Lot's WiP comic and general talk

[popplio25]

Looked like someone was cursing about something haha.

umm... not exactly...
well.... in the episode, they were looking at a mountion that's... well.... shaped like poo 😅 & amelia is saying those words in the ref... just after which, lina repremends her by saying that ''that isn't a word a royal princess should use!''

The word I was looking for and finally remembered was circlet. I didn't know the band holding it on was elastic.

i see : D

Her design has changed a bit overall it looks like. More 'Hamtaro' looking in body shape than when she was first drawn.

i don't think she's changed? which paprika drawing are you refering, i wonder? : o

i could put her neck fluff back, if needed : 3

So the original idea you were working on is gone, then... Fair enough.
For what it's worth, Coconut looks really nicely drawn!

I'm mainly curious to see what she'll look like when standing next to Cloud.

Oh, yeah, I do! I didn't realize I didn't make that clear, sorry.

no problem :3
&

It really does! ^^

: D

I thought it looked a bit odd with her eye that far over, but the rest of her looked nice.

The drawing captured the energy of the show image perfectly, it was really nicely drawn.

: D

Neat! Looking forward to seeing you draw her more, when the time comes for that.

: D

It looks missing from the angle, did he lose it in battle or something?

no, he didn't, really :3
it's just hidden in front of paprika's head :>

And cool! Are they all going to be together more often?

a lot of the time, i'm sure :3

Yeah!

:3

Does Souta like her?

well.... he doesn't mind her, i think 🤷‍♂️

Awesome! Sounds like you're on a roll! :p

yeah! : D
i got s1 ep 8, s1 ep 9 & s1 ep 10 done yesterday

Yeah, that's a lot different from what I thought it was from the original story idea. I was under the impression she was somewhere between 10 and 12.

yeah, i changed her age a little : o
:3
she's kinda short for her age, too : o (a lina ref ^^ )
:3

I suppose everybody needs help sometimes. :p Even Lina!

yeah

Oooooh, that one was impressive! The images worked and fit the song quite well! That's one to be proud of.

🤩
i had big brain power with that one 🤩

That one was really nice too! ^^

it is, isn't it ^^

Ooh, really liked that one! The song was a jam! :p

yeah, it is! : D

WOW! The song here was so good! And the AMV fit the music really well! Hard to not call this one my fave so far, but that first one was also extremely good, so it's difficult to pick between the two...

🤩
https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Meet_again?so=search

I never expected to hear 'chill island theme Slayers edition', but it was surprisingly good! ^^
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mklUX7AYhUWjkpn-MPDb3x2D9a3PnKYM/view?usp=sharing

i know, right? : o
: D

I can see why, it's a very pretty song! ^^

yeah

I noticed the 7th one you posted. Looking forward to the 8th when it's done as well! ^^

Great! : D

I'm not saying everything has to be the same height,

I was just thinking that Paprika was still really small. But the universe instead has smaller creatures like her be made much bigger than their human world counterparts. I'm sure there are huge monsters and dragons and stuff there too. ^^

yeah, that's right : 3
yeah, there are a few dragons, there.... like tylia :3 she's really a dragon & fafnir.... i'm thinking on his squirrel form, currently :D
& sukinowa is a big dragon, too :3

Does he ever get his old body back?

well... no, he doesn't...
he accepted that that would happen : o

And cool that he and Lina make friends even after the fighting. ^^

yeah... he kept calling her ''flatty'' every now & then.... cause of her breast... they're small 😅
that presses her ''berserk button'' as people call it 😅 she hates it when people mention her breasts....

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i think i know just the one

edit at 8:04 pm:
look! you're so right!

i wonder if the winter or cold weather is so cold in her world, she needs one : o

the hood is at back :>

edit at 3:38 pm on 14/12/24: i thought about her neck fluff... & i decided that it's not so bad, after all.... so it's back on her

Cool that you knew about it! ^^

yeah, from ranma & slayers : D

Really odd that they'd still put her in the intro like that... I'd feel kinda robbed if I didn't get to actually see her in the series proper, even at least once.

i know : o
https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Luna_Inverse

well... According to Hajime Kanzaka, Luna's involvement in a story could greatly upset the balance of the cast, which may be part of why she did not make an appearance to date.


so that's why she's not in the series :o

So she's more powerful than Lina is? Surprising. Makes me wonder what it could've looked like for them to battle in the series even more haha.
I do get why Lina's not fond of her now, though. She sounds mean. >.>

yeah, way stronger then lina is : o


before that in the same episode (s3 ep 2), after refusing to take the task of being the human representive to save the world from a horrible treat, cause filia said lina was the fill-in...
she fell back on her cause luna was too busy with her part time waitress job... ...

