I'm a bit early, but so busy that I'm afraid I will forget to post... I thought a reworking of this old picture worked perfectly for Cancer the crab. Poor Jinpei/Keyop...*grin* Feel free to join in the challenge- here are the details: Gatch-a-Month Challenge

LOL we're all so mean to him

Very cute! Ever do the rest of the signs? Or you could do a full calendar Springie (Or has that been done already?)

Redbird, I have been doing horoscope pics once a month since January and I plan to continue. By the end of the year, I will have all of the signs done.

I should clarify that a little better. LOL. Yes, I was talking about the a year of the horoscope ones (will have to look for the rest of them now) but also a regular Gregorian calendar (January/February etc..).

That's why this is a challenge to the lot of us. Some of us will catch up later.

Serves Jinpei right. At least you didn't have him try it with his nipple.

Yes, Redbird...that would work well. We have the challenge set up for one Gatch picture a month (based loosely on the theme for each month- Valentine's Day, Beach, Halloween, etc.). We've had a lot of great pictures from many different artists. I've enjoyed everyone's contributions so much! A few years ago, we tried to put together a Gatch Fan Art calendar at Deviant Art, but we never went through with actually producing it. I chose to do the horoscope this year and it has been quite a challenge! Some months are easier to come up with a concept than others. Here's a look at what I've done so far...

Wow -- it's neat to look at them all together like that, Springie! I think my favorites so far are Aquarius and Gemini. And poor Jinpei! Gotta beware of us crabby Cancerians!

Thanks RIgirl! Becky- ouch! I'm glad I didn't think of that- too painful to draw!

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the calendar!

So managed to get my July image done early (well for me, late for the holiday it's themed to, but we won't count that). Anyway, first the sketch for the submission because I like both the sketch and the finished colored image... and then the colored version So... Happy (G)4th of July a bit late...

That's really cute Mylari! Good job!

Wow he really pops in color! Great job Mylari.

thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with this one

Aww, they're great Mylari, I love the fireworks in the background of the colour verson, makes the whole pic really festive

thanks! I keep thinking that the fireworks look more like stars, but they are growing on me

They're both impressive! *sigh!* I wish I had that talent... BTW, you may be late for the 4th, but you're just in time for Bastille Day!

Adorable! I love seeing him so happy. I'm sure he would love playing with the fireworks- (and annoying the rest of the team with them). You did an amazing job with this!

Sunnyday and Selkisfritz did an entry together for this month: Here's what Sunnyday said about the pic: "Ken the eagle and Yuka from Gatchaman season 2, episode "The pure heart of G-5". This fan art is a collaboration with SelkisFritz and is our contribution to the Gatch a month challenge for july. The sunset light gives to the drawing a hot and summer touch. Another pretty background of Selkis."

I really like this one...we just need Jun and Ryu (with shocked faces) spying on them from the bushes! Sunnyday really nailed their faces, too!

Wow! That's awesome work!

That's my favorite of all the episodes where a woman flirts with the Eagle. Ken is so PISSED when she knocks him down!

Ooooh, I wouldn't mind being there! I don't know which is dreamier: the background or the look on Ken's face!

Thanks everyone! It turned out better than I had hoped it would! That's a great pic by Sunnyday. Not sure if I've ever seen the episode, but the picture is fantastic.
