We’ve received word that Mod Black has received all merch! All that’s left is for the zine copies to arrive before packing and shipping of the orders begin!
Another one of TGAA Swap AU designs here!! This time i'm refining designs for Swap!Asogi and Swap!Naruhodo because they were not giving more thought last time I designed them, so here ya go finally!!
I might planning to refine Albert's and Barok's design next, designing Naruhono prosecutor outfit making me missing them honestly- (and they're the reasons why this AU existed anyway so I have to-).
Check down below to see bunch of my thoughts and rambles when I was designing them.
I've been thinking it would be a fun detail to gave Kazuma's hair a cartoony like with original Naruhodo design, that is also why he have a sharp tip on top of his hair so it will go opposite direction of where he is facing everytime he turn his head around.
In half way of doing concept sketches for Naruhodo's hair it just ended up clicking to me that I have to gave him a phoenix like ponytail, I was like 'oh yeaaah, duh!' for not thinking of that sooner 😭
Though I was originally thought of giving him fox mask, I also thought it would be neat to given Naruhodo a mouse mask instead as it referencing to his original mascot!
I was thinking of giving Kazuma glasses but I have to scratch that as he will ended up look similar to Hosonaga.
I gave a tiny details on Naruhodo's prosecutor outfit, you could've guess what it is sjbsjs
I wanted to put Kazuma's archery bracer on his right hand as I want him to be left handed in this, but I have to throw that idea away sadly :'
EDIT: realizing perhaps this video is not as ubiquitously known as i thought it was and also (judging by the fact that the post has way more notes than the video has views) nobody's clicking on the yt link (and therefore not reading the credit in the description) so i'd like to take a moment to direct everyone to the original video this is based on by BugOlively. im so obsessed with it that i made this whole fuckin thing. please watch the original also. they chose the poses/stock photos and the music and animated it. i just gave it a coat of paint <3
recent observation: kazuma's armband is loose on ryunosuke in all his sprite animations, because kazuma is more muscular than he is......the level of detail in this game is INSANE.
but beyond that, i also wanna point out that the armband is noticeably adjustable:
he keeps it as kazuma's size by choice.....i'm so normal
