pilot_starMy sister started to read Steel Ball Run after seeing some rather pretty covers, (and exclaiming her surprised that this is the same person who drew Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I guess his style really has evolved, huh.) not to mention some of the more fabulous (LOLWUT?) ones.
Anyway, so I really did like the cover of Vol 10, it's very nice no matter how you look at it, so I started to read it too. Might as well.
....It's fabulous.
Actually, it's a lot less fabulous than the covers suggest, but hey, we have impossible physics and ridiculous costumes and overly dramatic shocked expressions, rubbery people who get tossed around, all in a world that generally works in a very strange way, and when you put all those things together you get an awesome comic that you can't help but love.
And because those costumes are so ridiculous (I honestly don't think any other mangaka can get away with them) I just had to draw fanart. I just haaadd to.
So, Johnny and Gyro, from Steel Ball Run:
I was actually a little disappointed at how un-gay my pic turned out. I mean it's not really un-gay, but it's not as gay as... well... the covers.
Maybe it's just not as FAH-bulous.
In case you haven't read SBR, Johnny (the one in the star outfit) is paralyzed from the waist down. So obviously when I think of them together, this is kind of the first pose that comes to mind.
When my sis saw that pic, she said:

DAMMIT. :(
