I'd just like to request a Dizzy doing or wearing whatever you feel like. As a dragon girl your dragon Dizzy makes me happy :)

coincidentally @igneous-croc also asked for a Dizzy, so two birds with one stone!

I would love to see Bedman (without the question mark) in your style! Bonus if he's with Delilah.

And again, love your stuff! ❤️

Hope I captured his smug bastard energy well enough!

Hello, vantablackdraws! Do you have any other favorite pairs from Guilty Gear or other works? if it's not difficult for you, can you tell us about them and how you liked them? How do you see the dynamics between these characters?

That's certainly a tall order of an ask my friend... well let's see, for Guilty Gear pairings, I also like:

Chaos and Daryl: I think Daryl can sorta play at his level and therefore possibly beat him at his own game so to speak. I mean he had Chaos convinced that he was a coffee addict only to be revealed he didn't like coffee. I think Chaos would find him interesting. Plus that line "It's so boring here, I shoulda kept Daryl at least." hmmmmmmmmm

Chipp and Answer: Changing Answer's life for the better and from a situation he was similarly in before aside, Chipp is also kind of a dumbass (a very competent one, mind you, but still). And Answer having the energy of "I would literally kill for you but Jesus Christ you drive me insane-" is funny to me. You got a lot of potential for tender/more serious moments as well as some comedy in there.

Axl and I-No: I don't really know a lot about them outside of Strive and some other lore but every time I think about them I get kinda sad, because it feels like Sol and Jack-o except if it doesn't work out. Like the whole "do you love me for who I am, or because I remind you of someone you used to love?" dilemma (plus I-No's whole doomed situation adding an extra pinch of angst-)

Nagoryuki and Testament: Tbh I'm unsure on whether I like this one romantically or more platonically, maybe I'll just keep it vague because I like that. But I think they have a lot of potential based on their arcade interactions and their similar history. Testament understands what it's like to be controlled against your will, or as they (roughly) put it, "I know what it's like to carry yourself like some sort of demon". I think they could also bring out Nago's more lighthearted and playful side (the dad jokes), maybe they could drink tea and go on long walks, just take time to appreciate life again together as two semi-immortal(?) beings. I think that would be nice.

Aaaand the other ships I also like are KyDizzy, RoboVenom, Mayburi, JohnnyTess, SolJacko, and AbaCelsus. They're just nice <3

Doodled Delilah during class today

@grymmdark Absolutely.

hello!!! I love AnBai and your work with all my heart! This is exactly how I saw them, but I couldn't implement them! THANKS FOR THAT!!

I recently realized that AnBai really remind me of the characters from Lilo & Stitch by David Kawena and Nani Pelekai. It seems to me that there is a similar dynamic in their relationship (only their homeland has not been destroyed). What do you think?

Honest to god I have genuinely thought about doing some Lilo and Stitch stuff for them, although it was mainly in the context of Baiken and Delilah as Nani and Lilo (Manager Vampire, record player, that sorta thing) But now that you mention it, Anji as David does make a lot of sense. I think if they were in a more modern world he'd probably go out of his way to make sure she had opportunities for jobs, get her to take breaks when needed, just generally be there for support without asking much in return... ...except for maybe one date, if she's up for it.

Reason:

They're actually really good together and i can't think of a good reason but IM SO JEALOUS OF HIM I CAN'T STAND IT.

Throwing this one out there too cuz I forgot I had it

ok I forgot polls were a thing soooo

if I could make an anbai ship week happen at some point I think that would be a huge personal accomplishment

Happy New Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaar (and birthday, Anji)

i come bearing more gifts!

this one has been circling around in my head as a song for baiken for SO long, something about the anger and desperation in her voice just fits her perfectly imo

what do you think?

I can definitely see it, looking at the lyrics you can sorta see that "I'm gonna do this even if it kills me" attitude she had throughout most of the series. Holding onto something that's destroying her so to speak, and maybe looking back on it when she's changed (although I feel like this interpretation leans a little more sad? But then again giving up something you've clung onto for so long is never really easy)

https://youtu.be/KX4i0T4Jy3Q?si=OQnGvnsgV4Kxnytq what are your thoughts on this song as an anbai song? i think it fits :3

First off, the song absolutely slaps Second off, I can deeefinietly see this being an AnBai song. I think the intro/first verse reminds me of their whole...breakup? situation before Xrd. How did they part ways? Did he leave? Did he want to leave?? Does she think it's all just a game to him? (ouch) Plus his devotion and infatuation, how he doesn't want to lose her, how close they are yet how he doesn't really reveal everything he's thinking, they do indeed got history and also got mystery

I would like to let everyone know that Delilah wearing Baiken's jacket is very important to me and I will also be doing more of it in the future

First snow (Happy Holidays!)

that's honestly pretty valid! I can definitely see that (his face is kinda round-ish for a fox) Initially, I decided to go for a fox with Anji because of their known trickster imagery with the Kitsune (plus their loyalty!) along with their shapeshifting abilities too (plus a tiny fox getting up to no good with a big wolf just barely tolerating it is kinda fun in concept to me :D)

More 'o these two

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.

Ok three questions

How'd you get into guilty gear?

Favorite guilty gear characters outside of anbai

And any other fandoms you're especially passionate about?

Friend of mine had been playing the game for a bit, occasionally he'd talk about some of the characters during our group calls, slowly gained more interest as time went on, found out about Baiken and everything sorta went downhill from there.

Kinda hard to say? I'm horrible at picking other favorites tbh, I think a lot of the cast is pretty fun. Maybe Delilah?

aahaaaaaaa uuuuuuh lemme see, off the top of my head I like: - promare (and just a lot of Studio Trigger in general) - arcane - Dandadan - MP100 - Alien Stage - Dorohedoro - Mad Max - Star Wars Visions (very specific I know) - a lot of other stuff

Dizzy dress scribble

Testament - Guilty Gear 1st Gig Artbook

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!!

*taps mic* Dizzy with dragon horns

Hello, I just wanted to say that 1. Your art is so good, and 2. I've got that Wolf Alice song stuck in my head now lol. It really is an Anbai song and also peak

hehehehe yeeeeeesssss perfect! (Also realizing I never linked the other two songs I was thinking about, but if you want them they're The Last Man on Earth and No Hard Feelings)

Got worried there was someone reposting your art on ao3 but then I looked at the username lmao

While I'm here though, just wanna say that I love your art! Your style is definitely in my top 10 for favorites. Please continue to be your amazing self and keep promoting the anbai agenda ❤️

*wheeze* yep that's me! Don't worry about it

But thank you so much! I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I want from my style? But I think I'm slowly getting there, just sorta taking bits and pieces from here and there, but mostly trying to just have fun with the process of making something I really want, y'know?

I'll keep trying my best! Having relatively small-ish amount of the content you desperately crave on this side of the fandom is a real motivator for creativity, huh?

Nice while it lasted

Delicious Things

can you please tag your art as ship 🙏

I-I already do??

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.

WIP I'm abandoning but I figured I'd share it here
