Description So me, ~spongerat , ~Rushifa , and ~Ohma have been rewatching Slayers, which was a highschool obsession of ours. Then we all dared eachother to draw fanart and put it on DA. (Well not so much ~Ohma )So this happened. So anyway, Lina and Gourry from Slayers! I drew them in their manga outfits, cuz it's less ugly.

Oh, now this is good and you definitely have the dynamic poses here-- I think I like this one best! Very cute features, good anatomy, it just bounces off the page.

The same thing happened to me recently. Loved this show as a kid, but I wasn't sure if I liked it because it was good or because I was an idiot back then. But it was just as good as I remembered.

Cheers to that ^_^ I used to love Zelgadis' dub voice too, but now i'm such a sub snob that I couldn't bear it Ah well!

lol I know what you mean. After hearing the original voices, I could never go back to the dub. Especially Xellos's "Now that's... a secret!" Killed my ears every time. D:

I got Ranma, Slayers, Slayers Next, Slayers Try, Kenshin, Gravitation, Trigun, Peace Maker, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Escaflowne, Love Hina, His and Her Circumstances, Fushigi Yugi.. and more ^_^'
God I'm a geek

Man I loved Escaflowne and the first season or two of Kenshin. Those titles are bringing back so many 90s memories... A mile or so from where I used to live there was a comic book store that rented anime, and me and my friends would always walk over to rent stuff after school. Good times, good times.

Yeah hen I first moved to Edmonton there was a video store that rented anime and I got hooked on a bunch of stuff I'd never been exposed to I haven't really been keeping up on the new stuff.. i've sen some Bleach and an episode or two of naruto but I really fell hard for Ranma and Kenshin and the like

squidlarkin In reply to not-sleeping [2008-04-17 22:35:55 +0000 UTC]

I haven't been keeping up with the newer stuff. I'm sure some of it's good, but most of what I've seen didn't interest me much.

But it's fun to be an older anime fan with the new craze going on. "When I was your age, Inuyasha wasn't on tv! We had to buy Chinese DVDs off of ebay, and oh were the subtitles terrible! Now it's dubbed and on tv... bah!"

You got it! We can preach about the glory days of watching fan subbed VHS in a crowded basement and bemoaning that today's anime just doesn't have the same soul

MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

But ug, the english dub was pretty bad. I'm glad I got to see it in japanese ^^

I and my sister agree - one of the most awesome animes of all time. And we also agree the english dubbing stunk. Anyone else notice that the guy they got for Gourry was the same one who does Brock's (of Pokemon fame) english voice?

My only good memory of the bad dubbing was watching the part where Shabranigdo shows up and switching between english and japanese; he goes "Hee hee hee *switch* ho ho ho *switch* hee hee hee..."

Great work! I can't say I'm particularly familiar with the setting, so I have no idea if they look anything like they're supposed to Anyway, I love the shading and the SFX on the energy ball thingy.

Sea Urchin of Ultimate DESTRUCTIOOON!
This has sooo much nostalgia, I swear. Those sleep-overs were /crazy/! (I really like the way Gourry's sword looks like it's shiny; the lines are neat ) Man, all those tapes x.x Do you guys still have it all on VHS? o.o

squidlarkin In reply to Rhapsodia [2007-03-18 18:40:04 +0000 UTC]

I think I still have all of it.... somewhere. >_< I know Rob's mom has a lot of it back in Eugene. And do you still have a few tapes? I don't remember. >_< The awesome thing is that Lucy has it all on DVD, so we've just been watching that. Haha yeah... good old high school... we were totally nuts

I like the spark

The haven't seen the watchers, but I have a good picture from looking at your art on how they might behave
good work!

Thank you! Yeah, I've always had problems drawing spells of any kind, but I don't think that one ended up too badly

yeah, there's so much stuff we need to make you watch! Maybe that should be a goal for summer...Slayers rocks, and you really need to see Ouran High School Host Club. I know you'll love it, and given another month or so I'll totally be ready to rewatch it!

I know! It's weird how that is. My only problem was that I wasn't sure if sophisticated was the look they should be going for...

Hey, they're classic now! A touch of class would make Lina happy, I think.
