Gatchaman 'G5' by Dave Wilkins

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far...well more like an awesome film that never made it to screen I got to work on my favorite childhood anime show. This was one of my designs for G5, at the time he was the oldest member of the group. ultimately scripts change, most importantly so did directors and the movie became another Hollywood tale of what could have been...but I still like the design :)"

Said Dave Wilkins of the above illustration, which will be a part of his artbook coming out next year - including all other Gatchaman designs, the God Phoenix, and Splatterhousr, DC, Mattel and other projects. Check out more of his work on dave-wilkins.deviantart.com.

Seeing the recently posted interview clip for the GATCHAMAN live-action movie, made me wonder how the heck their skinny body frames will fit a G-Force uniform, when this buffed dude appeared! LOL
