And here we have some sketches from my recent finishing of Bungou Stray Dogs! Chibi-ified! AAaayyy!
-And since I’ve been learning Japanese for the last wee while, I can add captions in hiragana! ‘laughs in “Ohayou! Chibi~san!” “CHIBI~JANAI!!”- I technically spelt ohayou as ohaiyo in my sketch book but we’re just going to ignore that-
I’ve been trying to figure out how to draw a few of the main characters, but Dazai... I don’t know what it is about his face, but my brain is simply unable to comprehend proportions when I try draw him. Like. Chuuya. Is FInE! I can draw him with minimal effort! (When I say minimal, I mean the average amount of effort for copying an anime character-) Atsushi is also achievable! (I honestly haven’t drawn many of the other characters,- Ranpo is on my ‘going to try next’ list though,) But Dazai Osamu?!!! It just doesn’t work??
I have spent two weeks. Two Weeks. Trying to get this guys face right... And I managed it. Twice. Out of like, -I don’t even know how many attempts.
*sighs in ‘rant over’
Anyway! It took a few months, -well a couple of weeks for seasons 3-4- but I finished watching Bungou Stray Dogs and story aside, I really like the clothes. Like, if I were ever to do a cosplay it would be from this anime. (TRENCHCOATS!!!~~~) from a character design/drawing standpoint, I really like Dazai, -even if I can’t really get his face right-. In a strictly, ‘I would never want to meet this kind of person in real life,’ kind of way. And a ‘I like characters with trench coats’ side to it as well.