upon receiving a letter from her sister, from filia, that said ''shut up & do it! Signed sis'' , she went into a extreme panic attack, via looney tunes style (that's what i read/heard from somewhere) & made & hide herself in a pyramid & cried.... : O she's that scared of luna :o < >


after amelia said ''what's wrong?!'' ,
she screamed....
then she screamed ''AHHHH! she's gonna kill me!'' (after the ''shut up & do it! Signed sis'' part )
amelia: ''she's gonna kill her?''

filia: ''well, she DID say that she'd punish her badly if miss lina refused, but''

gourry: ''lina has a sister that she's that scared of? ''
zelgadis: ''what is she like?''

It was really nice to see Amelia star in one! And her song was really good too!

yeah, it is

she has two image songs... her 2nd image song is called ''stand up'' & she also has two group songs, the first one with lina, like you saw once before (otome no inori (A Maiden's Prayer) ) & the other is with zelgadis, gourry & lina, which is called ''SLAYERS 4 the future'' :3


also....here's my 8th :3 - Shining Girl - Megumi Hayashibara (lina's image song from the slayers perfect movie) (half ova/movie & half series lina)

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Shining_Girl


& my recent 9th sylphiel's slayers next song - alone (touma yumi)
she's singing about gourry & how he chose lina over her

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Alone

i'm working on my 10th slayers amv currently, which is one of xellos's two image songs : D

 

[popplio25]

It was really nice to see Amelia star in one! And her song was really good too!

my 10th slayers amv is uploaded : D

Xellos's image song from try - BUT BUT BUT (Akira Ishida)
it feels like he's singing about lina... the way he's singing the song ... cause i saw a comment on the youtube video of it saying that


edit at 10:52 pm on 15/12/24: my newest one, my 11th slayers amv - Shakunetsu no koi (red hot love) - Megumi Hayashibara (lina) (subbed)
https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Shakunetsu_no_koi

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i made a new character for much, much, much later

his name is '' nutella '' & i gave him a cape :3

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i finally figured out how to finish this one (chacha's supposed to be sitting, too 🤷‍♂️ )

(from slayers gorgeous movie)
a little bit younger paprika... maybe 13 or 14... & cloud's sister, chacha (also princess of her home-city)
eating those 'donuts' ^^


edit at 2:28 pm on 23/1/25: i don't think i'll be using the first 4 movies & the ovas, actually.... too much trouble... __ __
i'll stick to the seasons

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i did a new paprika one

from s2 ep 2
(i put her teeth on her... it looks good on her... they look good, like lina's fangs :3 ) - lina is talking to zelgadis (the ref).... paprika is talking to canyon :>
i tried to do her from lina's angle.... did i do fairly good?


edit at 2:38 pm on 18/12/24: i did another paprika

from s3 ep 1

edit at 2:44 pm on 21/12/24: i forgot to mention if i didn't at all.... she used to know how to speak japanese.... i change my mind.... she doesn't anymore...
unless it's the japanese version, she speaks only english



edit at 3:10 pm on 18/12/24: i did a nutella one

from s4 ep 4
....
he's got a little bit of a attitude when first met, i think : o

also, he's the prince of his kingdom, rustreica.... :3 ... it sounds kinda like ''Taforashia'' which i really like : D

It was really nice to see Amelia star in one! And her song was really good too!

edit at 6:45 pm on 18/12/24: my 12th slayers amv, touch yourself *which i totally forgot to upload onto google drive.... it's doing that now ^^ ' * - edit at 7:39 pm: it's uploaded : D - touch yourself - megumi hayashibara (Lina's image song from the book of spells ova)
& here's my 13th one.. my most recent - the slayers next op - 'Give a reason' , the Ballade Version

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i did another two paprika ones today


from s2 ep 13 (just before galvin/gourry says ''can you consider my feelings a little next time?'' & just after she gets hit on the head)


from s2 ep 1
(i edited the speech a little bit for what she's saying... lina said ''like i care'' )
i tried making her do lina's pose in the ref.... did i do good, i wonder?

