2024 Gonna Be My Year Fr

I need you, Zoro. You're my captain, Luffy. And I'm your first mate.

second in command, best swordsman, means of transportation, he has it all!

"two years ago usopp wore it to show his admiration for pirates but now only luffy and zoro wear it. it's a cute detail that shows they are both moving towards the same direction." love them and their matching belts ❤️💚

[Toon x Mobster] Jack passes out on the couch after an exhausting day of work.

Gavriel has a particular habit of taking in Jack's scent and rubbing his face with it when it's not covered with the headache-inducing heaviness of perfume.

Shoutout to my cat, Ming Ming. I got this comic idea from him.

I also projected myself a bit in this comic. I dislike scented products like perfume, hair gel, etc. since my nose tends to get very sensitive at times.

I have many things I don't like to smell. It makes me feel overwhelmed and tired.

zolu nonsense from twt. so i call u illegirl

“Those two things can exist at the same time. Like you said, it's all—it's all tangled up together, you and me.”

double page spread for one of my favorite luzo fics of all time, poly philtatos (the most beloved by far) by my good friend - @swordsmans!

I knew I wanted to do a double page spread the second I finished this fic and I drafted abt a dozen ideas before landing on what would ultimately become this. There were so many snippets and moments I wanted to illustrate but I ended up doing more of an abstracted version of the fic as opposed to 1:1 drawings of scenes 

funnily enough while the fic itself is told in zoros pov this spread is framed mostly through luffy’s eyes - his tears literally frame comp for their reunion, the moment he loses zoro, and the centerpiece of the first page which is this weird abstraction of him on the beach seeing zoros corpse-not-a-corpse in the waves just beyond his reach. 

gyro put the crane wives’ never love an anchor on the playlist for this fic which i heavily used as inspiration in picking ornamental things for the spread (the anchor, the fleet of ships by luffy, and the nautical rope splitting the second page). also just like. overall really heartbreaking lyrics guys 

there are smaller elements throughout the spread that are 1:1 references though (all i will say for these is if you know, you know hehe) i wish i had more time to do a lengthier piece for fanart for this fic bc it's one of the few luzo fics that have been rattling around in my brain forever now - once again please please please read poly philtatos if you haven't. gyro is a masterful writer and they deserve all the love! ok byeee
