beloved patriarch (inspired by the lower mv)

#yakuza #arasawa #sawashiro jo #jo sawashiro #arakawa masumi #masumi arakawa #ichiban kasuga #kasuga ichiban #mitsuo yasumura #<- baby's first mitsuo #even if just in the background! #the other members of the family i just improvised on the spot. the important part was filling the space #yakuza like a dragon #yakuza 7 #ryu ga gotoku #ryu ga gotoku 7 #like a dragon #rgg #jichanart #had the sketch for this one in the wip folder for mooooonths it was crazy #but finally picked it back up #that song + mv just makes me so. yeah. yeah. #it's not a one to one comparison but #i really enjoy the storytelling in that mv so i wanted to use its aesthetics to express something i find interesting about arasawa #that being this dichotomy between the well loved arakawa and sawashiro who is... well... has his single minded devotion #in the mv the witch clearly has other people in her life and has all kinds of things going on #but the maid seems not to have anybody else. just on their own or with the witch and tuning everyone else out #and i wanted to use that imagery for arasawa #the person sawashiro lives for being surrounded by other people. and how he feels about that. #dedication and love inseparably entwined with this unsettling possessiveness and whatnot. his dedication as something isolating.
