And no matter how shitty life is beyond that there is a future you see after the misery
my self indulgent vodka art I did for the vgen contest this one has more or a meaning to it as it matches with my mentality state at the time I was doing it. I'll talk more undercut
Mixed mixed media - photography , color pencil + papper craft
I'm gonna open this up with : Look I've never checked unamusume I was suggested to draw the char by my omfie cus I asked and I did. People liked it on the servers I posted it so I think it will be fine. This piece has inspo from sul4 's general pieces.
Anyways as you might guess it's been quite a rollercoaster this year emotionally so I really needed idk Love? Motivation? Will? Goal? Worth?
And now I watch the sun go down in the most empty way ever. At last I knew it I knew after all that I'll be pure happy at that end. I was , I guess I still am but for today the last school day of this shitty last year was empty. Just how I like it
It may make 0 sense to you but I'm a very complicated person to myself maybe it's better that way. You are a person on a screen I need to entertain and feed. This is a contest between many more better and nuanced artists than I who Are way better. I will lose have an episode and continue following my no sensible goals. I will continue living this life.
I don't know if Vodka shares any of this but. Hey you can just say she's a place holder. You wouldn't like it and I would lessen my chances if you don't recognize this
she's in a rough paintover style it's faster to do shit that way
Kumada Kumada Kumada Kumada. I really want to give her special attention as she absolutely deserves to hunt the narrative or actually me. Starting off her face isn't changed from the original other than the dilated pupils which is smth I add to some characters. (My Daiki also haves dilated pupils Ik. Ig dilated pupils is trully my loveble design quirks eh? Damn remember when the one who shall not be named said that about the designs?) Most important I gave her a haircut she haves a Celestia situation for the pigtails. The clips of them selfes are hidden by the accessories you see which I keept the same. I want with a more rock style for her. And have her handmade earrings (which are made with beeds look I think we designers should be investors to) took oguras idea of collar to give it to Kumada.keept her animal accept is attached to the chain whom is attached to the pants. Jacket is a different material more denim with riffled parts and decor stones. (For I am.non native :P) Gloves to have those. She wears shoes with thicker down side . Gives her a little more height. The bat is sprayed on and is supposed to give a street art tone . Anything else? Tbh I'm sorta off with explaining as if it doesn't make sense as you see just the picture mainly but I'll continue to to keep up a full format.
Body notes: she's still short but she's regular in body , she haves a round face and a big of a sharp nose.
(details on both character and design notes below sorry that I'm late this bitchass been crashing my ibis on my limbus running phone it's crazy)
Not that deep just writings or smth. Still Human trafficking is an issue in today's world that we can't see. The only genuine advice I have is please be careful regarding jobs always make sure that there is a work document for the job you are going to be working.
Ikeda daiki of course he had to be soon. Starting off with a more brighter red for the hair to which I keept the same. I've changed his eye shape switching from squares to ovals. Yes those lines of eyelashes are very important. Continuing on he is wearing his dad's clothes I don't remember If Ikeda did that or his were given to but here it's more clear he is wearing something that's way more oversized the only way it fits is due to the stretchy material used at the top of the pants and end on sleeves. I realized that I also mistakes yokoi and Ikedas shoes to which Ikeda OFC will have the more expensive ones!! Lastly the apron it's an apron with brushes he haves a limited set of clothes eitherway. Good for holding shit.
Body notes: unhealthy amount of skinny,a little short, haves a long chin
Now here goes the deep waters of ocification not that deep just some things I've added or changed more
Ikeda daiki is half Balkan half Japanese it's not present in the design as he himself hides that and prefers to do so. With that his views on Mathias change he still finds him interesting but he wouldn't go that far probably just tell Tei that he knows him. Mathias already had done the connections however and still asks Ogura to save them.
Back on track however Ikeda hides his identity rather than embracing to both avoid discrimination and useless talk and pity. His Dad already is xenophobic towards anyone non jp. By Ikeda feeling like a target as well he wouldn't say so just because he is his product....
...
Ikedas mother has gotten herself in that mess long ago. She has been born in an incredibly poor family making her want in desperation as well to better her live . She desided to do an impulsive move and move to Japan after the first job opportunity she got from a neighbor. She didn't care if she had documents or not she wanted it so she moved and end up as a prostitute in before pretext of being an waitress......later she had end up pregnant from one of her bosses for a while she could take a break from it during pregnancy and later on taking care of ikeda until he was 5 and was forbidden from seeing him again. Her location is unknown but she's outside of Kobe . The only thing Ikeda haves of her is a stuffed toy that she bought him. Regular teddy bear that became his comfort in worst times (kimono gets replaced with it comfort over filth) he wants to escape and get his mom out of this mess someday. In a way by being an art theft he managed to be saving in secret.
Ikedas overall still the same he is just some things I've changed.
Ikedas bonus is an afterlife version that I'll talk about in the doc when it gets out.
4/16 NISHIGUCHI MITSUKO (i jollyfied the ref details bellow)
Starting off with a brighter shorter slightly wavy hair and some facial changes here and there. I've keept her onionisms but I made it have a purpose in tieing her front hair to not get in the way I also keep her sleeves but her buttonup is diffrent from her top general fit A corset split into 2 parts based of a chefs fit but didn't want for it to be confused with the sleeves so I added diffrent color. She wears a gem it's a pin that is removable (it's not like professional professional yk) . On top an apron based on pop art. Bubble skirt and end up with some neat shoes and pop arty leggings.
Other notes (not that deep ) the ocification whatever
This is overall for Nishiguchi you can see what I'm explaining.
Body notes: clear split chin, tiny eyebrows, regular in structure
For Nishiguchi I made her mixed half Romani half jp. Her Romani side is from her mom who had lived in Italy before meeting nishis dad. Her family has long had several restaurants there in which they had meet. (Her mom with her nationality due to their patriarchal beliefs they have has been in a similar situation as Ouno. Later on he leaves her and she is seen as disgrace by her family (if the husband leaves you that means it's always the wife's fault)) So she has been mainly just working at one of the 2 locations they have. She meets Nishis dad there and eventually they fall in love later on marring him and moving to jp opening her own restaurant there (again family restaurant separative from the one from her household, I was thinking for the before one to be a more general while this one is pizzaria to be outstanding, yet close to where she had lived beforehand) Later it becomes a popular place for both the ones living in and tourists alike. Nishis dad is where her connections to the mafia are from. As for the mafia I have well nothing atm.
Nishiguchi is quite close to her mom similarly as to how usually a daughter would be. Her mom doesn't have those expectations of her but her latter family do. In the death game Nishi starts talking to Ouno to. Since Yokoi isn't someone to pry Nishi on the other hand is
