Conception of ALLIGATOR BOYS
Hoshigawa Junya | Suzuki Hiro
and his sister, Suzuki Hina:
_____ALLIGATOR BOYS_____
This was a project my friend abandoned and forced swapped over to me. I didn't want it either, because it had too many pages (about 160 frickin' pages, or was it 200?). In the end, I took it to rework from its conception. Alligator Boys originally featured three lab-experiment boys, who are brothers and were separated, each believing that their brothers were dead. I cut the whole thing short to just the mini mart-robbery-cum-rape scene where Hoshigawa jumps in and beats the living shit out of the rapist. Well, actually, he kind of slams his face into the vending machine, drags his face along the glass and snaps the guy's neck in two, but eh. I'm not fussy.
That would make it... six pages? If I stretch the pictures enough, I might get eight.
As to why I cut it short: I'm focusing on the eldest, Junya, because he's simply the most bloodthirsty and vengeful of the three siblings. He's also self-righteous and rather wild. Before my rework that guy had awful hair. It's also one of the reasons why I initially refused to work on it. I mean, come on. A triangle fringe? I loved the school uniform though, very common and elegant. There was a tie and a higher neck, but I stripped that off. I like some Junya collarbone.
The other two brothers are alright, but... IDK. The middle brother is a playboy and his arc has the most panty-shots and boobs. I figured I could STILL draw panty-shots without having to deal with the pain of redesigning him, so I left him out.
The youngest brother's is pathetic. His arc is full of baww and angst. He is, however, the one who reunites his brothers and tames Junya. Eventually. That guy has bad luck - Junya who's bloodthirsty leaves a trail of either murders or beat-ups, but the boy ALWAYS misses him somehow. And then angsts about it.
The Suzuki family were from Junya's playboy brother's arc, but I dragged them forward and replaced the victim with Hiro's sister, Hina. The brothers will never make an appearance, so I won't be arsed to do the concept of the two. (Even if they HAD to appear, I'll just copy the initial concept.)
And, as you can also already guess, I didn't bother changing the title either. It should be Alligator Boy, but what the heck.
My youngest brother thought my rework on the comic concept was horrible and disturbing. But then again, he is the same guy who watches:
a) Color Cloud Palace
b) Maria
c) Nodame Cantabile
d) Paradise Kiss
e) Wing Chronicles
I rest my case. Our tastes are just too different.
