Description Kuku, fuuun.
I wonder why most of the Asians do that peace-thing when someone photographs them. It looks really awesome when you see a photo with 10 or so Japanese/Chinese tourists and every one of them points with their peaces into the camera.
Maybe this gesture has a historical background? Someone, enlighten me.

I think the colors are a bit too luminous but I like it better that way. Coloring it was a fun job to do because this time I didn't really think about it. My hand just slid over the GT and left behind that messy something I would call an 'alright coloration' xD

Minna no peace, you know, Gurren Lagann, 3rd ending, etc.

This is a pretty nifty colour job for just an "alright coloration" :I Also like the arrangement a lot.
Anyways I think they don't even use the peace sign all that often anymore nowadays...? Glaube ich zumindest mich daran zu erinnern was anderes gesehen zu haben... Maybe thumbs up is the thing. Historically, maybe the first person ever doing this on a photo was like "Okay but take TWO so there's a chance that none of use blinks in one of the photos" and later when they developed the film dudes were like "Oh so this is the new pose you have to strike? Makes sense cause it looks pretty cool" and that's how it spread. Weil die Japaner absolute Herdentiere sind und sich Trends wie ein Lauffeuer verbreiten.

Oh!
And I forgot to ask in the last comment, does it say, "Minna No Peace" in the background, like the Gurren Lagann ending theme?

I think it's like saying,
"I'm going to look cute/awesome/cool in this photo! Victory for me!"

But it's just so darn cute I never bothered to find out for real what it means. XD

Hot colors, do you use photoshop?

It's not so much a peace sign as it is a victory sign I think. As for why they do it I do not know!

lol, how do you know what doughnuts are called here in Germany?
No need to be confused, that dude over there is kinda special so he is the only one writing comments in German.

Thanks for your comment!

heehee, the english comedian Eddie Izzard has a sketch where he talks about kennedy and the berlin wall, and how, due to a translating error, instead of saying "I am a Berliner!" he called himself a creme filled doughnut that gets its name from berlin...

Macht Jesus nicht auch immer so? Zwei Finger in die HΓΆh, olΓ©! Aber was haben die Japaner mit Jesus zu tun? Globalisierung, ick hΓΆr dir trappsen!
Ich find die Coloration geilo! SchΓΆn experimentell und limettig, das passt zum Sommer (wΓ€re er denn da)
