Saw This Comment And Got Inspired

I sent a similar ask to another Anbai fan a while back, and I think you'd get a kick out of it too: I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li is an Anbai song 100%

I've actually had that song in my likes playlist for a while now! I never really considered it before, but I can see the first verse being from Anji's POV now that I think about it. Also the following motif that's prevalent in their relationship, following her no matter what path she takes perhaps.

Hii, i dunno if you actually care about this but i have a silly Baiken hc

So, yknow how she had ginger-ish hair in the first guilty gear game? Well, i have the hc that after that game she started to dye her hair pink for some reason that i can't actually think of

So i draw her hair pink but with ginger roots

Also, i love your art, it's so very gorgeous!!!

Honestly I think it would be interesting if she just did it purely because she wanted to/thought it looked cool. That might not fit exactly since in canon she seems like a very practical character and would probably actually view it as a waste of time, but maybe it's like a nice thing or ritual she does for herself every once in a while. It's probably a lot easier to dye your hair pink/red with some extra help (Anji) too.

Asking because I'm curious and also because I feel like I've exhausted my usual options, but what are some fic recs from y'all? I wanna see if I've missed anything or if there's just one you really like.

i love your posts so much please don't get struck down by lightning

I make no promises

HII I LOVE UR ART!!!!

are there specific things u keep in mind when doing lineart? im trying to improve in that field n ur lines r just SO CRISP ✨✨✨

YAAAAAAAY LINEART QUESTION!

Don't know how well I'll be at explaining this since it's kind of become second nature to me, but usually I try to vary my line weights and do a lot of more gestural line strokes? If I want something more thinner/delicate I try to go for a more lighter touch, and vice versa if I want a more thicker line, yada yada all that stuff. But even if you use a brush that isn't really affected by pressure and stays the same, I'd overall recommend being loose and confident with your strokes, even if they're just laying down straight lines. Don't think too much, just go with the flow, try not to be too rigid, that whole thing. (also stabilization is your friend! Don't be afraid to mess with it however you want)

I also take a lot of inspiration from artists like Ulysse Malassagne or Matias Bergara who have a very rough and loose lineart style as well (although their lineart is a bit more thinner than what I usually do, and they also have the benefit of using a traditional brush pen)

But if you look closely enough you can see where they keeps a lighter touch for small details vs where they add just a liiiittle more pressure for that line variation, and how overall loose it is.

It's more obvious in La Cachette's animation lineart too

TLDR: Keep it loose and gestural, don't be afraid to vary or break it up here and there, sometimes I go over some lines to make it thicker just because it looks more interesting to me, and experiment! Think about an artist you like, do a study on how they do their lineart, try a new brush pen and just scribble on the canvas, fool around with settings and brushes you've never tried before, just try to have fun with it. I've found that sometimes, mindless nonsense doodling can produce some of the best art you've ever made.

Not a question, but freaking love your Anbai Art (and your artstyle in general) please never stop

Don't got any plans to any time soon :D Thank you!!

Delicious Things

That one kiss meme but it's them

do you a favourite bit of official anji or baiken art?

I like this one from Λ Core! They're just chillin', he's got a bird, and she's got that small smile looking at him.

OH SHIT IS IT REQUEST TIME?? okay cool cool hey, if you got the time for it maybe Baiken and Dizzy hanging out? big hc of mine that they would be really good friends

They're havin' a girl's night (getting wasted and talking about their lives)
