Regular visitors to Bored Panda will no doubt be familiar with the incredibly cool drawings of Thomas Romain. He's a French anime artist living in Tokyo who's worked on popular anime characters from various series including Space Dandy, Basquash!, and Aria, but his best drawing ideas are the ones that come from his sons.

Working together in what he calls the Father And Sons Design Workshop, Thomas and his kids come up with an eclectic assortment of funny, creepy, and sometimes downright bizarre character designs. Well, it's actually his children who think of them, and then Thomas adds his professional touch to turn them into creative anime drawings - from one-eyed beasts and plant monsters to giant robots and pink-haired hoverboarders. Check out some of our favorite fantasy creatures below, and don't forget to vote for the best! You can follow them on Instagram and YouTube, and you can also support them and their cool characters on Patreon.

I don't know which I admire more...the son's imagination or the dad's talent

That was my question as well. Both have such amazing talent. The child has pure imagination and is learning his skills so well. The father's skills are simply amazing and I would love to see some of his own ideas too. Simply amazing.

I'm a huge anime addict n there's nothing better than the unthinkable and the best part about these drawings is the imagination of a kid with the artistic hand of an adult

    This is my favorite, and I don't know why. I guess because there's more of a story going on in this one.

    The child drew a character with hoofed feet with a pumpkin head skewered on a sword. Wow!

    Reminds me of when I was a kid in the 80s, I made my own line of Masters Of The Universe original characters drawings :D

    This kid has a hell of an imagination. Took me a bit to understand why the father did what he did. simply outstanding.

    I don't know whether to be jealous of their talent, or just happy that they're doing something cool with it

    I'm picturing a series of graphic novels, where the kid draws his version, and they come to life as the dad's version

    Looks a bit like The Luggage in the Discworld series Terry Pratchett, only this one has eyes like a crab. Brilliant!

    Why isn't this guy drawing his own comic strip, or comic book? His skill is exemplary.

    It says in the description at the top of the article that he's an anime artist.

    He and his son should be writing comic books or childrens books. Before the kid looses his imagination.