 

[popplio25]

It was really nice to see Amelia star in one! And her song was really good too!

here's my 14th slayers amv that i did we are - zelgadis's first image song
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uTAeYAQ9blaPbcv6Zvp2L93iAZIjHmA1/view?usp=sharing


edit at 10:28 pm on 22/12/24 - my most recent one slayers special ova ending - KagiriNai Yokubo no Naka ni (megumi hayashibara)

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i made the squirrel form for fafnir the dragon
when he was older... i've yet to draw his older dragon form, i think :3 i i'm not sure I recall him ever appearing as such in the anime, though 🤷‍♂️well... i'm watching slayers eng sub after the ranma 1/2 remake after i catch up on pokemon horizons eng sub... so i can remind myself when i get to try (s3) edit at 6:28 pm: well, he has wings & dragon arms... but that's about it : o

he was called ''nir'' before

he's about the height that tyria is in squrriel form, too ... if not, a slightly bit taller then her :3

while we're on this topic, all the ''golden dragons from slayers'' would be represented as any red squirrel, like tyria... while the ''black dragons'' would be represented by any other type of squirrel, like fafnir here


edit at 9:24 pm:
his name is ''paramour'' which kinda sounds like Milgazia... sorta https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Milgazia
he lives in the ''brightronto mountains'' ...
that sounds kinda like ''the katāto mountains'' in slayers & i like that

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Kataart_Mountains


edit at 10:55 pm: i updated the list with a new one
https://www.deviantart.com/akarifan25/art/1140006903

as for the last current spell on the list; i named it ''Fuego Inferno'' by combining the 'Bola de Fuego' 's fuego & the 'Demon Dragon Inferno Howl' 's inferno to make that spell name : D

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Garv_Flare

& the ''Espada'' in Espada blade comes from ''Espada Ragna'' & of course blade :3

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Ragna_Blade


edit at 3:08 pm on 30/12/24: i made another dragon/squirrel character, for much later


edit at 4:16 pm on 30/12/24:

he's named 'ferja''
i've yet to draw their dragon forms : o


edit at 5:27 pm: i made one of the elders of tyria's dragon-kind


his name is 'elder maddox'...
he's a very old squirrel
he's shown to be a little selfish....

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i did another ''cloud'' one today


from s3 ep 17


edit at 5:40 pm: i did another paprika one

from s3 ep 23
she's kinda pretending, i think....

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i did another paprika one

from s2 ep 6

i just had to ^^
(though, i didn't know how else to do her other foot : o )


i think she likes hot springs/bath houses


edit at 11:13 pm on 11/1/25: these two
they both have swords that are made of the hardest wood in the world: Lignum vitae....
i must draw those sometime : o

 

[popplio25]

Using the show to help you make different faces for Saria's turning out really well, you've got lots of them already and I'm sure you'll find even more you like as time goes on.

you know, during this watching of slayers anime eng sub, right now, i'll not always screenshot... only every now & then....
it just ruins the fun for me, i think, right now i've screenshoted a few already from s1 ep 1, though : 3


edit at 11:05 pm: i did some more today (i need to get a lot of them named, still, though :3 )






i love the last one

all from s1 ep 1, ep 2 & ep 3 :3

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i just had a thought...

what if the map of paprika's world was the same shape as the slayers world, but reversed? it's shaped like a sleeping dragon 🤩

i'll see if i can find a picture of it


info that i found on the slayers world: its a continent called The Sleeping Dragon. It used to be in the shape of well, a dragon. But when shabranigdo and Ceipheed got into their legendary tilt, they blew it into what is more or less a giant crater. The Slayers setting takes place beneath a very small area of like, 10k square miles or something.

As long as it's not the 'exact' same shape it should be fine, especially since it's just a fan-comic anyway.

that's the war with shabranigo & ceifeed that did that, i believe : O
________________________

i look forward to the reply to the other posts above, too... patiantly... whenever it comes

 

[popplio25]

This new color looks good too, though I liked her blue hair a bit more, personally.



It looks really nice! ^^

i drew this one of heart, for when i start her expressions, when i go watch pokemon


does she look good? if you compare it to the original in the attachment
& i used my girl, saria's hair, a bit, to finish heart's hair :3

 

[popplio25]

While I did really like the old look of Torch, the new style looks nice as well! Shame the sisters are going to split up though.

i thought about & decided to edit torch's family... she's a only child now.... plus torch is much cuter then sizzle but she's still mellow's best friend ^^



also.... i redid kieran's pokemon design to a pikachu....
cause.... how am i gonna explain kieren not having his furret anymore later on & his wanting to become stronger, all cause of her (mellow) & ogerpon (pen)?
now to do carmine :>

i also did this... the bb league elite 4 & briar :3
& i made briar a gardevior & made her moves based on her personality :3



also... i also thought about letting leisia go with topaz to galar, instead of emica the eevee

leisia using quick attack

i think topaz is gonna think that leisia is overbearing, though.... she's topaz & mellow's aunt... & wanted to go with her to look after her....
so, emica isn't in any of my current pmds anymore : o edit at 4:45 pm on 20/1/25 - emica is now born in alola with nanako the shiny alolan vulpix :3


& i adjusted the timeline a little... & finalized it.. now the mellow+topaz pmd really is at the climax & at the end

also... i wonder if mellow would want to take topaz to see the pretty kitakami (takiimaka) at the end before going home.... hmmm....

