Description And the title in Japanese because it sounds cooler:
ゴブルン・ジャッカー

Anyhow, this world features a colossal tree that houses a city on the inside (which occasionally peeks out, as you can see). The Goblun (jumping fellow in the center) is an artificial soldier made of wood, cloth, and rabbit organs. It was crafted by Likli Jacker (lass on the crab-thing) as a fuel efficient alternative to their regular human soldiers and assigned as a personal guard to the princess. However, a faulty array index in the Goblun's firmware resulted in "Protect target" being replaced with "Crush target." Since no threat has yet come to the princess, this command hasn't had a chance to be executed. Likli tried to update the Goblun, but it hit her in self defense and ran away. Now it's a race between Likli and disaster to see who can catch the Goblun.

Originally I was going to cel-shade this piece, but once I got the gradient coloring in, I felt I couldn't bear to color it any other way. It took quite a while, but it was a fun experience and I'm liking the soft feel of it. Radial gradients are my friend.

The Goblun's design originally had tendrils/tentacles for arms. I have no idea why I did that. But eventually trying to find matching colors for it became such a problem that I scrapped them and gave him arms. As for his legs, they're based off of a meat tenderizer in my kitchen.

They had a lot of rabbit organs and nothing to do with them.

Should it disturb me how happy he looks? I mean, from all appearances, he can't fly, and from the look of it is about to break his little wooden legs in quite a nasty fall.

Hey, you know I really admire this picture. It has a bright, fresh-air fantasy about it. And I'm making an animated film soon that will have a similar look to this. For this reason I am seriously considering buying a 20X30 poster of this picture.

So, just thought you might like to know someone enjoys this picture so much -- that he wants to buy it.

Goblun Jacker just looks happy to be alive. I don't know why he'd want to go killin' some princess, it looks more like he's going to burst out into song. O:

And that crab looks fun to ride on. :3

". . . wood, cloth, and rabbit organs . . . " and METAL! Now, either explain why you left out "metal", or explain why the blatently metalic colored pieces aren't metal.

Oh yes, and the rainbow is absolutely gorgeously wonderful, by the way. As are your stories pictures.

Ah, well, when you say a certain house is made of wood and stone, you don't mention the cement, the insulation, the windows, nor the paint, right? I figured the metal was insignificant enough to not note.

JohnSu In reply to apong25 [2007-12-11 00:35:45 +0000 UTC]

He's just jumping in the air and not kicking at anything.

Radial gradients are a soft shading that gradual changes color from the center outwards. Cel shading is the sharp kind that you see in cartoons with usually just two or three distinct shades.

leash1994 [2007-12-10 02:05:29 +0000 UTC]

Is there a special reason why they chose specifically rabbit organs? I mean, obviously the furry, cuddliness does confuse the enemies, but other than that, is there a real reason why?

JohnSu In reply to leash1994 [2007-12-10 03:56:33 +0000 UTC]

Ears and jumping, of course.
