ameliazellove seemed like a good excuse. Basically, you draw Zel and Amelia, two of the main characters of Slayers as they would be if they were of the opposite gender, either born that way or transformed suddently. I chose the *born that way* scenario, because then Zel would have been a kick-ass female from the start, and we always need more kick ass females. I wanted them to keep their personas despite the gender change, but obviously the personas would be similar, but different due to the fact that they got raised differently. Thru several drawings I wanted to explore these subtle differencences. So here we go:
The character sheet...
Amelia (aka Emile) being Male would be a priest. Zel mighthave a bit of trouble with that...
Being Sailunian royalty is a dangerous job. Thank god for those Chimera bodyguards.
Zel's moment of weakness:
Replay of the episode is Famill (Femill? Femille? Ah, who cares, you know what city I mean. The one with all the crossdressing.) Zel probably didn't get to wear many dresses. And Emile is at his first crossdressing since he didn't need to crossdress in Episode 17, season one, considering he WASN'T on the wanted poster.
ZEL TAKES A HIT! The classic scene with Gaav.
EMILE TAKES A HIT! In Zombie!Sairaag.
That's all for now. This was fun to draw. I like how does characters came out. I wonder how their relationship would be like this. Maybe Emile would be more forward?
In a non-fanart note, I just worked another 12 hour day. I am dead. TGIF.
