Speaking of GG stuff! I'm going to try out XX with a friend tomorrow!

It's the same friend I played missing link with, send me your energy so I can beat her ass >:]

(We're equally matched. We both have the same amount of fighting game experience.)

((Which is none))

I think I will have to drop Sol Badguy and accept the fact I have no fuckin clue how to play him

I have changed to playing an even simpler character, Baiken. Only has 4 specials along with the two ults and some command moves

Also I found out her gun ult counters Bridgets little saw blade ult which I find extremely funny

I think the reason Guilty Gear in particular tends to resonate with trans people is because it consistently champions themes of recklessly being yourself and living freely. Obviously there's canonically genderqueer characters like Bridget and Testament and that representation draws queer people in, but the reason they're here in the first place is because of those themes.

The characters all have things they want to break free from, most often societal obligations, and many of them have succeeded in this by the time Strive takes place, having become happy, actualized people. When you listen to the soundtrack, you get rock ballad after rock ballad about wanting to do things your own way, and be yourself. At its very core, Guilty Gear is a game that's in love with the idea of people finding themselves. Heck, the main character has the word "free" literally written on his outfit.

It's more punk than Street Fighter, more optimistic than Mortal Kombat, more relatable than Tekken. And the music slaps, too.

Time to make an updated post on the Guilty Gear artwork I've made up to this point!

First things, gotta include Bridget and Elphelt since these were made this year in 2023. Baiken, Testement, and Giovanna were done back in 2022. I think I'd like to do a Jack-O illustration at some point, and a friend of mine wants to help fund a Ramlethal print, so those might be coming up in the future at some point.

I've made some updates to the chibis as well to include a handful of the male cast! A few noteworthy mentions include an Axl that was inspired by an animation that my friend DoovadHohdan made, a Potemkin that works as a Pot Buster when you use it as a sticker on another sticker, as well as the husbandos in general being paired with plushies of their partners (well, missing Nago and Elphelt because that wasn't a thing at the time)

A little after the Elphelt illustration I also made an Elphelt chibi as well! This one will be double-sided once I convert it to a charm~

Finally, a sneak peak at something that isn't Strive related...well, not yet, at least (maybe). Here's a value comp for an ABA illustration I'm working on based on her Accent Core design! Hoping she makes it into Strive at some point.

I might want to explore doing some Accent Core related artwork in the future. Accent Core is a lot closer to the point of when I first got into the series in my middle school/highschool days, and there are some designs from the older games that are still hecking rad. Plus the music is awesome :D

It's kind of funny; I have to confess that I actually don't play Strive. Truth be told, the GGST movement and limited combo structure never clicked with me when the game first came out (and I was always more of a 3D fighter guy for gameplay with games like Tekken and Soul Calibur). And even though I am pretty sure I would actually thoroughly enjoy playing I-No and Elphelt with the season 3 changes, I just don't really do as much gaming these days since I'm more enamored with making art (and a few other things like biking). Plus I'm kind of just waiting for Tekken 8 at this point (dear god I hope the online is good just this one time god).

But as an artist? You bet your butt I hecking love coming back to Guilty Gear. I've been a fan of the series since the early 2000s (back when I stumbled across an abandonware PC version of Guilty Gear X and became sold on the series). The characters from this series check a lot of boxes for things I love to draw, from the way they are designed and all of their classic rock references all the way down to their zany personalities and backstories. And I feel like Guilty Gear is really special in this regard for me. Even though I'd rather play other fighting games (like Tekken or maybe even SF6), Guilty Gear is probably the one fighting game fandom I want to do art of the most.

If you are a Guilty Gear fan stumbling across this art collection post, hope you are enjoying the art! I will enjoy the series vicariously through you as I get back to working on some Tekken 8 artwork for Frosty Faustings, lmao. And if you're someone who is new to the series, give Strive a try! It's neat and the characters are great.

The Trembling Transgirl of the week (Thursday) is...

Bridget from Guilty Gear! (canon transgirl)

Bridget made her first appearance in Guilty Gear X2, third game of the Guilty Gear series. Back then, she was presented as a boy who likes to dress cute, and basically was 'the cute character', to differ the games cast

(Bridget in Guilty Gear X2)

Bridget was born with her twin brother in a town where it was belived that two identical twins bring bad luck, so her parents have raised her as a female, which bridget didn't mind, but her parents were sad about it, so to make them happy she started to go hunting like a man.

In Guilty Gear Strive, after fulfilling her original goal, she starts to search for a new purpose. She comes to the realization that she doesn't want to be a man, and after some words of encouragement she announces that she is a girl.

When fighting, she uses her yo-yo and her oversized, mechanic teddy bear Roger, and that applies to all the guilty gear games she appears in

buh-bye!

And that's our Trembling Transgirl of this week (Thursday), see you again next week (Thursday)!
