YES ABSOLUTELY YES 🙌

Robin is the only one Nami willingly takes on the Waver

YES 💚💚

that one zoro outfit for the 20th anniversary drives me insane i swear

Y’all are cooking with this! I’m so glad I’m not the only one with TMA + OP brainworms

I haven’t assigned all the Strawhats entities yet but my thoughts are:

Luffy as The Spiral cause I think it’d be fun if his smile was scary, and gear 5 design like you said. Also the “all his bones are in his hands” could apply since Luffy is literally boneless and can change/distort his body.

Zoro as The Eye because hear me out he’s really afraid of not being able to fight the monsters or save his friends. So forcing him to just watch horrible things happen would be his hell. He’s also green, so he fits the color scheme.

Usopp as The Stranger since he can only be brave by putting on a mask/persona of some sort. Metaphorically ‘wearing someone else’s skin’ becoming not-so-metaphorical.

Franky would also have affinity with The Stranger, although in a different way.

Sanji as The Lonely becase his fears and insecurities would trap him, although I do always love cannibal aus for him. Orrr The Vast perhaps? Like an evil version of the All Blue with only empty, endless sea and sky.

Robin as The Web bc I do think she’d be great at manipulation, also her devil fruit giving her multiple arms. But she fits so well with The Eye too, maybe she could be a double-agent and use the powers of both.

This is what I’ve been thinking about for like a month now so it’s cool to hear other people’s ideas! I just listened to MAG111, where they explain/name all the entities and we meet Gerry. :’)

Not sure how much crossover there is in the Magnus Archives, and One Piece fandoms but...

Robin would for sure be an avatar for The Eye right? Like, she actually manifests eyes in various places to spy on people and gather knowledge. Plus shes always studying ancient ruins and has a hunger to know the secrets the goverment wants locked away

As for the others,

Luffy would be a victim of The Lonely

(Gear 5 Luffy could be an avatar for the spiral if he wanted 🤷‍♀️)

Zoro would be an avatar for The Hunt

Nami could fall prey to The Desolation - specifically 'the destruction of potential', and it would be arlongs doing

Usopp ...victim to anything really. Going to say The End just to cover all bases

Sanji terrorized by The Web not feeling in control of his life, stuck in the designs of his birth family

Chopper The Corruption, making him fight a losing battle against disease

Franky and Brook i have no idea. An argument could be made for them as avatars of The Stranger?

Very curious to see different takes on this though!

Promise

Experimenting with brushes to try and speed up my lineart process… thoughts?

YESSS!! And maybe when Zoro uses his Asura form his swords fuse with him to become actual demonic fangs and arm spikes/blades! 👹⚔️

Me, a delusional: 40yo Zoro puts 2 swords in his mouth out of sheer willpower and people confuse those with demon fangs

Ooough, Sanji carrying Zoro to safety when he can’t stand/walk, my hearttt 🥺💞

And Zoro lighting Sanji’s cig for him too>>>

after the battle

for the past several years now i've been telling myself that This Is The Year i buckle down and learn how to draw kissies but like fuck it This is the year

stock photos used! these were all partially traced for big/rough shapes and partially referenced; the further along i got, the more i referenced rather than tracing. kisses have been a thorn in my side for ages because i have such a hard time wrapping my head around the combined 3/4-away-from-viewer angle + tilted toward/away-from-viewer angle but even in this handful of sketches i found myself needing to like, figure out the angles less and less as i went. it's almost like intentionally practicing a thing makes you better at it. fucking crazy if true.

USOPPS DAY AT LAST🥹💛💛💛 happy birthday to the most amazing sniper there is

Close up of the redraws!
