I'm torn on how to react. I'm a web developer and artist too, and that's some DAMN good art and flash work. on the other hand, I have this weird feeling that dude is objectifying japanese girls/men too much. Also noticed that the women were really sexy and well drawn, while the guys were all short squat cartoon characters.
I'm torn because I've seen this kind of thing from japanese artists 'too'. so does it make it okay? is it wrong because this tokidoki guy is italian? I don't know, I'm really torn. for now I can say for sure that this guy is really talented, great skills.

In his resume, he says he just moved to LA. I wonder that it means he's never lived in Japan. For example note how he "gets" the postures and pigeon-toe funkiness of the women so correctly and yet has the leg length so wrong. Yet, if he was Japanese, I wouldn't think to even mention it since that's just the way a Japanese would draw damp dreams.
Hey wait a minute! That's not a pink dragon in the background of that TAT is it? We may have a copyright infringement here!
