Heya, guys. First post.

This is something I did when bored. Just for fun. Surprisingly enough, the OOTS characters are kind of hard to translate into manga format, especially their expressions. The fight scene was changed around slightly, to add a bit more oomph.

THAT IS SO AWESOME!

Kaytara · 12-12-2009, 06:11 AM

Oh GODS.

This is SO AWESOME! :D I always thought the OotS characters would look awesome in an anime style, unfortunately I have absolutely no skills in drawing in that style.... And when I saw the title I thought of this, but didn't dare hope. Thank you so much for drawing and posting this, it's completely brilliant! :D

Of course, you realise that you can't simply leave it like this. I'm not quite asking for a reimagining of all 693 comics, but a shot at some of the more dramatic ones is simply a must-have. Please! I'm begging you here! :D What do you require, deity? Gold? Slaves? Fanservice? State your wishes!

GolemsVoice · 12-12-2009, 06:14 AM

Woah! Very, VERY good! I can has more mange, plz? Elan looks so much cooler in his manga form, by the way.

You. Are. AWESOME!!!

Prime32 · 12-12-2009, 07:03 AM

Whoa.

ref · 12-12-2009, 07:18 AM

Amazing. Simply amazing. Very well done.

You, sir, are alarming, astonishing, awe-inspiring, awful, beautiful, breathtaking, daunting, dreadful, exalted, fearsome, formidable, frantic, frightening, imposing, impressive, intimidating, magnificent, majestic, mean, mind-blowing, moving, nervous, overwhelming, real gone, shocking, something else, striking, stunning, stupefying, terrible, terrifying, wonderful and/or wondrous.

Now I feel totally fail for only being able to draw in manga-style, but not actual manga. Sigh.

I'm assuming he does. :D

*googlestalk*

Voila!

It will be embarrassing if I'm somehow completely off the mark about this one.

Elagune · 12-12-2009, 08:18 AM

Whoa. Found out already.

And yeah, I'm gonna be doing a couple more, especially the scenes that I like. I'm not adverse to taking requests, though. Holler if there's a page that you enjoy specifically, I'll see what I can do.

Prime32 · 12-12-2009, 03:26 PM

When I see a piece of black-and-white art that I like, I sometimes get the urge to colour it. This is one of those times.

Eldan · 12-12-2009, 03:37 PM

Shouldn't they have the same eyecolour?

Teutonic Knight · 12-12-2009, 04:01 PM

No. Besides keeping with red vs. blue, they need an obvious minute difference which you can use to tell them apart but no one in the comic world can.

Yeah, but it should be something like hairstyle, since eye colour is really obvious.

Which in this comic Elan and Nale's hair running down the middle of their faces are flipped. Elan to the right and Nale to the right.

...Isn't that why the goatee is there? :D

Besides, as mentioned, eye colour is really obvious.

If one were to draw a scene from Nale's imposter scheme, one could use the same trick as the actual comic did - a few stray hairs to indicate the missing goatee.

And I'm SO happy Elagune will be doing more of these. :D

I'm going to quote coffee included here.

THIS IS AWESOME!

Normally they do, but Nale is angry and evil.

Very skillful.

Maximum Zersk · 12-12-2009, 05:11 PM

HOLY SHIZMAFLAN ON A TOWEL

That is amazing! Good work!

You must make more OotS scenes this way!

Eldan · 12-12-2009, 05:33 PM

If you are taking requests, could we have a scene with Xykon in it? I'd like to see him in this style (could be complicated, though)

Yes. My logic was that this would work better in Elagune's style than chin-stubble while Nale is impersonating Elan. Also, the "Nale is angry and evil" thing.

Ichneumon · 12-12-2009, 05:57 PM

It are moments like these when I'm actually envious of other people's abilities. This is 100% pure and natural awesomeness incarnate.

Prime32 · 12-12-2009, 05:59 PM

Elagune, you need to put a section of that strip as your avatar so people don't mistake you for some random Pixie.

And can I request the scene with Miko and Belkar smashing through a window?

Ichneumon · 12-12-2009, 06:01 PM

Could you tell us something about how you did it? What steps you take, tools you use, what time it took you?

CoffeeIncluded · 12-12-2009, 06:05 PM

Ghost-Martyrs of the Sapphire Guard and O-Chul in the Acid Shark tank please?

Oh, and when the Ancient Black Dragon says that she'll kill V's family, and then flies off, and V tries to stop her but can't, and then collapses to the ground in despair?

And the soul splice!

Please?

FoE · 12-12-2009, 06:54 PM

This is amazing work.

I hope you do a few more OotS strips. In particular, I wouldn't mind seeing something from Strip #200 or #400 done. Or perhaps Miko's striking down of Lord Shojo. (In particular, I think Miko would lend herself well to a manga style.)

Kaytara · 12-12-2009, 06:58 PM

This comic where the ancient black dragon appears, chases after V and smashes him into the cliff would be my request. :D

200, Miko's first fight with the Order, would do nicely as well. :)

I'd just as rather see what scenes you would choose by yourself as your favourites, though. :)
