follow me into the rain

I've drawn some genderswap pics of Luffy, Sabo, and Ace (or "Ann") as kids. Posting them here behind the cut. Suggestions for improvement and other feedback much appreciated!

As you will see, several of the pics are blatantly based on canon art.

I have for the sake of ease assumed that the characters will have much the same life stories as in canon, which might well not be true. For instance, would Garp and/or Dadan have been softer on little girls than on boys? Might Roger's shadow have weighed ever-so-slightly lighter on Ann?

( Pics galore! )

I drew some pencil sketches of One Piece fan art featuring backstory speculation, going heavily into wishful thinking territory. Very unlikely to actually be proven true.

Don't click if you're not up on the current manga.

( It's theoretically possible! )

Happy Birthday, shayera!

And this one's just an extra. I have no excuses.

I've got some disjointed thoughts on the latest three chapters of One Piece.

First, I want to say that while I was very interested and intrigued by chapters 583 and 584, I also had some problems with them. I wholly enjoyed #585, though. I'm dividing them up with under separate cuts so readers who want to avoid negativity (or positivity??;p) can do so more easily.

EDIT: *facepalm* ...way to mix up the chapter numbers with those a hundred chapters back, self. Corrected to 583-585. *>_<*
