So you did Delilah as a lamb but what if you did Dizzy as a dragon? Hypothetically

That could work! Might be better than my other option for Dizzy, actually. I was initially gonna go with a spaniel dog cuz I thought the floppy ears could mimic her original pigtails.

update: I am using my powers for evil I just don't know how to post it when I'm done

every day I inch closer to using my powers for evil

Dizzy doodle!

Design inspired by @vantablackdraws , I love their work so much it gives me LIFE *deep breath*

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.

Be sure to give your samurai a smooch for Valentine's Day <3

every day I inch closer to using my powers for evil

Delamblah for your TL today

Bonus:

So apparently somebody posted my stuff on reddit??? Which is...wild, I'm not super mad about it, but if you're gonna repost my stuff please ask me next time ;-;

Baiken and Anji are extremely “How to Rest” by the Crane Wives coded. Like thematically, that song and Mirror of the World both share very closely related messages. It’s crazy. I’m going crazy. You can try to avoid it all you want but love will always come back. And it will hurt. But it will be worth it. Anyways how’s your day going

If I had a nickel for every time someone's told me a Crane Wives song reminded them of Baiken (and Anji to an extent) I'd have three nickels now....

edit: ran it by my friend who suggested the other two, they see the vision. (Also you are so very very valid OP I totally get where you're coming from)

Posting on main you say? You post MORE art ELSEWHERE?? 👀

I post stuff on ao3 too! There's a few things on there that I haven't really shared on here yet for uh...reasons.

Concept I just wanted to throw out there for anybody to chew on: AnBai and ChippAnswer double date.

just wanted to say i keep coming back to the art you drew of frederick and smiling....every detail in it is perfect. chefs kiss. thats my freddie!!! love him and ur art

Truly don't know how to convey how flattered I am, thank you so much!! He's just a big ol grump living his new life :D

Hi. I really like your art style, I was wondering if you're doing commissions right now?

Unfortunately I'm not, sorry! But that may change in the future!

just a Fredrick

Fam, you need to kill the part of you that cringes. The fanart is objectively good. I personally enjoy it.

Aaaaaaaah unfortunately that's something I still struggle deeply with to this day. Especially right now (sorta going through a bit of a crisis with my art). I know I shouldn't really care that much about what people think about my work, but I do! A lot! It sucks! Especially when it's work of something I love a lot and do for fun. It's a constant thought of "how am I being perceived by these people right now, how will I be if I post this-" etc etc., while also feeling like I'm not letting myself have fun like I want to because "I'm doing it wrong". It's...a lot. But genuinely, seeing how much people enjoy my work, even my dumb stuff, it does make me feel better about what I want to share. Hopefully I can overcome that part that cringes a little more in the future and just, focus on the fun.

Sorry for posting this on main, it will happen again-

Not a request, just wanted to know, do you like A.B.A?

I think A.B.A's pretty neat, yeah!

can you draw millia and/or elphelt… girlfriends yk

"Take a look at my girlfriend~"

Forgive me, but today I want to ask a provocative question (

Who is your least favorite character in guilty gear? Why?

Iiiiiiii don't really have anybody in the cast I like the least off the top of my head? And the only one I can think of, I don't think I wanna say...

I love your Draconic Dizzy a lot!!! Thank you for drawing her!!!!

Aaaaaaah thank you so much! I'm so flattered by how many people enjoy her you have no idea

@shinnamoon still gotta figure out how I wanna draw him, but here ya go!

HI WHAT BRUSHES DO U USE

I NEED TO KNOW PLEASE

I use these brush packs on Procreate! Trisketched Ink Brushes (I usually use the OG Inker)

Awk Brush Set (I use the Ballpoint brush in a lot of my work, but sometimes I use the other ones too if I wanna switch it up)

Tuhis 2023 (If you're looking for a lot of textured brushes this is perfect for that. I use Helvi Wash for a more watercolor look and Vino Drybrush for digital painting along with some other ones)

And I also use Pskibobby's Sketch pack brushes for more of a pencil look, although I can't really find a link for it anywhere anymore (if anyone finds it lemme know) All of these are free!

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

so how are we feeling about that new Dual Rulers trailer

i noticed you post your art on ao3 occasionally and I’m curious if you have any GG fic recommendations? I like the majority of the cast so idc who it’s about, just curious if you’ve got any :3

I'm going to be completely honest with you here, I may not be the best person to ask for GG fic recs... because I mainly came here for one pairing and I don't really dabble much outside of that, and I'm also a bit more picky with this fandom than with others. That being said, off the top of my head I think some fics I've enjoyed reading so far have been:

Mundane & Lazy Life by somewheresometimewatching, which is a series of introspective stories of the Bedfamily's lives after Strive. I really enjoy how much thought the author's put into how they'd think and how they'd interact, it feels like a nice mix between being somewhat realistic but also true to the characters themselves. It's got a lot of heart put into it, so I'd highly recommend it if you want more bedfam content

Swipes of Sword and Fan by Rex101111, which is a drabble collection about Anji and Baiken post XX when they started traveling together. I've been reading (and re-reading and re-re-reading-) this since I first got into this fandom and went on ao3 only to be faced with like 20 fanfics-, and it's really played a hand in how I view them and their deliciously complicated relationship. They've also written some other AnBai and GG fanfics that are just as good and definitely worth checking out.

No One Like You... by Lohan3xists, which is a pretty good (and...also the only one on ao3) TestaNago fic. Basic premise is, they go on a date, but I think it manages to hit all the points of why I like them. It's sweet and playful, but also explores how they move on and live life after such a serious thing happened to them (Happy Chaos and Justice). It's a somewhat short but overall sweet read.

But I'd say just poke around a bit, and feel free riffle through my bookmarks if you wanna! There's plenty of fics out there that I haven't mentioned that are still worth checking out, even if a lot of them are kinda short. Hope that helps!

SHIT IM TWO DAYS LATE WHOOPS!!! REQUESTS?? FROM MY FAVORITE GUILTY GEAR ARTISR??? on my hands and knees begging for the smallest doodle of Chaos and Daryl if you have the time

(fun story: I spent months upon months thinking I was missing an image of the one drawing you did of them because ao3 loves being weird with pictures for me, only for you to post it here on tumblr and I find out I missed nothing boy was that a whirlwind of emotions)

(I'm so sorry I thought this was funny)

@kostecko27 Anji leave him alone...

If your requests are still open, could you draw Libraria?

bada bing bada boom

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)

i made an anbai playlist a bit ago!! thought you might want to see it :) its rlly short and also youd have to hear me out for a few of them LMAO

This really did feel like a trip down memory lane with some of these songs (in a good way!) But thank you so much! It was really fun to listen to, I'm deeeeefinitely seeing the vision for most of them. I think the only one I'd have to hear you out on would be "I'm like a lawyer" by Fallout Boy
