Just Gonna...leave This Here....

help cuz idk how to tell to normal people that I like Guilty Gear except I don't really play the game I'm just in it for the wackass lore and not even the lore for the main characters it's the lore for two and a half side characters one of which they've probably never even heard of and the other one who is WAY more popular because she's the fan service character and either I risk judgement or them bringing up her massive rack every five minutes while I try to talk about them. I'm going to throw myself into the ocean

I swear to god I really just decided to mess around with the layering modes and got a version of this that looks so much better I'm gonna go crawl under a rock and wither away

anyways alt versions plus a few tweaks:

Being delusional again

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)

that small, fluttery feeling

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.

If you’re done doing requests that’s fine I loved all of the art. If not then could you draw Ramlethal, please and thank you

Girl just wants to eat her burger in PEACE

ok but the fact that I was literally thinking about this whole thing earlier today- what are you, a mind reader? (I kid I kid)

I do really like the concept of Baiken being somewhere on the ace spectrum, cuz I always appreciate ace headcanons gimmie more of them, but then I was also thinking about how trauma would possibly play a part in her relationships too, and maybe that's another reason why she doesn't really bother with romance all that much. Can't get hurt if you don't get attached, maybe she doesn't see it as something worth her while with revenge at the end of the line, all that stuff.

But I think that with Anji it's interesting, because in essence, he really does love her. Doesn't even have to be in a romantic way, he truly cares about her. He wants to see her prosper and do well for herself, he wants her to live. I don't even think he'd care that much if she didn't want him back, just as long as he can be by her side or at least make sure she's doing alright. I think that kind of love in and of itself is just as valuable too.

real sleepy hours

bonuses:

Welp-

That one kiss meme but it's them

Drawing Baiken covered in blood isn't enough I need it to be even messier, throw in some dirt too, make it look like she's clawed through the worst day ever and spat in the face of god.