 

[popplio25]

I just think she'd look cute in one.

i did two more paprika's, yesterday


from s2 ep 23
just woke up in the morning from a dream




from s2 ep 15
paprika, screaming... cause souta touched her neck....


edit at 5:34 pm: i just updated the paprika/souta drawing from s2 ep 2... & i think i made it look better :3



i did a new paprika today

from s2 ep 19

she's chanting the ''Amplification spell''



from s3 ep 26
i updated her eyes to look SOOOO... much better... this one was one of my first ones i did, i believe
the original is in the attachment for comparison the more i looked at her, the more i thought that her original eyes made her look emotionless : o ...
so i had to change them a little to be on par with many of her more current eyes

 

[popplio25]

While I did really like the old look of Torch, the new style looks nice as well! Shame the sisters are going to split up though.

i actually had a thought for a one game violet timeline recently 🤷‍♂️
cause i just can't let them go, after all





lubi won't listen to anyone & wants to beat anyone in battle....

so her mum suggested to go see a certain someone in Montenevera.... along the way, she learns a certain something.... after that, they go to kitakami...
i wonder how she'll fair against the ogre clan : O


but cause she's so terrer-like, iika, pami, pag & sylvi are kinda nervous around her....

lubi is still somewhat mean to ogerpon, though.... (i thought that up... i don't know why : o ) .... someone's gotta stop her.... : <
lubi's not interested in team star... she's more interested in the titan pokemon or the gym leaders....


i think buri is born there....







ukko & sizzle wants to go check out area zero.... but afina would rather go to the wisteria pond & the crystal pool in kitakami that she's heard about.... how are you gonna compromise, you three?!


it's primerily these four (azumarill is with them now), though, i think.... moeka & woko take them to kitakami...

afina is a very quiet girl... at school & at home.... well, maybe not sooo much at home.... she hasn't any parents... (i hadn't drawn them yet... but) so there must be something up there & that must be connected to why she wants to go see the Wisteria Pond & the crystal pool in kitakami

yep, sizzle now has a different family & is with afina & ukko :3


nowadays, afina lives with her aunt in poko village.... & ukko & sizzle live there, too



loh'a wants to check out bb League.... lubi wants to go, too



how do i juggle three story-arcs, i wonder?
i mean... which goes first? : O

 

[popplio25]

While I did really like the old look of Torch, the new style looks nice as well! Shame the sisters are going to split up though.

here's carmine the tsundere pikachu : o

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

umm... not exactly...
well.... in the episode, they were looking at a mountion that's... well.... shaped like poo 😅 & amelia is saying those words in the ref... just after which, lina repremends her by saying that ''that isn't a word a royal princess should use!''

That sounds silly coming from Lina. She seems like the type who'd do the same thing in Amelia's place given she's a super powerful fighter and all.

i don't think she's changed? which paprika drawing are you refering, i wonder? : o

i could put her neck fluff back, if needed : 3

Not any one specific drawing, just the style that you were going with at the start. Just an observation is all.

well.... he doesn't mind her, i think 🤷‍♂️

That's nice. ^^

yeah! : D
i got s1 ep 8, s1 ep 9 & s1 ep 10 done yesterday

Awesome!

yeah, i changed her age a little : o
:3
she's kinda short for her age, too : o (a lina ref ^^ )
:3

I'll remember that, then. And nothing wrong with being a little shorter than average, some would argue that's cuter anyway.

🤩
i had big brain power with that one 🤩

Indeed! ^^

yeah, that's right : 3
yeah, there are a few dragons, there.... like tylia :3 she's really a dragon & fafnir.... i'm thinking on his squirrel form, currently :D
& sukinowa is a big dragon, too :3

Awesome! Will Paprika ever need to battle one in her story?

well... no, he doesn't...
he accepted that that would happen : o

I respect him for that. Making the best out of a not-so-fun situation, that is.

yeah... he kept calling her ''flatty'' every now & then.... cause of her breast... they're small 😅
that presses her ''berserk button'' as people call it 😅 she hates it when people mention her breasts....

