In Loving Memory of my beloved Father who was tragically taken from this world before his time. May his memory live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
03/03/45 - 12/24/06
I miss you Daddy


One Piece, believe it or not, played a major role in my getting through the period my Daddy was sick, and also when/after he passed away. It's one of the only reasons I was able to smile at all during that horrifying period of my life. Then too, my Daddy's Irish and was born in March, so I wanted to incorporate Ireland into the theme (thus the leprechauns) I want to try and make pictures in memory of my Daddy every St Patricks day (or at least start them then lol) That way I can give my love to him.


I finally got around to finishing the last bit of inking and scanning it! And it's only.... 2 months and 6 days late!

My favorite parts of the picture are Franky and Brook. In my opinion they turned out the best. I don't like how Nami turned out AT ALL. Personally, I think I crappified her

Anywho, after looking at it, I'm not sure whether or not I want to color it o_o
I'll decide later. If I do I'll add a background (I was REALLY not in the mood to sketch out a forest seeing as I HATE drawing trees and ivy and blah)
If anyone wants to try their hand at coloring it, feel free. Just be sure to give me credit and show it to me when you're done. I'd love to see it

The drawing itself was actually finished a long time ago. However, I DESPISE inking and in turn, take forever with it. I'm dying to get a tablet so I can ink my drawings without killing them XP
But that's not my only excuse, the others?
1) M*A*S*H!!! (It's my non One Piece happy place XD )
2) Twilight Princess (I never got around to finishing it... still haven't XP )
3) Videogames in general
4) Procrastination XB

Btw, it says 'Believe in Wonderland' cuz that's one of my favorite songs from One Piece

I really don't know how to express myself when I see a piece like this. Seeing the pic and reading your comment and "always remember the strength to continue laughing"... it kinds of summarizes why One Piece is so great. It's about searching for your dreams and have the strength to laugh when you've been through some hard times.

And this picture is really good, I'm not just saying that because it's to your father. A lot is going on in it and it's detailed without being to messy or scrawled. It's just... great. It feels One Piece-y. (That's an adjective, right?)

And I'm not saying this just because every other has said this and I feel obligued to say it, but I'm sorry about your loss. I really am.

Thank you, I miss him very much.

Thanks It took forever lol

The role One Piece played for me? I kept remembering what Bellemere told Nami and Nojiko. "Always remember the strength to continue laughing". And also that no matter how hard it gets, the Strawhats all come out with a smile
