Wonder why I work so much on hair...

Slayers revolution is an interesting title. It kinda makes you imagine a Utena-Slayers crossover (then again in episode 17 of Next there was this girl that looked a whole lot like Lady Oscar). I still haven't watched too much of Slayers, waiting patiently for the subs. However i've read chapter one and 2 of the manga and I gotta say I like the story up to now. The drawings are a little odd, but they look good. They just seem very different for the original concept art... Basically they have the feel of the current very popular manga style. I'm not really sure what this style is, specifically, but I keep seeing it everywhere.

Anyways, I was reading this essay a friend of mine wrote about sex symbols and fantasies in comic books. It's a brilliant essay. As you may guess, in japanese manga stuff like sailor fukus and a cooking apron on naked skin are REALLY popular. It kinda made me imagine this cool drawing of Lina with only a cape on. So I drew it. It sorta grew more and more and well... Lots of drawings.

Lj-cut for artistic nudity (but nothing CRAC officials might kill me about)

Sexy classic pose. I like how it's mostly the legs that you see!



So. Much. Hair. I think my Slayers fandom is mostly based on the fact that I can draw hair all over the place. Lina looks a little too cute and not shy enough, but I figured I might give it a go.



Yeah, the other side. Poor Gourry, deciding if he's a gentleman.



Amelia and Zel, just to make sure no one feels jealous XD
Amelia looks so beautiful. I love to draw her looking like that *_*

I'm also considering (to celebrate Slayer's return to tv and mang after 10 years) to draw a weekly page or two of a fan-manga that i'd post in my personal journal and on theslayers community. I've got a few stories I think about using (mainly one I started drawing based on a fanfic by Ichiban Victory) so i'm seriously considering the idea. Tell me what you guys think.

Ok, I have to say my favourites are the first image and the third image. Lina looks very sexy in the first one and I like the way the cape covers her and the third one I like because of Lina with her hands on her cheeks feeling so embarrassed. They're very well done, all four, but those two are my personal favourites. And hey! You did an awesome job on the shoulder guards!!!

A fancomic would be great if you had the time though, I would love to see it, and if it something that ichiban came up with, I'm sure it was good.

*glances at Pikmin* Oh wow, the sound of death has returned.

Just because I try to avoid drawing her shoulder guards doesn't mean I can't. It just means i'm too lazy to spent an extra 30 seconds on every drawing I have of her (honestly, those poor japanese animators). I really like image one too. Image 2 didn't turn out as well as I would have hoped...
