#i tried my old artstyle ok

[svrlobotony]

[starrysharks]

ive sent like 20 asks to you atp but i really love ur art soooo so so so much like ur like my biggest inspiration fr like seriously i could blab all day abt how much i love your art and your arts almost singlehandedly motivated me to start working on shape language more bc i think thats like the key part of your art (to me at least) and youre like the true embodiment of "same face syndrome fears me" but like fr because all your ocs are so distinct and unique

do you have any tips on creating unique silhouettes / just general character design tips?? also id love to hear abt how your use of shapes and shape language evolved over time if ur fine sharing that!!

ok this is literally the sweetest ask ever like first off thank you so much ;_; i'm glad i was able 2 inspire you!!!

for me if you look at my old art there's little to no focus on shape language cuz i wanted to express a 'pointy' animeish style. examples are from 2020, 2021 respectively

as you can see i did NOT flip my canvas and my art was samey as hell,,, but in 2021 i started going for softer colors and shapes rather than points and spikes and brighter shapes. but, if you were to look through all of my art from either era, you'd see it's identical cuz i didn't care for shape language. this went on for quite a while :,)

then i discovered worlds end club in late 2021 and everything changed !!! i watched playthroughs cuz i didn't have a means to play at the time, and decided on making my artstyle a blend of cartoony and animeish - which ended up in choosing more expensive silhouettes and faces in turn

honestly i'm too tired to actually chronicle my artstyle change so i'll just skip to late 2022 in this timeline, sorry 😭

so by now has my artstyle evolved into aomwthing super cool n expressive ? no actually i think my art got worse in late 2022

as you can see, my colors got super washed out and i didn't really take risks, i guess? but i was finally starting to come into my own in terms of artstyle and was finally acknowledging shape language a little bit.

very early 2023 is the same, so let's skip to the one thing that changed my artstyle - the big 8 lineups

suddenly everybody was like 'wow your shapes are so good!!!' this was because i had tried to challenge myself with character design in these drawings. so i tried to emphasise interesting shapes more - using a technique where i'd just take an interesting shape or line that corresponded with a character's personality and repeating it as much as i could across the design.

like this deep cut art, where i tried to 'dial up'their already exaggerated shapes and design aspects (such as making frye's pants sag more or changing up shiv's hair. big man is perfect and needs no changes)

but this journey is still not over because a few months ago i rewatched all of panty and stocking and watched clone high for the first time, and both of these shows emphasise shapes a LOT in their designs, and i picked those up. here's art from a few months ago - in short, i tried to find the 'focal point' of the design, something that set it apart from other designs with similar body types or clothing, and built around that, if it makes sense? here's some art that i think expresses that well

comparing the new quintet art to the old one, i think you can also see that i started to try and use different body shapes and shapes in general (such as clyde having a more triangular build ig) . and tumblr doesn't let me add more pictures so this is where the overview ends !

my advice is - watch and rewatch anything that might inspire you, because it has the ability to push you in the right direction. for technical tips, id say -

draw different body types and age ranges (often times same face syndrome is born from only drawing the same age range, usually 15-20 for most sufferers)

play around with style - do you want a more western inspired style or something more akin to modern anime ? maybe something entirely different! try drawing in different styles that you like and see which ones stick

research fashion if only a little bit - it can help understand visually pleasing silhouettes (such as the famous big jacket or big pants silhouettes)

speaking of big jacket or big pants, contrast is key !!! top or bottom heavy designs are an easy way to express personality and an expressive silhouette ig

ummm thaz it ithink. once again thank you for your kind words and remember to take advice from multiple artists im just one guy!! i hope anything in here helped or was at least interesting to read

HIHELLO IVE BEEN STUCK ON YOUR BLOG FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT I CANT GET ENOUGH OF ALL YOUR ART??

Your comic is so uueueu there's not enough words for it!! I love the artstyle OFC, plus the way you layout panels and text, but more than the wonderful art the story is super intriguing and while bad future isn't new this take on it is so!! Unique!! I'm so excited to see where it goes!

Okay actual ask now: How long does 1 page take on average if you already have an idea for the story, and do you have any songs/playlists you associate with this Heart of Stone?