I never understood the obsession with chests like that. A lady's chest is what it is regardless of how big or small. And it's silly for someone stuck in the body of a tiny creature to try making fun of someone else for having something 'below average' haha.

i think i know just the one

i wonder if the winter or cold weather is so cold in her world, she needs one : o

the hood is at back :>

That is one of my absolute favorite arts you've done of her. I LOVE how the coat looks, and the look on her face is adorable as well.

i thought about her neck fluff... & i decided that it's not so bad, after all.... so it's back on her

As a lover of her neck fluff I fully support this decision!

i know : o
https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Luna_Inverse

well... According to Hajime Kanzaka, Luna's involvement in a story could greatly upset the balance of the cast, which may be part of why she did not make an appearance to date.

so that's why she's not in the series :o

He says that, yet he's also the one in charge of actually making the characters and plot. If he actually really wanted to use her, he'd find a way to, just like anyone else who makes stories. He simply doesn't want to for whatever reason. I do think it's a mistake on his part to include her in the intros if she's never seen in the series itself, though. But just having Lina mention her is absolutely fine whether she ever shows up or not.

yeah, way stronger then lina is : o

Unfortunate for Lina haha 😅

before that in the same episode (s3 ep 2), after refusing to take the task of being the human representive to save the world from a horrible treat, cause filia said lina was the fill-in...
she fell back on her cause luna was too busy with her part time waitress job... ...

upon receiving a letter from her sister, from filia, that said ''shut up & do it! Signed sis'' , she went into a extreme panic attack, via looney tunes style (that's what i read/heard from somewhere) & made & hide herself in a pyramid & cried.... : O she's that scared of luna :o < >

after amelia said ''what's wrong?!'' ,
she screamed....
then she screamed ''AHHHH! she's gonna kill me!'' (after the ''shut up & do it! Signed sis'' part )
amelia: ''she's gonna kill her?''

filia: ''well, she DID say that she'd punish her badly if miss lina refused, but''

gourry: ''lina has a sister that she's that scared of? ''
zelgadis: ''what is she like?''

I wonder what her sister's motive was for that. Maybe it was just her being mean, but maybe there was secretly more too it than that. Unfortunately that path isn't explored at all cause the writer doesn't want to take the plot down that path, but that's his choice I suppose.

yeah, it is

she has two image songs... her 2nd image song is called ''stand up'' & she also has two group songs, the first one with lina, like you saw once before (otome no inori (A Maiden's Prayer) ) & the other is with zelgadis, gourry & lina, which is called ''SLAYERS 4 the future'' :3

Oh nice! I'm glad she gets some spotlight time too.

i made a new character for much, much, much later
View attachment 169319
his name is '' nutella '' & i gave him a cape :3

I LOVE him! He's SO cute! If plushes were ever made based on these characters I'd have to have one of him.

i don't think i'll be using the first 4 movies & the ovas, actually.... too much trouble... __ __
i'll stick to the seasons

Sounds good. And you can always do those later on if you ever change your mind anyway. But just sticking to seasons for now's a good idea.

i did a new paprika one
View attachment 169423

(i put her teeth on her... it looks good on her... they look good, like lina's fangs :3 ) - lina is talking to zelgadis (the ref).... paprika is talking to canyon :>
i tried to do her from lina's angle.... did i do fairly good?

Firstly I think the teeth look great on her! And second I think you did a bit better, at least from how I enjoy things. Lina's a bit too zoomed-in in the pic from the show for my tastes, so your drawing with Paprika being slightly further back's better in my opinion.

i did another paprika

Cute art! And sounds good to me. I am curious what made you change your mind about that, though.

i did a nutella one
View attachment 169449
from s4 ep 4
....
he's got a little bit of a attitude when first met, i think : o

also, he's the prince of his kingdom, rustreica.... :3 ... it sounds kinda like ''Taforashia'' which i really like : D

Still adorable!
And yeah, that does sound kinda similar. It's a good name choice too.

i did another two paprika ones today

View attachment 169574
from s2 ep 13 (just before galvin/gourry says ''can you consider my feelings a little next time?'' & just after she gets hit on the head)

View attachment 169575
from s2 ep 1
(i edited the speech a little bit for what she's saying... lina said ''like i care'' )
i tried making her do lina's pose in the ref.... did i do good, i wonder?

