So since one of the three vinyl albums from Kei Tomiyama came in the mail alongside a jpop record from the 80s, and I finally gave it a listen, here's Tochiro singing and playing a keytar. Such a cute singing voice. ^w^
Harlock is trying to perfect his “don’t care” smirk. Tochiro may or may not be standing on a box to reach 5′2″. They are both having way too much fun for a pair of incarcerated space pirates.
First time trying a more realistic digital artstyle, and for a meme of all things... well, given my past efforts, I suppose it’s to be expected, lol.
The expressions were heavily inspired by their official wanted posters, which are amazing. Just look at these goofy goobers:
There are a few artists on here who draw very cute tochiros and it makes me feel like I've gotta step up my game, but to do that I badly need to watch SSX again
it always breaks me how tragic harlock is when you put his timeline together
did you know that in the 2013 movie english dub & sub they don't have the ICONIC quote from the french dub? "the instants that repeat themselves become eternity" (les instants qui se répètent deviennent l'éternité, ce qu'il dit lorsqu'il prend la fleur tendue par Yama et puis il lâche une larme)
[ Je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne vaut pas la peine d’être vécue. J'en vois d’autres qui se font paradoxalement tuer pour les idées, les illusions qui leurs donnent une raison de vivre. Ce qui peut être une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir. ]
