sketchbook spam: two ways to draw maetel

[phosfate]

Clicky for bigger. Two versions of Maetel from Galaxy Express 999/Captain Harlock/Maetel Legend/Queen Emeraldas. Ink. The first modern anime I ever saw was a bootleg fansub double feature of GE 999 and Cagliostro Castle, circa 1981, very late at night in Vicki Porto's living room. I thought my head would explode from the keen.

I love Maetel. For years I wore my hair really long, cos deep inside, she was the ideal I had in my head of what a woman ought to be.

This wouldn't be the same Galaxy Express 999 as in the song by The Alfee, now would it?

No idea, but I wouldn't be surprised.

It might be worth investigating, but I'm afraid that I would fall out of love with the mystery of the song if I did that ;.;

I would imagine it would have to be, I mean how many Galaxy Express 999s do you think there are? ;)

I've never heard The Alfee's song, is it entitled GE999 or something else? I want to look it up.

The Alfee - Brave Love Galaxy Express 999

It's, to say the least, awesome. One of the best pieces of j-rock I know of. Reminds me of Kansas, with the piano etc.
