The Anime Realm Logo and Community Image Contest Submission

Hello, guys! Ohayo!
I am new to The Anime Realm community and I really love anime.
My top favorite is One Piece! Yeah! Gumo gumo noooo----👊😆👊 hahaha enough for that.😅
I would like to share my submission to the contest, to create a new logo and image for The Anime Realm community. I show you my creation and how I come up with the idea let's gooooo!

First, a research to the word "Anime". What is Anime?
Anime is a Japanese animation style that is produced or influenced by it. It is the Japanese term for cartoon or animation where the Japanese use the word to describe all cartoons irrespective of the nation. However, outside Japan, anime denotes animation movies that come exclusively from Japan, distinguished by blazing graphics, energetic characters, and attractive themes such as sci-fi, romance, and supernatural forces. Therefore, consider this syllogism: all anime shows are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime.

So based on that information the Anime is originated in Japan. Then I think of something that can be represent to the Japan. It could be the flag, the tradition, also foods, stories and legends, everything that can relate to it. I saw this picture over here while gathering data.

Cool! What are these? These are called "Daruma Dolls"
The Daruma is a traditional Japanese doll, which in Japan has become a symbol of perseverance and luck.

Ooohh... I like that idea, a symbol of Perseverance and Luck! And so this is what I make as an inspiration of my logo.
TADAAAAA...

Comes with White and Black Backgrounds too😁 May you have a perseverance and luck along in this anime community!

Let's dive in to the process on How I create this logo.

First, open up the Adobe Photoshop software.
Create a new document with the size of 512 x 512 pixels.
Then, start the sketch! yeah here you go.

I can't help but put a grin in my face while doing this sketch. Just look at that mustache doesn't that look familiar to you?

Yeah yeah hahaha the Pirate King Gol D. Roger!

Also I noticed when you rearrange the initials of The Anime Realm T-A-R, we could come up with the word ART! Anime=ART well played hahaha I put the Initials to the logo somehow makes it like an engraved text😌

Now, moved on to the Cleaning of the sketch and define the lines.

Here you go. Mostly the mouth of the Daruma are mad or something I change that to this happy looking Daruma Logo 😁

Then, add the colors. These are the base colors.

Finally, Add some details with shadows and lights.

For the Community Image I come up with the idea from the word "Realm". A realm is also a kingdom. And I did this one.

I don't know if the image fits without any cuts but it's the exact size of 2048 x 512 pixels.
This creation is inspired by Sukuna's domain expansion. This is what I represent for the kingdom/realm. And I know that the Image for the original design is very hard to do so I created my own version with simple elements to it.

Let's dive in to the process of making😁

First, same thing to the logo open up a new document and input the exact dimensions.
Create the sketch of the design.

Then add some values with black and white color.

I start adding color by putting an overlay layer on top of the grayscale.

Then, I create another layer just set to normal mode and refine the image.

Finally, add the text "The Anime Realm"
Font used : "Ungai"

That's it thank you for your time and attention for this content. I hope you have a good day God Bless😌
