Since this is a fighting game, the characters are often portrayed as independent, and the image of the game tends to be dominated by human drama. However, this work is a fantasy, and the characters have their own stage in which to breathe. Aside from the fact that it is again centered on Sol, I would like to present this kind of world from time to time.

Sol Badguy promotional trading card art and pencil sketch for Guilty Gear XX Art Works. Art and caption scanned from Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007 by Daisuke Ishiwatari.

#guilty gear #guilty gear xx #sol badguy #fighting games #video game art #I'm not sure what GGXX Art Works is #It isn't one of the other art books so I think maybe Daisuke meant it's just trading card art for GGXX's TCG? .#guilty gear scans #This took me like two weeks to clean. I had to redraw almost the entire gutter from low res scans lol #I'll reblog this after it posts with a pic of what I had to work with #But this post is queued so it might take me a sec if I'm doing other stuff #The caption for this was hard to translate and I may come back and redo it later #Daisuke is saying that the characters all kind of have their own thing going on wrt their story arcs #and that the setting itself doesn't often get a chance to be explored since the stories are usually about the characters #Compare to RP games like Skyrim where the map/world itself tells a story too #It's harder for a fighting game like GG to do something like that since each map is only a small slice of the setting #Though. this isn't to say those small slices don't tell significant stories it's just that it can't explore them as deeply #my translations #EDIT: I FORGOT THE PENCIL SKETCH #my scans #AND A TAG
