Clarification on Testament's gender because I've gotten a few comments about calling them "he" in this video: Testament was always written to be nonbinary in some fashion starting all the way back in GG1 in 1998, where they were written to be both male and female. This was confirmed by Daisuke in a newsletter from the time of the game's release. The Guilty Gear series has historically had some spotty translations over the years, and Testament is one such case. Because of their appearance and voice (at least, their voice after GG1), the localizers mistakenly referred to them as male (this isn't an isolated incident, Justice is also called "he" in that game). This stems from the fact that Japanese rarely if ever uses pronouns to refer to people, and the studio probably didn't give them many notes to prevent easy mistakes like that. By the time more accurate translations came out in later games, the common understanding was that Testament was male and just sometimes called "they" because you can do that in English. Even the Dustloop page called them "he/him," lol. Testament also skipped out on Xrd, which is where a majority of the English speaking fanbase first jumped onto the series, so they didn't have a modern appearance with a proper translation. By the time of Strive, Testament considers themself genderless, and still goes by "they," now accurately translated in-house. This video was made 7 months before the reveal trailer, so I was still writing under the assumption that Testament was male. To be clear, I have no issue with nonbinary people or anything related to that stuff; if I wrote this today, I'd refer to them with neutral pronouns.
Hey, non-binary person here. Thats completely fair and I also thought for ages that Testament was Male based on the given translations and assumptions. The video is amazing by the way! ❤
Guilty Gear really is one of the most lived in fighting games of all time. Every character has goals and motivations. They all have clashing worldviews and contradicting lifestyles. It's mysterious but familiar, chaotic but calm. It looks like how Metal sounds like.
Guilty Gear is proof that if you have an idea for a work of art or a story or anything at all that you're really passionate about, you should just say "fuck it" and make it with all the passion you can muster.
Daisuke's art is always so nice to look at. One of my favourites is actually his most recent work to commemorate season 3 of Strive. Sol and Ky look awesome in that drawing
God I got into guilty gear this year thanks to woolie's summary of the series and jesus christ it's one of the best pieces of fiction I have ever seen. I also feel like everyone has a character that they can relate to/vibe with (mine is axl), thanks to ishiwatari's great character writing.
I always love the Guilty Gear art where the characters are doing mundane things or doing nothing important at all. The characters of Guilty Gear are always so bombastic and striking that seeing them in such normal situations feels really special. The one of Dizzy getting dressed in a very mundane outfit with Necro next to her is one of my favorites.
Daisuke is one of my greatest creative influences and I strive to be like him, not to stand in his shadow, but to show the world the art and characters I have and share the love of stories I have with the rest of the world.
Weird to think he could have ended up just making shooting games, wonder how his life would have turned out. Glad he did, his work is amazing and immaculate, honestly astounding.
damn, I never knew Daisuke was the illustrator behind all those pieces. now that I do it gives me a sort of feeling that as I sit down to draw his characters while listening to his music and thinking about his games I'm sharing in a part of his vision and that as I slowly work on the little fighting game that I'm making it somewhat follows in the same path as Guilty Gear and other ArcSys games that I love. thanks for making such an incredible video running through his artworks and method as an illustrator
12:15 This is the reason why I fell DEEPLY in love with this series. I bought every single game on steam, listen to the soundtrack of pretty much all the games endlessly, finding new things to love in each one, drawn some characters here and there, and recently I've even started a little passion project where I write a short story and dedicate it to every single playable character in the series! Every single character in the entire series has so much charm and personality, they ooze so much uniqueness and originality that I feel like you could make a game revolve around any of them and it would be just as good. It's not perfect, but it's such a mesmerizing and compelling world to me, and I simply can't ever get enough of it.
@@TheCellarTaigenMoon So far I only really started writing Faust's story (my favorite character), but I do mean it when I say I'll write for every playable character. Wish me luck!
@@memorableman3709 I'm a bit late here but that's actually really sick! Is there anywhere to read said stories? I'm really curious since Faust's my favorite character too :) Also, best of luck!
Gulity gear’s art is so beautiful in a sense I want to study. As an artist myself, I’m not to proud of my work. But seeing art like this is what inspires me. I wish to strive things such as this.
