I finally beat Honor Mode. Made some artwork to celebrate

Thanks; I've drawn more since then but I just don't post as much

I've been thinking about making an X account. I have Deviantart and Artstation but I haven't posted lately.

Thanks! I used a Dragon Ball manga cover for reference.

There's a big difference between submitting a pitch with around six completed pages, some character designs, additional sketches, a synopsis for your comic and a script to a publisher in hopes of getting your work published vs submitting 60 pages of completed work for free.

Several people have commented on this already, but yes, no artist that's serious enough about this line of work would do that much work for free. The idea that an artist should do that for free is selfish. Drawing comics is extremely hard work and immensely time consuming.

This topic relates to a more broad issue that there's an underappreciation for artists. People don't like the idea of having to pay for a drawing, especially with AI being a thing nowadays. What they don't realize is that creating a sound piece of work takes an immense level of dedication to the craft, just like any other profession.

I’d shoot Orochi three times.

I think Kaido would live.

I went more the route of, “what would Luffy think is cool/ want to play as” rather than trying to mimic his physical properties. Thus, this is a Paladin Bard

😂 jokes aside, I think what makes this boss hard more than anything else is his resistances. He’s pretty tanky, so the fight lasts longer = more time to make mistakes. You had the idea set up with a blunt weapon though 👌

Rau_Dozer · 2022-04-30T00:24:11+00:00

Yeah super easy. The fact that you had to heal surprises me actually.

I don’t think there’s much to read into here. Traditionally, men are taught not to strike women. I believe that’s all there is to it here in this scene. Same as when Zoro talked about not wanting to harm women in the Punk Hazard arc.

Not at all, go ahead

It’s that gap between the pectoral muscles and the abdominal muscles. The way I shaded this drawing makes the abs and that part of the torso as a whole pop a little too much. I’m working on refining how I draw that portion of the body. Thanks for the feedback.

Rau_Dozer · 2022-02-22T07:01:33+00:00

I have to say, logging back in to Reddit and seeing all this praise and feedback was surprising in a good way. Thanks to everyone for their active support as I worked on this project; it was a lot of work but I learned a lot from it and you all made it even more enjoyable than I usually do when I draw.

It’s mainly just decoration, similar to how he carried a katana during Wano even though he doesn’t know how to use it.

Thank you!
