One more essay to go...

[keire_ke]

Finally got round to watching Gankutsuou. This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is some Weird Shit. And I mean seriously My Last Dream weird. o.O Very good so far, though. Of course, managed only to see the first two eps, so am not one to talk. There is a lot of cute slashiness though. ^___^ Franz fancies Albert a lot. Albert fancies Monte Christo a lot too. In how many other genre's of anime one of main characters blushes slightly seeing the main character for the first time? And can somebody please tell me:

1. Why the Japanese are so fascinated with Christian symbols? (X is one thing, but here - the crosses, the exacution thingy...)
2. Why every anime must contain a character about "It was a boy??!!" can be said? And I don't mean my mum's comments regarding Duo.

Knowing what I know about the Count of Monte Christo, I had a distinctive feeling he wants to present Mercedes with the head of Albert on a silver platter. I feel for him, though. People play him like he is a puppet. Oh, he's gonna be sooo pissed.

Anyway, regarding Albert's head on a silver platter:

"Ah, Mercedes. Congratulations, it is your anniversary today."

A really quick pencil sketch. Will, most likely, be inked and coloured - it's the most coloured-pencilable anime I have ever seen.

And this:

Susan Sto Helit from Discworld series.

Really quick as well. I'm not all that brilliant with drawing semi-realistic people, when have no live model. Not that am all that perfect with a model either. Will stick to anime, for the time being.

Oookay, if I get down to writing the damn essay, I just might squeeze in another episode of Gankutsuou. That is, if my LotRish ficcy doesn'y swallow me first, although it would appear I am stuck for now. Duo is giving me trouble, annoying little bugger that he is. >.<

Hey there, Keiran. I love the Gankutsuou fanart! Can I advertise it on the Gankutsuou LJ comm? Folks are starved for good fanart! :)

[keire-ke.livejournal.com]

^___^ Sure! I'm always starved for (hopefully) some feedback. Am watching more of the series right now, and damn!

I think I'm hooked. o.O I fear there'll be icons.

You should join the comm and post your pics there! The folks would surely appreciate it! :)

Ooh, I like the facial expressions, especially Albert's babyface. (Don't know how to describe it--it's really cute!)

I didn't even have to look at the caption- I knew exactly who that was. What an awesome Susan!
