Description
Alright. This was a challenge in so many senses of the word.First of all it was written for the Slayers Livejournal community Ameliazellove's ([link] ) chimera challenge, where the topic was to draw/write Zel as the human and Amelia as the chimera. This struck me as the most obvious idea, and I'm pretty certain many others had the same idea.
I've tried to wait with reading/viewing the others participation, because I know that if I accidentally draw/write something that's been made before, I'll just end up tossing it away, even though there's nothing wrong with more takes on the same idea.
Second of all this was a challenge because I have NO time in December, and it had to be done by January, so it forced me to think outside my usual, pseudo-perfectionistic box. It's drawn directly on the computer and speed-coloured (initial idea was just to do the lineart and that would suffice). Even then it turned out that I just can't seem to get rid of the nagging thought that it wasn't finished.
Thirdly, this was a challenge because I totally reedited the text for it about halfway through, and thus there was a lack of space. My comics seem to suffer from this whenever I do them on the computer. So, I edited it again, but to no avail. I considered (and started to) redraw it with some more panels and more space for text, but screw it.
Here you go!
I don't own the Slayers. And in the unlikely event that somebody might think that I'm making any money on this, I'd like to underline the fact that this is purely for the laughs and sense of accomplishment of it. Slayers © .Hajime Kanzaka
Oh, and where is Gourry?
Gourry was outside, keeping Amelia from being present when Zel woke up, so that Lina could break it to him gently. However, seeing how Amelia now has demon ears, speed and strenght, he couldn't quite hold her back. And that's saying something!

A part of me wants to die laughing at Chibi Xelloss, and another part of me wants to die, revive, and die harder laughing at picturing a rock-hard chimera with Amelia's chest

Once more, I must applaud you at capturing these characters perfectly. I love how you portray Xellos. I cannot state that enough.
I love how this comic ends with Zelgadis' punchline.

xelloss wasn't lying; that is why he's here. just...in a different way than expected by lina's response haha i can understand zel's confusion until xelloss starts flitting about speaking LOLcats language. then it clicked and i thought, "ooooh, that makes much more sense..."
AAAAH, CHIMERA AMELIA HAS BEEN UNLEASHED UPON THE WORLD! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! -runs away screaming-
i like your drawing style on this, especially for xelloss and chibi!xelloss. i dunno, i just liked those two (that one?) the best. not that i have a problem with the rest of your drawing...just...yeah, i'll shut up now ^.^;;;
-Isadiah/MKL, signing out.

Xellos will find the cure single-handedly. He can't take it without his favourite snack (Zel's angst) being replaced with Amelia's over-cheerfulness. Great comic!

That would totally happen! And when you think about it, Zel really does look a lot like Rezo

Chibi Xellos is obviously love
And the concept is great I agree with Zel: the world isn't ready for a chimera version of Amelia. Scratch that, the world will never be ready for that

Chibi-Xellos turned out to me the most fun about this one. But then again, that was one of the only things I knew I HAD to have in this comic.
And yes, the world would NEVER be ready for this. >__< Let's hope it never happens!

Thanks. I tried to make it more like the anime, failed, and ended up with that, so I'm glad it turned out okay.

It's so in-character for Amelia, it's scary.
I especially like the profile shot of her.

Thank you so much! It's my fave in this one too, although my husband says he likes the two other better. I dunno myself why I like it so much. I just think it works better.

My gosh, her Visfarank may now actually be lethal! o_O
Great job on a 'speed job', too! I hate doing the coloring part myself, so you already outshine my better efforts.

Visfarank deadly.. Scary thought indeed. O__o
Thank you for the compliment. It helps when you have a whole lot of experience in using the sodding tablet. Just you wait till you get the hang of your new tablet, and we'll see your colouring-skills rocketing.

IchibanVictory In reply to MrsCorax [2008-12-27 16:30:46 +0000 UTC]
It would kind of be a great irony for Amelia to literally be able to strike people dead, when she's supposed to be keeping people alive... o_O
I'm getting better with the tablet. I even attempted a bit of shading on the last doodle I did with it, so I'll get there. It would certainly help to have some more free time, that's for sure! (Seriously though, I'm really glad I finally invested in a tablet. It's so much easier than using a mouse!)

Don't worry. She won't keep on being that. And this is not related to the Lovely Little Lina's Lovely Little Love-scheme. It's a response to the challenge in the Livejournal community. You should check out the other guy's contribution! It's really awesome what people have cooked up!

Sure thing.It's actually in the description of the drawing, but I can see it is sorta drowning in all the text I wrote.

Enjoy! It's a really good community.

You might wanna consider thinking outside your pseudo-perfectionistic box a little more often, 'cause it looks gorgeous this way (and the fact that it makes people like me feel a little less crappy about ourselves because your awesome coloring skills completely outshine us has nothing whatsoever to do with it...!) At any rate, it's nice to see something from you again. Me miss your artwork.
Oh, and LOLcat reference equals epic win.

True that. LOLcats hassa awsum! Perhaps I really ought to make a "speshul fanx" to the lol-cats for helping me make this piece awesome and win.
Anyways, you're right. When I struggle to get the colouring and lineart right, I end up not producing anything at all! So I think I will learn from this.