I'm not sure if it's just because of Paprika's body shape and size being what it is or what, but most of the time if you show me an art of her based on a scene from the show where a character's face pretty much takes up the whole screen, I'm gonna like yours more outright. I'm not saying these won't ever be an exception where I don't mind the show putting the 'camera' so close to their faces like that, but it's certainly not something I fancy often. Also yeah, you did really nice! ^^

i made the squirrel form for fafnir the dragon
when he was older... i've yet to draw his older dragon form, i think :3 i i'm not sure I recall him ever appearing as such in the anime, though 🤷‍♂️well... i'm watching slayers eng sub after the ranma 1/2 remake after i catch up on pokemon horizons eng sub... so i can remind myself when i get to try (s3) edit at 6:28 pm: well, he has wings & dragon arms... but that's about it : o

View attachment 169871he was called ''nir'' before

he's about the height that tyria is in squrriel form, too ... if not, a slightly bit taller then her :3

while we're on this topic, all the ''golden dragons from slayers'' would be represented as any red squirrel, like tyria... while the ''black dragons'' would be represented by any other type of squirrel, like fafnir here

He looks really good! ^^

Even if the anime didn't show him grown up, that doesn't mean you couldn't use him that way in your version at some point if you want to. (you would not need any help or advice from me if all you were doing was just redrawing the show 1:1 with the only changes being the names and the fact that they're now animals after all)

And sounds good!

View attachment 169803
his name is ''paramour'' which kinda sounds like Milgazia... sorta https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Milgazia
he lives in the ''brightronto mountains'' ...
that sounds kinda like ''the katāto mountains'' in slayers & i like that

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Kataart_Mountains

He looks really good too! ^^ And that's a good name!

i updated the list with a new one
https://www.deviantart.com/akarifan25/art/1140006903

as for the last current spell on the list; i named it ''Fuego Inferno'' by combining the 'Bola de Fuego' 's fuego & the 'Demon Dragon Inferno Howl' 's inferno to make that spell name : D

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Garv_Flare

& the ''Espada'' in Espada blade comes from ''Espada Ragna'' & of course blade :3

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Ragna_Blade

I really appreciate the detail you put into your re-imagining of Slayers. I may not really understand much, but it's extremely obvious how important it is to you, and that's awesome!

i made another dragon/squirrel character, for much later
View attachment 169807

Very pretty colors on this one! ^^

View attachment 169812
he's named ''faf''
i've yet to draw their dragon forms : o

Really nice!

i made one of the elders of tyria's dragon-kind
View attachment 169821
his name is 'elder maddox'...
he's a very old squirrel
he's shown to be a little selfish....

I do have a couple of design suggestions for him. His eyes are slightly on the big side, and his forehead's a bit too round when compared to the image. The rest of his design looks great!

i did another ''cloud'' one today

View attachment 169960
from s3 ep 17

Cloud looks sad in this, while Amelia looks more 'concerned'. Though the art of Cloud herself is fantastic.

i did another paprika one
View attachment 169964
from s3 ep 23
she's kinda pretending, i think....

Silly and cute!

i did another paprika one
View attachment 170140
from s2 ep 6

i just had to ^^
(though, i didn't know how else to do her other foot : o )

I take it that's a popular image of Lina haha. 😅 And I can imagine Paprika's lack of knees makes poses like that a challenge, but you did a good job with it, especially considering her body's limitations.

i think she likes hot springs/bath houses

She and I have that in common, then haha.

these twoView attachment 170175
they both have swords that are made of the hardest wood in the world: Lignum vitae....
i must draw those sometime : o

I look forward to seeing their weapons when you do!

you know, during this watching of slayers anime eng sub, right now, i'll not always screenshot... only every now & then....
it just ruins the fun for me, i think, right now i've screenshoted a few already from s1 ep 1, though : 3

Well yeah, definitely don't do it if it's not going to be fun for you. That's the whole point of this, at least that's what I thought anyway. You enjoying yourself is the most important part of doing stuff like this, otherwise whatever comes out of it isn't worth the effort in my opinion.

i did some more today (i need to get a lot of them named, still, though :3 )
View attachment 170196

View attachment 170198
i love the last one

all from s1 ep 1, ep 2 & ep 3 :3

Nice! ^^ And the last one is really good, but my favorite of those is her 'nervous' face, it's just really cute to me.

yeah
that's the war with shabranigo & ceifeed that did that, i believe : O

Would be a really cool plot for a spinoff in my opinion.

i look forward to the reply to the other posts above, too... patiantly... whenever it comes

Well it's coming right now haha!


Ooookay, that's easily more than half, but I don't want to leave you hanging so I've split it into 2 parts again. Also I need to be in a specific mood to enjoy listening to music, so I've saved the parts of the reply with your music vids for a separate one where I'll listen to them all at once, then share my thoughts on all of the new ones. I just need to be in the mood for music or I won't enjoy them as much.

