Uhhh this came to my mind and I had to get it out.
I was gonna vector this but the sketch here took all night, so another time.
I like the idea of Tig being in the role of Eriko.
Honestly, Benetar as Michel and DeeJay as Jorg I can't explain much, but Puff as Kevin and Axel as Randy just feel so perfect.
I ALMOST wanna make a whole-ass AU of this, it's really funny in my head.
I wasn't sure how to translate Michel's skirt pattern into pants, so Benatar just has Shujin plaid because I can.
Edit: Fucked around with the designs a bit.
Decided to give Benatar his tie back since sometimes he still wears it when it doesn't make much sense (I referenced the Shitty G video primarily), I'll probably tuck it behind the neck more though. Also tried having no sleeves like Michel's actual top but I did not like how it looked at all.
Tried messing around at least a little with everyone else's designs since I changed up Michel's fit so much for Benatar.
Didn't really have much ideas though besides somewhat tinting them, or at least parts of them, their normal outfit colors.
I haven't done anything different with Tig because I wound up not liking anything I attempted.
My brother misspoke the other day and said "Akachi".
So I give you... Akachi.
[No ship stuff, please.]
For the face and body/clothes I basically aligned Adachi and Akechi's heads and onion-skinned everything part by part.
Colors are roughly 50/50 between colors picked from each of them.
Hair and shading and the gradient colors I kinda just winged (though I tried to break Adachi and Akechi's hair into sections and onion-skin those, very roughly).
Way too much effort into a cursed joke edit, but a really adorable fella came out of it, actually.
I thought it would be fun to swap characters' colors around but Jesus H I should not have touched the eye colors someone please get him some black contacts I'm shaking.
They'd probably never rerelease/remake Illbleed and if they did it probably wouldn't be announced at TGA tonight, but I made this last night to be funny.
