ahh... he is looking over his shoulder because his friend has just busted into the bar.... they have cornered the "clowns" nearby =) (a rival biker gang..)
incase you didn't know, this is from the anime "Akira" which i still consider the best cartoon ever made.

| hmm, maybe it's cus he's so intricately shaded, and then his eye is all cartoony (heh does look like Kaneda though,) simplify the shading a bit, and uhm... if there's a highlight on his ear, where is it on his cheek? or his jacket for that matter, I mean it was a red jacket I believe |

well, that is how the shading is in the reference pic i used..... the eye is just an odd shape.. my eyes aren't very good so i tend to draw things on a slant.

The things that make Akira so great are the little things. When they produced the movie they were animating a lot of little things that even Disney wouldn't want to spend time with. What it delivers is a vibrant movie that seems full of life and not so different from our world.
I know this guy that has watched this movie so many times and he is always talking about something new he saw. Always a new detail that was animated

I think I like "Ghost in the Shell" better.
Although, the story is really twisted (and the movie ends in a really strange way).
