I commissioned the lovely @ u.s.h.u.m (THEY ARE ON INSTA!) an Angelface piece because I love love LOVE how he draws Murderface, and I'M SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS CAME OUT!! 💖💖
Here's their Ko-Fi:
THEY HAVE A CURRENT OFFER GOING VALID TILL JUNE 1ST!! It includes:
i absolutely ADORE how oda portrayed vegapunk's years of life as shiny pretty objects. we live in a world where aging is seen as something to be ashamed of, sad and miserable while in reality, being able to age and grow old is a privilege.
the way I saw this, it's a celebration of life.
vegapunk sees his past as something precious, that he cares about and is proud of, and he doesn't want to lose his years of life even in the name of the glorified youth, because those years are what make him, him.
i just love how oda is always about the positivity of life even in the smallest details of one piece
it cracks me up that there was a secret society of American journalists who, from 1965 to 2006, slipped the phrase "it was as if some occult hand..." into articles
this all started when one guy used the phrase in an article and his friends thought it was so hilariously out of place that they all started using it
it drove their editors crazy but they kept doing it
that was like. the whole thing. they called it the Order of the Occult Hand and all it did was put a random metaphor into as many news articles as possible
they picked a new phrase in the early 00s, which has not been revealed yet- to my knowledge
So you are telling me that my whole life being on YouTube and I have NEVER seen this hidden gem before?! Cause HOLY SHIT did I fell in love with the Ramshackle Pilot! The Story! The Concept! The Style! THE FUCKING CHARACTERS, god do I love them all 🥹 Stone became my favorite character and I just had to draw him xd! I still obviously love Skipp and Vinnie though! ♡
I also wanna mention congrats to @zeddyzi because they just uploaded the pilot episode a few days ago and already have 1 MILLION VIEWS!!! 🎉 Good for you dude :D
