Monkey D. Luffy - ONE PIECE PAINTING - Painting in Gouache for the first time.

[@DisturbedShifty]

I have never been one for One Piece, then again it is hard for me to get into most animes. But when I saw you had painted this I had completely forgot they did the live action because at first I thought this was one of your mash ups. Like maybe a celebrity crossed with One Piece. That all being said it came out great and I really like the new paints. Espscially since you said Studio Ghibli uses it. You can totally see the matted colors of their movies in your painting. Keep up the good work man!

I was thinking mashing up the straw hat with other properties but not fully sure it would come across to everyone. 'why the hell is indy wearing that' lol Ghibli actually use a paint called Nicker poster color which you can't get in the west but its roughly a faster drying gouache As always, cheers of your support brother

Ahhh, love it. Fantastic work my friend. The anime is definitely a commitment but it's so worth it. I liked the live action, but there were things I wasn't 100% behind. If you reAlly want to get a good feel for one piece check out the marine Ford arc, in my opinion it's the best arc of the series.

Hey buddy, yeah I have tried so many times to get caught up but as you say it's a life style lol ... I'll give the Marine Ford arc a shot, cheers for the guidance. I think what I loved about the live action is I finally had a 'in' that was not overwhelming and I really enjoyed it and can't wait for more! What were the big things that's that did not work for you?

@@splinteredstudios the intro to usopp with the black cat pirates in my opinion was a little weak. But overall I really did enjoy the series. Seeing something that I love so much in live action and done well was pretty awesome.
