Description

DISCLAIMER: I do not condone Chris Niosi's past actions that have gotten him fired from certain voice acting roles or cost him certain social relationships. This Tribute will remain visible for viewing due to the work that I put into the print and that he put into the roles he's portrayed. Not only do I think of it as "separating art from artist," but I currently see him as a "better persona than person."

The first of my New Rebooted Voice Actor Tribute series! Representing Chris "Kirbopher" Niosi, artist/animator, voice actor, YouTube star and all-around great public figure, he essentially inspired me to revive this fanart series, as well as take my art much more seriously in general. Despite his less than favorable past actions (see above paragraph), I still take that inspiration to heart and am grateful for that. Anyway, let's name some characters!

Characters listed from Bottom-left to Top-right include:

Top Row:
Khoury - Pokemon Diamond & Pearl series
Reigen Arataka - Mob Psycho 100
Dezel - Tales of Zestiria
Alex Eggelston - YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG
Lord Uroko - Nagi-Asu: A Lull in The Sea

Middle Row:
----------------
Shaiapouf - Hunter X Hunter
Garma Zabi - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin
Colress - Pokemon Generations
Haruo Sakaki - Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

Top Row:
-----------
Ernesto, Nick Army, Neil & Pird - OK KO: Let's Be Heroes!
Zetto - TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise (2011 Web series / Also creator)
Lancer of Red / Karna - Fate/Apocrypha
Void Dark - Disgaea 5
Helios / Pegasus - Sailor Moon
Ryuichi & Ryuji - River City Girls
Kirbopher - TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise (2011 Web series / Also creator)

In the center is a caricature of Chris himself dressed as Chris Frost from his College Thesis film, Balancing Act, looking angelic, if only to resemble a central character in the series he created, based on the print's theme. Also, scattered across the Tribute are ten references to characters he's voiced throughout his career. Can you name them all?

NOTE: This illustration is the definitive version of the Tribute and will not be changed or updated for any reason. The selection of characters is based on popular representation, audience suggestions, and also personal gratification, either to the voice actor in question, or to myself. If any character you wanted to see represented here is not, I apologize, but this is just how I wanted to craft the picture. Please understand.
