Artist's Comments

Ya, ya, ya, I know I still am only half finished with those requests, but... well, I'm a procrastinator, what can I say? Don't worry, the next request is nearing completion and should be uploaded sometime tomorrow... I hope.

Anywho, I'm not Rumiko Takahashi and as much as I like her art style, it's very difficult to copy her (or anyone else's, for that matter) art style. So, I'm gonna just start drawing these 100 Theme Challenge pictures in my own art style. Perhaps it's best that I keep my own flavor on things, right?

Anywho, this picture is Obsession. Why? Because out of all of Rumiko Takahashi's series, Urusei Yatsura is the one I like the most, to the point of obsession. I will incorporate several other Takahashi series for this 100 Theme Challenge, but as you can see here, you should not be surprised if I show favoritism to my first love. The series that pretty much got me into anime and manga. :aww:

XD Ataru's stance is hilarious... And I love Lum's Rainbow hair. Having that kind of hair in real life would be pretty sweet.

Awesome pic!

The lines continue to be so smooth! :O I like Lum a lot better in you style. It must be hard to maintain rainbow hair-- I don't know what kind of shampoo supports the color cyan. :XD:

And Ataru's pupils are blinking again! :XD: But you can still see the white of his eyes...?? XP

Andx2 it's good that you're willing to face your obsessions. :XD: I think the world we be a better place if we could all just say "Hi, my name is [some helpless person's name here] and I am obsessed with [some obscure addiction]". ;P

Thanks! Ya, Ataru's probably trying to sneak off to see some other girl. :XD:

As for Lum's hair, that's actually what it usually looks like on manga covers. Everyone's hair colors always change on manga covers, so Lum's hair has been everything from green to red, but usually it's depicted as rainbow. :D

The secret to smooth lines is to draw everything really, really, REALLY big (and then zoom in 200 or 300% while drawing) and then when you're done just change the image size to, like, 50% of the original size. Of course, this is only if you're mouse-drawing on Adobe Photoshop, which is what I do. If you're drawing on pen and paper, then... ummm... just be really careful? ^^;

Ya, Ataru's eyes tend to do that a lot. :XD:

And Lum probably uses a special shampoo from her planet. She has all sorts of weird gadgets and technology, so why not special shampoo? :XD:

And ya, I don't deny my obsessions. I just torture other people with 'em! :XD:

Yea, I figured your technique was something like that. ;o

Oh! And I didn't mention it earlier, but I love Lum's leopard-print sailor-uniform sash. XP
*RonnieTheClownPrince:iconRonnieTheClownPrince: Apr 21, 2008, 7:22:54 PM
Thanks. Ya, that was just me improvising, actually! :)

I can't tell in the manga, since it's in black and white and all the school uniform sashes just look white, but in the anime all the girls have red sashes except Lum who has a yellow sash. I decided to go one step further and add tiger stripes. :XD:

I don't think Lum would have such a happy expression when Ataru's expression looks like that

I'm certain it's probably just the split second before she notices and starts frying his carcass. :P

Gotta agree with Tazzy on Ataru's stance. Very good!

Ahh, obsessions. We all have them.
