omg, it must be some sort of unwritten rule of the universe that you spot ALL your anatomy and proportion errors AFTER everything is nicely colored and shaded. Not before, when you still have a chance of fixing the problem without necessitating MASSIVE coloring changes. Always after.
I had a lot of trouble with this pic, but I'm decently happy with the way it turned out. There are still problems I can see that don't sit too well with me but I'm so done with fiddling with it!! agh!!

Drew this as a possible aftermath of the Grimoire Heart attack before 211 came out. You know Gazille only sent her away so he could put a massive beatdown on the 2 goons who hurt her without her having to see their mangled bodies afterwards. hahaha...

Also, it WOULD be like Gazille to make sure Levy's taken care of first while he pours blood from a dozen places. Ii such a hopeless romantic for this couple herp derp.

Finally...Gazille or Gajeel? Man, I need to make up my mind but both sound decent? :/

I think Gajeel is better cause when I read Gazille I either think a gazelle (no emoticons with gazelles so Bambi will do)   or  Godzilla! XD lol

I think that 'Gajeel' is the most right way to say/write it, but then again that's maybe just me
I would've loved it if the actual series happened like that :3

Despite the the proportions errors you're talking about.
This drawing is still very cute !
And, I agree with you, it is Gajeel-like (suits Levy too) ^^

I allways give my line art to my friends to find anatomy and proportion errors before I color, couse I don't see them before I am done either xD

This is so cute!

How cute ! I wish it happened in the manga !
In french we say "Gajil" so I'm more used to "Gajeel". The name "Gazille" makes me think about a gazelle (is this word right ? Or an antelope ?) and it doesn't really suit him ^^.
Great work ! I'm totally in love with this couple (and your drawings) xD

yeah, we started off with Gazille, and then switched over to gajeel which was the "official" spelling, but it took me a bit of time to make the awkward transition and I was stuck saying Gazille/Gajeel for a while in between before I got used to it! Gazille makes me think of Godzilla, and yes, gazelle XD

In translations I always Read "Gajeel". But I don't know it for sure either. ^^

I would be really like him to do that. Thats kind of adoreable.

aww, thank you! also, WOW that's a new pronunciation for him that I haven't heard before! How do you say it?

Marissa-R In reply to acidic-fire [2010-12-26 14:19:18 +0000 UTC]


But it's not the official name
It means cute little nut xD

G as in 'good'
A as first 'a' in 'marmelade'
YEH no 'h' sound; the 'y' sound is more noticeable after a vowel or when it is the first letter in a word
CH as in 'church'
K as K
A as first 'a' in 'marmelade'

I'm sorry for my late answer. Exams turn me on the dark side,because they want to know what colour of trunks are on Oblomov ^^

awwww. elfman would praise gajeel's manliness here.
this should have happened, but then again levy looking after an unconscious gajeel (or at least that's what's implied in 213) is just as sweet. XD

MUUUURRRRR!

Goddamn it woman! Why are all your Gajeel/Levy pictures so awesome and adorable! I love how sexy and shiny your colours areeee. -drools over- Let me know ASAP if you ever feel like doing a collab with someone because daaayum.

And Gajeel is going to beat them into the ground. They'll regret interfering with the wonderful UST! But I must thank them for bringing about the fluffy, wonderful rescue and the iron heart.

hehe, I make art for the express purpose of planting cute ideas into people's heads, hoping that they'll write for me! (aka I'm trying to Inception them, haha) and thank you! I actually really dislike my lineart and colors - everything always looks so...2D, awfully flat and static with no hint of movement. I'm trying out a few new things to see how they look, I really want to improve!

haha man, the moment I agree to a collab, my productivity will just...grind to a halt. something about the responsibility just like...turns off my creative drive or something! x___x

zabbs In reply to acidic-fire [2010-11-17 21:48:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh, it's working! Fluffiness overload! Keep feeding and planting! I may even get around to updating Whenever! XD (aka the lamest drabble on FF.net) Your colours are so sleek and smooth and sparkling. ;A; It makes my colours feel quite inadequate, but I guess colouring is always one of the hardest parts to get a hang of! Practise, practise, practise! And I think a lot of your work does have movement! For example 'Uses for a Headband' is movementful!

Haha, I totally know what you mean, but a girl can dream! XD I'm in the middle of a total deadline crunch in art and I have about twenty Avatar posters to make for a school show and all my motivation to do my own art has just vanishhhhhed.

I'm not sure, they spell it as Gazille, and at times Gajeel, but for me I use Gajeel since it's easier to write ^^

Hinodeh [2010-11-15 09:02:34 +0000 UTC]

I think "Gajeel" is the offical spelling. Del Ray (the American publisher of FT) asked Mashima about various names and their English spellings.

For the art: once again, this is just too cute! I love the idea. Gajeel is such a hardass and all "'Tis just a fleshwound". Poor Levy. Dealing with such a self-destructive guy... XD

Love the coloring, too. It's so vibrant.

acidic-fire In reply to Hinodeh [2010-11-16 03:06:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I was actually debating whether to go more desaturated with this once, but after altering, it just looked so dreary so I kept it bright and just hoped it wouldn't look too happy and woodland-y.
"Tis just a fleshwound" - BANG DEAD ON. I thought this in my head while I was drawing him being all macho and big man, but I really can't see Gajeel fixing himself up while ignoring Levy when she's hurting. It doesn't seem like it's in his nature (at least not nowadays)
I guess I'll be going with Gajeel now, from what everyone says (dang it, and after I got used to typing Gazille too!)

Hinodeh In reply to acidic-fire [2010-11-16 10:24:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I also can't see him taking care of his wounds first. I think the recent chapter proved as much. I think before she tossed him the iron he actually was ready to die so that she could live and also warn and therefore maybe save the others.

Or at least, even if he thought that he could win, he was so badly hurt that he probably knew that he maybe wouldn't make it this time.

I got used to Gajeel when I started reading FT on mangastream because they use mostly that nowadays. XD
