AH! found them. Photos of Conan Cookies, made by the wonderfully talented CloverKite. 🙂 She always makes a battle wounded Conan for me… and that time, made toast for Aaron to be late to school with!!! 

Man, we haven’t had a Conan party in forever, huh? We will need to FIX THIS…  maybe an epic one during Anime Banzai this October would work??? 

Going to try a thing

image

Someone mentioned on their tumblr that they were tired of seeing fanart from artists they like of stuff that they don’t like, and I doubt it was even about me but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I saw it last night.  So I’mma try a thing.

If you wanna see the fanart, click through.

I guess this way I can write commentary. This was a teeny-tiny sketch, done to make CloverKite squeal. It worked, so I drew more.

and then more

I had no reference to work from, but uhhh hopefully that’s okay. Here I depict some headcanon. The angsty backstory I wrote for Hakuba in the EPIC CONAN FANFIC gives him pale scars on his lower back. I ought to do some research about scars, though.

Oh, yeah, I also gave him cigarettes, which he occasionally uses to de-stress. More headcanon, but it’s been fun to give him some conflicts and traits that he needs to work through besides the obvious… CK isn’t a fan of that part for personal reasons, so I drew him shirtless, smoking AND smiling for once…  Carpet says I was being cruel. 🙂

And another one… S’allgood, he gets over it.

…Ahem anyway! SO… .. what did you think of this system? Does it work for you? Is the commentary option appealing? I know that the images just displayed aren’t as nice as a photo set, but if I can potentially make my followers happier then it is worth it. 🙂

For Conan Sunday, I present… the sketch for chapter one of EPIC CONAN FANFICTION, aka Call of the Raven! Each chapter, when finished and posted, will have a drawing to go with it. This one is called ‘The Love Letter,’ in which the detective boys discover a heart-stickered envelope attached to Conan’s bag on the way home from school. 

Inside is a letter from… Kaitou KID! Dun dun dunnnn.

Okay, now to work on a snippet of requested fanfic! 😉 

I wrote a little story about Hakuba for CloverKite last night. He goes Christmas shopping with Mitzi (OC of course) to find the perfect gift for Kaito. It was short and sweet and sappy so here is a drawing that I did about it.
The end!

CONAN SUNDAY UPDATE #2 (of three).

Remember how I was talking about Conan dying his hair, getting a haircut, tattoo, etc and changing his name to go under cover while under cover? Here are the drawings from that thought experiment. He goes by the name of ‘Koji’, which has no relation to anything else. 

The full story- 

A few weeks back, CloverKite and I found some awesome Korean (I think) fanart of Conan having been captured by some mysterious figures and being held under observation behind glass… It was a series of images. Kaitou KID watched from the roof or vents or something. I’ll have to find it and link it… I think it was on pixiv.

Anyway, being us, we made up a story to go along with it, and started writing even though we should have been working on EPIC CONAN FANFIC of DOOM. Conan disappears on the way home from school one day, captured by the  Black Organization who’s figured out who he is etc. etc. etc torture maim and so on. Kaitou finds out where he is and saves him.

Since Shinichi’s been found out, though, he can’t go back to who he was. He can’t go back to any of his former life or he worries that everyone will be in danger. So Ran, Heiji, Agasa, and so on all believe that Conan’s dead.

Kaito takes him in as his adopted foster brother, going by the name of Koji Watanabe, or now, Koji Kuroba. 

And stuff goes relatively well for a while once ‘Koji’ gradually recovers from the trauma… until he runs into Heiji on the street, who immediately recognizes him. Oops.

Shinichi’s parents get involved. Drama ensues. But hey, Kaito gets him a puppy, which he names Gomera. 8)

…and thus ends another episode of Gabapple and Cloverkite need to stop.

ps. Chianti is the one who gave him the tattoo, as a form of torture. I don’t think they expected him to live much longer.

30 days Detective Conan gif Challenge

Day 11 ● Favourite Episode/arc (5)

Three Days with Heiji Hattori – Detective Koushien Part (eps 479)

Can we just stop and appreciate how sweet Hakuba is to Conan in that last gif? Saying that he can take the Detective of the East’s spot and he’ll just be a guest from overseas, and crouches down next to him?

I think that’s what made me like Hakuba first… I didn’t know he existed until I was reading the Twilight Mansion case in DC, and even then, he was very kind to Conan. A guy who treats a little kid with respect can’t be all that bad, can he? Even Shinichi seems surprised that Hattori doesn’t like him during the Koushien.

<3 <3 <3 Hakuba. He’s amazing.

guuuuys I stayed home from work because I am sick as a dog today. And am talking to Icka about Conan. And wanting to buy Conan on itunes even though I own all of the American release 3 times over. 

…so here is a thing I drew yesterday. I know, I know, it’s not Conan Sunday but it’s fun. And I’ll probably repost it when I color it later on for a CS. 

Hakuba with his black eye, Aoko, and Kaito at school! good times.

“I won’t make the same mistake.”

Oh hey look, it’s the premise of the Epic Conan Fanfic in a nutshell! Yes, friends, this is what Call of the Raven is all about.

I’m particularly fond of the pencil rendering in this. Cardstock and .5 mechanical pencils are my allies.
