誕生日おめでとう、嵐の釣り人。
Kaibutsu-kun the drama is filled to the brim with goodies that can mostly be attributed, because we are all biased, to Ohchan’s comical portrayal as a spoilt and ignorant prince of monsters as well as his priceless interactions with the other cast. When you put cute and cute together – that is Kaibutsu and Hiroshi – the effects are overwhelming! Just when I thought this genre wouldn’t generate my interest despite the fact that Ohno was the lead, it reined me in episode after hearty episode, leading me to conclude that it’s perfect for kids and Ohno fans alike. I’d liken Kaibutsu-kun to desserts; there will always be space for this, all seriousness aside :D
Although this is considered old in fandom, I think there’s no such thing as being too late for any form of fanart (well, unless it’s for the birthdays and anniversaries and stuff lol – speaking of which, it’s OHNOVEMBER!). And so it had been equally delightful drawing this. Ohchan’s silly singing voice is permanently stuck in my head: 念力集中クルクルガビ~~ン~#$^@!
With his outstre—–tched arm, Kaibutsu-kun waves hello to anyone who (still) follows my blog/art :-3
I found some time to practice on observational sketching, which I used to do a lot in the past when I first got into pen lineart. (These days I simply doodle mindless crap in my notebook too much..) Here are two of Ohno’s:
01. 「天然ですよ、こいつ！」He’s such a natural, Satoshi.
02. In the spotlight. The photo of Ohno mid-jump is so amazing, yet my sketch doesn’t do justice to the elegance portrayed at all.
That’s all for now, I might post more sketches on different subjects in the days to come.
Captain! <3
Fanart of my baby, Ohno Satoshi, based on the appearance of an original character for a flash animation (Black Illusion, on Schizophrenia) I created in 2008. Why so? Cause my mum would laugh and comment every time she watches it on how she thinks the character gives off Ohno vibes. On top of that I kind of wanted to draw Ohchan in a studio with random props everywhere, in a slightly different style, and if you were wondering, the chairs actually came from the classroom scenes. As for the fish, they appeared on their own accord :O
Style and colours inspired by dear Fabfish <3 and this wonderful artist Andrahilde I found out about recently.
I’m intrigued by this photo to no end; not only because it truly depicts the era (1880s) of Japan that is often seen only in period dramas and in illustrations, but because of the striking resemblance at first glance. I couldn’t help but imagine Ohno living in this very surreal world – he would most probably enjoy making umbrellas and fishing at lakes all day, no? 「優しい傘そっと差して行こう」嵐
See more of these, taken by Adolfo Farisa, the man who shot old Japan.
And it sure gets even more surreal. The portraits are beautiful.
