More from KoopusK
Right, still posting. I'm gonna try and keep active here as my current and very annoying habit here is to vanish off the face of the earth for months at a time. This is the third in the "Nostalgia" series, featuring my very good friend 
odin8898.
Odin has deserved some work from me for a very long time, you can be sure that this will not be the end of it...
Anyways, Odin gave me the suggestion of Comic Books... Vague? Yes. But I hope I did well by Odin's expectations. You know it's odd, (and rather embarassing as well) but although I'm trying to be a Comic Art major in college, I am not "in the know" with mainstream or rather 'serial' comics. Specifically- Er... "Superhero" comics. While most of my colleagues grew up with Batman, Spider Man, Justice League, and whatever else, I grew up with Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, and other stars of the newspaper comics page. So while my classmates are jabbering away about the new Batman movie or comparing the art styles of... *insert famous comic person here* and *insert another famous comics person here* I can only grimace and nod at any question that comes my way. I'm terrible with famous names too, I mean, I can tell you the names of all the bosses in Paper Mario, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you who created Superman.
But enough about me and my boring life... On with the overblown narrative!
************************************************************************
It was a slow and sleepy Saturday in the small second-hand book shop. The hum of the fluorescent bands above and the muffled sound of a nameless easy-listening tune were the only things that pervaded the drowsy quietude. The aisles lined with bric-a-brac and miscellanea were nearly empty of customers. However, down one of these aisles strolled a rather conspicuously inconspicuous wolf. Despite the summer heat and limited air conditioning, he was wearing a long, lapeled coat, with a collared white shirt and elegant black tie beneath. He also donned a fedora hat, in the shadows of its wide brim, brilliant blue eyes sparkled as they skimmed over the shelves, just browsing.
It is oftentimes that when one is searching for nothing in particular that they find exactly what they are looking for.
************************************************************************
Okay, maybe not that overblown, sorry Odin... Heh, I can just imagine the store attendant's reaction when he finds you, plopped on the floor, swimming in monstrously outsized garments, surrounded by comic books, flipping through countless leafs of brightly colored print, giggling happily, lost in fantasy lands and wild adventures of superheroes and brave explorers... ^^
I tried to be creative with the methods each of my friends' fursonas were regressed, by which I mean, the glowy aura is different for each. For Odin I referenced the printing process in which old comics were made, with half-tone dots. Sort of... Kind of- Almost clever... a little bit....

*Burns terribly bright and incandescent from both this gift and from all the kind words* I want to thank you so SO much for all of this, both compliments and this incredible piece, as well as apologize for giving you something so vague to work with (I guess I wasn't thinking at the time, I was still a bit floored that you made this offer at the time, cause it was so generous). And my expectations were no where near to the quality you put behind this! And there is certainly nothing wrong with enjoying stuff like Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield or other newspaper comics. I have collections of Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, and other strips alongside my graphic novels and single issues of the mainstream hero stuff. Still, I apologize for choosing this as my nostalgic item, since it brought attention to something that bothers you so, but you know plenty more about Mario and its lineage of Koopas then I do...also, just a nerdy fyi: it was Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel that created Superman ;3.
Onto the work itself, and I really do hope I don't come off bias or anything since this is a gift to me, because this whole Nostalgia series has been just fantastic, showcasing all of your skills over the past few years and how they've improved. First off, having it presented in a sequential narrative is of course a nice nod to the nostalgic medium, but catching all the little inside jokes you placed in here is also on of the better parts of comics that I've grown to love (they do so love to put Easter Eggs in backgrounds and foregrounds >.>), such as a the shrink ray for $2.99 (clearly not the going price for such a thing in our current economy ;D). Now, the before and after images of Odin are quite a treat, as it does showcase my silly nature (cause it does make a good point: even in summer weather, I always seem to wear the full noir getup X3), as well as adding more newspaper comic/cartoon style to it (such as the stars in my eyes in "panel" 2. The shading in the black white panels is quite superb, adding to the fabric of my coat, which of course looks very cute and over-sized once we focus on "panel 3", the colored splash page of a very excited pup, regressing under a cloud of very nostalgic looking energy (it IS very clever to use such a technique in coloring, a very sweet nod to the industry). As for the narrative, do not apologize Koopus! The picture says a thousand words for itself, and you spoil me with adding a narrative of any size. Thank you so much for all of this, it really is very good and I truly treasure it....And I too also can see the surprised clerk suddenly turned puppy-sitter finding me an most surprising situation. Once more, I can't thank you enough *hugs the koopa, and leans against him companionably, picking up the issue of Superwolf...and soon, the koopa would feel far less weight propped up agaisnt him, and puppish giggling from below...*
