Jinbe's Marineford Scars

Sorry if the blood/gore is a bit much for some.

I draw Jinbe so much you'd think he was my only favorite character in One Piece. He's just the the most fun to draw. I have been doodling Luffy in my sketch book though, I think making these fan arts are helping me find a drawing style for humans that I can draw naturally. I need to draw humans more!

These are sketches of what I think Jinbe's scar might look like after the battle at Marineford. Luffy's scar gets all the focus because of the fact he's the main character, that it was on top of a mountain of other injuries and trauma he received during the story arch, and the conclusion of the war and the effect it had on him (being non specific just in case it's still a spoiler for some people?), but I really wish Oda would show us Jinbe's scar. I mean, the only reason Luffy has that scar at all is because the attack went THROUGH Jinbe. How is Jinbe even alive? Looking at where he was hit, had to have lost several ribs, parts of his guts, and probably even part of his right lung. How does an injury like that even heal? It has to be like a crater. Either way, the sun on his chest isn’t the only star burst on his body anymore.

Looking at these again, I can see where I could have drawn him better, but considering these were supposed to be fast sketches and I didn't use any actual human reference, I'm happy with them. I tried to draw him muscular/built but also fat at the same time.
