Artist's Comments

So this is an idea I've been working on for awhile - my obsessions combined. And for those of you confused Homestar Runner fans, by "Monkey D." I mean this Monkey D. ([link]) not this Monkey D. ([link]). And for the confused One Piece fans, well, go here: ([link]). Allow me to run through each of the characters:

Strong Sad as the Going Merry:
Commentary: The Going Merry with Strong Sad's head, or, as I've taken to calling it, the "Going Dreary." The difficult part here was redesigning Luffy's Jolly Roger to look like Homestar.
Character Commentary: Its just his likeness, so he's not really in a position to comment.

Homestar Runner as Monkey D. Luffy:
Commentary: Getting Homestar's face right was a bit of a challenge; you draw those eyes a tiny bit off it looks weird. Even so, I think I managed.
Character Commentary: "I think'm some sowt of wubber man... and a piwate, which is nice."

The Cheat as Tony Tony Chopper:
Commentary: This may be the best thing ever, and it came out real nice.
Character Commentary: "Meh."

Strong Bad as Roronoa Zoro:
Commentary: As with Homestar, getting his face right was crucial. I drew him without any swords to make it easier on myself.
Character Commentary: "Um... While I stand by my well-known stance on japanimation, I've got to say: Three Swords?! That's is pretty freckin' sweet. I'm not really sure what you do with the third one, but even if you've just got it that's intimidating."

Marzipan as Nami:
Commentary: I went for the original Nami look. I used Teenage Marzipan ([link]) as a template. The objects to her right by the railing are suppose to be Nami's logpose and bracelet, on Marzipan's invisible arm.
Character Commentary: "I feel pirates promote violence."

Coach Z as Sanji:
Commentary: This came out alright. I was trying to make it seem like he was a step behind Marzipan, but I think it just looks like he's shorter then he should be.
Character Commentary: "I'm the ship's cork, althorugh I dorn't knor anyorne coruld dor much corking with orne eye. And kids, this is orne or them candy cigarettorts - stay in schor."

Bubs as Usopp:
Commentary: Came out surprising well considering how challenging the task seemed. The object above his mouth is suppose to be a makeshift false nose.
Character Commentary: "I can't think of anyone less like me; This guy is a total pigeon, scared of his own shad-ow, and a chronic liar. I don't lie, I move merchandise!"

Sketched on paper, and then inked and colored in Painter 9.

Yeah that came out pretty good.
:iconstrong-rad:
This deviation looks so right, it was like it was meant to be! :D

First off, I appreciate some one not afriad to take the time to have full and complete comments on their work, not just the usual lame "It's me" or "Didn't know how this would come out" or "Nevermind the bullocks". It really shows forethought and focus in the art. (Going Dreary; so right, so right!)

The general vibe is very Homestar. I am not sure if it is the coloring or the outlining, or what, but it is more than just the characters that make me think "everybody, everybody!" when I see this. Good call on making the Homestar characters as they are, in One Piece costumes, because I think they are way too different among each other to do a real amalgamation pic. This could very well pass for a Halloween toon! :idea:

I think each of the characters you chosen is well suited for their One Piece alter ego: Strong-Bad for the laconic swordsman (so cool! 8-) ); Bubs for the bullshit-artist, extraordinaire (I'll see ya my nose for 5 berry-bucks!); The Cheat for the cute, cuddly, furry doctor dude (sch-ING!); Marizan for the aloof, not-really-pirate Nami (I'll sing a song for the rain on my guitar!); well, Coach Z at least is kinda stringy... (JEOREAB!); anf finally, everyone's favorite no-armed whitey playing the lead as rubbery-armed idiot Luffy (I didn't know I had toes!). I even like the alterations on the main sail to incorporate both Homestar and the Straw Hats.

This is truly a masterpiece, my friend. I think it may be time to dethrone the ol' "Naruchu and Company" for this bad boy. Very fangoriously well done :salute: :+fav:

My favorite is when the artist is like "This took X hours. I hate it." Glad you like everything I tried to do here. I myself have looked at the Naruchu lot and thought about moving them aside, but they're like a fixure now. I feel like I have to outdo it, and while this took some work and looks really nice, it was a few shades easier. I'll think about.
:iconlokno:
Tough luck. There's always next time.

Someone once asked me the difference between ignorance and apathy. I told them I don't know, and I don't care.
:iconlokno:
Oh no. If the character commentary for him in my comment he explains its a "candy cigarettort."
