Oekaki Highlights
From Chrono Compendium
Ah, Oekaki: the ancient Japanese art of logging into a web browser-based drawing application, doodling crazy fast, and then sharing the result on a bulletin board. Did you know that the Compendium has a long-running tradition of Oekaki posting? Check out some of the highlights from 2007 through 2010. It's still running, so check out the Compendium Oekaki board if you get the artistic itch!
"Karsh as Kyouya" by pandor Time: 100 minutes App: ShiPainter It's always fun to see one character dressed up as an another character from an entirely different franchise, especially when that other franchise involves the word "OBJECTION!" We tracked down Pandor's inspiration, Klavier Gavin from Ace Attorney 4 (that's Kyouya Garyuu for Japanese-speaking fans). And Chrono fans may very well find it easy to agree: Karsh totally should have been drawn this way, with this rockstar attitude, from the beginning. So Pandor was just setting things straight. |
"Schala" by Rat Time: 24 minutes App: ShiPainter Fantastic contribution by Rat. As the commenters suggest, once you place a character in a non-canonical situation - or, perhaps, a non-canonical hairstyle - the audience wonders how the character got there. It's sure-fire material for fan fiction! |
"Magus" by Seris Time: 68 minutes App: ShiPainter Seris was intentionally trying to capture the physically ugly side of Magus...but we have to agree with one of the commenters: le swoon. Even at his fan art ugliest, Magus looks too much like Spock - or maybe too much like a swearing truck driver - not to love. Is there anything Magus, or Magus artists, can do to escape the adoration of the wide Magus fan cult? Probably not. |
"catch a falling star" by Flash of Green Time: 63 minutes App: ShiPainter A simple thumbnail can't do justice to the entirety of the piece, but it's fascinating how the viewer's attention might be drawn to this little corner so far removed from the main action. Is it due to Flash of Green's apparent use of layers or the thought that I could have been that nameless person getting blasted by Lavos on that day? |
"So cold" by maggiekarp Time: 27 minutes App: ShiPainter The "one true pairing" that so often recurs in Maggiekarp's fanart is the secret joy of everyone who calls themselves a true Chrono fanart connoisseur. C'mon, admit it! It seems so wrong at first, but on a frigid winter day like this, it feels so right... |
"Flirt" by Ayu Time: 41 minutes App: PaintBBS Secondary characters so seldom get to step into the spotlight, let alone in chibi form. The concept of hair bangs casting shadows over the subject's face - and how the effect becomes more intense in the background than in teh foreground - was really interesting to see here. Okay, okay, so we picked this one to show just because Miki has a cute little star on her face. You caught us. |
