Description I've been feeling abit edgy lately because I haven't been able to draw properly for a few days, does it show?


The Kanji in the background means "Endurance- to persevere against great odds and suffering", figured it worked fairly well with the Arlong story for both of them.

I CRY EVERY TIME AT THAT BACKSTORY EIICHIRO YOU GIT.

Oh well, funny will return soon! Don't worry! Just wanted to play around with water effects and junk really.

I love this picture! It really captures the feelings that occurred during the Arlong Arc, which is also my favorite arc to date. Keep up the amazing work!

I'm not a Sanji/Nami fan (Lu/Na ftw), but I like this picture too much not to fave it.

If this picture wasn't geared toward Sa/Na, I still like it.

SemiJuggalo [2008-07-17 00:22:53 +0000 UTC]

Excellent work!

The Arlong arc is one of my favorite parts of One Piece! Sanji was in pretty deep (no pun intended... or was it?) fighting Kuroobi, but once his chivalry was insulted, he knew he had to hang in there and kick his scaly ass!

You also captured Nami's sadness perfectly here! I can really see the eight years of pain and misery finally getting the better of her! Every time I see the part where she swallows her pride and begs Luffy to help her, I get pumped, because you KNOW that the crap is about to hit the fan for Arlong and his crew!

dreamcaster16 [2008-06-05 02:12:12 +0000 UTC]

personally i think it doesn't show very promptly that you are having a hard time drawing except for sanji's pose. It seems a little off to me.

But other than that, I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!

Wow. This is stunning. I absolutely love this. The blood on Namis sholdier, Bothe their expretions, Namis pose, this is seriously a wonderfull piece of work, ad the emotions rool off the page.

I feel a bit guilty pointing out that Sanji's neck is a little long. >.<

I feel a little guilty for pointing out that it's "Nami's shoulder", "expressions", "Nami's pose", "wonderful", "and" the emotions "roll" off the page.

XD Sorry, English Language student at heart.

Otherwise, thanks! I know Sanji's neck looks sort of long but trust me, he's just had his head walloped by a karate-using merman, it's fairly long and skinny in the initial drawings anyway, and it's at an angle where it would be accentuated. Sorry, I tired my best

This picture is amazing!!

It portrays so much emotion; via the amazing and expressive colouring and the expressions and poses you've drawn on Nami and Sanji!! x3 it's truely magnificent! You've drawn them both fantastically, and the anatomy is spot on
I cry at Nami's backstory all the time, too. xD No matter how many times i watch it over. For some reason i especially can't look at the scene were she's stabbing her tattoo. @_@;

Oh man, tell me about it, that part always makes me cringe even though I'm generally not a squeemish person. I'm glad you like it so much! I put a lot of effort into this one, so it means a lot to me that you picked up on that :3

Wow. The pain and emotion just comes rolling off the screan. o.o Is is seriously awesome. The blood from Nami's sholder turned out really well, as did both of their hair and Nami's pose. I'm kinda reluctant to point out that Sanji's neck looks a little wrong, because this is such an amazeing picture. ^o^""" ...Both of their expretions are done exspecially great.

Have I ever told you how much I love your art? xD
