just to get things straight, anime are animated cartoons based on japanese manga drawings or comics. manga and anime have a difference but look the same. In TCE's case, a more western concept art look is better. Games like MGS are okay with the magna style art, but TCE, and games like CS and AA are better off with western style concept art. TCE especially will look great in a sketchy dark look showing action and anticipation (Im sure you know what I mean by these if youve taken visual art, cartooning, and animation course before) to thier fullest. Like a skectchy drawing of a CT firing at full auto where his face shows that he is panicking in fear. making use of dark 6b pencils can get the effect done right, but use a hard point pencil to do the face details. If I get a scanner, ill show you what I mean by western concept art. I do ink drawings, either pencil first or directly. I use metal nibs and an ink bottle not ink pens.

Concept art is one of the very first things done, before mapping, modeling, programming, anything. It's produced to show what things should look like, and to illustrate ideas.

I guess he must be trying to appeal to the small Japanese TCE community. Im not really the kind of person who draws manga, but Ill hold my critism for the idea until I see some original manga artwork done specifically for TCE. when that becomes available, then we'll see if it fits for sure or not.
