art study w those two

the thing with romance for me is that you need to convince me through behavior and dialogue that the characters enjoy spending time with each other and seek each other out. even with enemies to lovers a foundation of mutual respect goes a long way. you can be like "he's the youngest ever general of the dragon slaying guild and I'm secretly a dragon, but he's the best swordsman I've ever fought and our sparring matches are the only thing that make me feel alive ever since my family was killed." if he implies something similar then bam, you have a reason for the two of them to hang out even though one of them knows it's dangerous. you can't be like "he's a dragon slayer and he's mean to me all the time but the flex of his arms when he swings his sword is just too sexy." it does not matter how many times you have your protagonist say "I shouldn't be drawn to him... but I am" if you never show a real moment of connection between them that draws them together

Can I say something actually

I think that a Lot of people are unwilling to interact with Bloodborne As gothic horror, be it because of the way that term is getting diluted, or because people dont want to be uncomfortable. Bloodborne has always been less so about the horror of scary monster and moreso about the horrors of systemic abuse & society, and ive always seen people treat it the same way as they are treating the term gothic horror lately (aka using it for aesthetics and convincing themselves that it was never about abuse and dark topics).

I think you see that directly in the way so many people bend over backwards to say gehrmans comments cant be very clearly read as sexual and abusive. You see it in the woobification of laurence and the healing church as "people who wanted to do good", victims of circumstances and nothing more. You see it in the way people skirt around the topic of what happens to arianna (unless its to make disrespectful jokes about it) and straight up ignore her (unless its to go wow bloodborne is so woke theres a sex worker in it). You see it in the way people also dont think about annalise, about all the ways sexual abuse can be inferred from many events and topics in the game.

Which isnt to say bloodborne is just about sexual abuse obviously, thats really reductive, what i mean is that its missing the point to bar off that topic "because its uncomfortable", when bloodborne is so heavily taking from gothic horror and that is what that genre has always been about. People are relatively more willing to talk a bit about bloodborne and fascism lately, but only in vague terms, never about the specifics of what a fascist system entails and upholds. Talking about dark topics doesnt mean you inherently have fun doing so and enjoy them, it just means giving them the respect they deserve instead of pretending they dont exist and arent related to fascism at all. Its all "war crimes" until you ask people what falls under the definition of war crime.

Also when I talk about abuse I mean this on a very broad scale, it infuriates me that most of the few people i see talking about those themes in bb do so with an angle of "wow game about the horror of womanhood and periods and pregnancy" and are just overt transmisogynists. We badly need to be able to talk about those topics without equating sexual abuse to "cisgender womanhood". Yes bloodborne talks about sexual abuse and forced pregnancy. No that doesnt mean its "about the horrors of womanhood". Bloodborne is not about "womanhood", bloodborne is (in a way) about systemic misogyny and all of its facets. Thats completely different

Planning this to be a huge ass piece. This isn't the final sketch, but I need to start somewhere. I'm going to go all out in the name of practice (And to get back in the groove of actual drawing instead of only doodling).

Mandalas, colorful patterns, small and large. Just detail and more detail on top. Honestly, I' am making this to both challenge myself to draw anime and further practice drawing butt loads of tiny details.

And also, of course, out of my eternal love for Galiar's AU and literally everything else she draws and writes. Go follow her right now (+18 only) or I will find you and hide in your closet.

Progress, nowhere near done yet. Revamped the sketch, now it flows all together better!

I finished the 'Light" vision outline and made a map of the flow of vision colors that will pour out of it it, now on to the main character outline.

live fast, kiss demons and take them out on dates. or in Amaimon's case; a cookie date.

(The sona in the right corner belongs to @galair, with her vampire boyfriend Kaname Kuran from Vampire Knight.)
