Somehow I inherited a Gatchaman Fan Club page on Deviant Art. Someone I didn't know started it, asked me to be a co-founder, and then they left and made me the founder. I decided to start with an art challenge for the New Year and thought I'd invite any artists here to join in the fun! Gatchaman FC on Dev Art Here's a challenge for the Gatch artists out there... Take any two characters from Gatchaman and draw what you think their offspring would look like! There is no real time limit on this challenge...just draw at your leisure. I'd love to see what you come up with! This is my contribution the Gatchaman FC's Offspring Challenge. Of course, it is Ken and Jun's children...*grin* I named them Kenichi (boy) and Akira (girl). Looks like little Akira is a handful!

Great picture, Springie! I like the looks switched gender, the boy looks more like Jun and the girl looks more like Ken. It's very similar to how it was in my house. I looked more like my father and my brother looked more like my mother.

Interesting, Springie. A Ken with green eyes would be cute. I wish I could draw.

Springie, you've done a great job! I can really see their parents in them!

Springe, I have to agree with everyone else. Great job. I love seeing the two reflections of their parents in the children. I might have to check out this club to see if anyone else makes any more additions.

Thanks, guys! I may have to try some other combinations...this was fun!

Nice picture. Sweet looking kids...the girl reminds me of my niece--who always gives my son a hard time... Akira though, brings to mind that amazing film by Katsuhiro Otomo...

They're so cute, Springie! And, echoing the others, really well done for their inherited aspect! Akira does really look like a handful, and Kenichi seems the responsible one! I'd love to contribute some day, but I really don't know when! I've been away from DA for some time now, since time has become an issue! Good thing you left it open, though!

Their personalities match their parents though, Kenichi sensible and responsible, (like Ken) and Akira, flirty and fun loving (like Jun) wanting to run off and play...

I saw this over at DA... Here's the son of Jason and Mala. I have no idea what his name is -he probably has two different ones anyway, depending on which parent you ask!

He's interesting looking but what's with the arms? Is he practicing carrying his mother's luggage?

It's the result of somewhat hasty use of a screencap of Jinpei as a body model.

That's a great mix of the two of them, LB! He's definitely ready for a fight!

I was thinking the same thing Springie ... stay out of his way.

The half and half logo on his t-shirt is interesting!

Ah. He does look like he's looking for a fight.
