Dream cosplay since Saint Seiya is one of my fave anime. But I pick Sasha than Saori because I love Lost Canvas than actual story by Kurumada. Sorry, Sensei ^^
It’s 11:30pm on Manigoldo’s birthday so I made it!! Happy birthday to that sexy sexy Cancer! And I’m throwing in Sage and Hakurei for their birthdays as well
So I have Manigoldo sketches for him I love his father-son relationship with Sage, and I really like the idea of him being a big brother figure to Shion :^)
First of all, I’m not a huge shipper lol, not that I dislike it because I definitely like to, I mostly gravitate to whatever’s popular. I don’t know why I just never feel compelled to draw much of any ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But I thought hard about it and picked out a bunch, in no particular order, that I actively like - as in I’ll give it a like or a reblog - anything else I’m pretty indifferent towards
Under the cut I’ll ramble about each one lol + some extra quick sketches for my favorite ones (warning: it’s long)
Dohko and Shion (old people hard to draw…): Okay this one I love a lot. The scene of their goodbyes in Lost Canvas and the Hades Chapter genuinely stirred my heart and the like, concept of them growing old for 200 years and still being in love… that makes my heart melt…
Shun and Hyoga: There’s a lot about… masculinity in saint seiya that make me roll my eyes, but Shun added a softness to him that I really appreciated
Marin and Shaina: They get so little interaction outside of interacting with Seiya that it’s kinda hard to tell what they’re like… But I really like seeing art of them!
DM and Aphrodite: These two are really fun. Deathmask in particular is just… a really fun character that I totally adore (He’s unapologetically a bad dude and that is very funny to me). There’s a ridiculousness and sweetness to these two that I really like lol, not much more to it! I also like the idea that they both garden together, hence the sketch ^
- Note about Shura: I like stuff with him included too! Especially with DM, however I find it especially difficult to ship him with anyone because of how… wishy-washy he is lol. His level of redeemability in some works makes it seem like he wouldn’t get along well with these two at all sometimes
Seiya and Saori: I have mixed feelings about the ship but the shouting each others names thing is equal parts charming and irritating to me lol
Kanon and Rhadamanthys: This one really comes out of nowhere lol I saw that there was quite a bit of art for it and it just hit different, it’s good stuff
El Cid and Sisyphus: Okay… out of all of these this one is my favorite. I absolutely adored LC and liked the deeper friendship between these two that the anime explored. I really really liked that they traveled together and love the idea that they’re overworked archeology partners (That’s right El Cid has his own notes and theories ) I think it’s very sweet. I actually do wanna draw art for them in the future
Camus and Milo: Epic divorced men… There’s an easy tragedy aspect you can apply to them that I think can be interesting - special shoutout to Kardia and Degel too for being the slightly better version of them lol
There’s this tumblr post about someone looking at flowers while high, and realizing that “gods could never love like humans because love is about survival” or something like that - and I think it’s a philosophy that could suit Athena and could explain why she reincarnates as a human at all
I’m usually not drawn to drawing ship art but @mequetrefis ‘s art of these two has me acting unwise - and my brother, who kept teasing me to post this
I also don’t think I’ll be able to post much until finals are done so I’m just throwing out not very serious or refined stuff like this for now
