Description My One Piece OC Vicki Colorado, aka Ms. Black Friday.

Her parents were wealthy, pirates-turned-aristocrats in Alabasta, but they were killed during the rebellion; their fortune split between their four greedy children. Vicki's older siblings all hoarded their money, keeping it safe. She spent hers and now finds herself under a mountain of debt.

Especially dangerous is the amount of money she owes to one Sir Crocodile, or his Casino, at least.

And with nothing lining her pockets, what choice does she have but to pay him back by joining the Rebirth of Baroque works, as the agent Ms. Black Friday?

Vicki has an affinity for snakes, baring a striking resemblance to one herself, thanks to the Hebi-Hebi No Mi (Boa Constrictor Model) She has few fighting skills, but once an enemy is in her grip, she has tremendous crushing power. She can also transform, like most Zoans, into a snake and does so for quick getaways (Mostly when avoiding dept-collectors)

She also has a pet Boa, named Black Jack.


One piece (c) Eichiro Oda
Vicki is mine

I appreciate any and all comments on her design, background, powers- If there's anything I could improve on or should change, I'd like to know.

I actually believed she was a real One Piece character. Her face and smirk is right in style. I like her design (especially the outfit), her story and the background you put there. Her ability to transform into a snake was unexpected but cool. Great work!

I feel like wanting to pick up that golden sword.

Oh really? Sweet I really tried hard to draw her in that style

And I'm glad you like her outfit! The tie/shirt was a last minute decision (it was much more dress-like at first)

All Zoan devil-fruit eaters can transform into an animal. The also have a half-animal half-human form (which I still need to design, lol) There are actually two snake-snake fruit eaters from the show, a Cobra and Anaconda.

Yay, you noticed! I'm actually really proud of that sword XD;;

Yeah really. You've got it well done!

I don't know about the Zoan, so that's why it was unexpected for me. XD But that sounds cool!

Yesh, I usually pay much attention to the backgrounds.

Thanks!

Oh, sorry, lol, I mentioned zoan but I didn't mention what it was. In One Piece, if you eat a devil-fruit, you get a special power and the Zoan devil fruit all have the power to turn you into an animal, basically.

Well I actually did the background because of you when you told me I should work on adding backgrounds in that poll I had So I have you to thank for that!

XD Snake-snake fruit! From the Orochimaru tree!!! ::laughs::

How old is she supposed to be? And if she's poor, why is she sitting on a mountain of gold??

I love her skirt though. Naruto would totally transform into a girl and model it for you ;D

ViridianSoul In reply to cardcaptor-eternity [2010-03-05 00:15:58 +0000 UTC]

There are two other snake-snake fruits already in one piece- the anaconda and cobra. I chose boa constrictor because I wanted a snake that wasn't poisonous, I just hope nobody associates her with Boa Hancock.

She's in her mid to late twenties, I'm actually thinking 24ish for now. And she is poor but she loves gold and money so sitting in piles of it would be like an epic dream of hers =3

Thanks! And who are you kidding, Naruko-chan only likes Mini-skirts

Cool design I like her smirk XD

It'd be neat to see different outfits for her..maybe one with scale stockings or a reference to her snakiness

ViridianSoul In reply to SirCrocodile [2010-03-04 23:47:23 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm really glad, I thought her face was a bit too odd looking

You're right, I should do that. I'm thinking some sort of long slinky dress with the stockings... and I definitely want her pet snake in the next picture so maybe he could act as an accessory XD;

Thanks so much for the input! I really appreciate it!

SirCrocodile In reply to ViridianSoul [2010-03-04 23:54:21 +0000 UTC]

nah, her face has character, which is cool

Gloves would be cool too XD Like the suit look you have going though..it rocks.

ViridianSoul In reply to SirCrocodile [2010-03-05 00:21:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I didn't want her to be really pretty. One of the things I love about One Piece are Oda's odder looking characters =3

Ah, I can picture that. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll make sure to credit you when I draw the next pic of her. And I'm glad you like the suit- it was a last minute idea, actually but I think it suits her.

SirCrocodile In reply to ViridianSoul [2010-03-05 00:24:11 +0000 UTC]

I was actually thinking it'd be good practice if I could do a fan piece of her. Would that be okay? I enjoy trying my hand at BW OC characters Of course you would get credit and such Like I drew Datura for

The dress style makes me think of the mob style in the 20's and in later decades a bit...Oda is known for his mix of Western and Eastern ideals (and his big fanship of Western comics XD)

Oh, no problem! I'd love that actually =3 Thank you!

I saw! Actually that's what reminded me to draw Ms. Black Friday. I was too shy to comment, but I really enjoyed your design of her, and Mr. Half Now that we've met I'll go back and comment now

Oh cool, I don't think I put that much thought into it though, not consciously at least (I wish I were that creative, lol) Oda's awesome, I've been trying to capture his style lately, with little success but he is a big inspiration =3

SirCrocodile In reply to ViridianSoul [2010-03-05 00:49:11 +0000 UTC]

Awesome, I like comments alot

Great, I shall go see what inspiration is to be had It'll be a challenge too since Boa has that snake thing going..don't want to look just like her in design of clothes..so the suit thing stays for sure...oi, the snake..is it like a Columbian Red-tailed boa or such? Tell me about the snake, since I might use it somehow in the design.

I know you didn't, but Oda is very cool and thought I'd share that thought with you!

ViridianSoul In reply to SirCrocodile [2010-03-05 01:13:31 +0000 UTC]

Me too

Yeah, I thought of her right after I finished Black Friday, but I didn't think they were similar characters at all, so I figured it was okay I really dislike OCs that are just copies of canon characters. As for Black Jack, I had a mostly brown constrictor in mind, but I wouldn't mind having some red on him and since I haven't drawn him yet, you have the creative freedom to do whatever you like

Black Friday treats him like a prince, actually- she babies him and cuddles him like a stuffed animal. He's not happy with her lately though since she's stopped buying him expensive treats and such (having lost all her money) So he tolerates that kind of thing less

Cool, thanks

SirCrocodile In reply to ViridianSoul [2010-03-05 01:35:36 +0000 UTC]

Awesome...I shall draw whatever comes to mind..and maybe in turn it gives you more inspiration

What about the snake having black on it? Kinda like that idea..but we'll see what happens XD

Thanks a lot! I had a fun time designing it. It took me a while to get the colors right- not much matches orange hair


And thanks for faving!
