Nayuta? Did you go monochrome?

I'm so sorry, Suishinshi, but you look almost exactly like this, just less colorful...

Old Art #1

Yes, this is meant to be Honebami Toushirou (Touken Ranbu) in Pastel Goth. Plus, it's old art back when I haven't used IbisPaint X a lot and didn't developt my art style properly btw. Might be redrawing in the future, but hopefully if I got interested for Touken Ranbu back. 😭 Originally made on July 9th, 2022 But hey! Did you know that I used to have Touken Ranbu phase back in 2019-2022? The game used to have official English server until shutdown and Japanese server (which is original) is region locked btw.. :(

ok because i have severe brain worms i decided to look up hijikata's sword to see how accurately it was depicted between the two pieces of media i am currently consuming that happen to include the oni no fukucho himself 👍

so it was believed that for the majority of his career in the shinsengumi hijikata wielded a sword called izuminokami kanesada

these images are from the hijikata toshizo museum in his hometown of hino. unfortunately the lighting isn't great for getting a look at the details on the tsuba but this replica sword gives us a better view

(we're just going to trust that it's accurate 🚶‍♂️)

now if you look you look up izuminokami kanesada you will get nothing but touken ranbu so i figure i might was well include that guy

this is actually a pretty accurate representation of the sword. it has the white ray skin handle with black wrappings and sageo cord and the shape and design of the tsuba is identical. even the design of the kojiri is the same

overall 10/10

moving on i'm going to start with hijikata from gintama. at the start of the anime he uses this sword that. somewhat? resembles the kanesada

it has a rounded tsuba and white ray skin handle with dark tsuka wrappings but that's about where the similarities end. however hijikata actually breaks this sword early on and for the majority of the anime uses the muramasha (a parody of the muramasa)

now the anime and official art and manga all seem to have different designs for the muramasha but in general it seems to have an oval shaped brass colored tsuba with red tsuka which. does not resemble the real muramasa at all. you can see here that the real muramasa has a black squarish tsuba with goldish tsuka wrappings

gintama toshi gets a 6/10 with his first sword doing the heavy lifting may it rest in peace

interestingly tho what this does resemble is hijikata's sword in ishin

it's not an exact match but the tsuba has a similar shape and color. unfortunately that's basically where the similarities end

you can see here that both the ray skin and tsuka wrappings are different colors from both the muramasa and the kanesada. and you can't see it here cuz im at the image limit for this post but the sheathes are different as well

4/10 it looks cool as shit tbh

OH THANKYOU :D! Asking my about my blorbos is a mistake, I ended up ranting about it so I put it under a cut =w='

I think almost all of my art I've posted on here has been for Touken Ranbu! Its a fairly large Japanese franchise that started as a browser game for the working office woman. It has light gatcha elements since it is kind of a pretty boy collector. It has the gameplay of a glorified powerpoint, it's great. It semi-recently got a mobile version and an english release, though Im not a huge fan of the official translations. There's also multiple stage plays, musicals, movies, two different anime series, a Warriors franchise adaptation game for the Nintendo Switch and PC, and im pretty sure at least one official manga story.

The drawing I have currently pinned is the Kiwame (that is, upgraded) version of Kasen Kanesada, one of five characters you can choose as your first at the begining of the browser game.

The premise is You (the player of the browser game) have been hired by the Time Government as a Saniwa (something of a priest or god of gods? Not easy to translate, itll make sense later I promise) to fight against an entity called the Time Retrograde Army (or the Historical Revisionist Army, depending on translation. Abreviated as either TRA or HRA). The TRA are creatures that go back in time to change important events of Japanese history. To aid you, you have the ability to summon the spirits of historic and legendary Japanese blades into human form to go back in time and fight the TRA (this is where the light gatcha comes in).

I think it's pretty cool since the swords characters and designs are heavily bassed off of the history and legends sorounding them. I recommend diveing through the wiki if you are interested in Japanese history!

💌

I associate you with bunnies cos pronouns

And your art skills are amazing

Speaking of your art, your blorbos are beautiful, what are they from?
