Description

Ken Washio, also known as the Eagle, is leader and tactical expert of the Science Ninja Team, Gatchaman.

Ken Washio and Gatchaman characters were created by Tatsuo Yoshida and appear in anime produced by Tatsunoko Productions.  Since their original appearance, Gatchaman has been through several incarnations and adaptations; the characters and the team itself have been given several different names each; Ken has also been known as Mark, Ace Goodheart and Hunter Harris the Hawk and the team has also been known as G-Force and Eagle Riders.

I rendered this fanart a couple of years ago and decided to prepare & submit it here as a tribute to the great Casey Kasem, who passed away 15 June '14.  His voice for this character in the Battle of the Planets version of this anime was one of many memorable voiceworks he provided throughout the decades.

Copyright:
- Gatchaman concept, characters and designs are copyright (c) Tatsunoko Productions

Pose:
- Do an image search on the net for "gatchaman" or "ken the eagle" and you're bound to see several instances of the awesome drawn & painted artwork that I've (with some effort) based this rendered pose & camera angle off.  Most of the found instances accompany articles with references to the game Tatsunoko vs . Capcom : Ultimate All-Stars, so I presume that's where the artwork originated from; though I'd love to hear from anyone who knows who created it & who it actually belongs to.

Software:
- Carrara 7 Pro
- Photoshop: Resizing & signaturing
