#simple2000 series

Recently YouTube's recommendation algorithm pushed a 1996 arcade game, "Janken Game Acchi Muite Hoi! (Rock-Paper-Scissors, Look Over Here!/ジャンケンゲーム、あっち向いてホイ)", onto the homepage. One of the combat characters shown in the game's idle animation is a high school girl named tomomi, drawn by artist Akio Watanabe. As the character animation is very cute, it became a small hit on X as well.

Note: This so-called rock-paper-scissors game is where, after both sides show their choices, the winner shouts “Look over here!” while pointing in one of four directions—up, down, left, or right. If the loser turns their head to the same direction the winner pointed, they lose. It's basically an expanded version of a party game.

This time I grabbed onto the character's popularity and quickly made a few full-body images of JK characters as well.

So images 1–3 are the three different JKs I found from this search, and images 4–6 are pictures that more closely reflect the original game's style.

I used the following prompt this time:

Redraw this picture in TV animation art style, change to side view.
