I'm a Shadow Man

You might want to think twice before challenging one of the most powerful pirates of the four oceans! Don't be offended if I kill you quickly and quietly, though- I'm trying to keep a low profile these days. Kishishishi!

((I recently got an adorable nendoroid figure of Loki. I can feel my Moria figure's accusing stare.))

IT’S STILL HALLOWEEN IN… one timezone…

I continue my tradition of doodling my favorite goth onion with unresolved PTSD!

Might be a bit over the top, but they can’t not be fancy as hell, so why not lol

Also, a cookie to whomever can guess what characters the outfits are based on))

[drink-your-bepsicola]

so I spent the weekend in a sleepover at my friend’s house, and we binged several One Piece stuff like the movies Baron Omatsuri and Strong World

it all reignited my love and nostalgia for One Piece like 9000 so I just HAD to doodle some of my fave characters :’’’)))

(Moria) Ugh, what just landed in my tea?! This is why I hate dining in plein air!

(Linlin) This really is a ship, then? It's got so much room! You've treated me nicely, but I really want to commandeer this ship.

[start id: a drawing of gecko moria. he is wearing a knit earmuff hat that looks like a fox, and an oversize red turtleneck sweater. moria is looking up at the hat, bemused. end id]

moria in winter wear for @zturtle!! went with something a little more simple, but i really wanted to draw moria in a cozy sweater and hat.

Hi there, I hope you are well, I discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to say I really love how you draw Moria, you make him so expressive and just downright adorable! You and reading thriller bark have actually given me a lot of inspiration for stories, characters and drawings, I'm still finding Moria difficult to draw but I'm starting to get the hang of him, so thank you so much and I hope you keep enjoying what you're doing!

((Thank you! I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed my blog; I feel bad about slowing down on how often I post, but juggling work, domestic obligations and my own waxing and waning inspiration has always been a challenge.

Moria has a simple cartoony look that’s really hard to get consistent, as evidenced by how amorphous he is in the manga. I try to start by outlining the curve of his head and neck using a simple fleshy shape,

...then work out his features in more detail. I often have to resize his facial features because I tend to draw his nose and ears too big.

I try to position his brow and nose within the bounds of his mouth and use his sideburns to outline his face.

His body is eggplant-shaped, with thin shoulders. I try to show his body stretching or hunching up expressively when I draw him.

I’m always glad to see other One Piece fans creating fanworks involving Moria!))

Doffy as a troll, croc an orc, jinbe a pandaran...what is moria? And is Ceasar a goblin?

((Your guesses were all correct, though I’m sad that the bony extremities and basically-human appearance of Moria did not make it obvious that he is forsaken. 

Just for fun, my Shichibukai/WoW lineup is as follows:

Crocodile: Orc enhancement shaman (refuses to play resto)

Kuma: Tauren protection paladin

Doflamingo: Darkspear troll fire mage (prefers arcane, but it’s underpowered)

Mihawk: Blood elf arms warrior (has always played arms, even when it wasn’t cool)

Hancock: Zandalari troll beastmaster hunter

Jinbe: Pandaren brewmaster monk (was probably an orc resto shaman before Mists of Pandaria)

Moria: Forsaken discipline priest (wants to play shadow but is forced to heal)

Buggy: Blood elf havoc demon hunter (formerly a goblin outlaw rogue, but he’s the sort of basic idiot who would’ve gone DH when Legion dropped)

Law: Forsaken blood death knight

I’ve never drawn Teach as a WoW class (I still can’t decide whether he’d be an orc or a goblin!), but he would be a warlock.))

[askmoria]

Ugh... I’ve been kind of busy lately.
