Artist's Comments

WOO, FINISHED AFTER LIKE TWO WEEKS OF LAYING AROUND AND STARING AT IT FOR A WHILE! YAAAAY!

This picture, the process and outcome, has thoroughly amused me, though I had to endure accidental data deletion (thank goodness it was only a little bit!)...

For those of you who haven't seen the first version, allow me to explain.

This picture was probably inspired by a combination of watching Tales of Countdown on Youtube (the one from Tales of Fandom, I believe... I don't remember well. Jade is one of the commentators, along with Zelos from Symphonia) and the anime Lucky Star/Raki Suta (well, at the time, I hadn't seen much of it, but at this time I've seen five episodes). So now we've got Guy, Luke, Asch, and Jade dancing the opening to Lucky Star. Fun, huh?

Excuse the inaccuracies most especially on Luke, I drew him mostly from memory. I used the official art as references.

I tried to fix the issues with Guy, does he look better now? :3 Geh, he still looks shorter than Luke, but that's because of the positioning of his face... he's kinda looking downish... err I dunno Oo;;

And I say Jade came out the best. He's Jade and Jade is made of awesome.

...By the way I did background from memory too, so it's not gonna look much like the one in the anime ^^; But I wasn't trying to copy the background exactly anyway...

So yes, I did have a lot of fun doing this. =P

Enjoy!

(By the way, it seriously bugs me that we can't put exclamation points in our titles. I mean, what the fork?!)

Ha ha, that's quite awesome. All the colors look quite nice. The slightly-muted look is much better than 'OH MY GOD MY EYES' glaringly bright.

Jade looks happy about something. Did he just cast his 200th Thunder Blade?

Man, I haven't drawn anything in months. Do I even know how to draw anymore? Have I lost it all? Must I go train under a waterfall for three weeks straight to regain my lost powers (However meager they were)?

Also, I must say this: Asch's mantle came out nice. I'm horrible with tight details like that, but you got it to come out quite well.

Also, Guy looks worried about something. Maybe Luke is about to poke him in the eye?

Yeah, I was trying to keep the colors a bit on the dull side.

Well, Luke's all like "look at me I'm the ringleader :D", Asch is like "I want to get the hell outta here", Guy's probably thinking "What am I doing? Please don't attract fangirls", and Jade... well, I dunno. Jade is Jade. Who knows. Perhaps he DID cast 200 Thunder Blades.

Well, the picture was originally 1400xsomething, so it was huge and I could do tiny details like that ^^

School's in, start doodling :D

Ha ha, no problem.

I think I forgot how to draw. All I can remember is that it involves the pointy end of the pencil somehow.

XDD I love Lucky Star and TotA. Imagine that.

Jade seems extra-adorable. [Well, more adorable than normal xD *SHOT*]

Anywho, deserving of a fave~