Ok, first of all HHHHHGNGNGHHHHH /I'm just so happy people start to get interested of my comic/

And for the questions: 1) Honestly, I don't know xd Usually it depends on the complexity of the page, and how interested I am to draw it. I'm easy to distract. Most of the time my drawing process looks like: *draws for 5 minutes* *goes to YouTube to search for something to play on the background* *draws for another 5 minutes* *goes to check tumblr or something else or goes to search for another video bcs this one is boring* There are, of course, moments when I can draw for hours without rest when I'm really into some particular page or drawing overall, but it's rare. So, if to take the last update, I drew one page at a day, except for the last two which I finished in one day because I didn't have any other plans. It took me, maybe, a whole evening? Considering my statement at how easily distracted I am. 2) With this one I really tried to think about a playlist, but then I remembered that there is a playlist that I play when I draw the comic:

There's just something about the future turtles that gives me Horizon Zero Dawn vibes. Especially when I think of the future Donnie I always think about how he could easily take the role of Elisabet Sobeck in Horizon. If to be more precise, a few songs from Horizon ost that I associate with my comic would be: "A Wanderer's Work" (it's not present in this playlist, but you can find it on YouTube) "On Our Mother's Shoulders" "Envoys" "The Memory Of Old Walls" "The World And All It's Lessons" "This New Wilderness" "Identification" And a couple of osts from different media: Old Gods of Asgard - "Herald of Darkness" Mikolai Stroinski - "After the storm" Just in case, sorry, I don't have anything like Spotify, because I can't get access to it, and even something like SoundCloud, so, all I can offer is this...

Maybe I will have more osts/songs later, but for now this is it xd

Is there anything specific that’s been a big influence on your art style? Particular artists or kinds of art? Specific movies, shows, games, etc.? I’m curious :3

Ok, so. It's really hard for me to answer this because I am CONSTANTLY going "oh, I like that art! I wanna draw that way!" and I'm eternally dissatisfied with my art style. *Shrug*

However, I can list a few things that have definitely affected my artstyle!

For one, one of the first art books I ever learned from was "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way." American comics in general, really. Though I much prefer the style trends from the 70's and 80's to more modern stuff. Not that it's bad, I just adore the look that the old printing methods kinda bred

I consumed a lot of anime/manga growing up too (my first was Rosario + Vampire and I guarantee that encountering ecchi so young rewired my brain), and that probably shows through a bit no matter how I have tried shaking it. I'm struggling to think of any specific titles where the art was a notable influence though

I also do a lot of master studies for school. I'm very fond of Albrecht Durer, personally. The way he captured muscles, folds, and wrinkles in the human form is just so amazing

In terms of fellow fanartists I look up to and actively want to absorb their ways.... (I am NOT fucking tagging them lmao)

Ncalabby, for one. Not big surprise. Everything about his art drives me insane. Especially those expressive faces...

DashinSlashin isn't exactly active anymore, but around the time I started this blog I was actively studying their style because of the sheer level of skill on display.

VirtualMish is another inspiration that's probably obvious. The way he handles anatomy... that balance of realism and stylization.... fuck dude its so good.

Also literally all of my artist mutuals fill me with envy and I'm not brave enough to actually tag them about it. Their styles are so distinctive.... (sobs)

[deallercoolsteterwereld]

Drew 2 of my oc’s in the dp artstyle

Its actually kind off a redraw ( I REALLY WANNA FIND THE OLD ONE) because Noah used to be a bad Danny phantom edit oc. I made for the show 😭😭😭

I tried making them look like they could be in the background, Noah looks better than abey but that’s ok 👍👍🗣️🗣️

Hello! If you don't mind it, do you have any favorite Pre-Crisis comics or issues you would consider required reading for that era? Thank you!

