Very interesting. I mean that in a good way. Is it set in WWII? They look like either Us or RAF fliers. It's definitely a picture that is fuel for thought.

Oh very nice! I like it very much! Took me a bit before I realised it was Cronus (just the whole sans face covering thing) As usual, gorgeous work, Springie!

Great pic!

This is great. I can tell who these men are, yet they obviously look younger than they do in the series. It also shows a clear friendship between the two. I also love that if you make Nambu's glasses a little more round, he looks like John Lennon! Amethyst, who is this gift for?

I love the picture. Are we meant to be guessing who the picture was created for? I thought it we were guessing who drew/wrote the piece, and yet I see Springie's name on this one. So that is given away.

*walks in* *wipes egg from face* *kneels down and begs forgiveness* Okay, dramatics over, confession time: I screwed up with this one. I gave Springie the wrong prompt. However, I'm pretty sure that all the others are correct. I'll post a few more throughout the day tomorrow with their recipient.

OOPS! That's okay, Amethyst! I'm just glad that everyone can tell who they are supposed to be! The prompt said to draw or write a story about Nambu or Red Impulse...so I just went ahead and did both! My guess is that this came from RI Girl...am I right?

Actually, no, that request came from someone else. I'll reveal them when I post the gift they were supposed to get.

Very nice pic. RI would be the pilot, would Nambu be the navigator?

*snicker* Oh, sure, RI shows up and I'm the one everyone suspects *giggle* Can't imagine why ... Well, "oops" or not, may I just say that when I first saw this picture, I was and still am. It is extremely rare that I get to see any original fan art portraying my favorite character, so this was truly a special treat! Time and effort were not wasted -- I, for one, absolutely love this picture!

Garnet, my first thought was that maybe they had gotten a day's leave, or pass, or whatever the military calls it, and went to see an Air-Space Museum. Or maybe the base they were stationed at were having an air show and some older working planes were brought in. There can be lots of stories, really ...

Sorry I didn't answer this sooner, Garnet! Yes, I based everything off of WWII pics. And RIgirl, I thought for sure that this was your request! LOL and I agree, it would be interesting to hear someone's take on their friendship during the war. Oh, and CD, you're right...I gave myself away with the signature, but I'm sure that most people would know it was mine, anyway. I didn't realize that the "giver" was supposed to be a secret...oops!

That's a wonderful pic! I would have guessed it was Springie's even without the signature!

Springie certainly does have a distinctive style! It's as if the Tatsunoko artists have come back to life...

You're so right, TJ!

I love the sharp uniforms and the vintage feel of this picture -it does evoke the feeling of WWII as well as the unique and strong camraderie that develops between soldiers in a time of war when they rely on each other for their very lives. And you can tell from looking at them that they would have interesting stories to tell, either of battle or of adventures they got up to during leave time! Truly excellent, Springie!

Oooo Springie, I love the detail and camaraderie your picture depicts. Absolute love it!!!

My Goof: In my notes I gave Springie Gatchmarie's prompt. When I sent the prompt, I sent UW's. The result: War Buds by Springie
