Notes: This work is subpar, yet I'm so tired I fail to care overly much. The satisfaction of actually getting a work done is enough for me, since I haven't had the

beautiful work. and i can definitely see a story there. i hope you go through with it.

[dnatio_memoriae]

Thank you. The story I have in mind for the fancomic isn't directly related to this work, though there probably will be blood ^^

Do you have a preference when it comes to reading direction?

[tshapo_chi]

Um.... you sure you want an opinion from me? OK... but i warned you!!

I like stories that have a base of truth or reality to them. I know it's hard to put these guys into a RL situation and keep them cannon, but I've seen it done, so I know there is hope. Happy endings aren't always necessary, though it will need some closure at some point. The stories that catch my attention and remain in my heart are the ones that take me along with the adventure and make me feel everything the main character in the story is going through. If I can laugh, cry, scream (in both terror or anger) and get hot, then it's a treasure. That is what i look for.

I really, really like this picture and the expression of it. Good work!

[dnatio_memoriae]

Thank you very much.

On a side note, your icon is absolutely hilarious!

Thank you! A fandom full of crack (well, the manga's pretty insane to start with after all) demands cracky icons. ;>

As for your questions, I think if it's a fan comic, using the same reading direction as the original is the easiest, since it's the one most people are used to. At least I find myself reading some fan stuff the wrong way around when they change the direction. In a reversed situation I'd probably be equally confused if a Spiderman comic would be presented in the direction of japanese manga. XD;

Unfortunately I don't really have a good overview regarding fight scenes involving Zoro and Sanji right now; in the latest chapters there wasn't much, but if you look through older or middle chapters, there should be a lot. You can either check them online at sites like onemanga.com or download them from stoptazmo.com or similar places.

You're absolutely right: crack begets crack.

Thanks for your input. I'm of a similar mind re: direction. It's probably best to stick to what people know.

Wow - this could have been taken right out of a Hitchcock movie! Great atmosphere! And love the textures. <3

[dnatio_memoriae]

Thank you <3

Initially I had it in mind to have more sexual innuendo and less of the blood/horror element...guess that plan went awry ^^

[horusguard76]

lol Let me guess... it should have been Sanji being taken Zoro while leaning against that door? ;)

Yeah, sometimes art takes a life of its own. ;)

i just love how you give realistic details to the facial features. to tell you the truth my imaginations became far more vivid after seeing your drawings. i think you are awesome and i ship you a lot. i'm now your fangirl. thank you so, so much.

[dnatio_memoriae]

Your comment made me smile. Thank you. I honestly don't believe I'm deserving of such praise, but I'm very glad it's done something positive for you.
