Thomas Romain is a French anime artist who lives in Tokyo. He's worked on various series including Space Dandy, Basquash!, and Aria, but his best ideas actually come from his kids' drawings. Working together in what he calls the Father And Sons Design Workshop, Thomas and his sons come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful anime drawings. Well, his kids actually come up with them, and then Thomas adds his professional touch to his kids' drawing ideas turning them into everything from steampunk doctors and snake fighters to cloud dwellers and sand golems. His doodles-turned-anime-characters are so good actually that we couldn't help ourselves but get a tiny bit jealous of nobody re-drawing our scribbles when we were little.
Check out some of our favorite drawing ideas of the bunch below, and don't forget to vote for the best!

Load More Replies...He flipped off their leader, and that's how he ended up dead. Poor guy.
Load More Replies...I enjoyed this story the most! Why ? Because I enjoyed it with my 12 yr old aspiring anime artist !!! We may glean some inspiration from the 7 year old !!!!
Tulip Brothers
Yup....was envisioning a guy with a bouquet of dwarfs

Steampunk Doctor
I love this one, he looks really cool, like one of the characters that girls have "anime-crushes" on, lol. ^^
Man, I loved Brendon Urie's outfit from the Ballad of Mona Lisa video

hope you guys will consider creating your own book or something :D cause your characters are very original :D
Fire Guardian
Snake Fighter
His child I'm assuming. They do live in Japan.

The lollipop would probably kill you from diabetes though...
Load More Replies...Now that I think about it, snakes and lollipops seem made for each other.
Sand Golem
Eye Monster
i love how he adds a little more (the lower body and clothes) (T^T) so good
K-3 (Keisan)
Magic Knight
This is so cute , it should be a cartoon show of an explorer that comes in peace.
this is my most favorite :D Kids have amazing imagination,But this kid, clearly is a lot of levels up :D and well we all can see the father is talented, runs in the family XD so so soooo lucky! i cant even invent a monster or character that would pass my own eyes XD
Cosmic Robot
Cyborg
Killer Ball
It's obvious that the son has inherited his dad's talent. Kudos to both of them :)
This child is unbelievably talented. Dad is too. But the kid is awesome. Rare to see this much imagination and out-of-the-box thinking in children nowadays.
Well it doesnt say his age so it can be a 70yr old man with his 40-50yr old son
Load More Replies...This guy is amazing, I wanna see a game in his style, it would be so cool!
Load More Replies...Weird that in all these comments no one seems to realize that it is not ONE son. The father works with his sons (plural) which is also depicted in the level of work by the boys. Anyway, really terrific work by all!
I am assum Not this is more than one son, as the level of artistry is obvious that at there is at least two young lads here, plus the header says sons' in any case wonderful work
