A drawing dedicated to @minarugi / @min-art-rugi 🩵

This was based on Mina's design of Ryo in Soulcalibur! (Which you should definitely check out it's so amazing!)

I really hope you like this drawing! The SC series has so much beautiful official art and it gave me so much inspiration, I'm so glad this introduced me into SC and it's art❤️

It also makes me so happy to talk about shenmue and Ryo with someone else! He definitely gives off knight vibes and Hwang and him seem really alike 😍

And of course I had to add Ren....😅 Btw I know nothing about Soulcalibur so this was made off of nothing but vibes and love XD

I definitely plan on drawing Ren and Ryo based on this pose soon cuz it's so perfect for them!

[min-art-rugi]

Again, a huge thank you for this gift ❤️ I was at loss of words when I saw the WIP and artworks as reference... :o Both my favourite characters from Soul Blade and their Shenmue reinterpretations. My heart leaped for joy and admiration!

I'm still shocked how great is Ren in Seong Mina's style! (bow in respect)

You did a great piece here! :D

Some colored in doodles from last night at 3am 🌺

Also all of the Rens are looking at Ryo lol

[min-art-rugi]

Oh my! Ryo in the surf swimsuit is irresistible 😍😍😍

I really love the beach vibes 😎🌞 And I need to go on vacation somehow 😩😭

I just wanted to draw Ren and Joy in a sukajan 🤩 Dobuita Street tourists, Ryo's probably carrying their bags or something somewhere.

A rare background from me, I took a few screenshots in game until I got something I liked then freehand traced the buildings over it.

[rice-mue]

This is so amazing and beautiful and perfect!!!!

Also Ren with a walkman is so perfect for him, i love them so much 💕😍

[min-art-rugi]

I love sukajan 🥰🥰🥰 I dressed Ryo with the blue one during most of the game in Shenmue 3 (until I got the black and gold version for final battle, nyahaha! 😁)

Nice work on the background btw. The flat design is great to underline the characters 👍

I also love your drawing style 👍

Honey and I are re-watching the Ace Attorney anime adaptation. And we realized it was released in... 2016. Which means 10 years ago! 😲

So to celebrate this accidental 10th anniversary, here's a drawing of Phoenix Wright from 2009 (how ironic that this fanart is older than the anime😅)

My Shenmue Keychains finally arrived but im at work rn aaaaaaaaaa I need then nowww

Wait for me my babies....

[rice-mue]

YAY they're home!!!

I think these look a lot better than my first attempt so I'm happy about that! (Sorry my camera is ass tho...)

[min-art-rugi]

They look so cool 🤩

Here's an old fanart of Ryo Hazuki, from the Shenmue series.

Special shout out to @rice-mue, fellow Shenmue and Ryo fan 😉 I'm very grateful for the hype you revived in me 🙏

Below, the story goes on...

There's an anecdote about the wallpaper below that I wanna share.

The drawing is indeed a creation of mine but not the wallpaper.

In 2018, I attempted to make my drawings visible via Deviantart and Pinterest. However, I'm not very familiar nor at ease with social media. This exposure - as well as failures to fulfill commissions - finally put pressure on me and I ended suppressing my accounts and all the contents.

-- 2 years ago --

One day, I typed my nickname on the browser just by curiosity and what I found blew my mind. Somebody on the Internet saved this picture before I deleted it and turn it into a wallpaper with an inspirational quote. And with due diligence, this person mentioned my user name on the art. It was such a good surprise and it still happens today that I found out some of my old art out of nowhere since I've joined Tumblr.

So here's my message: I don't know who you are anonymous web user and fellow Shenmue fan but if by any chance you see the current post, I want to thank you and I'm deeply touched that my drawing inspires you. The quote you carely chose was words I needed to hear at the time.

The fanart of Ryo on my sketchbook. For the record, I added the date of completion 13/09/2018 afterwards.

"Je cherche des marins" -- "I'm looking for sailors"

Ces images ont fait chavirer mon cœur. Il y a comme un air de déjà-vu 😏

Scenes and characters that have captured my heart. There's something oddly familiar 😏

[rice-mue]

You know...I'm gonna try making more shemue keychains, like the first batch was cute ... But I know I can do better >:D

Look at these old cuties 💕

This is so Roxas representative. The calendars on background... The 12 months and the 13th... I'm overwhelmed by such emotions...
