Hey Guilty Gear community: Testament's English voice actress's house was shot and isn't safe to live in. She could use some financial help if you've got a few bucks to spare
Alrighty- due to the shooting which caused a hole in my apartment, glass debris, and a follow up dangerous CO2 leak, loss of ability to use AC, I'm asking for help via (p a.yp al) to help deal with this and improve our situation, especially w all this happening *during a strike*.
OLD: Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007 - Daisuke Ishiwatari art commentary English translation. This was one of the first full scanlations I ever did for Guilty Gear. Also includes a walkthrough for a May illustration by Daisuke.
Context: Red Reload was so broken that they pushed an update a month later, giving us the Blue Reload that got ported to consoles and stuff after. Red has been trapped in Naomi arcade cabinets since February 2003. Until now. Everyone popoff for Travis's hard work!!!! ๐ฅณ๐๐๐๐๐
I've been too busy becoming Sol Badguy irl to work on translations stuff lately, but once June gets here I'll be done with it and really want to get back into translating Lightning the Argent
Finally nearing the end of this project. Need to clean up the blade edges a bit with fine grit sandpaper but it's ready to be painted. Gonna go with Sol's default palette instead of 09 (orange), the one I usually use
NEW GUILTY GEAR WIKI IS NOW PUBLIC!! After 5 months of about 20 nerds chugging away at this, we finally did it... We got GG World, scripts, CITATIONS, galleries expanded, and a bunch of other stuff. Please check it out!!
Magic apocalypse y2k happening in Guilty Gear means 9/11 didn't happen, meaning the American country music genre made it through the 2000s and onward unscathed in that timeline
Guilty Gear XX ฮ Core Plus mission illustration featuring Kliff Undersn and Justice, by Daisuke Ishiwatari. Upscaled from a 1117x1582px scan of the Guilty Gear Codex (2014).
Guilty Gear XX ฮ Core Plus special illustration featuring Order-Sol, by Daisuke Ishiwatari. Upscaled from a 1105x1604px scan of the Guilty Gear Codex (2014).
In one of the first Sol Badguy design drafts, he was a vampire named Frederick Mercurius and wielded Thunderseal, which would later become Ky's sword. He's always held his sword in a reverse grip though because Daisuke thought that looked more powerful
NEW SCANS: Guilty Gear XX Slash Beat Encyclopedia //

Muting this now but before I do: Bridget is trans, dragging my identity into this makes you look desperate, & remember to spend 60 minutes a week outdoors. It's good for your mental health. Ok, have fun!
Also check out this zine I helped work on:
Does anyone know if these Bedman concept images debuted in a showcase stream or something? We're trying to find the source for them but they aren't in any of the art books we have. The GG Fandom wiki is all that comes up in reverse image searches...

@CookieLoverOwO
It still blows my mind at how far this little edit I put together between rounds of getting decimated by my buddy's celestial Goldlewis has gone lol. But it's nice knowing that it seems to have had a mostly positive impact and makes people happy
The Butterfly & Her Gale two-page spread from Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007. Since I didn't skin my book for clean scans, I had to redraw large sections that were obscured by the book's gutter. This illustration is rarely seen in full due to the gutter cleanup issue.
May's Guilty Gear Petit 2 key art by Emiko Iwasaki. Biggest file of this that I could find online was 150x150 so I made a bigger one with some image compositing and redrawing.
I started doing GG scans because all the scans of this illustration that existed at the time sucked and I had a copy of Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007. So, I scanned it. Then I found out no one had scanned the whole book yet n figured what could it hurt? Now here we are hah
Here's a summary of the Dual Rulers panel if you missed it: It's animated and has a plot. I saved you 40 minutes. Just watch the trailer they posted earlier; they beat around the bush so hard that the bush is a polished stick poking outta the dirt now
New GG wiki is still happening. Here's some stuff we've gotten done/are doing:
๐ฅ Uploaded missing game scripts + character dialog
๐ฅ Transcribed + uploaded all of the GG World glossaries
๐ฅ Working on adding missing gallery images + art creds
Planned: ASW/GG interviews archive
โ LIGHTNING THE ARGENT โ
CHAPTER 1 โ
First draft of my English translation of the GGX novel by Kaihou Norimitsu. It's mostly focused on Ky, but Raven, Asuka, and Sol make frequent appearances.
CW: gore, blood, violence.
NEW SCAN: Guilty Gear X SLASH Encyclopedia. Thank you to
@DizzyRobo
for sending me a copy of this to scan. Standard guidebook fair in this one, but it has an interesting fanart gallery and some other unique stuff.
@DustloopWiki
The Dustloop Wiki was an invaluable resource/reference for rewriting (and citing!) pages on the new wiki. The world would be a lesser place without your help and the efforts of Dustloop editors. You honor us ๐๐๐
All my Sol Dadguy drawings + bonus Sin (because I only had 3 Dadguy drawings...). I need to draw them together more, it's fun drawing Sol happy for once
Had to scrape the bottom of the barrel finding a single not-GG piece I liked to put on here. The way I pose models got a little better this year, but I want to try working on more dynamic poses in 2024
I still sometimes get nice comments on this Jack-O' even though it's a few years old now. It's not my most technically impressive illustration, but I tried something different with it and I still like it
Johnny's last name isn't Sfondi (fan mistranslation from ~2003) and his line with Sol in this graphic was a typo and should be "Up your game." Seeing both of these passed around as canon a lot lately with his recent addition to Strive, but they are only minor fan mistakes.
I've gotten so many new followers since the last time I posted mature art on here. That emoji in my name isn't a joke. You WILL wake up and see Sol Badguy buckass naked one day. It's how I weed out the weak, keep the rent down, etc
