No context

Bierrez is up next for my headcanon headshots! I wanted him to look as pointy as possible, he just really gives those vibes.

I stopped here for now, hoping to do Rune and Cesia in the near future though!

Love the highly unique dorakishi experience of "yeah that's official art; no my eyes aren't that fucking color" 🙄

(For context - no I'm not visually divergent in any way; the author just seems to spin a wheel to determine hair and eye color for all the characters at any given moment - particularly the protagonists the most, who need to be the most recognizable??? So yeah)

Some Saabel picrews because I was bored.

Ok, unclear if it matters whether they're obscure in the source itself but - Rath from dragon knights / doragon kishidan, by mineko ohkami.

Welcome!

Are you tired of your fav characters losing polls seemingly due to their obscurity? Well we here aim to fix that.

And the way we do that is simple, for each poll, if you know one character but not the other, vote for the character you DON'T know. If you both or neither character then vote for whoever you like more.

Submissions for character will close 1 Month after this post, on the 13th of April. And the bracket itself will start as soon as I can after that.

To submit a character simply do the following:

Think of a character that you like, but think is obscure

Reblog this post with the characters name, and what franchise they are from

Now one thing to note: if I see a lot of the same character being submitted that will lessen their chances of getting in, so if you see this post being reblogged because it had a character or series tag that you follow, consider submitting a different character.

Happy Halloween from my fav OTP!

Delte, the faerie fortune-teller from Dragon Kishidan by Ohkami Mineko-sensei! .

I’m a super fans of the series itself, and on top of all, my eyes seem to set on this side-supporting-character who rarely appears or being drawn by sensei :’)) So I’ve decided to draw a lot of Delte starting from now on!

Since it’s Ohkami Mineko sensei we’re talking about... There wasn’t any official hair or eyes color for the character ^_^; I interpreted Delte’s iconic color as pink somehow, but in the end one old artwork of DK shows me that her hair is somewhat green, and another one is... brown? yellow? I’ll go with light green for now.

So I've been rereading Dragon Knights recently. I love it, it's a terrible manga and idk that I'd necessarily recommend it even for how much I adore it, BUT. I HAVE to direct everyone's attention to this page because there's a sequence of actions happening that literally No One is talking about in or out of context of the story and it's cracking me up.

Ok so ignoring the dialogue and what's Actually happening, we're following the guy with black hair (Rath) and his proximity to the guy with the scars (Thatz). Reading left to right, top to bottom:

panel 1: Rath is leaning over Thatz's shoulders, presumably by this point it was to get a better look at what they've been scrutinizing. Excusable levels of contact.

Panel 2: Thatz has pulled away to get the stick from the kid Zoma. Rath is Nowhere to be seen in this panel.

Panel 3: Rath is once more perched against Thatz's shoulders, implied like in panel 1. However, since this has NOT been continuous contact, this suggests that either Thatz repositioned himself back in front of Rath (possible, not unlikely but awkward); or Rath followed after and closed the gap himself (possible, likely, and not as awkward a position for him to recreate); or perhaps even a mix of both actions. Either scenario means the physical closeness has been Intentionally recreated Exactly.

Panel 4: Thatz has once more pulled away, naturally, to fling the stick with all his bodily might. This was probably unnecessary given they're trying to observe it but either way Rath is once more Not Visible anywhere in the panel.

Panel 5: the stick in the abyss.

Panel 6: now Everyone is stacked on top of Thatz to get a closer look at the stick, Rath included. Obviously this is done for the sake of the gag, but this means that Once More someone intentionally closed the gap, most likely Rath, who is now Also hugging Thatz loosely in the process.

Bonus note, the following page: now, despite there being no more stick to watch, what little you can see of the adjacent page shows them Still in the same position based on the angle and placement of their faces of the visible panel.

And like. You can obviously argue that the author just wasn't paying attention to staging, I don't think that'd be entirely a first. However, both characters by this point have repeatedly demonstrated either a lack of personal space boundaries (Thatz) or a tendency to be very physically affectionate and almost clingy (Rath), on top of being close with each other in general, so you can also easily argue that this sequence of events happened Exactly As Implied and have it be just as if not more likely canon than any more sensible alternative renditions of this scene.

And that just cracks me up to consider, especially when this paints the mental image of zooming the camera out a little to see Rath toddling after Thatz like a baby chick for the entire scene.

Bet you thought the next dorakishi character I'd finish would be Rune or Cesia, huh.

Not quite! They're sketched out but I was leaning more angular, so I decided to do Gil next. The real fan favorite of the series lmaooo

His hair. Is ridiculous. I think I found a good balance but man...

[aaaaaa888]

the dragon knights fandom never actually died we just like

stayed in the theater for seven years after the show and entertained ourselves.

[unluckyxse7enart]

I did not forget that I wanted to post headcanon looks for some of the Dragon Knights cast, so here's Thatz! Really wanted him to look the most 'just some guy' out of the cast, hoping I pulled it off!

[unluckyxse7enart]

I haven’t done a lot of art lately, and decided I wanted to try doing a panel redraw for a change of pace! I picked one from Dragon Knights bc it’s a manga no one pays attention to and is so silly and ridiculous. I Have to make art for it.

The numerous and inane hair varients are bc if you have Any familiarity with this series you’ll know the author never draws the fucking protagonist with the same hair colors twice /hj and I will Die on the ‘his hair is black but the streak can change color’ hill for no reason whatsoever (you know... mood ring hair Rath!)

Dragon Knights is the Homestuck of manga

Planning on doing some quick visual studies on the dorakishi cast to cure the sameface issue they suffer in the manga's art style... Not sure how far I'll get though so take this Rath for now.
