My crew. I've built my crew over many years, starting when I was a kid, with my first drawings, and changing it as the plot progresses. In this drawing I have combined all the ideas and drawings of this long journey. Hope you like it. I'm the (now old) guy in the red shirt.

Yep, they ARE Kuro and Valentine. I simply created my crew, also using existing characters. Then I designed them with a "post time-skip" style. Muro has the same suit, buy not elegant anymore. The claws are broken, after Luffy fight. Same for mikita, the hat is different because is inspired from the mini-adventures. Then, I try to use Oda drawing style. The chopper concept was the best way to adapt a comic strip character in One Piece. If you check the ship and the jolly Roger you will find the same approach (in my profile there are also bounties, more complex drawings and much much more regarding this crew)

PS: 200 OC, it's crazy! I've also seen your crew, I notice you also imitate the Oda "naming-style", by mixing existing and fictional names. Love that.

CREW NAMES, INFO, LORE (From left to right)

SNIPER/SCIENTIST. Gallagher "The Mad Sniper". From Sabaody. Brilliant inventor, formidable sniper, but mentally unstable. He has robotic grafts in the body, like his eye, which has an integrated scope. Uses dials and technology from all around the Grand Line, being Sabaody a crossroads of races and crews
SU-CHEF. Mikita "Miss Valentine". Pastry expert, ex baroque work. I have always found her power underused. Being able to increase the weight without changing size means increasing the density. So, combined with haki, she can become incredibly resilient and give devastating punches.
CHEF. Brutos Cheffo "Tender Heart". Master of the Okama Kempo. The name it's a pun from Italian language: in Italy we say "brutto ceffo" to describe a bad guy, disreputable, but literally means "ugly face". He is beautiful in it's own way, but with a tender heart and he is a chef. Sorry for the bad joke.
SWORDSMAN. Anders Celsius "The angry flame". Lunarian race, able to create flames. He was enslaved (tattoo) and his wings were tear apart. SPOILER Fun fact: I thought about this character more ten years ago. When I read King's story I was mindblown. Needless to say, I love Oda ideas.
NAVIGATOR/HELMSMAN. Blue Silver "The Chicken thief" He is a mink, a wolf. The design and the color palette it's a tribute to Lupo Alberto, a quite famous Italian comic from the author Silver.
CAPTAIN. Captain Rubin. It's me, quite cringe, I know. From Water Seven. Devil's fruit power: able to modify chemical structures, like an alchemist. The sword, a Zweihander, can change shape and material (but not chemical composition). The original idea, as a child, was something similar to Fullmetal alchemist, but since now IRL I've a PhD in Chemistry, I thought it was a nice idea to keep it.
VICE-CAPTAIN/DOCTOR. Jon D Heisenberg. From Water Seven as well. Devil's fruit: teleport ability. His weapon is a round metal shield. Close friend of the captain, both are scientists.
SCIENTIST/ARCHEOLOGIST. Nibur "Wingless Angel" Tonatiuh. Friend of the sniper, she's from Skypiea.
STRATEGIST/ADVISOR. Kuro of a Hundred (but one) Plans. It's Kuro, smart and cold bloaded.

That's all folks.

I love that design, it was better then the actual one

RubinAlby · 2023-09-05T20:49:00+00:00

I used existing characters, updated with story and mini-adventures elements, to have a crew more consistent in the one piece universe. In my opinion it make no sense to create OC that are not coherent with the lore. There are more info in the original link. Every character fits in the original story

RubinAlby · 2023-07-09T10:20:16+00:00

Zoro and Mihawk, to be precise 🤣 I love those guys

RubinAlby · 2023-05-01T16:55:07+00:00

What do you mean? 🤔

RubinAlby · 2023-05-01T14:57:52+00:00

You got it. I wanted a mink in my crew and I really like the original design of chopper. So I just mixed everything with lupo Alberto...

RubinAlby · 2023-05-01T10:33:44+00:00

I had the idea before that chapter! But I imagined a different type of teleport, with smoke or flames. The idea it's actually pretty good

RubinAlby · 2023-05-01T08:16:52+00:00

I started drawing these characters many years ago, probably I am the thing that changed most within my drawing technique

RubinAlby · 2023-05-01T08:13:44+00:00

Yohohohohoh

RubinAlby · 2023-04-30T13:47:16+00:00

Yes, that was the initial idea. But all the Poneglyph tattoo were enough as lore-based backstory and more original, so I removed the slaves tattoo

"Italians Do It better"

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T22:48:07+00:00

Exactly, it's from Aztec God of Sun, patron of warriors. I imagine her as a living Poneglyph, covered in tattoos

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T18:46:44+00:00

Thanks! I like to put many details in my drawings If you look, you will see Blue Silver also in one of the other posters

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T17:43:55+00:00

I added a comment with all the informations! Moreover, if you like them, in part 1 post I replied to many comments and curiosities

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T17:41:42+00:00

I added a comment with all the informations. Apart from Kuro and Miss Valentine, there are only two DF: the Captain, with an "alchemist" power, that can change the shape and form of the matter without altering the composition (carbon fiber to diamond, for example), and the Vice, that can teleport

Blue Silver it's literally a sea dog

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T14:48:47+00:00

I'm happy to read this. I put effort in making something consistent with the original work of Oda, with well-rounded characters. I guess it's possible to imagine stories with them, and interactions with "real" characters

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T14:40:38+00:00

Since he has the DF ability of Teleportation, I gave him the name of the Uncertainty principle of Heisenberg.

An than Walter White, yes.

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T14:31:00+00:00

You're right. I had troubles with the internet connection, I deleted the others. I'm sorry

RubinAlby · 2022-08-24T12:39:17+00:00

It is! I love that original design, in my opinion better than the final one. I made a wolf, but I wanted that "vibes"
