Rosario and Joestar

Reader mode
For the sake of my sanity, I've decided to not bother with shading or defining any colouration other than 'black' and 'not black,' at least for now. I'll upload the finished picture in the morning.
 
That looks absolutely fantastic.

Also puts into perspective how huge Jotaro is compared to her. I mean goddamn you could stack three of her side by side and I don't think they'd be wider than him, maybe not even four.

She is tiny, and honestly makes the picture pretty adorable. Lot of things contributing to the adorable factor though.

Still....damn does that art look fine. Nice work!
 
I might come back to it some time to add in values to jazz it up so it isn't just mostly white with a single dominant black patch, but that would require a ruler and an hour or two with absolutely nothing better to do. And possibly a beer.

Wouldn't complain if you did, that's for sure.

All the same though, if you've still got some finals left, you should probably focus on that. Best of luck to you.

Omake: cute Christmas-themed shippy Jotaro x Mizore scene [by Rikalous]
  • Threadmarks
    • As promised alluded to as a possibility, I found time for a holiday omake this week. Behold the fruits of entire minutes researching Christmas traditions in Japan and elsewhere.
    ___________

    Ah, Christmas Eve. A time for the lucky to be lovey-dovey with their significant others, the unlucky to resent their lack of a significant other to be lovey-dovey with, and one young man of rather debatable luck to cast desperately about for something, anything, to distract his growing collection of would-be significant others before anyone got upset or stabbed.

    "Hey Yukari, are you looking forward to presents from Santa?" Tsukune was perhaps not the best in the world at thinking under pressure.

    "Eh, my parents stopped giving me Christmas presents when I was six. I worked out the math to prove that even using time magic he couldn't possibly get to every house in one night, and they took me out for ice cream as a reward." Yukari smirked at Kurumu. "Yes, I'm afraid Santa isn't real. I know that must come as an awful shock."

    Kurumu sniffed. "Please. I'm a succubus, you silly little girl. We know how to celebrate Christmas right, and it has nothing to do with some fat old man." She glommed onto Tsukune's arm and leaned in to whisper in his ear. "Let me show you...<3"

    Yeah, that distraction was a miserable failure.

    Just when it seemed Tsukune was doomed to be subjected to a three-way tug-of-war, help came from an unexpected quarter. Jotaro and Mizore were usually content to stoically watch the antics of the rest of the group be Not Their Problem, but this time Mizore spoke up. "Christmas isn't just about Santa, you know. There's also the Krampus. He's a hairy giant with horns and a long tongue who whacks bad children in the legs with a stick."

    "What the hell," inquired Tsukune.

    "And if they've been really bad, he puts them in his sack and whisks them off to the underworld forever. My grandma used to tell me stories about him all the time."

    "What the hell," repeated Tsukune, in case he wasn't clear the first time.

    "I've read about something like that," mused Moka. "Except he took them to Spain, which never sounded like much of a punishment to me. Spain seems like a nice place."

    "Seriously, what the hell. How did a day about a child-kidnapping maniac turn into something romantic?" asked Tsukune, who had by this point been distracted from the fact that he was trying to distract people from thoughts of romance.

    "It makes perfect sense to me," said Mizore, glancing at Jotaro and smiling slightly. "A huge scary man beating up bad people? Very romantic." Can we hold hands?

    Jotaro glowered fondly at her. Why not. It's Christmas.

    It shouldn't have been cute. He was a violent delinquent. She was a creepy stalker. Put together they were about as emotive as half a person.

    It shouldn't have been cute.

    It shouldn't have made the others jealous.

    It certainly shouldn't have lasted the way it did, long after most high school couples break up. But that, dear readers, is a story for another time.

    You underestimate the power of Santa's Stand 「Jingle Bells」, Yukari.

    This is why I celebrate Diomas.

    His time magic works!
     
    Omake born from special occasions (like holidays) or are semi-canon (Jotaro vs Rikiishi at Wrestlemania) usually get threadmarked.

    I will link to the artwork, though.

    Actually, it's spelled weird, not wierd.

    Yeah, I know. It's weird. Ba-dum tish.

    Come to think of it, you're only just now beginning to notice how much Mizore seems to enjoy physical and/or skin contact...

    "Excellent. The two of us - make that the three of us," he adds on seeing... whatever Mizore's expression was... "will go to Witch Hill and make a cursory examination of the place to see if we can't get any information the mass disappearances. If those Newspaper Club friends of yours want to cooperate, they're welcome to."

    You pull the brim of your hat down over your eyes. "And how, exactly, does this constitute Hamon training?"

    Silly Jotaro! It's tradition!

    Kind of like how it's tradition for Joestars and their compatriots to get attacked whenever they're on airplanes boats carriages absolutely every single form of transportation./jk

    "The disappearances come first. Once we get that settled, I'll see if I can't put you through some of the same hell I suffered at the hands of my trainer..."

    ...well, that definitely doesn't sound ominous. Nope, not at ominous at all.

    Oh, you have no idea, Jotaro. You have no idea.

    Impressive. You managed to make a character that didn't seem like they'd fit into the JJBA art style...well, fit into that art style. And it doesn't look odd or out of place.

    This is so strange.

    And yet, it's also absolutely amazing. For some reason, I now want to write an omake where Jotaro, Mizore, and Joseph (maybe a few others) all wind up journeying to the North Pole to save Christmas.

    Indeed. Yukari, you should be ashamed of yourself./jkIn fact, on a related note, let me tell you a story...about a man, who saved the world. And Christmas.

    His name was Son Goku. And you know what he always said?

    Never, ever waste figgy pudding.

    And now, a message to the entire thread: Happy Decemberween, and a Happy New Year! Granted, it's not the 25th yet, so it's not really Decemberween, but whatever.
    Edit: Oh, I forgot this;
    [X] Yukari

    In my head, I know that... but it always looks weird, no matter which way I spell it. Weirdly, wierd looks a bit less weird to me.

    Probably more accurate would be "only just now making a conscious observation of it".

    And what's stopping you? I sure as hell ain't.
     
    It's because it's a bastard-ass exception to that "i before e" rule, and yet it neither sounds like an "a" nor follows after a "c".

    EDIT: almost done rewiring my brain to accept the proper spelling for it.
