#i wouldve added a certain someone to this but uhhhh. sorry nishiki im not drawing your brother 9 times im lazy

timelineposting featuring the 3y + associated scrimblos :3 because I like tracking changes in design over time

Design notes and a funny lil blood alt below the cut:

kiwami-era Mine's color palette pulls from Daigo's color palette. also i put him under k2 for my own sanity even though iirc the model's in k1

He also lacks his natural red highlights during that period & that is a deliberate choice on my part. Which I guess implies he's...dying his hair lmfao

In a similar vein to the kiwami Mine thing, Daigo's DS dress pulls from Mine's color palette!

post-y3 Daigo is doing. Bad. bringing back the blush from his k2 alcoholism days + using the darker shadow color for his eyes + no highlights. It takes until about y7 for him to somewhat recover ghdjsghdks

same shirt color for ryuji + kaoru in y0

kaoru adding the additional piercings + dyed streaks post-k2

Legally required to scrinkle Ryuji for DS. guess losing an arm did a number on the poor guy HJKHJKEWT

I'm required to point out kiwami Nishiki's lil anglerfish lure every time. also his fishbone earrings. #slay

Also as a fun note, the only characters here with actual normal ass circular pupils are Nishiki and Daigo. love it when ppl are vaguely creaturey.

+ blood moment lets gooo
