louiseluxHakkai doesn't smile all the time. In fact, in volume four he gets to wear various expressions of insanity, hatred and misery. Some very scary expressions, all in all, and I think he smiles the least out of all nine volumes.
The hands - just before Gojyo sneaks up on him. I wonder why Hakkai can be snuck up on so easily- Goku does it too, when he draws Hakkai's lifeline on. Maybe it's something to do with the lack of a right eye. It's a fake eye, so why does he need to wear a monocle? Let's address the monocle more fully (because it's obviously a matter of world shattering importance)- is it just Minkura's whim? Why not get the glass fixed? Sometimes it's circular, other times it looks more like one half of an old pair of Sanzo's reading glasses. How does it stay on his nose?
Yowzah. That is all.
The same expression as the picture below, yet lacking the same craziness as Gonou, which is fitting because this is Hakkai, the balanced rational one. Er.
Gonou's flat, crazy stare at the moment he loses it with the villagers. I love the glint of white in his eye - it bring the whole drawing alive. Minekura's faces are so expressive and sometimes in very subtle ways - I find myself peering at things thinking, just what has she done there?
I love this - look at the way streaks of blood are in the same place as Gojyo's scars, and the way in which they echo Kougaiji's markings too.
Mmm, raw hate.
Hakkai playing at being Chin Yisou's devil doll. He pretends very well to be incredibly creepy, doesn't he? Ulp.
I imagine the the people who get to see this particular expression are never very happy about it afterwards. Sly Hakkai - he pulls this face again in vol 9, when he manipulates Sanzo into playing Mahjong.
As he watches Chin Yisou disintegrate - he doesn't look relieved or triumphant, but very sad and tired.
And finally... I lied. He is smiling here, but I think we needed a break from the crazy. And also I had to put it in because I think he's got the sweetest expression on his face and it's all aimed at Gojyo.

Date: 2004-12-03 08:38 pm (UTC)Somebody wrote a great scene once where he's so damn tired and he put it down and now he can't find it and he really needs to attach it--superglue? No, how would he wash his hair? How does Goku wash his hair? Tiny screws, maybe... (was good)
I think I can answer the round/oddshape question though (only at this hour does one seriously answer totally rhetorical questions): the frame gets in the way of drawing the eye, and the eye takes precedence. It's like how sometimes you can see eyes and eyebrows through hair.
Lovely selection. (loves v4) Also worthy of note is ohsocasual way Gojyo explains how he's an ass, not meeting Hakkai's eyes once.

Hee! Yes, that's lovely. I also like the bit where Gojyo suddenly speeds off to catch up with Hakkai and Sanzo, after Goku tells him what Hakkai said about having someone to trust.
