*licks Finger And Holds It Up In The Air* It's May Figured I'd Go Ahead And Unearth Some Of My Old Mer/pirate

*licks finger and holds it up in the air* It's May Figured I'd go ahead and unearth some of my old mer/pirate au doodles/designs from a year(?) ago since I'm still kinda busy

my art guilty gear anji mito eeeugh my old art Edit: added in Anji's old first pass because for SOME REASON it didn't show up even tho I'm pretty sure I put it there also don't pay attention to the notes they are horrible and incorrect (I got some things wrong) the lore is they met when she accidentally pulled him in back when she was a fisherman and nearly killed him and then he just kinda hung around and mysteriously dissapeared one day and then years later she became a pirate captain and he shows up again and actually sticks around this time plus shapeshifting also his mer design is based on a flying fish in case you were curious dunno if I'll still keep with that baiken anbai

Where Soul Meets Body

Tags

my art guilty gear anji mito baiken anbai What if we touched hands what if we let our Ki mingle what if our energies intertwined together and made something entirely new Also well aware that this isn't how Ki works in GG but also it can be used for a lot of things?? So who's to say I'd imagine letting it interact with another person's would feel incredibly weird but possibly also kinda nice under the right conditions and focus might not look like it but it is I was gonna make a joke about “unprotected premarital hand-holding” but now I'm not even sure about that last part also borrowing a page from The Deer King with how the Ki looks cuz I just really liked that one scene

A brighter love

Tags

my art guilty gear anji mito baiken anbai if nobody's gonna draw them getting hitched in the year of our lord 2025 then I'll do it myself but oooooouuuugh I have mixed feelings on this one on one hand I'm not super fond of the sketch I think it could be so much better on the other hand I think this is some of my best lighting and coloring I've done and I wouldn't really be posting it otherwise also before you say anything YES I know they'd probably do a Shinto wedding but I couldn't pass up drawing Baiken in a tux pretend this is a modern au or something

my art guilty gear anji mito baiken anbai sometimes you just gotta draw your otp slow dancing I kept thinking of some of Wolf Alice's Blue Weekend songs when making this but then Snail Mail's Valentine also snuck its way in there But occasionally I think about how maybe he'd be able to let her experience the more pleasantly mundane parts of life while traveling and maybe for a little bit they can pretend that she's not out for a revenge that may eventually consume her flash forward idk how many years and now they can do whatever they want and honestly? good for them If I could get some more content of them dancing together I think I'd die happy but until then I gotta keep cooking for myself I guess

a three panel comic. Baiken is leaning against her arm, a little drunk, head tilted back and laughing brightly. Anji stares at her in a mix of surprise and fondness. the text reads "Ah, when was the last time I heard her laugh like this?"

DarkPlums but make it fluffy

my art guilty gear anji mito baiken figured I'd post something a little lighthearted today given *gestures vaguely* everything going on rn Anyways you know those videos of foxes being super excited and going “eeeeeeeeee” That's just fox Anji he is SO happy to see her Baiken is Baiken she'd be like an akita I think loyal but unbothered is anbai their official ship name? I guess it is really pulled some heavy inspo from Yogin for that first drawing so gonna try to steer away from that in the future

A drawing of XX-era Baiken. She is stark lit with dramatic shadows, holding her sword with blood soaking the tip of the blade and a few splatters on her skin. Blue butterflies surround her. She is looking right at you.
