Description To distract myself from what happened to my poor DS, I'm focusing my attention and energy on a Ginga doujinshi I had started way back when I had just finished watching the GDW anime. Here are the bad guys.

Inspired by ~Frodse 's beautiful gallery and lovely style.

Originally it was just Rosso and Nordend, but I've since added Rakurai, because I thought it would be an interesting concept.

Nordend
Male
St. Bernard/Bernese Mountain Dog/Irish Wolfhound mix

Rakurai
Male
Akita Inu
Red tora-ge

Rosso
Male
Spanish Mastiff

A doodle that I put a ridiculous amount of effort into coloring, and an experiment in using textures XD

Many thanks to =comixqueen for suggesting how to find a good name for Nordend

art and characters (c) meee!

Yesh, they wouldn't be the best doggies to run into

Even worse considering they're all large breeds

Though I must admit that I absolutely hate the ginga style, I really like the guy on the right. His markings are really appealing and I like his ears for some reason. xD

Who, Rosso?
Thanks ^^ I worked hard to design these characters

Yeah, the ginga style's not easy to love, especially if one's a fan of accurate animal anatomy

The bowed bottom jaw is what gets me. And the fact that none of the breeds of dogs look like the breed their meant to be except for the shiba inus. xD

( Hyena is supposed to be a weimaraner?! What the crap?! )

And nah, Nordend. LOL apparently I was dyslexic when I commented on this! I swear the illness I had yesterday knocked me out of my mind for a few hours!

Yeah, when I first saw an english version of the 3rd GDW manga in a comic store, my initial reaction to the style was "Jeez! Who would buy a manga all about dogs?! And all the dogs have the exact same facial expression! WTF?!"

Who knew I'd be a die-hard Ginga fan years later, and would be beating myself up for not buying those when I saw them

Yeah, I had a hard time getting used to the breed appearances, but Hyena's rag ears never did sit well with me

Lol, it's ok Slip ups happen.
Thanks! I'm particularly proud of Nordend's design! I'll get a full body sketch up soon, hopefully

[link] Hyena is supposed to be this! XD

Though I've actually only watched GDW and not even the whole thing. I stopped at like.. episode 15 or something around there. Weed's pansiness towards everyone except for Jerome kind of killed it. XD So he's a softy to everyone except his BFF, makes perfect sense!

Annnd, nifty. :3

Aww! Puppy! *saves that image*

That's not Hyena XDD

You've only watched a bit of the GDW anime?! Dude! You haven't lived!

First of all, character-wise, Gin's a million times more bearable than Weed. And he kicks a whole lot more butt.
Despite being older than I am, the GNG anime is definitely worth watching!

I'd only revisit GDW to see the characters I did like again; and to marvel at how amazingly animated some scenes are.
Towards the end of the anime, things get EPIC, especially the fight scenes. I've watched the final battle at least 9 times, that's how awesome it was.

Weed's overly naive attitude did make it hard to watch, but I kept watching, if only to find out what happened to my favorite tora-ge akita who was being held captive D8 I personally didn't give a crap about Weed.
He's not always so soft to everyone; and Kyoushiro get's pissed off about that in one of the later episodes.

Still, I'm proud to say I have the animes of both GNG and GDW under my belt and can attest to their awesome-ness

EEE! An Akita-Inu mix?!?! C'est possible? Well of course its possible...it's not like a cobra/Akita....*gets hit with stick* But yeah, it looks good! I like the texturing of the fur on Rakurai and the little tufts of fur coming off of Norend. What's the story behind his name anyways? -is sorry for the ridiculously long comment-
