I didn’t quite do that here, finding that using almost a direct version of Exedore’s Micronization robe worked very well, looking better than anything else, including having purple wing membranes and a blue outfit instead of the reverse. I wanted something that looked like what an ordinary Disney gargoyle could wear (don’t forget that pants, shirts, robes, leotards, and light armour are also seen on gargoyles), but also at the same time evoked the character’s original outfit. (see also: Transformers)īut part of me is always disappointed that the fanartists stick the gargified character into their original outfits with some minor changes for gargoyle anatomy and leave it at that. Something about a large race of main characters with highly varied designs just tends to invite this sort of thing. (and this is just an exteremely small sampling). Rendering one’s favourite non-gargoyle characters as Disney gargoyles is quite the trend. I’m sorry.īut Disney gargoyles are a lot of fun to draw, and I’ve had them on my brain lately, what with tying myself in knots waiting for the GNs to come out (buy them!) Hey, look, it’s (Classic) Exedore as a Disney gargoyle which I drew. To this day, I think I was making fun of Neo-Exsedol, but in a loving sort of way. November Has Come is one I've waffled on many times before, but I'm linking it here again because it's in the spirit of the season, and looks back to a more innocent time when I was first navigating my way through the mess that my interest in Exedore had become. I go through phases where I think certain fanfics are the biggest crumpled balls of paper I have every written, then I think those same stories aren't too bad. Probably nobody on my f-list is going to get this, and I've been meaning to go back and redraw it so the cloth folds don't look like crap, but I like the drawing. Oh, and I've posted this before, but it never gets old: This year I slapped together a crude costume, going as the Reptile Woman: scales drawn on my hands and face, a choker with a brass alligator pin around my neck, my Westman Reptile Gardens t-shirt, a plush two-headed snake also around my neck, and my faux-snakeskin purse around one arm. But I've found the time to go to a movie night put on by my School at uni, and tonight, I'm going trick-or-treating for the food drive, providing it doesn't rain. I have to admit I'm not feeling the groove as much this year, due to it being another busy middle-of-semester weekend. The notion of Robotech fans/producers being aware of "real" anime crops up from time to time in these comics, which doesn't surprise me, though it likely a lost art these days. I do wonder if the original artist was simply "copying Astro Boy" or had some awareness of Tezuka's style beyond that. So on a whim, I decided to colourize one panel, making a few tweaks to the existing colour schemes so that they could fit with the new designs (also, correcting the original lettering, which misspelled the character's name as "Exadore").īreetai here seems obviously based on Tezuka's "Duke Red" character design, though I can't find a basis for Exedore so far. Aftermath was horrible, but this was pretty amusing, and became even more so as I was starting to get into Tezuka's more mature works ( Phoenix, MW, Apollo's Song, Ode to Kirihito). This is from a back-up strip in issue #5 of the Robotech miniseries Invid War: Aftermath, in which a parody of the opening scenes of Robotech is illustrated in a mock Osamu Tezuka style.
