Hunting Dogs
Bungou Stray Dogs <Chapter 60>
It's been a long time since I've done a coloring, I hope you think I still have the spark (?

Low key the hunting dogs are so much further detached from humanity than I think we give them credit for.
Aside from the obvious dehumanizing of themselves to characters like Sigma or Kunikida, they also just treat their bodies like objects.
Teruko punctures her own eardrums without hesitation to protect her brain.
Jouno’s first thought when being lit on fire is using his blood to cool the flames.
Tecchou says that even if they knock him down from the helicopter, he’ll just use his sword to get right back up, not even mentioning the pain.
Tachihara stabs himself with his own ability to keep his cover. When the coin bomb explodes in his hand, he’s only mildly upset that it could’ve “messed him up”, before going back to what he was doing.
Fukuchi was willing to be the centerpiece of his plot for world peace, and intentionally took the blame. It’s no mistake that his plan included his death.
Beyond all that, Teruko describes them as slaves to society. Tachihara (and I think Fukuchi also does this) refers to them as the fangs of the government.
One of the translations of Fukuchi’s speech to Fukuzawa while he’s being interrogated is that the Hunting Dogs won’t rest until they catch their prey because that’s how they were designed.
Idk just something abt the silly dog soldiers and their own humanity. Not questioning it, that’s not their place. They already know that they’re weapons.

wip that i'm gonna redraw yayayay 🎉
the original idea was Hunting Dogs handing out Chinese New Year hongbao to each other, Tachihara gets one from everyone for being the youngest and most junior member, and Teruko hands out hongbao to everyone because she's old, right?
But then she smiles super cheerily and asks (threatens) everyone else that isn't Commander Fukuchi where her hongbao is, cuz she's the 'youngest' and why haven't they given her any??
They have to do it. Begrudgingly. Jouno hates it. He makes it well known by only putting 100¥ in her packet. They fight over it.
Tachihara gets out of giving her one because she's 'feeling nice' but he gives her one anyway. (that was the plan) (he gives her much more than Jouno, he is now in her good graces) (Tecchou doesn't really follow the celebration and just hands her cash, no red packet)
(I just thought it was funny :) )

Idk why I’m so scared of the sudden change in my art style ??? On one hand it allows for more subtlety in expression and character based aspects but on the other hand can ppl even recognize me anymore lmao. What if I’ve traded my own individuality for basic skill

Every person wants time, needs time when they can be alone. They need a world that only they know about. Without that, nobody can go on living. That is what our minds are. As long as we don’t express thoughts out loud, nobody will know of them, right?