Ok ok ok. Lissen. I tried. I really did. The thing is that pre-crisis is a looooooooong era. It wasn't easy going through 47 years of bathistory and try and pick notable moments, especially because what counts as notable is very subjective. Also I just simply wouldn't consider myself a bathistorian. I mean, I only really care about the rogues, you know me. But! I tried! Here are some moments, that I think are noteworthy, or otherwise interesting. I wrote down why I think each issue is interesting, so you can decide for yourself if you think it's worth reading or not. I know I put things in here that other people might find filler stories and also left out things that some might consider really important (for example, you will find no Justice League here, as I just never cared about them.) It's my list, so it will have my biases. I hope I got all issue numbers and years correct. I was going to go through them one more time to check but........... I don't want to. Also, some of these I read literally years ago, so my memory of them might be hazy. Anyway, I hope you find at least a couple issues on this list you like :33 Golden Age (1938-1956) Detective Comics #27 (1939) ”The Case of the Chemical Syndicate” First Batman story Detective Comics #38 (1940) ”Robin the Boy Wonder” Dick's First appearance Batman #1 (1940) The first two Joker stories, the first Catwoman story and the second Hugo story. Really not a single skippable story in this one Batman #16 (1943) ”Here comes Alfred” Alfred's first appearance Detective Comics #83 (1944) ”Accidentally on Purpose” Alfred gets a makeover and starts looking like the Alfred we know and love today Batman #35 (1946) ”Dinosaur Island” Where the dinosaur in the Batcave came from World's Finest Comics #30 (1947) ”The Penny Plunderers” Where the giant penny is from Detective Comics #168 (1951) "The Man Behind the Red Hood" Joker's first origin story Superman #76 (1952) ”The Mightiest Team in the World” First Batman/Superman team up. They learn each other's identities. It's so fanfic-y. They actually have to share a room on a cruise, because there are too many people aboard. Only thing missing is if there was only one bed. Detective Comics #233 (1956) ”The Bat-Woman” First appearance of the original Batwoman Kathy Kane Silver Age (1956-1970)

World's Finest Comics #88 (1957) ”Superman and Batman's Greatest Foes!” First Joker/Lex Luthor team-up The Flash #123 (1961) ”Flash of two Earths” Not a Batman story, but quintessential to the lore as this is the introduction of the multiple earths Batman #164 (1964) ”Two-Way Gem Caper” Debut of the ”new look”. They refreshed the artstyle here. There are also other changes like the elevator to the batcave and a new batmobile among other things. This also starts my favorite era in bathistory, 1964 to 1970. Sooo many interesting things happened here. Detective Comics #327 (1964) ”The Mystery of the Menacing Masks” New look debut in Detective Comics Detective Comics #328 (1964) ”Gotham Gang Line-up” Alfred dies and we get aunt Harriet instead This story continues in: Detective Comics: #334, 336, 340 and 349 but if you want, you could just skip to: Detective Comics #356 (1966) ”The Inside Story of the Outsider” Alfred returns. Detective Comics #359 (1967) ”The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl” Barbara's first appearance Detective Comics #387 (1969) ”The Cry of Night is – ”Sudden Death”” A modern re-telling of the first Batman story. Well, modern by 60s standards, but that's what I love about it so. Detective Comics #389 (1969) "Batman's evil eye" Here the writers are really longing back for the days of old when Batman was spooky and goffik. Also!! It's a Scarecrow story woooooooooo!!! My favorite Scarecrow story, in fact! Really the only villain you could've had in a story like this. Batman #217 (1969) ”One Bullet Too Many!” Dick leaves for Hudson university and Bruce and Alfred move to a penthouse in the city. Bronze Age (1970-1986) Batman #251 (1973) ”The Joker's Five-Way Revenge!” This is the issue where Joker starts murdering again Detective Comics #457 (1976) "There is No Hope in Crime Alley" Re-telling of Batman's origins. The first appearance of Leslie Thompkins my beloved. Just an all around good fucking story. Detective Comics #469-476 (1977-1978) Steve Englehart's run. Really a must read Batman #348 (1982) ”Shadow Play” Bruce, Dick and Alfred return to Wayne Manor. Also a Man-Bat story! Yippieeeeeee! Batman #357 (1983) ”Squid” Jason's first appearance (for one panel only, though) Detective Comics #525 (1983) ”Confrontation” First time Jason actually speaks Detective comics #526 (1983) ”All My Enemies Against Me!” Jason's parents die and he plays hero for the first time. Last issue of Gerry Conway's banger run. Also first time Jervis uses mind control (and it's on Jonathan!) Batman #365, Detective Comics #532, Batman #366 (1983) Jason dyes his hair and makes first apperance as Robin, but Bruce doesn't approve. A Joker story. Batman #368 (1984) ”A Revenge of Rainbows” Dick gives Jason his blessing and Jason finally becomes Robin officially. Detective Comics #566, Batman #400 (1986) Last issues of pre-crisis. Rip.

