I bring very random fanart

Put under cut 'cos of the size... And I dunno what to say here except Enjoy! XD


This is really quite random. I wanted to draw a guy jumping while holding a katana in each hand, so I sketched that to get the pose down. Then I needed a reason for him to be jumping with a katana in each hand, so I sketched some dude holding a broadsword.
Then I started to flesh out the sketches a bit, and somehow the guy with the katana turned into Spirou in Japanese-ish gear*, and then of course the other guy had to be Zantafio in some Vikingesque outfit.
Then I needed a reason for them to be dressed like that, so I put some dinosaur skeletons** in the background to show that they were in a Museum of Natural History. And as for why they're there, well, give me 46 pages and I think I could come up with something... ;)

Technicalities: The pic is drawn with Micron pens and coloured with Faber-Castell PITT pens and watercolours, which didn't work all that well since it's drawn on some thin sketching paper. XD It's a bit more evenly coloured in real life, but not much.

*When I drew this I'd seen the cover for Spirou in Tokyo, but I hadn't read it yet.

**They're not really correct, but still somewhat good considering I drew them pretty quickly without any reference whatsoever.

zantafio, spirou
