DeviantArt Saturday: Dead Bones Brook

This week on DAS I've decided to go over one of my latest favorite One Piece characters. Brook. With it comes a challenge. How can I show off Brook and spoil as little as possible, since he's from the latest episodes? Well I think I can do a good job, if you're REALLY weary of spoilers stay away, but if you're behind or not very into One Piece, just look at this as a small teaser.



Brook, probably one of the best conceived skeleton characters since Jack Skellington. And Brook is all that and THEN some. He sings, makes jokes, and uses some fancy swordsmanship. It should be known that Tim Burton is one of OP creator Eiichiro Oda's favorite directors, and The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of his favorite movies. I could be wrong, but it's pretty obvious that the Thriller Bark saga is an homage to that love and admiration. And in the center of that is Brook. Let's get started.



Brook in the Night by ~Gandaresh


Excellent, moody picture. Watercolor? Airbrush? Can't quite tell, but it looks phenominal.



Gentleman Brook by =SirCrocodile

Again, a lean towards realism. Only drawback is his humorous personality isn't portrayed very well. This looks more like Airbrush, right? Man if there ARE artists looking at this, I apologize for sounding like such an idiot.


The Grim Adventures of Brook by =Pirate-Cashoo

And now the first "crossover". Could you just imagine, it's somehow, strangely fitting.


Let Me See Your Panties by ~theflamingalberto

Now I know Cosplay isn't art per se, but it does exist on DeviantArt, so I find it still counts. This guy is AWESOME. Great costume (be sure to check out his Gallery) I would have so much fun dressing up and parading as Brook. If I ever hung out with Horror Movie actors like I did a few years back, I'd beg them to let me dress up as Brook for their haunted house productions. Man I'd have such a blast!


Brook: Merry X-mas by SugarRush94

Now here's a more humorous picture. Simply drawn, and yet true and accurate. Brook has a panties fetish, so naturally, that's the number one thing on his Christmas list. The thing I like about Brook, is he's a Gentleman like Sanji, but UNLIKE Sanji, he doesn't go completely gaga or loses his sense. He simply has to as the important question, "May you please show me your panties?"


Brook and Jack by Goldman-Karee

I really have to recommend something from Karee's gallery, she's a Dragonball, One Piece AND POTC fangirl, so she has lots of neat little crossovers, and just good art in general. It's kinda a silly joke. But I'm, a dork and into those sorta things.

Final Verdict: Well doing a search is dangerous spoiler territory. But like I said, I thought I'd do something different. And at least there isn't anything over the top weird, just spoiler-rific. I'll leave some related bonus material for the weak showing this week. Some great fanart which doubles as Wallpaper.


CN U C BROOK?


These pictures can be found here and here respectively. Hope I can find something more interesting for ya next week, I just had a strong desire to do Brook, so sue me.
