xparrotI'm not especially an artist, but for various reasons, just recently I've been drawing a lot. And most of what I've been drawing has been One Piece, though I've never really done anime fanart before. But current manga events have been...inspiring. So, here's cute. Featuring everyone's favorite sharpshooter and his crewmates.
Zoro as usual goes straight to the point...why talk it out when this is so much easier?
Drew this one the wrong way on the page, ran outa room for his feet. >__>
Sanji & Usopp have just the sweetest friendship.
*peck* aww...
Who can resist a 2-foot-tall blue-nosed reindeer? No one, that's who!
And Luffy...will come. As soon as I can conceive of something to my liking. It's the hardest, for obvious reasons...

Date: 2004-08-26 08:13 pm (UTC)actually Sanji has his arm around Usopp quite a bit. My favorite is when they're going up Reverse Mountain and they do the fist-into-hand "Oh, I get it!" gesture, only it's Usopp's fist into Sanji's hand *^^*

Date: 2004-09-18 08:29 am (UTC)And I will get back to writing those other stories, too - promise ^__^
Re: Nice
Date: 2004-09-21 04:20 pm (UTC)Hey I'm reading and enjoying Tiger Hunt. If OP didn't have such goofy looking characters, maybe I could get into it, so I am really enjoying your fanfic because I don't have to look at the characters and I can make them different in my mind. Do you ever do that?
I restate how sorry I am that Fox Box picked up OP,it would have been better on anime unleashed or adult swim.
I wish I could write like you. I will hold you to your promise about DV and R2B.
Keep sharing your talent. You are so-o-o good at writing fics!

Re: OP Drawing STyle
Date: 2004-09-22 12:23 am (UTC)You know, I had that problem when I first started watching OP. I saw the manga in a Shonen Jump ages before I watched it, and didn't like the way it was drawn and then never pursued it until a friend FORCED me to watch it.
Now it's grown on me and I don't mind it as much.
...but I still like a lot of the fanart because it makes them look a little less doofy sometimes.
(Even if doofy DOES fit most of their personalities brilliantly...)
-k.
Re: Nice
Date: 2004-09-22 08:57 am (UTC)You might want to give OP's art another chance. I'm one of the few who liked the style from the start - I'm a fan of Western cartoons and saw elements of Warner Bros in Luffy's design. But I didn't imagine I could ever take it seriously. And then I found that it's one of the best manga & anime series I've ever seen, and the art is part of what makes it. I have lots of OP doujinshi, and many artists draw them beautifully--but I find I prefer Oda-sensei's depictions to anyone else's. The incredibly creative talent, the energy and feeling in his pictures, perfectly captures the characters. Other artists may draw the crew more attractively, but it isn't ever quite them, the chars I love so much.
--Which is another reason I urge you to get into OP, because my fanfic doesn't nearly do them justice...they're HARD characters to write... >_>

Date: 2004-09-18 08:28 am (UTC)Besides, if Usopp does leave for good, like this, it's going to ruin everything that came before for me. I won't be able to enjoy any of the arcs involving Usopp - which is all of them - and probably won't be a OP fan anymore. So, yes - I hope he does come back!
no subject
Date: 2004-09-18 11:23 am (UTC)I don't know. I guess we'll see. Everyone's convinced that Oda wouldn't do something like that, but there's always the chance that he's trying to prove that he can do more than just fun and games all the time.
Then again, maybe I'm just a stupid fanfiction writer that's let angst infest her brain and seep through her ear-holes.

Date: 2004-09-18 12:19 pm (UTC)There's enough angst in real life - I like happy endings in my fiction. And I personally don't believe that angst and pain and depressing finales make a work of fiction any more meaningful or powerful than one that's ultimately upbeat *shrugs* To each one's own!
re: angst
Date: 2004-09-21 11:53 pm (UTC)I'm not exactly sure that that was what she was trying to say. I've noticed for myself that I'm simply better at writing angst than happy stuff.

Date: 2004-09-22 07:26 am (UTC)Re: angst
Date: 2004-09-22 10:59 am (UTC)I don't think it's angst or depression that makes a good ending or a good story either, so I even more understand.
I, myself, just happen to be a sucker for angst. Writing it and reading it. Personal taste, is all.
What I like most about OP is the upbeat absurdity, as well, so Again, I understand that, too.
I, myself, at this point, however, am not sure I even want Usopp to come back, because I'm so ticked off at him. >.<
-k.
Re: angst
Date: 2004-09-22 12:18 pm (UTC)Speaking of such, why so angry with Usopp? He's overreacting, yes, but he's had a very rough time of it lately, and Luffy wasn't anywhere near as sympathetic as he could have been. From Usopp's point of view, it really did look like Luffy was casually throwing away the thing Usopp treasures most, something for which he got beaten almost to the point of death - and he still failed to protect the money. His self-esteem is at an all-time low; he's seventeen and his dreams are all crumbling around him. It's very human to fight with the people closest to you when you're that hurt and upset. I didn't like watching them fight like that, and I didn't agree with Usopp's challenge, but I completely understand why he did it...and now he needs a hug!
Re: angst
Date: 2004-09-22 01:09 pm (UTC)The other thing I'm seeing is that, while Rufi doesn't seem very sympathetic, I can see that the decision he's making is for the good of the entire crew. Sometimes being in a leader position forces someone to make decisions that benifit the whole no matter how difficult they may be to make.
Say they couldn't afford to fix the ship, sailed with it anyway and it sunk?
It makes more sense to me to take a piece of it with him-- something sentimental, perhaps, and move on.
I know how hard it must be to leave behind the one piece of home he's got left and not be able to keep the ship that comes from the girl he's been infatuated with his entire life, but sometimes things just happen that way...Nothing to be done with it.
Seemingly insensitive or not, I agree with Rufi on his decison.
