Jinbei – Hope of Fish Man Island

Now that I’m older I appreciate the Fishman Island arc more. I can see why some people would have some problems with the end message but what other outcome can you really wish for? It’s not so much that one should forget past wrongdoings, but. Each individual should be judged independently. I believe that’s what the starting from zero is referring to. Plus I feel the story is not one to one to real life, so I believe this message is for both descendants of past oppressors and victims alike who whether they like it or not have to coexist in modern times.
One piece hits different as an adult.

I’m now in the beginning of the Big Mom arc again. I’m finally catching up to where I left off.

Nico Robin’s Sacrifice

Somehow last time I uploaded an unfinished version of the background. This was actually the version I was supposed to have uploaded it.

I’ve been re-reading One Piece. And I’m enjoying it more as an adult than when I was a kid. What’s amazing is that as the series goes on, it just gets better and better. This also goes with the emotional parts of the story. I forgot just how tough Robin’s life was growing up. Oda did a great job of making us understand why Robin would do her best to distance herself from the Straw hats during this arc. Truly a great character and addition to the crew.

Zoro Santoryu

The painted version of my Zoro drawing which can be seen here:

I was just playing around with colors in the background till I arrived with the current background. I think it fits the current Wano arc. I’m really coming to love the Sargent Brush in Corel Painter.

Yamato

This is the painted version of the line art I drew before. It can be seen here:

I quite like her multicolored hair. I wasn’t too sure about the background so I made a simple swirling cloud patterns.

Yamato line art

I really like the introduction of Yamato. The last chapter I read was when she was introduced, I really have to get back to it. I’m really hoping she becomes part of the straw hat crew.

Zoro Santoryu Line Art

I’m surprised I haven’t drawn Zoro before. Specially since he is my favorite One Piece character. Although to be fair, One Piece has so many good characters to choose from.

Sanji God of Cookery

Today I decided to paint Sanji who I drew for day 22 of Inktober this year.
Here it is: https://darkcloudxero.com/2020/10/22/inktober-2020-22-chef-sanji-god-of-cookery/

Seriously, if you guys haven’t seen the movie the God of Cookery do give it a try. Somehow I feel Sanji would definitely fit into that world as a martial arts chef. It’s a shame that we only had about two decades of good Hong Kong movies that gave us a glimpse of what anime could look like in real life (although Stephen Chow continued to do so well into the 2000s).

Once again I decided to go for an anime painting style, the challenge this time being that I would not look at references for the coloring style. For the next planned painting I also wish to imitate a 90s anime look but I haven’t quite settled on which style yet. I might just end up doing more than one, we’ll see.

Inktober 2020 22 Chef Sanji God of Cookery

Sanji came to mind as soon as I saw that the prompt was Chef. I wasn’t too sure how I would go about it, but I remembered the movie The God of Cookery by Stephen Chow. If you haven’t seen it, give it a try.

Luffy Onward

Just to change it up a bit let’s draw a guy this time, and let’s try a new angle (as advised by my younger brother). For this drawing I decided try out a new technique I saw a couple of years ago. This I believe is what they call foreshortening. It worked amazingly well so that I could draw out Luffy’s arm and finger pointing at us. When I finished drawing I then shaded the drawing by using ink and brush. Now Luffy is ready to move forward and become the king of the pirates.
