Ah, Oekaki: the ancient Japanese art of logging into a web browser-based drawing application, doodling crazy fast, and then sharing the result on a bulletin board. Did you know that the Compendium has a long-running tradition of Oekaki posting? Check out some of the highlights from 2007 through 2010. It's still running, so check out the Compendium Oekaki board if you get the artistic itch!



Karsh as Kyouya Thumb.png
"Karsh as Kyouya"
by pandor
Time: 100 minutes
App: ShiPainter


It's always fun to see one character dressed up as an another character from an entirely different franchise, especially when that other franchise involves the word "OBJECTION!" We tracked down Pandor's inspiration, Klavier Gavin from Ace Attorney 4 (that's Kyouya Garyuu for Japanese-speaking fans). And Chrono fans may very well find it easy to agree: Karsh totally should have been drawn this way, with this rockstar attitude, from the beginning. So Pandor was just setting things straight.
Schala by Rat Thumb.png
"Schala"
by Rat
Time: 24 minutes
App: ShiPainter


Fantastic contribution by Rat. As the commenters suggest, once you place a character in a non-canonical situation - or, perhaps, a non-canonical hairstyle - the audience wonders how the character got there. It's sure-fire material for fan fiction!
Magus by Seris Thumb.png
"Magus"
by Seris
Time: 68 minutes
App: ShiPainter


Seris was intentionally trying to capture the physically ugly side of Magus...but we have to agree with one of the commenters: le swoon. Even at his fan art ugliest, Magus looks too much like Spock - or maybe too much like a swearing truck driver - not to love.

Is there anything Magus, or Magus artists, can do to escape the adoration of the wide Magus fan cult? Probably not.

Catch a falling star Thumb.png
"catch a falling star"
by Flash of Green
Time: 63 minutes
App: ShiPainter


A simple thumbnail can't do justice to the entirety of the piece, but it's fascinating how the viewer's attention might be drawn to this little corner so far removed from the main action. Is it due to Flash of Green's apparent use of layers or the thought that I could have been that nameless person getting blasted by Lavos on that day?
So cold Thumb.png
"So cold"
by maggiekarp
Time: 27 minutes
App: ShiPainter


The "one true pairing" that so often recurs in Maggiekarp's fanart is the secret joy of everyone who calls themselves a true Chrono fanart connoisseur. C'mon, admit it! It seems so wrong at first, but on a frigid winter day like this, it feels so right...
Flirt Thumb.png
"Flirt"
by Ayu
Time: 41 minutes
App: PaintBBS


Secondary characters so seldom get to step into the spotlight, let alone in chibi form. The concept of hair bangs casting shadows over the subject's face, and how the effect becomes more intense with distance, is really interesting to see here.
First oekaki ever Thumb.png
"First oekaki ever!!"
by Kain2311
Time: 10 minutes
App: ShiPainter Pro


Kain2311 might be in the running for "fastest Chrono Oekaki ever." Perhaps it's the timed aspect of Oekaki that really makes one appreciate the artist's skill and technique, and makes it so unique as an art form. The dramatic curvature of Magus' nose really catches the viewer's eye here.
Prophets Guile Thumb.png
"Prophet's Guile"
by x_XTacTX_x
Time: 27 minutes
App: ShiPainter


Speaking of shadows over the face, x_XTacTX_x's piece emphasizes the anonymity the Prophet's cloak gives him, in stark contrast to Magus' normal, hoodless attire. When viewing the picture in its entirety the viewer might be just a tad disturbed by the overall coffin-like effect of the Prophet's cloak.
Kaeru from Magness Thumb.png

App: ShiPainter
