Take Death into my Own Hands

Monkey D. Luffy. The boy who always smiles.
How can he never accept defeat, but will accept Death...?

Well, this is radically different.

And I'm SORRY if I ALWAYS have to draw guys SHIRTLESS.

Shirts are crap anyways.

But, yeah. Shading realistically is quite fun. Realistic eyes are too. You can probably be expecting more like this from me.

Oh, and he's holding onto a mast. >_<
With a sail. Without a Crow's Nest. >_>
So I guess it's not The Going Merry, or The Thousand Sunny. *shrug*
Uhm, I tried my best on the denim... and I like it... especially the frayed scratches...
I think my favorite things, though, are his left hand, fingernails, abdomen... and his eyes, I guess.
Uuuuuuuuh... his right hand/arm kinda bugs me... and don't get me started on his hat. >_< (It's supposed to be flying off his head, too...)
But overall, I'm reeeeally proud of it!