Salve!! 2, 15, and 23 for the artist asks? (no pressure if you've already answered/don't have an answer for any of those)

HII like the previous ask post i will put this under the cut

1. most recent drawing of slimer because i like how i drew his head and the flowers 2. artfight attack on crowbugz 3. redraw of that one shot from the pizza tower game intro with nero where i tried to stay true to the artstyle 4. japhet from the game off i finished after a year of drawing the sketch 5. reference image of all forms of my sona ray. a bit outdated but i like it still i will add some old art i still like to the end of this post as an additional set of images. i feel like sharing them

i always start drawing with the head. i know i should work with this body first to plan out the pose but i canttt im so used to doing it like this

ALWAYS i need background noise. i usually play one song on repeat until i finish some part of the drawing. idk what that says about me. i dont really watch shows like stuff split into episodes i prefer movies. ive see re-animator at least 6 times at this point by just making it play in the corner while i draw a furry. awesome experience. yesterday i rewatched videodrome while designing a new character

ok and now . the old art . because i just remembered i still have it on this disc and you cant find it anywhere now that my deviantart is down but theres still some nice stuff here. gives you perspective on how i used to draw 2+ years ago

i have no memory of making these tbh but 2 3 and 5 are not my characters so they were either commissions or gifts

[dophshaunt]

So I beat Echoes of Wisdom

My thoughts below (!!SPOILERS!!):

Glad that 2D Zeldas aren't dead

Didn't love the artstyle in the LA Remake, still don't like it here

It's cool that they brought back the Golden Goddesses

Scrolling though a single row to select an item is really starting to get old. It's worse here than in BotW or TotK since making echoes is most of your moveset

Most of the puzzles were not very satisfying

It was nice that they had a companion even if Tri is pretty bland

Music was just OK

Glad they brought back the Deku even if they felt underdeveloped

They didn't let us know what Link actually said at the end, the cowards

I liked how many classic Zelda enemies there are in this game. It feels like all the ones of note made it in

Game didn't thank me at the end for playing it come on Nintendo

Despite most of my criticisms I'm glad this game exists and I'm confident that the team can learn and grow and probably overcorrect as the Zelda devs usually do lol

[omgafhsfanin2024]

heyyyyss hope this isnt weird but did you happen to have a fede drawing of him with a mullet that you deleted? i have a reblog of it in my drafts for some reason i was gonna reblog it but now that i tried to reach the original it says that it doesn't exist?

did you delete it? if so, are you ok with me still rebloggin the drawing? (since i have it in my drafts i guess i am still able to reblog it)

if you're not it's alright i understand dw !

Hi yes I made the drawing! I have deleted some of my older drawings (including the Fede Mullet One) because I think my older artstyle(s) r very embarrassing and I don't wanna see it BUT you're free to reblog it!! It's just a personal thing and you can freely reblog my old art if you find it somehow!!

[hoetao]

ok you ask so i Will Be Elaborating. i have notes, wikis open, you know. the shit. i could probably give citations to most of those claims, but some of them are just based on vibes. maybe headcanons. i am honestly unsure at this point.

let's start with the obvious: yes, in my brain Wriothesley is Phoenix Wright-coded, while Neuvillette is Miles Edgeworth-coded. let me explain that first.

their appearance seems to match; both pairs have this "polar opposites" thing that i'll be coming back to frequently, but you can see it first in their design. while narumitsu goes for the funky blue-magenta, wriolette is classy white&blue-black&red (i know they both have greys/blacks but it's about the Themes).

well, Wriothesley and Phoenix might have an opposing color scheme, but they're actually kinda similar. the artstyles wary wildly, but in my head their hairstyles have at least the same vibe. i honestly think if we put a hat and a tracksuit on Wriothesley he would look very similar to Phoenix in Apollo Justice. they are both very much dog-coded (Wriothesley is a fucking cerberus or a werewolf or whatever. Phoenix is a golden retriever. unless you count his Apollo Justice era. then maybe like an evil dingo or smth)

they were both connected to law somehow since they were children (as, respectively, a murderer/convict and... uhh a kid who was accused of stealing some money? but you know, the tonal difference has to be there, Wriothesley is much more of a tragic character since the beginning, but Phoenix gets some more fucked up lore later). they both had hard experiences that left them with trust issues that they both cope with through humor and general snark.

