Took me a month, but I had to get in on everyone else drawing MSG bunny suit men.

Since Hal's an oldtaku, had to do the Daicon IV bunny girl outfit.

Happy 40th Anniversary to the original Daicon 4 Film! It was first screened at Daicon IV opening ceremonies in Japan on August 20th, 1983. Hideaki Anno, Hiroyuki Yamaga and Takami Akai would later go on to found Gainax. You can read a translation of the production report from 1983 published in now defunct Animec magazine on Zimmerit here!

I drew some of my favorite gainax characters.

Context for the 2nd image: Phantom Arcade has stated that Gf may have been inspired by the girl from Daicon IV Opening Animation without him even realizing it, as he has been a fan of the anime for a long time (both characters have auburn hair, red outfits and tremendous power).

wanted to do a fall themed daicon girl for an avatar update but wound up with this instead

daicon girl ダイコン

this year was the 40th anniversary of the DAICON IV opening, one of my favourite animations ever I was too busy to draw a homage on time and... I'm still busy but whatever, here's a doodle of the daicon girl

Cover of the program for the 22nd Japan Science Fiction Convention, aka Daicon IV, held at the Osaka Welfare Pension Hall on 20 and 21 August 1983. The cover art is by mangaka Satomi Mikuriya of his character Nora Scholar from his manga Nora.

I have a message from another time....

On the 20th of August 1983, Daicon IV was released. It was made by Daicon Film, a 12 man studio with the 3 founding members being Hideaki Anno, Hiroyuki Yamaga, and Takami Akai. The studio would later go on to become Gainax studios.

Happy 40th Anniversary! 🎉
