I took myself on a task to see if I can replicate the look of environments that Manga artists do.
But I discovered something even more interesting..

I still have absolutely zero idea how the hell all those Japanese manga artists draw those mind-blowing environments.. dozens of them.. HUNDREDS.. But I discovered that NO MATTER what environment you draw in Japan, in manga style, it will ALWAYS look AMAZING! Japan is just that beautiful of a country.
This shot was a completely 100% totally random pick in Google Maps.
After this I found several more amazing scenes that would look phenomenal if rendered in Manga style. All in a radius of 300 meters of this area.

The story is that Humanity has faced some unknown enemy. Black creatures that came from the darkness. Wiped out 90% of population - humans found shelter underground. They fixed the last armored mobile suits they found and trying to fight for the last hope.
