - etc... like nowadays?

Am I close or ???

Thanks
Bobby

I think Angel Beat is pretty big, and Hitalia...

Yes yes Hetalia Axis Powers is really huge right now.  ;D  Also Soul Eater and a bunch of new animes coming out from Funimation are getting plenty of hype.

Ichigo from Bleach
Ed, Roy, and Alphonse from Full Metal Alchemist
Sora, Riku, Roxas, and Axel from Kingdom Hearts
Link from Legend of Zelda
Zero Kiryu and Senri Shiki from Vampire Knight

Hi All,

Thank you for your information.  I am happy that I received responses, so I will try to do some artwork for the con.

One last modest request, what about kids?  I know Pokemon is still strong and hot, but what are the most popular?

Any other anime kid shows by chance?

Thanks
Bobby

PokeMon (As you mentioned)
Digimon
Avatar (Not really anime but I've seen cosplayers)
Kirby

I hope that helps. :3

Yes Yes!  Thank You Thank You!

I'll see to it that there is kid prints too.  Maybe Pokemon and Digimon together.
I'd like to draw Link and Kirby together.

I heard for Hetalia there are certain Characters - I think China and some other one was the most popular.

I'll try to do some Silver Centurion Iron Man too in anime style.  Maybe parody it up with Miku.

Thanks a lot!

Bobby
