Slayers Fanart sketch, for dqbunny's late xmas present. At first, I was going to draw her a more adult themed Slayers fanart. But, then I started thinking about stuff and trying out sketches. I started thinking about the Slayers buddy-family unit ("Nakama") and how awesome it was. This is pretty much based on the anime, since they are somewhat separated a lot in the novels and in the manga. If they keep doing anime seasons, they might separate them there too for plot reasons (or not, god knows zel brings in the estrogen brigade...) So I kinda wanted a little friendship based picture, because this is one of the great characteristics of the anime and because it's also thanks to them that she and I are friends.

Also, I can't draw dirty scenes to save my life. I keep feeling like the character is about to turn around and glare at me for it. Heh. My sweet innocent soul.

And yep, the image is going to have a frame with body-soul-heart-mind symbols, one for each of the four characters.

And there will be bright colors!!!

That's the precise reason why my PT Secret Santa gift ended up with its current rating. I tried. But Brain refused to go there. x_x

"Nakama" is a perfect word for the concept. I don't think there is quite a perfect word in english.

love the sketch.
Hope we will get to see the finished picture. This is beautiful. It really represent for me how they are all "les meilleurs amis du monde", you know?

Got to love the built-in mind filters. I have the exact same thing come up when it comes to even thinking of writing or drawing something 'dirty' because I feel like I'm walking in on something very private. Personally, I think this drawing is much more powerful than smut, but then that's just me.

Hey, hey, hey now. If I would draw sex scenes, they would be tasteful. I don't draw smut. I draw loveyness! Thank you. XD

Tasteful is the way to go anyway, since a lot can be said with very little actually shown. (Thank you, Disney.) ^_-

That is awesome and I like the outfits you drew for them. I'm sure Megs will love this. ^_^

The outfits are a little steampunk-ish XD

I did think they had a "steampunk" feel to them. ^_~

This is a beautiful work in-the-making. <3 I love their poses, dress and everything about it. I can't wait to see how this will turn out. :D Excellent!

"Also, I can't draw dirty scenes to save my life. I keep feeling like the character is about to turn around and glare at me for it. Heh. My sweet innocent soul."

lmao welcome to the club. Just the thought of drawing something adult-themed makes me uncomfortable. ^^; Ah well. I'm not much for that sort of stuff anyway -- bright colors and cute poses and cool outfits (I sound like a magical girl series :p) are always better!