Apollo Justice era Phoenix reminds me the most of Wriothesley here: they are both seen as criminals even though their situations are quite nuanced. their morals are quite flexible and they both do things that aren't really "by the book" for the greater good or to satisfy their own morals, even if they prefer not to. both Wriothesley and Phoenix survived a lot of physical trauma and have good pain tolerance/endurance.

they are both seen as laid back, dependable, sarcastic and sometimes kind of goofy. they are both big softies at heart and like children a lot, neither of them runs away from a bit of kids' tomfoolery. sometimes they even seem/act a bit fatherly (Wriothesley mostly to Sigewinne/the fortress occupants at large; Phoenix towards his little family of misfits and Trucy, ofc). what connects them especially is the general guard-dog vibe they give off - i don't think they could stop it even if they tried, and that makes them especially fucked up.

Neuvillette and Edgeworth are both seen kind of like dignified older men (even when Edgeworth really isn't). they are always seen in elegant clothing and they both even wear a jabot!!! also they both have an old person hair color. Neuvillette's design is funkier, but Edgeworth also dabs in some aristocratic details (at least in his von Karma era).

they are both kind of old souls (more or less literally) - seen by others as serious, unfeeling and stately. they are both largely unfamiliar with the more emotional and empathetic parts of themselves, or rather they don't have a great understanding of them, even though they both clearly feel A Lot. they are generally seen as complex, aloof and awkward.

they are both mostly referred to by their last name (did you know that no one knows Neuvillette's first name?), they act distant and cold because of... reasons. they are both in clear positions of power in the court of law, and Neuvillette even investigated/prosecuted a few times.

but i think that their most important similarity is: they both have a silly little hobby! Edgeworth loves Steel Samurai, while Neuvillette enjoys water tasting - i think both of those make them seem more... like real people. humanizes them.

both relationships have this "polar opposites that need each other to work at all" theme; narumitsu, of course, as defense vs prosecution in court of law, meanwhile wriolette is more of judgement vs correction as two parts of a whole - after one person sentences, the other manages the prisoners, tries to rehabilitate and have them rejoin society... or whatever Wriothesley is cooking honestly.

it couldn't be said that they met in the same circumstances, but just as narumitsu, wriolette first met during the trial in which Wriothesley/Phoenix was accused. both pairs have deep personal relationships forged on trust. there's also that theme of fighting for each others reputation, though flipped (Neuvillette for Wriothesley's title as the duke/Phoenix for Miles' as the Demon Prosecutor)

(i think its also funny how the four characters kind of uhh. fit together? we have a defense attorney, a prosecutor, a judge and a prison warden - no doubles! all roles taken!)

im pretty sure i forgot something but ive been writing for quite some time so. feel free to add your thoughts!!

you know what. wriolette is a lot like narumitsu

i might elaborate perhaps ... but for now ... be it a secret

Gunnerkrigg Liveblog #0A: The Ride Begins

Originally posted on TV Tropes (30 Oct. 2022).

~

Last week, I — M-95 — learned that TV Tropes has it's own designated liveblog section! Isn't that nifty? Now, there is this one webcomic I heard good things about which apparently has a lot of content. So I decided to to a liveblog of it, to make it more convenient for myself. The webcomic in question is none other than Gunnerkrigg Court [Trope Page] by Tom Siddell!

Now, I must concede that I'm new to the world of plot-driven webcomics. I've only read one other before, and it's what introduced me to Gunnerkrigg to begin with. I've tried to avoid reading anything about the comic's plot to avoid spoilers. See, the page on this site for JigsawPuzzlePlot.Webcomics makes this comment about Gunnerkrigg Court: "Fans sometimes joke that for every question a chapter answers, it brings up at least 10 more."

Sounds like a trainwreck of a read. However, that's my jam! The only plot-driven webcomic I've read up till now is Girl Genius, which is such a spoiler-ridden mess that when a character I wasn't familiar with was name-dropped, I googled their name and instantly got hit in the face with a massive spoiler. Apparently Gunnerkrigg Court is even crazier than Girl Genius in terms of wild plot twists. What I take from this is that binge-reading Gunnerkrigg Court is the webcomic equivalent of eating the "Old 96er" from The Great Outdoors. In that case, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

As for how much I plan to update this liveblog: I have zero schedule for this thing. Gunnerkrigg time is free time, and free time must make sacrifices to university time and family time every so often.

