Description Finally I finished! Here is the full view. If you still can't see well it in full view or download let me know.



This is for a challenge over at The theme was "after school activities." In Franky's case if he attended a regular highschool, he might be a part of the swim team. He looks prettier than I intended to make him. lol Not that that's so bad.

I'm trying to use the same coloring technique I did on
I am curious to know what my friends/watchers think of the somewhat "painterly" style and the bright colors. <_<
Textures are by ~KeyMoon [link] and from the patterns included in photoshop

Franky from One Piece- belongs to Oda.

Thank you so much!
I've been trying really hard to improve my color skills- I'm trying to find my style still. I don't know whether to aim for something painterly like this or something smooth. Very tough choice.

Lovely picture! I love thew soft colors and tranquil feel. He looks so peaceful, not as loud and rambunctious as usual.

lol Yeah, he's probably resting after a good work out in the pool- he has to catch his breath before he starts acting goofy again.
Thank you!

Wow! This is really good! I'm impressed, seriously! The picture has nice depth, great shading, and your positioning of characters and anatomy is getting even better! I really like Franky's arms and legs. You did a really good job with those. I really think this might be my favourite drawing of yours.

lol I'm talking about the cleaning product Pine Sol (the lady on the commercials saying "That's the power of Pine Sol Baby!") but I mistyped it as pin instead of pine.
