#SaboArtCollab

[where-does-the-heart-lie]

Piece for @saboartcollab!! I redrew this sabo art because i saw it a little bit ago on a pin and i then sent it to my friends and absolutely dug into it because i do in fact think it’s hideous. But when one of the friends i sent the pin to joined the saboartcollab and saw this pic available to redraw, i knew what i had to do. And i joined in with the intent to attempt making it better. And i did that in every way imaginable in my opinion.

Design notes and thoughts:

Tried to make it look like he pulled himself off of an operating table he was strapped to and just didnt bother taking off some of the straps afterwards. I used the colors in the straps nowhere else in the design so it looked alien to him. I also in general tried to spruce him up and make his outfit a lot cooler. I put the ritz on em. I had a lot of fun with him :)

Anyway.

This official art is the absolute worst outfit ive ever seen in my life. The sea cucumber green against that pale soulless purple is gross. And then the normal blue along with it is so confusing. Why is the sleeve big on him while no other part of the jacket is big on him. Why is the bolts in his head and not his neck. What in the world is that bandage on his head doing there and no other part of his head for. Is he supposed to be frankenstein’s monster? Why is he so normal looking. Is this supposed to be a costume hes putting on? Or is he actually supposed to be the monster. Why are his hands limping so delicately. Theyre downright dainty, was he even trying to look spooky? Wtf is this background. Did they get a bunch of clip art bats and copy and pasted them everywhere on half opacity? What is this Cinderella ass barbed wire ass boarder around the image. I want to meet the artist who drew this and i either want to ask them if they were paid pennies and nickels or i want to strangle them within an inch of their life.

Thats about it though. As bad as this image of him is, the version of it that was on the pin is worse.

My piece for @saboartcollab :D

Thoughts and stuff in the readmore

So here’s the original piece I was working with!

I adore a hakama but even more I adore the tonbi cape coat thing from the taisho era so I had to draw it hehe

I ended up using this photo I found on Pinterest for outfit inspiration and rendering reference, especially in the hakama:

Pleats are kind of difficult to render when they’re a bit softer and don’t hold their shape completely, but it was a fun challenge! I ended up embellishing the outfit some with an extra blue haori layer, some more exaggerated lapels, and a hopefully suited-to-the-time-period bowler hat