---- Let\'s start - I'm practically going into this blind, and I've learned my lesson from the last plot-driven webcomic to avoid fan wikis like the plague until I know what's going on. Thankfully the comic's archives are split into chapters, which is good for going back to things. The first page of the comic (I'm going to link to pages like "[Ch#].[p#]" — so the first page is 1.1) is just a title page with the comic's main character. The artstyle is a bit blocky for my taste but apparently the art evolves quickly.

Next up (1.2), our main character (or is she?) introduces us to a school named Gunnerkrigg Court, along with a "second shadow" she appears to have gained. She goes on (1.3-5) to describe her shadow friend - dubbed "Shadow 2" - and how it plans to escape the court with her help. Given those lights on the bridge, I guess the staff know full well that Shadow 2 exists and want him to stay here.

She unfortunately isn't allowed off school grounds (1.6), and given our heroine's "sensible solution" to this little problem, I can already see why Girl Genius gave Gunnerkrigg Court a shout-out. Well, that and the plot twists. She intends to build a robot, but realized that she doesn't know how. Luckily the staff are bad at hiding things with labels (1.7).

So our heroine creates (1.9) our third character: a walking robot! He takes on the task of walking across the bridge with bravado (1.11), carrying our shadow friend with him. There's a creepy bird (1.13), and soon enough Shadow 2 reunites with all his shadow-creature friends (1.14).

Back at school, one of the staff makes the first mention of our heroine's name (1.15): "Miss Carver". Cool, now I don't have to awkwardly not call her by name. A white-haired lady gives a first-hand introduction to how Gunnerkrigg's school system works (1.16); it's apparently located in the United Kingdom, it's divided into four houses, and . . . wait, this is just Harry Potter, isn't it? OK it's not exactly like Harry Potter. I'll admit this exposition dump is worded weirdly, but the gist of it is: there are 4 houses, and each house gets 2 classes a year, with one class dubbed "North" and another dubbed "South". This means that "her" (I assume Miss Carver's) class is Anatomy, which is the "North" class of the "Queslett" house.

And . . . that's the end of Chapter 1 of Gunnerkrigg Court, fellas! Kinda abrupt in my opinion. Tune in for the next time I post here!

[mystl3tainn]

OK SO!!! I tried redesigning bernadetta in the style of FE8!! There’s nothing wrong with the FE16 artstyle… I just prefer the look of the old games so much more!:D Replicating the FE8 style was so much fun and a bit of a challenge I enjoyed!

And by no means am I saying that my design is better than the FE3H original, I just like to see her in the old game style, I think it’s sooo charming and warm! I miss it a lot.

[horrorartist23]

Ok i tried to look a bit for the old master tnt sketches but i was unsucessful ill search more tomorrow. But during my search i found some other annoying orange stuff i drew years ago.

Prepare to cringe:

Human version of orange i made

Human Orange and Passion on the left that I drew with prompts on the right side are designs for a zombie version of Orange that I used for an old Digital piece

More designs of Zombie Orange

Human orange and orange in general. Also an attempt at the comic book artstyle

Cute annoying orange characters and a human design I had. I made his hair green because the leaves on his head were green. I dismissed the design later because you could confuse him with Pear

This one is interesting because this was based on a mobile game. I kinda wanted to make a loading screen for the game. Haha i just remembered all of that looking back at it.

Nya nya style😎 this doesnt really need an explanation does it?

Back when Among us was pretty big I drew a version of Annoying orange Among us characters. Looking book it was good. The expressions are good and the panels and stuff.

Anywhosie daisies i hope you enjoyed this cringy stuff byeee

[me4t-tre4t]

Hi again tumblr friends!! It's been a while, sorry!!

This drawing probably took me a few weeks to do! I'm so proud of it!! I tried to replicate the 2000s anime art style, which I failed at but dnoonf. It's still good art!! I'm proud of it!!! Yes!!!

