POLL TIME!!!
Some of you might recall awhile ago that Sea Slugs finally reached the 4000th comment, and that as SST tradition dictates, Kabitizin must grant the winning commenter with his/her choice of fanart. Unfortunately, we were unable to extricate a fanart request from our 4000th commenter, Epi. Since this is a totally unprecedented turn of events, we decided to do something out of the ordinary and throw it out to the public, American Idol style. Without the singing.
Anyhoo, a poll will be up shortly that will allow you all to vote on which series the fanart will be derived from. Once the winner has been determined, we’ll be open to suggestions on what the topic or situation should be. Since there’s simply too many series out there, we have decided to limit the series selection to 5 rough ‘n’ ready contenders. Coincidentally, these are the more popular series, which will most likely offend and enrage those of you who eat strawberry yogurt. If there’s enough demand for a particular niche series, we’ll add it to the polls. Also, I will be open to palm greasing if anyone wishes to circumvent Kabitzin’s democratic tendencies.
The contestants are, in no particular order:
- Utawarerumono: Who wants some Aruruu snuggling action? <Raises hand>
- Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: I always wondered if Kabitzin would be able to pull off a blood ‘n’ guts piece.
- The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Never underestimate the power of a Mikuru molestation scene.
- Ouran High School Host Club: Might be our only chance to see Kabitzin do sparkly bishies.
- Nana: Kabitzin is not a fan of the odd art style. How ironic would it be if he had to mimic it?
As you can see, I’m pretty much in favor of anything that gives Kabitzin a hard time. Here’s to hoping that he doesn’t cop out with a chibi 4-koma! I highly encourage everyone to spread the word and crank up the pressure – otherwise he’ll just get lazy and procrastinate.

How about a crossover? Rena from Higurashi in a death match against Asakura Ryouko from Suzumiya Haruhi.
*votes*
I’m hoping for some (older) Mikuru x (younger) Mikuru fanart action! XD
As much as I would love to see a Yuki fanart, my vote goes to Utawarerumono.
SHaruhi is popular enough as it is already, with multiple fanarts galore littering the internet, and so I wish to give another series a chance.
As for the theme? Twins archers in drag; ô,ô or if only one character is allowed, Hakuoro cosplaying as a Gundam villian.
Cheers.
Wait, but are they girls or boys? What would drag be for them???
Haha, maybe if there is a tie…
Utawarerumono FTW
I read somewhere that in the game, the archers were boys. It looks like they are already cross-dressing though *_*
Or how about this.
You do a Higurashi fanart of Shion, and I [JOKE]add you three to my emo hitlist[/JOKE].
Sound fair enough?
(And yes people, the Emo hitlist does exist. I have a morbid sense of humour.)
/me votes for Utawarerumono
Ahem… Kamyu ? Onegai ?
What the hell? I don’t see the series I want. Give me Last Exile!
Nice choice of colours. I’m not sure whether I recognize all characters. The first is with no doubt Hina Ichigo. No idea about the 2nd. The 3rd looks like Natsuki from Mai HIME. Next comes a Gundam Seed character, maybe Meer? The blonde girl looks like Saber. The last one could be Sora from Kaleido Star.
Desho desho?
tj han, although Kabitzin and I both *love* Range Murata’s art, we had to narrow the field to series that are currently running. Otherwise, there would never be a consensus.
Hmm, I didn’t think anyone would turn the art collage into an identification game. Pretty close on most of those, Chris. The first isn’t Hina Ichigo, though Kabitzin does have a nice Hina piece that was never colored in [you need to finish that up!]. I believe the second one was actually entitled “self portrait”, though I could be wrong on that.
Hot damn, how did Ouran suddenly rocket to the top?
The characters are, from right to left:
Sora (Kaleido Star)
Evangeline (Mahou Sensei Negima)
Lunamaria (Gundam Seed Destiny)
Natsuki (Mai Hime)
Sasuke (Naruto)
Princess Fine (Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime)
Ouran had a huge rocket start (or perhaps rolling start) out the gate, but we’ll see if the graph holds up.
I am all for the Ouran High School Host club art! I never get enough Twincest^^
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni FTW! The world needs more killer lolis!
How about ARIA?
Killer loli twincest FTW.
Though I assume if Epi does file a request then all bets are off?
No, it’s all community at this point.
Ouran High, definitely. And in the yaoi-est theme Kabitzin can endure to draw. ;p
-_-”
well I gotta say I’d like to see higurashi mixed with any of the other series .. would be kidna funny to see how some characters would deal with crazy lolis
kidna leanign towars SHnY for Mikuru…
Gundam X Uta… that’s a good idea.
Hakuoro as Char/Zechs/Neo/Masked Man or Dorii and Guraa as the Hawke Twins FTW. Any Utawarerumono character would also do.
Oh, and the Archer Twins are both guys… Heck, even Hakuoro was fooled by them. ^_^
I’m torn between Aruru or Tamaki. Heck, just go with Utawarerumono, since it’s cute.
Get your friends to vote for Aruruu too! Utawarerumono needs a serious boost to catch up with Ouran at this point. Time for some haxxoring…
I think any self-respecting anime lover would vote a cross over of Ouran and Utawa just to have not one, but TWO pair of gay twins. Call now and you’ll get not one, but TWO pair of gay twins!
I mean, damn.
Personally I’m up for Utawa. Too many cute girls to resist! Aruru and Kamyu in some sort of cute pose would be awesome .
OTL
Ouran has such a huge lead over Utawarerumono.
The top three are actually quite close!
OMG I missed it?!? Am I still allowed to request?! Noooooooo
Well I vote for Ouran then if I had to, although I would have loved a Mahoromatic one
See this is what happens when you lose your internet connection for 3 weeks thanks to the cable company screwing up.
Why Mikuru, why not the demi-goddess herself… oh did i say demi (looks around warily), i mean goddess… yes… goddess… of course there isn’t somebody higher in the hiearchy than Haruhi… ahem
With the casting of the 300th vote, I hereby shout out loud…
“Honour to Utawarerumono!!!!”
*gets swept away by the Haruhi fans*
I’ll probably be closing this poll sometime tomorrow evening, standard win-by-2 rules. Will Ouran go wire to wire, or will Suzumiya be finally mount a comeback at the last second?!
Of course there is also the possibility that one of the darkhorses will mount an amazing comeback, although Nana is probably out of striking distance at this point.
*hoping Kabitzin will surprize with a surprize Mahoro pic:( *