 

[popplio25]

That sounds silly coming from Lina. She seems like the type who'd do the same thing in Amelia's place given she's a super powerful fighter and all.

but then after she said that, after amelia said ''r-right... '' , filia said ''but it clearly looks like sh.... ''

lina then said ''don't you start now! '' (eng sub)
hahaha


the mountains called ''mt. coronay'', by the way :3

Not any one specific drawing, just the style that you were going with at the start. Just an observation is all.

aah, ok :3

That's nice. ^^

yeah :3

Awesome!

i'm all the way up to s5 for the subvsdub now, which i still need to start, on lightworks
edit at 6:49 pm on 27/2/25: i've got ep 1 & 2 done now

edit at 9:47 pm on 5/4/25: i finished the rest of them a good while ago now

I'll remember that, then. And nothing wrong with being a little shorter than average, some would argue that's cuter anyway.

yeah, i guess so : 3

As envisioned by Kanzaka, lina's height is ''147 cm (4 feet 10 inches)''

Indeed! ^^

Awesome! Will Paprika ever need to battle one in her story?

:3

welllll.....

.....
.......
i think so, yes.... i imagine she'll fight tyria in dragon form, after she meets her much later, as a test.... (i think that's resting on the backburner for right now, so to speak, waiting to be decided on....)
& later, i think she fights sukinowa (also resting on the backburner for now, i think)

I respect him for that. Making the best out of a not-so-fun situation, that is.

yeah :3

I never understood the obsession with chests like that. A lady's chest is what it is regardless of how big or small. And it's silly for someone stuck in the body of a tiny creature to try making fun of someone else for having something 'below average' haha.

yeah, well... tell that to whoever says it to her, haha 😅 (gourry in s1 (he didn't mean it, i think... he just wasn't expecting her to be the height that she was/is in the first episode of s1) & s2 (though lina didn't hear him say it in s2), martina in s2... the pirates in s4 ep 1... pokota in s4 & s5 .... red priest rezo (though ozzel says it for him cause he was in the jar at the time, s5)

That is one of my absolute favorite arts you've done of her. I LOVE how the coat looks, and the look on her face is adorable as well.

yay!
yeah, she is ^^

As a lover of her neck fluff, I fully support this decision!

:3

He says that, yet he's also the one in charge of actually making the characters and plot. If he actually really wanted to use her, he'd find a way to, just like anyone else who makes stories. He simply doesn't want to for whatever reason. I do think it's a mistake on his part to include her in the intros if she's never seen in the series itself, though.

🤷‍♂️
edit at 9:40 pm on 5/4/25: he made the characters, but rui araizumi is in charge of the art, i believe...

''Aside from being in charge of the light novel's illustrations, Rui Araizumi worked on other things as well, including the anime's character designs and drafts.''

But just having Lina mention her is absolutely fine whether she ever shows up or not.

yeah, after she said that in s1 ep 13, after gourry says ''you have a sister?'' she says ''oh, didn't i tell you?'' (eng sub)

Unfortunate for Lina haha 😅

yeah 😅

I wonder what her sister's motive was for that. Maybe it was just her being mean, but maybe there was secretly more too it than that.

well, let's just say this: ''Apparently, when they were younger, Lina would misbehave and Luna would "punish" her. (The most notorious incident between the two was when Lina set up a device that projected an image of Luna while she was taking a bath and sold it to lecherous boys). These punishments are probably why Lina is so terrified of Luna. 😅

This is further noted in episode 13 of Slayers (s1) where Lina manages to suppress the pain of anti-magic circlet's electrical shock in order to cast a spell, noting "Compared to what my big sister used to put me through, that was a piece of cake!"

Luna also has a surprising amount of control over Lina.

During TRY, all it took was a simple letter saying "Shut up and do it- your big sister" to get Lina to agree to help Filia save the world from the prophecy of destruction - although this was after Lina had a panic attack upon receiving the letter, prompting her to quickly build and seal herself inside a coffin, in a large pyramid.''

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Luna_Inverse



''Lina is terrified of her sister to the point of hysterics and she probably deserved these feelings. When she was younger, Lina wanted to make money, so she sold projections of Luna bathing and, as a result, Luna punished her.'' 😅

https://kanzaka.fandom.com/wiki/Lina_Inverse#Relationships

Unfortunately that path isn't explored at all cause the writer doesn't want to take the plot down that path, but that's his choice I suppose.

yeah :3

Oh nice! I'm glad she gets some spotlight time too.

yeah!

I LOVE him! He's SO cute! If plushes were ever made based on these characters, I'd have to have one of him.

yeah, he is : 3
ooh... who knows... he might, eventually : O

It's cute! And the 'donuts' look tasty haha. ^^

yeah :3 that looks like strawberry jam filling.... but give me chocolate filling, though :3

Sounds good. And you can always do those later on if you ever change your mind anyway. But just sticking to seasons for now's a good idea.

