Well, he's here...

[luco]

And let me rant for a minute about Sanji. He's a pain in the ass to draw! I mean, I adore drawing him and everything, but to get what I put down on paper to match what I see in my mind is really difficult ;__; I was going through a lot of the japanese sites to see how others drew him and while they have very beautiful art, it wasn't quite what I was after.

I wanted him to look like a 'guy', I wanted to be able to keep him as expressive as he is in the original series! And I want people to always remember that he's a fighter as well. >__<

And I don't know how well I suceeded...

Hopefully it's alright.

Oh and the weed in his mouth will be explained by Chopperfish later >_>;

Ee, I hadn't noticed the shoulder fins on Sanji till now. Initially I mistook them for wings in the second page >__>

I think most of the time Sanji gets pinned down as being 'feminine' only because of how slenderly he's built. XD; Especially during the second-style type images in the character sheets. He's so... you could snap him in half. Just so... damn fragile looking. BUT OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW THAT'S WRONG XD But even in the current arc styles, Zoro is noticeably more bulky than Sanji is. Sanji has muscles, but they're more compacted and leaner than Zoro's are.

...sidetracking anyway yes eeeee for Chopper in this post. He's especially adorable in the last panel. XD; And the weed AHAHAHA omg that's so cute too.

Suits also have a habit of making a person look really slim as well. It's one of the closely guarded secrets of cloth. Somehow, no matter the guy, they always look slimmer in a suit.....

But yeah, he is nice and lean....I may have made him a bit too buff, but I like it so far >_>;

So glad there's lots of love for Chopperfish ^___^