You can, just keep at it. From one fellow aspiring artist to another, dont give up. We all started somewhere anf if the ones that inspire us all can do amazing things like this then so can all of us, we just have to put in the effort as well
leaving another comment here because I just love your content and the effort you put into these and I want to see them do better. I really liked this one as GG is one of my favorite series and the way Daisuke draws pretty clearly not only displays the aspects of the characters that are key but also bleed off some of his own philosophy and personality, those are always my favorite kinds of things
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed, I wish the GG art books were still officially available. I had to get mine through a third party seller, but it's really worth it for how gorgeous the artwork is
Oh that's funny, yeah you're right. Araki is absolutely influenced by Greek sculpture and has referenced it many times in his art, I just used a Renaissance reference as an example and never thought about it, lol
I feel a bit late but i just got Strive a few days ago after getting into Guilty Gear as a whole and the series has probably become my favorite fighting game series ever. There's so much i could say about it, but ill just say that my favorite character is either Faust or Bedman, and that makes some of the art all the better
This video was incredible, I was only expecting some goofy look at the character designs, but this was so much better! It was truly beautiful how you want through and picked apart the drawings showing what makes them work. I look forward to seeing more of your content
I can see why Daisuke would deny that he took inspiration from any other artists because the works that he made himself really do look like something truly there own and maybe the he may have been influenced but im sure there is a ton of artists out there that he's seen that he also likes and is maybe taken just a tiny bit of influence from everyone of them. I wouldn't say he would be inspired by jojos though because that just doesn't sound right. His art seems to only have curves in regards to line of actions but Daisuke's art seems to be vary angular and curvy when he does it. Daisuke's art in general also seems to always have tons of implied rectangles and squares while Jojos tends to mostly consist of tons of implied circles with occasionally have something rectangular or square in it but sometimes there is a way he draws the body to be rectangular at times. I find Daisuke's art truely cool and one of the best because his designs always tend to have tons of implied rectangles with lots of curves and in general has very angular designs when he makes his characters with details that actually look meaningful. I mention the detail parts because there's tons of anime designs out there have lots of details but they tend to always never add to the character it's just there and i mostly mean that as in the accessories they wear. Oh ya great video also
7:15 Hearing "Regret" from Malice Mizer as you analyze a Testament illustration is something I've never thought I'd find around TH-cam haha! Nice vid! You really analyzed it amazingly
I love this video, thank you for making it and showing the amazing art of Daisuke Ishiwatari. Now if you'll excuse me I'm just gonna stare at some pretty pictures
Insanely good video. As a big fan of Strive and its bombastic approach to gameplay I find myself forgetting that I fell in love with the art, style and music long before its gameplay. Thank you for reminding me that!
Amazing video!! I liked that you really went into what makes old guilty gear art feel the way it does I initially picked up Strive for the gameplay, but finding all this art got me interested in the world and lore of GG in a way strive wasn't able to (P.S. when I get around to making my Rev 2 video you should definitely make an appearance if that offer is still on the table!)
Wow this video was incredible. Daisuke's art is likely my biggest inspiration. I absolutely loved how in depth you went into his compositions and choices made in each piece. So many videos just compare the art to others and focus on how "cool" it is. Have yet to see someone explain why it looks so cool until now. Would love to see another video of his evolution as an artist. While the team is much larger and strive doesn't have the same amount of promotion art as the earlier entries, it would still be cool to see the progress he made as an artist. I honestly just want to stare at high quality scans of his work for hours.
Yo, i loved your video. I'm an artist myself, trying to learn and study alone most of time, while i balance with my other career (i'm a historian). And, i'm in really deep love with Ishiwatari's work, he's a really great inspiration for me, and watching this video just made me more happy to take inspiration on him. Someday i want to have his composition and perspective knowledge, and inspire other people just like he did to me. Overall, great video mate, i'm in love with your work! Please, make more videos about video-game art/artists!
@@TheCellarTaigenMoon oh i loved the Shinkiro one! Need to see that one from Amano! Would love to see something from Yoji Shinkawa or perhaps, Ashley Wood from you!
