''Rage, you damn nerd!'' by Pink-Lady03 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

While I've been keeping up with the anime faithfully since Season 2 started I sadly on recently got around to reading the second volume of the manga (I know, I know, I'm doing it totally backwards....) and I just had to draw the cover after I remembered how epic this fight was. I'd also kinda been looking for an excuse to include Bakugo in something just because I've kinda been neglecting him. (I blame his hair and those grenade gauntlets of his...)

As for the drawing itself, the grenade part of Bakugo's gloves and Izuku's elbow pad had to be hard-traced because they were too dark to attempt even with help, but other than thatI got through the rest with my usual help on placement and scale. I also promise that Izuku's mask will have a little more detail (IE, that mesh texture) when I color it and can use an opacity effect, but for the time being I wanted his costume to be more visible.

My Hero Academina and all of its characters, including Izuku and Bakugou, are (c) Kohei Horikoshi, ViZ Media, Shonen Jump and any other respective owners I may not know/have listed or be aware of. I do not own the character in any way, shape or form, I am just a fan!
