Did the Phighting Phan canon event of drawing all the Phighters in my style 🫡
(horrible timing now that a good chunk is being rewritten but we ball!!)
Whole drawing and yap about how I think below!
The Yap
Sword is shown to be just a tad childish, perhaps awkward at times but he got the spirit. (Plus he’s literally the first Phighter someone meets when playing the game, so I wanted to give a feel of “beginner-ness”?) I believe the Togore eyes encapsulates that PERFECTLY
From the canon design (before and after the redesign), I could never really see Skate as a gang leader UNTIL I saw him as a stereotypical frat guy with the new design. I have to remind myself to see him in that light, but I still think he acts (and looks) like such.
BIOGRAFT!! BIOGRAFT!! LOVE DRAWING ROBOT MECH ARMOR!! I’ve had a lot of content of just me figuring this killing machine, and I do really like its silly yet serious robot killer design. Changed some stuff for here but BIOGRAFT MY NONBINARY BINARY THE CHARACTER (their only characterization is that it’s a robot that hates and kills you and is made to do that I cannot defend any angsty art or any art that that has them experiencing I’ve made of them) EVER!!
Ngl I think my katana design’s a bit bland in comparison to some of the others I’ve seen. Stuck a bit too closely to the model, but I tried to make it cool :}
IMPRACTICAL FANTASY ARMOR I LOVE IMPRACTICAL FANTASY ARMOR I LOVE ADDING AND ADDING AND ADDING AND (gets to the impractically large fantasy weapon) oh I hate this. (Jokes aside I actually loved designing the design for Ban Hammer, especially the armor but hated drawing the actual weapon.) I might actually draw him more now that I realize how fun of a character he is to draw.
Rocket the person ever :} I think I made the jacket a bit too flowy but I love flowy jackets so he has that. Just a wonderful design to draw, love him very much.
Sling! I know that his redesign is just above the horizon, but I did try combining his current design with the elements of the new design from new art. I know a bunch of the new art portrays him as more serious, but I think he deserves to be silly now and then.
I actually don’t like drawing stiff clothing, and Hyperlaser just HAS stiff clothing AND an impractical weapon design. But then i rendered him and then i was fine :}
Again, like with Sling, his redesign is literally above the horizon, so I didn’t want to do too much with him right now. Tried combing both aspects but it didn’t turn out as good. (And you can tell I didn’t want to deal with the shoes.) So yeah, Shuri’s alright. (Also Bowl Cut Unhooded Shuri is inspired by Mob Pscyho.)
SCYTHE!! She already has a very detailed design, don’t know how I could add onto it. VERY cool robot arm, tho.
THE MED OF THE KIT!! I drew his frame quite small. He seems like that kind of guy who doesn’t hold himself very high, doesn’t stand himself very tall, and isn’t present with a mind that’s always elsewhere. So yeah :}
I REALLY wanted to do Boombox justice for of the few times I actually drew him. Had to search up what those genuine smiles when your eye squish together are called. (Unsure if he actually knows about his visor doing that since he can’t actually see his visor. The general public doesn’t know, and only a few notice.) Anyways, he was a delight to draw and render :D
The Sub of the Space. People say he’d bald. Some give him hair. What if he was balding, holding onto the greatness of his past yet it slipping away from him through the thinning of the hair. That’s a thing I considered when drawing him. Very maniac man.
Like with the previous Thieves’ Den characters, her redesign is, too, just right there, but I actually love her so much. Tried combing the previous with the new (and adding an other aspects) when creating my design! The tattered brown clothes beneath are meant to show more of that wandering/exiled part.
And finally the COIL! Not much I can actually add to him, just Coil being smug.
This was a lot. I know my designs aren’t exactly the most out there, but I just want to draw how I see them. Thanks for reading!
