OP fanart

[xparrot]

I'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...

Thank you! (I'm sorry, I missed seeing this comment entirely!)
And I will get back to writing those other stories, too - promise ^__^

Don't worry about it, you were busy. I'm use to waiting.

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!

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...)

Thanks for being understanding; still, I'm terribly sorry for not emailing back - I suck! Please apologize to Sanada as well for me...but glad to hear you're enjoying all the stories! I will get back to the others - how could I not, with you guys cheering me on? ^_^

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... >_>
