Description Okay, did the best I could with this (and I think it turned out 'all right'...)

My first successful attempt at drawing Captain Bulge from Galaxy Railways! (Hope this looks okay, shutenkoma!)

I've watched as many Matsumoto-related anime as I can (but my favorites are still the Harlock-related ones ^ ^ )

my picture pales in comparision to yours. My picture of Bulge is all faded and not that good looking at all. truthfully the picture i drew sucks compared to yours. oh one question about harlock; are his eyes brown or are they silver? cause in te screenshots i have seen his eyes are brown but in your story you said that they are silver so which are they?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RurouniGemini83 In reply to Schwanhelt [2010-07-05 14:04:27 +0000 UTC]

Well, usually, they ARE brown, lol (It's just that, when I started writing 'Nine Hundred Years..', the only new Harlock story I'd watched at the time, had been Harlock Saga! ^ ^;; )

Getting back to the Bulge pic...How long ago did you draw yours?

Hmm...then maybe you should try inking the next one, so the lines don't fade out on you (or has the first one been colored in yet? If not, then maybe that one could still be inked in! Believe me, the inking alone will make a world of difference! )

yeah i know, I have a picture of wataru up in the same style tat the one of bulge is in and it seems that Bulge is getting more "love" than wataru. oh yeah saw that picture of harlock you made and um yeah i couldn'e say anyting i was speechless at it

I don't mind at all! (In fact, I was kinda hoping you would!)

^ ^;;

Maybe I'll get around to drawing a few more for GR (the only two characters I don't think I'll ever draw though, are Layla Destiny and that blond-haired crewmember...One I hate because she led Wataru seemingly to his death, and the other because he's such a....well, you know)

Well it is and done! XD

Oh, you mean Bruce? I lOOoooOve Bruce, he didn't turn out so bad at the end of the season! .... After he died that is. D:< Hrmm, I don't really mind about Layla, she's just the weepy lady that doesn't do much. X3

RurouniGemini83 In reply to Schwanheld [2009-08-17 02:37:34 +0000 UTC]

I guess early on in the series, Bruce rubbed me the wrong way...And Layla Destiny I just hated because she killed off the best-looking and most-interesting member of the cast (in my honest opinion, lol).

(It must also be that Wataru had had the Harlock look and attitude, that I truly despised Layla for killing him off like that....)

Schwanheld In reply to RurouniGemini83 [2009-08-17 03:27:07 +0000 UTC]

Really now? But I do agree with you on the best looking/interesting part. <3 Wataru I don't think Layla really killed him, but as she said, 'escorted' him to his ..... death.

I always say, just give Wataru a scar, an eyepatch, angry eyebrows and a pirate suit, and you've got Harlock! XD

You need to watch the second season of GR though! o.o

RurouniGemini83 In reply to Schwanheld [2009-08-17 20:01:35 +0000 UTC]

I was actually debating whether or not to draw another 'Backstage' pic, but this time have it where Wataru's wearing Harlock's red uniform from 'Arcadia of My Youth', and have Harlock end up with Wataru's Sirius Platoon uniform!

(Wouldn't THAT be an interesting switch? Lol)

Schwanheld In reply to RurouniGemini83 [2009-08-17 21:29:38 +0000 UTC]

YES. I'd LOVE to see it!!! X3 And of course Wataru would be all smiley, and Harlock would be all, 'DO NOT WANT'. XDDD

In other words, the same reaction as in the first 'Backstage Mix-up' pic....Though I can only wonder who the ' culprits' will be, this time, lol!

Or maybe Wataru's wife Kanna, and Maya? (The wives getting back at their husbands for being so reckless? lol)

Schwanheld In reply to RurouniGemini83 [2009-08-18 22:50:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that'd work, though I feel like Bulge is more of Wataru's wife than Kanna is. XDDD But I'd love to see it in any case!

I'd put him in there too, if I had a few more good shots of him to work from (as it is, it's going to be interesting to try and draw Wataru and Kanna, since good guides of them are hard to come by....And I can no longer make my own....)

And that has a few good Kanna ones, if you need what her full out-fit looks like, I can sketch it for you!

GOOD LUCK.

A full-outfit sketch for Kanna would be very helpful! Thanks!

Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy 'Arcadia of My Youth', since that movie was the one that had first introduced me to the 'Leijiverse' ! (and more specifically, Harlock! )

It wassss AMAZING. 8D I'm rethinking my original thought that AomY was a ripoff for fifty-dollars on Amazon. XDD
I was introduced to the Leijiverse through Galaxy Railways, and then to Harlcok from the Endless Odyssey, Outside Legend anime, the newer one.

RurouniGemini83 In reply to Schwanheld [2009-08-20 16:27:34 +0000 UTC]

Glad you enjoyed it! ^ _ ^

There was originally a TV series that had followed the movie called 'Endless Road SSX ' (and the comic books produced by Eternity Press also followed Arcadia of My Youth, in much the same way...)

When 'Arcadia' was re-released on DVD a few years back, it took all I had not to cry tears of joy (because my VHS player was beginning to wear out, and I was afraid that the tapes and VCRs would soon become obsolete...hence making it impossible for me to watch the movie anymore...)

I was also extremely fortunate to have found a full set of the ani-manga for the movie about a year or so ago, as well! (The site I'd gotten them from even had GE 999 and Queen Millenia ani-manga!) They're in Japanese, but at least it proves that they exist!

Hmmmmm I'll have to check it out! I've also heard of the Harlock Saga which is just six parts, but I haven't seen it yet. >>

Aww! I'm glad! ((And slightly jealous!!!))

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?? Now I'm super jealous! Do they have the furigana for the kanji?

Looks that way to me.

(and if I can trust my memory, I think I may have gotten the Arcadia of My Youth ani-manga from either eBay or Amazon.com....I'd had the site itself bookmarked, before the computer it'd been on crashed...I hate modern technology, sometimes... > <;;;; )

Especially difficult to explain, when it comes to THE Space Pirate of all space pirates, ne?

(and I'm sorry, but that butt-ugly kid from One Piece doesn't exactly count for any kind of pirate, in my honest opinion....)

I'd one time found the full series (on eBay, I think....) yet it's only got the Japanese language track without subtitles.

If I could, I'd make some copies and send them your way (but I'm not sure how... ^ ^;;; )

In some ways, I'm kinda 'technologically inept' lol.
