Hi, and welcome to AniCombo! We are a group of game artists specializing in 3d characters and concept art. The primary focus of this blog is to share our interests in games and anime/manga.

Working in games is interesting, and we’re always looking out for cool game art. We’re big fans of the art and sensibilities found in anime and manga so we’ll post regularly on things we’re watching/reading. We’ll also spotlight our favorite artists and share tips/techniques, and of course we’ll post interesting links and news as we find them.

We hope you enjoy the site!
