How a Drill Works

Description

The words you gave me that day
Definitely still reach my heart
I realize my reason for having been born
Today more than yesterday


Well I'll spare you guys the tl;dr ramble because it's basically the same thing I said the last two years. And everything I said before is still true. I owe a lot of who I am to this series, which three years ago I hardly knew existed.

Initially I wanted to do a more comical tribute, since I love how goofy this series is. The original idea was going to be Magu, shota!Simon and Kamina riding a grapehippo into battle but I drew a running grapehippo and didn't feel like making its already hectic life any worse. Then I had this idea and was like "fffffff must make reality right now"

Well since I rushed last year's, I actually put EFFORT into this one. Doing the lineart actually didn't take very long, considering it's been ages since I last did lineart. (okay maybe not really ages. It's been ages since I've done lineart that didn't make me want to throw my tablet across the room in the process). Also, drew myself in my signature coat that I always wear even though I haven't drawn myself wearing it in god knows how long. Also, abusing that background. Forever.

Don't look at Kamina's feet okay

NEW LIGHT SOURCE exp +10
Still not 100% solid on the light at the bottom but eh
Sorta inspired by that bit in the 2nd opening sequence and if you're as crazy about this series as I am you'll know exactly which bit I'm referring to

This is so awesome! ;3; Such a great series and I've only done one drawing one moe looking Simon, that is OTL Anyway, love this (and your grape hippo doodle on tumblr lol)

Oh and random story: in class the other day some guy's cell phone started ringing and it sounded really identical to the "blast off" kind of sound at the end of the theme song. wait why am explaining the sound, of course you'd know that sound anywhere.