Firstly, I think the teeth look great on her! And second, I think you did a bit better, at least from how I enjoy things. Lina's a bit too zoomed-in in the pic from the show for my tastes, so your drawing with Paprika being slightly further back's better in my opinion.

thanks : D

& that's cause lina was leaning over.... paprika just has her paws on the table, i think :3

Cute art! And sounds good to me. I am curious what made you change your mind about that, though.

: 3
_____
I don't know... it just felt better, i guess

Still adorable!
And yeah, that does sound kinda similar. It's a good name choice too.

I'm not sure if it's just because of Paprika's body shape and size being what it is or what, but most of the time, if you show me an art of her based on a scene from the show where a character's face pretty much takes up the whole screen, I'm gonna like yours more outright.

(you would not need any help or advice from me if all you were doing was just redrawing the show 1:1 with the only changes being the names and the fact that they're now animals after all)

yeah :3

when i come across lines that i know are in the english dub too, i won't use them... just wouldn't feel fair to me, if i did that....
i'd have to think of different lines for those... that's probably the only thing i'd need a little help with : o
that's partially why i did the subvsdub videos...to know what's what with the subtitles & eng dub dialogue... what's the same in both sub & dub & what's not
plus it's fun to do those

And sounds good!

: D

He looks really good too! ^^ And that's a good name!

thanks : D

I really appreciate the detail you put into your re-imagining of Slayers. I may not really understand much, but it's extremely obvious how important it is to you, and that's awesome!

yeah, it's really great

Very pretty colors on this one! ^^

:3

i gotta draw their dragon-self sometime

Really nice!

:3

I do have a couple of design suggestions for him. His eyes are slightly on the big side, and his forehead's a bit too round when compared to the image. The rest of his design looks great!

i thought he looked best like that : o
:3

Cloud looks sad in this, while Amelia looks more 'concerned'.

: o

yeah, i think amelia was both concerned & ''thinking/remembering what happened'' :3

Though the art of Cloud herself is fantastic.

yeah, she does : D

Silly and cute!

here's a small bit of context of what happened in the episode :3

I take it that's a popular image of Lina haha. 😅

guess so, maybe? i've only done it once, with saria 😅

And I can imagine Paprika's lack of knees makes poses like that a challenge, but you did a good job with it, especially considering her body's limitations.

lack of knees... i guess you're right 😅
she does her best :3

She and I have that in common, then haha.

really? : o
nice :3

I look forward to seeing their weapons when you do!

Well yeah, definitely don't do it if it's not going to be fun for you. That's the whole point of this, at least that's what I thought anyway. You enjoying yourself is the most important part of doing stuff like this, otherwise whatever comes out of it isn't worth the effort in my opinion.

oh, it is still sooo fun, taking screenshots for saria's expressions... i just took a break right then : D

Nice! ^^ And the last one is really good, but my favorite of those is her 'nervous' face, it's just really cute to me.

:D

yeah, i love her little snaggletooth that she & lina has ^^

Would be a really cool plot for a spinoff in my opinion.

well.... there IS a spin-off that kanzaka & co made... the lost universe... it's said to be sorta connected to slayers Try.... its sister-season, if you will :3
though, one down-side to it: no lina & co in it.... that's why i don't watch it....

Well it's coming right now haha!

: D

Ooookay, that's easily more than half, but I don't want to leave you hanging so I've split it into 2 parts again.

OK!

I look forward to that

Also I need to be in a specific mood to enjoy listening to music, so I've saved the parts of the reply with your music vids for a separate one where I'll listen to them all at once, then share my thoughts on all of the new ones. I just need to be in the mood for music or I won't enjoy them as much.

OK!

i wonder if that includes the other slayers amvs that come after ''KagiriNai Yokubo no Naka ni'' that i put in my ''creative place'' thread, too...? or is that what you meant when you said ''all of the new ones'' ?... simply wondering



....
edit at 3:35 pm on 7/2/25: speaking of which.... i was thinking about maybe making a website to store my slayers amvs.. i don't know... cause my google drive is getting full with them.... I don't wanna delete them.... but not sure which to use... maybe wix or something ... something free
or unless i ''get 100 GB of storage for 39p for 3 months'' .... cause it's getting dangerously close to being full up, being 92% full __ __ edit at 5:57 pm on 20/2/25: it's actually lower now : o maybe i can upload more after all :3

edit at 6:41 pm on 8/2/25: well, i used to have a ... umm... a weebly website, i think it was, way back in the day... but it's now forgotten by me... & is now lost to history 😅
edit at 2:41 pm on 10/2/25: i 'might' try using weebly again, for them, after forever :3 i might even put my subvsdub videos on there, so people can watch them at their leisurely pace if they want to
