Welcome to...
The Urman-chan Gallery!




This page is dedicated to the Russian figure skater Alexei Urmanov, but more specifically, my silly cartoons of him. :-) These cartoons are done in the "super-deformed" Japanese style of cartooning (also known as chibi ). It is called "super-deformed" as it warps normal body proportions to that of a child. Note my example above... ^_~

Oh, about the name of the page... -chan means little, and Alexei's name sort of rhymes with that, so I thought it would be a cute name for the page. :-) Anyways...

Interested in more? Have a look around!