Great vid man Is there anywhere we can see all the images used here in their full glory? There're quite a few in the video that I've never seen before and more Daisuke art is always welcome
A large large majority of them can be found in the art book "Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007" which you can find at archive.org/details/artworks-of-guilty-gear-x-2000-2007-english (This link is also the first time this book has been translated into English so it's pretty cool)
I haven't followed Guilty Gear for many years, but I feel like the emotions and style of the first few games (before Xrd) have lost much of the emotion that were portrayed in this video. However I feel like that emotion has been transferred perfectly to the Blazblue. Blazblue's characters even down to its last entry are tinged or surrounded by dark events of their past with no hope for the future. While GG Strive made me think of the whole cast as if they were trying to be Avengers or something... To be fair, while I'm aware of most of GG's story, I'm more intimately connected with Blazblue's story since I bought every game and played all of its story. The GG games I mostly read synopsis or saw cutscenes for each.
Guilty Gear has overall been really good about showing characters progressing through different phases of their lives, so it's understandable that the feeling of the older games would be lost. Daisuke definitely puts a lot of himself into it, and I can imagine that as he gets older, he wants his characters to change with him
I think a lot of the emotion got transferred to other aspects, there are over 700 win quotes in xrd and while a lot of them are humorous there is a ton of great stuff in there, and they're much better than the x games win quotes. One quote from Dizzy to Chipp shows her relating to him since he usually wins his battles because he fights to live, which makes sense considering both of their backgrounds are about tenacity in the face of cruel adversity. Dizzy being born a crime and Chipp being born a homeless child who grew up on the streets and became a drug addict. Also the music in strive uses both lyrics and more importantly song writing to convey emotions and feelings that are not possible in any other medium but music
Most of it can be found in various places online like the GG wiki and imgur albums. I also own one of the Guilty Gear art books which compiles much of it chronologically. Just a quick search for Daisuke Ishiwatari's art will get loads of examples. Glad you enjoyed :)
Yeah I absolutely ADORE all the art for the series,it's actually what I like the most about the series like I sir down for hours just looking at daiuskes drawings and even try redrawing my self. Though strive seems to be lacking in artwork like the cover too is a huge downgrade compared to the other ggs
If you weren't aware already, there's an old GG art book called Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007 that was recently translated by fans and is up on Archive .org. It's full of really interesting and funny comments from Daisuke himself
Technically online, but most if not all of it can be found on the Guilty Gear wiki as well as a few art books which have been uploaded in their entirety to places like Internet Archive. Search up "Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007" and you should find it
Oh no worries, Testament used to get translated as male because pronouns are weird in Japanese, and most of the English speaking audience was under the impression they were male. It wasn't until Strive when they were reintroduced that people outside of Japan became aware of their actual gender
@@TheCellarTaigenMoon Alright but what if he was born in America. Then he moved to Africa and became the president of all Africa... Then he started teaching all the Africans Japanese.......
Testament was frequently translated as being male to the point the English speaking community almost unanimously referred to them as such (including Dustloop) for years, that was my understanding until their reveal in Strive like a year after I made this
![The Cellar [Taigen Moon]](http://yt3.ggpht.com/ytc/AIdro_mQIp6Pr_vt4USgIuJg9CYYz0EsUa9-K6R20uaTSBjeVQ=s48-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj)

@@TheCellarTaigenMoon ok ,but the way you structured that sentence made it sound like it does
7:20 their*
They're non binary not male.

@@TheCellarTaigenMoon Havent they always been like that though? The old videos i saw described them as unknown gender. If im wrong, im sorry.
Oh no worries, Testament used to get translated as male because pronouns are weird in Japanese, and most of the English speaking audience was under the impression they were male. It wasn't until Strive when they were reintroduced that people outside of Japan became aware of their actual gender
@@TheCellarTaigenMoon That makes sense actually, i started with Strive so i just assumed its how theyve always been.
Technically it is how they've always been lol. Even Dustloop called them a he before they came back

@@TheCellarTaigenMoon fair but they have been using they/them canonicaly before strive
Testament was frequently translated as being male to the point the English speaking community almost unanimously referred to them as such (including Dustloop) for years, that was my understanding until their reveal in Strive like a year after I made this
