Suzumiya Haruhi no Otaku

So this was originally meant to be a submission for the Secret Santa event of .
I had found myself some spare time prior to the festive season, so I thought I could finish a piece on someone's wishlist in time for the deadline.
Unfortunantely, I ultimately had no access to a scanner, so I was forced to postpone this picture, since I left to visit family for a week.
I eventually got this picture scanned, but there wasn't much incentive to work on it then, since I had better ideas for artwork.
Hence why it comes this late. Still better late than never I guess.

This particular work was based on the wishlist of . One of the items on that list was a picture of Haruhi or Tsuruya as otaku. Well, I kind of liked that idea, so I set to work on that and this is the result.

Despite being an otaku (I'm even in a club full of otakus at the university at which I am now on exchange with) I was not quite sure how could I portray these two as stereotypical otaku. So I just took elements of what I thought would be in Konata's room.

The basic premise is that Haruhi and Tsuruya are fans of the ultimate otaku anime series; Lucky Star. So we have a Lucky Star poster on the wall, some cosplay outfits, a choco cornet to eat, a children's card game, a cutesy pillow and of course a Lucky Star prop mascot, the creator himself.

For those of you unable to read Japanese, allow me translate the text in the picture:

Haruhi: Waaah, Awesome! It's the new volume of Lucky Star.
Tsuruya: Ehhh, seriously?! That is really megas nyoro-n!

So FrigginGodess, I hope this can at least make you chuckle a bit. Sorry it is due so late, but then again you weren't really anticipating this anyway I guess.
