Description OOOOOOO~ This will be my hundredth traditional-media drawing to be posted on here~ Bloody hell I love shading blonde hair...

Well, ~SangoKisaragi knows what's going on here, but none of you other jokers do, so let's explain.

I had an idea for a One Piece AU story the other day. It's set in a half-traditional, half-unusual fantasy world, in which people believe in a pantheon of various supernatural spirits that power the magic in said world. Luffy and the Straw Hats are adventurers, just wandering the world looking for various things- food, booze, pretty girls, treasure, etc... I'm fairly sure you can guess who's looking for what. ^^

Most of the other supporting characters are these spirits who inhabit the world in various places, and these two here in the picture are two of the most powerful spirits. There's Marco (pineapple-haired dude, if you don't know him), who is the Phoenix, representing death and rebirth, and Loki, the Green Lady, representing life. Since the three aspects are cyclical, each complimenting the other, could the bards in the world have done anything else but depict the pair as lovers? ^^ I'm sure you all know how we humans love a good love story~

Their respective tattoos represent each other's powers- the flames for Marco, and the vines for Loki.

They're not going to be major players in the story, but I couldn't resist drawing them. I should draw Adventurer!Luffy, but I gotta finish the Lightyear Pirates first...

One Piece and Marco belong to Eiichiro Oda
story concept and Loki belong to me, *Kemmasandi

ROFL. I just realised I forgot Marco's stubble, but oh well.

I'm completely forgotten about it, but ah well. By the time I got to the background, I'd completely run out of ideas for it, so glad it fits anyway
Thanks very much!

Aww, thanks! ^^ When I was drawing the details, I found out I really like detials, so you can safely expect a few more from me, probably. ^^

Eh, cat. -_- Once he wakes up, he starts mewling and scratching my door because he wants in- he can open all the other doors, but mine has a knob, and since he doesn't have a thumb... *sigh*
And once woken up, I simply can't go back to sleep. *grumble*

Oh dear~ My mom would have the same problem, since our cat sleeps on her bed, but her door doesn't shut properly so Mali-waal can justpush it open and go do her business. ^^

Doh, if only Marci was that independent. >.< Right after waking up, he immediately wants to cuddle for five to ten minutes, and for some reason, he thinks I'm the perfect victim for that. *grumble*

Marci? Cute name for a kitty. It's funny how cats can be so needy at times and so completely aloof and 'I'm better than you' at other times...

Yeah, it's the pet form of "Marcell" 't means "Little Warrior". ... sometimes I think I should have named him "Sparta" though.
Exactly! To him, the "homigawdiloveyoumorethaneeeeeverything!" stage is right after someone comes home, and lasts... ten minutes at most. Selfish little bastard. >3>

Marcell? There's a guy at the school I used to go to called Marcell, and I just had this really strange mental image of him with cat ears... and Simon and Mercedes laughing their asses off in the background... (They were his friends)

My Mali-waal's the same, though when we arrive home from a weekend at Nana's it increases to about an hour. ^^ She's soooo adorable~

Hehe, really? Now that you mention, I know a Marcell too. A short, blonde guy... and now that I think about it, he looks kinda like Toki... >.>

Hah, then she must be a really cute, affectionate kitty.
I heard that if you blink slowly at the cat and it blinks back, that means they love you. (I tried that with a lion at the zoo- he blinked back. )

Kemmasandi In reply to Weresquirrel94 [2010-10-19 03:24:09 +0000 UTC]

Blonde? My Marcell was blonde as well! Though he was pretty tall... He himself wasn't my friend, but my friends were friends with him, so we ended up hanging out together a lot... Wow, you know a real-life Toki? Coool~ I saw a real-life Ren the other day, only his hair wasn't quite so bright... and I don't know what gender he was underneath his pants, so yeah.

She is~ I'mma go try that with my kitty... see if she likes me... *suddenly nervous*

Weresquirrel94 In reply to Kemmasandi [2010-10-19 19:47:25 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, that's quite a coincidence! Blonde? Grey eyed? Going out with a tall, black hermaphrodite?
Gasp! Maybe we unconsciously DO base characters off of people we know in real life. Now that I think about it, Marcell... has quite a few qualities in common with my Doki... Though I would love to meet the real-life Yukiya for sure. O~or, I'd drool a bit over real life Yuu-kun~

Didya succeed?

Well, since I don't really have a chance knowing who she is, I'm not gonna ask who is it...

Hold it, hold it, we're gonna fix it! Get a slice of ham in your hand, and try it again! Works eeevery time.

If it has meat in it, it will work. From that point of view, cats are mini-Luffys.

I just can say Owwwwwwww... It's twice as good when colored. Didn't see before some little details, like Loki's hairdo. Now I see it, the thing she has on her head looks like Marco's belt, or is it just me?

Oh, I just envy your coloring so much... And yeah, blonde hair is the most entertaining to shade

Kemmasandi In reply to SangoKisaragi [2010-10-14 02:37:18 +0000 UTC]

Complicated linearts can make it a wee bit difficult to see the details, that's true. Yes, that thing on Loki's head does look a wee bit like Marco's belt- I hadn't realised until I'd linearted it, but I looked at it and thought 'hey, that's kind of a cool coincidence.'

Heh, I can't claim all of the credit for that colouring- I have a set of absolutely brilliant pencils that do most of the work!

Oh, c'mon, don't say that! Your coloring is really extraordinary. I'd be great if you did some kind of tutorial to help people like me xD

Kemmasandi In reply to SangoKisaragi [2010-10-19 03:16:38 +0000 UTC]

Dirty mind? I must confess, I hadn't considered that way of looking at it...

Well, it's kinda hard to explain, despite being so simple... I just get my pencils, and colour the darkest shades first, then the lighter ones over the top. Usually I use three or four different shades, which may or may not make a difference... and I play around with pressing harder or softer on the pencil... and I think that's all...

SangoKisaragi In reply to Kemmasandi [2010-10-21 23:21:10 +0000 UTC]

See? I'm way too mentally perverted, I should be away from normal minded people xD

So, you start with the shading first? Never thought about it... I may try one day to see what it'd look like :3 But I won't expect too much, I'm that bad at coloring xD

Kemmasandi In reply to SangoKisaragi [2010-10-22 05:23:06 +0000 UTC]



Yeah, shading first, because it'll show up underneath the lighter colours. For some things too, I go over the top with a white pencil, and it gives a nice shiny effect, like silk or something. ^^
