#2. yokoyama emphasized how bunched-up and bulky the old jacket was

My take on Shishido's beta design as described by Yokoyama in the behind-the-scenes video from last week!

#yakuza #like a dragon #like a dragon gaiden #rgg #ryu ga gotoku #kosei shishido #shishido kosei #my art #original #emphasis on My Take because yokoyama was gesturing more than verbally describing what it looked like but #from what i can tell it had raglan sleeves like this which ended at the elbows #the idea was scrapped because Who The Fuck Would Make A Puffer Like This #but it lives on in my heart o7 #also the jacket was almost certainly on a children's jacket in versace's barocco line so i wanted to keep the vibe #he's not actually supposed to be zipped-up because yokoyama and mb talk about his necklace at length BUT: #1. you can see the raglan much more clearly this way #2. yokoyama emphasized how bunched-up and bulky the old jacket was #3. ehh to put it simply shishido himself is a trigger for me at this point so i needed to minimize how much i studied his face #whenever i finish this i'll probably add his bracelet because there was a lot of discussion about the material of his jewelry #all of that aside. i'm happy this was my final piece of the year :) happy new year everyone