Dbbid. I do hope to get better at replicating that type of artstyle, I dream to make a cool website like the old gaia online fifkr （´ ω `）

Ok that's the end of the post!! Byebye now byebye!!

Baki just pulls any excuse he can't to avoid fighting the old man, like, fair but :/

Katou: "what did you hit me with?" Doppo: 🤗

Those chonky legs are gonna make me act uppp

That's super interesting, I'm enjoying this saga for the knowledge I'm getting alone

Please don't kill him Baki

Doppo please-

HOHO HE GOT HIM YOOO

I like how he was like "yeah tried to ignore that world :/" but then knows everything about it like okay Doppo KTSHEAEJAF

Oh yeah, Baki's dead

There's an actual sumo fan in the comments and i respect him sm

You know, the only Hanma Doppo hasn't hit yet (out of the 4 we know) is Jack, which like it's fair but it's funny (i say hit and not fight bc he only properly fought Yuji-chan)

Chapter 9

Yujiro is at it again i guess :/

Oh no for once it wasn't Yuji's fault!

Boy i don't think your ankle can do that <:/

I love this random bodyguard

Look at his kind face, i like this guy

Awww <:3c

Can't wait for him to fight Yujiro 😍

I SHOULD BE SAYING MY MY MR UNCHAINED LOOK AT THOSE GLASSES 😳

"So Mr Unchained will be sacrificed to hype the sumo" i love the use of the word sacrifice in this context

Chapter 10

LMAO YESSS I LOVE THE BUTTON EYE GUY

BIG BOOBA

I like how he doesn't hold his hip but his leg, power move from Itagaki

He doesn't even know how this manga works 🐍

Chapter 11

That's fucking epic

Girl i can barely stay standing on both legs imagine THAT

Lol isn't it 500 nowdays?

Well of course he used a pinky! I remember the explanation :)

Lasha couldn't stand this so apparently his new record is 484

Chapter 12

Hehe Hana, come here boy we gotta see Sukune try something out

"Fairly normal uses"

This body guard looks a little too much like Katou for my liking

King shit

Y'know Sukune is cute and all but i think he's a bit too brutal for my liking

Okay nvm that was good of him

Those kois eat more than me

Y'all have NO IDEA how bad i want to be picked up by Sukune

He's such a boyboss

HOHOHO KING 👀

Don't worry i would peg him (KAHWKSGSKSSH SORRYYYY)

Chapter 22

Actually feel bad for the guy

Everything this old man does is smoke and feed his koi fish and honestly, respect

I would just faint bro

Chapter 23

Mf is insanely op for doing that

King

Chapter 24

Anatomy is so fucked in this book but idc round

Retsu spent a long ass time training doing literally the same idk what you are so surprised about goroukou

I have no idea what he's saying but that's sick

He's just doing what Baki bro

Chapter 25

Tokugawa i don't think a man who healed from a lung cancer just a year ago should do this

Amazing

They should make Musashi fight him (/j Musashi would most likely die bc he would curious over how strong Sukune is, but by then it would be kinda late-)

Was this guy always this way?

Chapter 26

IGARIIII I MISS YOUUU, even if you ended this sumo's whole career

Also must say Igari looks kinda odd this artstyle, big eyes take the focus away from his canoe shaped face that- *gets shot*

I like how thin his ankles are, especially compared to the wrists

Look how calm and confident he is lmao

HEEELLO BABY!

Bitches in the comments acting like they don't know Baki, the assholes lmao

Chapter 27

HE SO TINY

I have no idea what lending chest means that's why I'm so quiet

I love how confused he is

I mean i guess that's true yeah

Mf loves that trick doesn't he?

IGDYAETAWTAWD TOKUGAWA'S REACTION 😭

Chapter 31

GIRL I DON'T THINK THEY WERE AWARE OF THEIR EXISTENCE BACK THEN

SGAFSHSGDFA This entire match is Sukune being like 😦

Hey look at the fellas! I like how they give introductions to em as if we hadn't been seeing these guys since book 1

Chapter 32

Would say that's a Pog but not quite

THERE! GLAD THEY MENTIONED IT!

Hana's now blind eye looks cool ngl

Mohfyestwatws "he's thicc 🥵"

HOOO NICE FLIP!!!

