"Shinku and Tianzi"

[iorie.livejournal.com]

I've started making a series of 4-koma comic strips, parodying the scene at the end of CG R2 episode 9 (with Tianzi and "SHINKU!"). Some of you may have already seen these strips floating around various imageboards such as 4chan.

I'm taking a short break from drawing these at the moment, but I should be back soon to make more!

Shinku and Tianzi #6

Shinku and Tianzi #7



NOTE: These strips may contain various references, some of which may be obscure. (Strip #5, for example, is a reference to "Little Girls" by Oingo Boingo.) If you do not understand the reference to any of these strips, I'd be glad to explain.

Explanation? Please? =P

Obscure references are obscure, too obscure for me.

I didn´t get 3, 5 and 7.

The guy in strip #3 is Johannes Krauser II, from the manga and upcoming anime "Detroit Metal City."

Strip #5 is a homage to Oingo Boingo, and Danny Elfman in particular.

Strip #7 features Dio Brando and Senator Wilson Phillips from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

(Also note, Phillips is speaking a famous quote from the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.")

And if anyone didn't catch the hidden reference in strip #4:

Thank you for the explanation! =D

By the way, I like your comic strips, your artwork is great. :D

For 3, "Heaven or Hell, let's rock!" is what they say before fights start in some fighting game (Guilty Gear, I think?) and the "RAPERAPERAPE" guy is from Detroit Metal City, a manga (soon to be anime) about a mild-mannered Japanese guy who lives a double life as a death metal star.

Ooh, I see.

Thanks for the explanation. :D
