Fan art gift (not One Piece)

[rainsometimes]

This is a gift for ayiekie, but he's already seen it and okayed it being posted here. Another return to Ranma 1/2, it's in honour of one of the most deliciously cracky mock summaries of fusions-never-to-be-written I've ever read (I reeeeally wish it was posted on the net so I could link to it here). EDIT:You can now read the thing (the mock summary, that is) here! Again uses one-shot character Mariko Konjo the Cheerleader (and also Akane, less prominently).

EDIT: There are now HUGE spoilers for Revolutionary Girl Utena and Sailor Moon in the comments, so avoid if you haven't seen Season 5 of SM and the entirety of Utena! I MEAN IT. Especially wrt Utena.





While I'm feeling Rumic, here's a tentative sketch of Nami drawn in my imitation of Rumiko Takahashi's style, plus an even looser, more tentative sketch of Robin (face only) as the same.



Although Nami's legs look horrible - my fault, of course; Taakhashi draws legs just fine - and the waist should probably be a little thinner to fit the style, I still think the body proportions look slightly more realistic this way from Oda-style. Her face gets even more stylised, though. (Note that the hair looks grey rather than white: Takahashi wouldn't render orange hair as white in b&w. 'White' hair in b&w = actually blond or white hair in her art.)


aside: I must say, I find the little fake "products" you can see on the left in Photobucket now, featuring your image as printed on a cup, cards, t-shirt or as a cellphone background rather creepy.

Ha ha, they're so cute! (I think Revolutionary Girl Akane is my favorite. A drop of sanity in a sea of madness.)

... I can't believe Good King Wenceslas has a parody song. XD;

Tell you what - if you still HAVE a copy of the Rev. Girl Akane summary, mail it to me and I'll put it up on my neglected blog. :)

(Which you might want to correct the spelling in your links to. ;p)

Hello, I found your journal via google. Love the artwork. Well done on the ruffles in Mariko's skirt!

I kinda browsed through your back entries featuring Ranma. Big Ranma 1/2 fan myself and just love to hear others talk about it. Your fic was wonderful, and esp. loved the idea of a kindness competition between Ryoga and Ranma.
