In this my modern au, these three are in their early 30s. They're strangers both irl and on social media, but share one relaxing online game in which, while exploring the world, they often notice already familiar avatars of each other's characters somewhere nearby, thinking 'oh, this dude is here too.'

→ I part (90's outfits)

↓ Moodboards and some headcanons ↓

Thanks to everyone who took part in the voting 🎉 Since the two options ('90s' and 'a mix of clothes belonging to different eras') scored the same number of votes, I chose to draw the 90's outfits first.

I've been thinking a lot about what these three would like to wear. For Guts and Casca, the main priority in choosing casual clothes is practicality, a cut that does not restrict movement, a minimum of accessories and comfortable shoes so as not to spend a lot of time packing before going about their business. Griffith, on the other hand, strives to look like he's on set 24/7, and must always look flawless. He's a fashion diva and likes to experiment with combining different fabrics in one total white outfit.

I am so happy to complete this little series of illustrations with Kokichi and Mai. It was a really fun practice to visualize the characters in their different ages.

[No curses au, where Mai and Kokichi are besties who have known each other since middle school. At the moment, both are 26 years old, and they work as photographers for a clothing brand owned by Choso and Sukuna, shoot lookbooks for an online store, and sometimes find themselves on the other side of the lens as models. They've a sibling dynamic, and in all the years of their friendship, neither of them has ever been in love with the other.]

Must say that up to that time I had never painted children at all, and tried to make it look good. Btw, Kokichi's favorite plush toy is a robot (unfortunately I couldn't come up with a good design for it).

the other day, I was able to find time to continue reading Berserk, which I’d been putting off for a long time, and as a person who isn't indifferent to fashion I've some outfit ideas for Guts, Casca and Griffith.

What kind of outfits would you like to see them in?

90s

(late) day 3 🩸 - interactions i wanted to see 🖤

📸 [modern au] choso is a fashion designer kokichi is a photographer and model

kokichi doesn't maintain eye contact with the camera for his own comfort, while choso, in turn, allows the camera to capture his gaze gliding through space and mysteriously half-smile.
