rainsometimes Happy Birthday, Luffy!
Today is Luffy's birthday! I've got two pics,such as they are. (I wanted to draw something inspired by a fic-in-progress I'm betaing for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tonko_ni, but couldn't manage it, alas.)
The first one is a semi-angsty pic set in Water 7 during the days when the crew is waiting for the ship to be built and Luffy stays in all day in case Usopp comes around. (Crossposted to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

This pic has been long in coming as it gave me more trouble than usual, leading me to ask for advice from two pic betas,horusguard76 and wendytigges. Thanks awfully! <33 If it's turned out at all decent, it's due to their help - however, it's not their fault if it hasn't, as I'm posting my last version unseen.
Erg, I realise it may look like he's praying, which was NOT my intention - he's just clasping his hands in his lap for want of anything better to do. ...Also, his head is too big, I think.
Second pic is with Luffy, Chopper, Usopp and Nami on a flying carpet. It really should have been coloured and with more detail, but there wasn't enough time...

The second one is so wonderfully lively - love the magic carpet idea. :) You have managed to capture Luffy extremely well - starting with the expression to his proportions. Fantastic. Especially his feet look so natural - great work there! (I am a sucker for details, but you know that already. hehe)
Great touch to have Nami being so rational and fact-based. hehe I can already imagine them all screaming when they 'realize' that they are high up in the air. hehe. And her hair!!! I can literally feel the wind there. :) Wow, great work.