There's something funny about those 4 just hanging out up there without Sukune knowing

"He's like a kid in a candy shop"

Chapter 33

Idk why that made me laugh

I have seen this panel before, i still think it's pretty cute 👉👈

"in vogue" he's so pretentious 🙄/hj

Chapter 34

I don't think Hana is that light bro

Hehe last time all the mains were at the arena it was when the prisoners..... Nice to see it's a better context now <3 (INSIDE the arena i mean btw)

Why do they sit so close to that table?

Smoke is so cool in this manga

Shit this is cool to know, usually maps in my country look the same but the other way around, both Americas on the left

Kinda sad how Oliva didn't get to use his headbutt

He doesn't even know 🐍

Chapter 35

Lol today i re-read done bits of the maximum tournament and yeah this guy looks the same <3

I'm.... Gonna shit my pants are we having another tournament after so long?!

I love how even Sukune is surprised

HEY LET GRANDPA GO

HOHOHO NICE

UFSYETAWTAWES FR DUDE 😳 PLSSS OYFISRURSEYAYESEYA

Chase Koeneke’s Top 25 3DS Games

The fun thing about doing lists for the best handheld games each year since 2013 is that you can compare your opinions then to what they are now and see what holds up. Some things have decidedly shifted over time. For example, Monster Hunter Stories has dulled a bit since I named it my 2017 game of the year, whereas repeated playthroughs of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia have given me new appreciation for this entry in one of my favorite series. Even more interesting: 2013 claims three of my top five 3DS game slots. Hell of a year. Read on for all 25 of my favorite games for one of my favorite systems ever.

1. Fire Emblem Awakening

Hardcore Fire Emblem fans tend to dislike Awakening for becoming too casual and too broken, but those are the things I kind of appreciate about the game. Permadeath has always been my biggest gripe about Fire Emblem (well, ok, it’s actually the limited weapon uses, but permadeath is a close second,) so it was great to see Intelligent Systems create an option to never lose characters independent of the difficulty. Awakening has a really fun and varied cast, some strong music and an incredible array of customization to turn your units into literal killing machines. I put over 500 hours into Awakening in 2013 alone and I’m still thinking about it to this day.

2. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Echoes is right up there too. In a number of ways, I even prefer it to Awakening. From my Best of 2017 list:

Whereas Awakening and Fates are built from a rich history of mechanics from past Fire Emblem games, Echoes is almost experimental by comparison.

This remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden is such an interesting mix of new, old and old made new. A gorgeous artstyle, doing away with the weapon triangle, magic costing health, dungeons to explore, full voice acting and a split story that is one of the more compelling tales in the series. It’s held back by some outdated and boring map design, but Echoes does so much more right than it does wrong and it’s my favorite game in the series to go back to.

3. SteamWorld Heist

From 2015:

It scratches all my itches: Tactical combat, party customization, loot, and then wraps them up in this fun and friendly 2D world.

All still true, but the thing I forgot to mention is what makes SteamWorld Heist so unique: It’s aiming. When you attack in other tactical franchises, your hits are either guaranteed or there are dice rolls to determine whether or not your attack lands. But in Heist, your weapons have a slight sway, requiring skill and timing to hit your shots. It’s a very inventive approach that brings finesse to a genre that’s normally pre-determined. Image & Form made something special here, and while the Dig games are great, I’m hoping that more Heist is on its way.

4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

One of my big video game shames is that I’ve never finished A Link to the Past, despite numerous attempts. I always get lost somewhere in the middle and become frustrated in having this big world to explore, but still feeling like I’m locked out from experiencing most of it. A Link Between Worlds alleviates this problem by letting you rent equipment, making more of the map accessible at any one time and allowing you to tackle dungeons in the order you prefer. For my money, it’s the best Zelda game of all time.

5. Pokemon X/Y

Despite playing and enjoying every Pokemon game since X & Y, I think this was the last generation I truly loved. The first mainline Pokemon games to move into the third dimension, X & Y’s new coat of paint truly felt fresh, despite hewing pretty closely to the tried and true Pokemon formula. And though it started a disappointing trend of gimmick features in each new generation, X & Y’s Mega Evolution was a real game changer that made it exciting to go back to old favorite monsters and see how they changed. Combine that with a fun array of new Pokemon (and a new type) and you’ve got the best modern Pokemon game around.
