Artist's Comments

I have to wonder why I drew this, considering FLCL reflects almost every aspect of anime that I hate- Cutesy poo, disturbing underlying sexual themes, awkward comedy, and pure reluctance of all logical faculty. Yet, it is one of the best series I've seen in some time and I don't know why.

About the art: this is probably not the best piece of fanwork because of its calmness, and if you've seen the show it's anything but calm. Also, I believe that an interpretation of someone else's character should be done in your own style rather than trying to emulate the original art, and this becomes very apparent when I draw anime characters. The way I draw faces is not in the style of anime, so it gives my anime fanart a weird look of American...ness.

I'd have to say the hardest part was the guitar. Haruko specifically plays a left-handed Rickenbacker 4001, and finding reference for that was a bitch.

I agree with you about FLCL. It has the tendancy to be everything you hate, but you want more. Thats most likely the reason it's so popular.

But in anycase i love the picture. Fanart should really be done in the artists style. The guitar is absolutely gorgy. :3 I love Haruko and Naota's faces. *kissys* nummy!

*gasp* Oh dear gods. This is incredible. You know, there's a lot of calm-ish FLCL fanart and they all say the same thing. xD Your faces are great... I wish I could create expressions like that. The guitar and Haruko's goggles are great.
I love this. the image is very realistic really not all that cartoony in my oppinion I love that you are doing fan art in your own style as well. Tha guitar came out great. I can tell you put alot of time into it.

I absolutely love this. ^_^ The realism of it is superb, and their faces and coloring are wonderful. FLCL wasn't at first the apple of my eye; but after watching it, I wanted to see more.

Lovin' this picture! : D

Somewhere in heaven, a very groggy, very confused angel has just woken up and is trying to figure out why a boisterous Australian man is poking it with a stick.
I have NOOO fuckin' clue what this is, but props for the the skill it took to do it. :)
