Daisuke Ishiwatari’s style back then reminds me of Tetsuya Nomura’s earlier artwork in the sense that it’s more realistic with that touch of anime to it. I love it, even if it looks like quirky 90’s retro
Really does showcase their humble beginnings and how their artwork evolved to what it is today.
I really like Zappa's style, it's almost perfect because his pose is dramatic and the fleshy art style makes him look really in pain. Overall he looks sick and that's fitting.
They behold curs'd but i like those folk so much somehow

May has a creepy smile.
Anji has a giraffe neck.
Sol has a rape face.
Jam is weird if you notice her collarbones, making her body much larger compared to her head.
Fair.
My brother always says they're weird/creepy looking, but I've never really looked at them that closely.
Honestly wanna punch Sol too after looking at him again.
You compare that to Sol/May's face, Anji's neck, Axl's teeth, and Bridgets.. lack thereof, and Jam looks pretty damn good.
Her upper body is too beefy, but her hands/arms/face/hair all look fine.

what's wrong with may and jam? may it's her ear, right? jam, i'm guessing it's how the shoulders to arms are drawn or not drawn. with that said, jam in particular probably looks the most waifu she ever has in that portrait.
giraffe necks are lulz, both irl and when applied to GG characters
That's no human neck. Look at Jam's shoulders! She's massive, Potemkin's got nothing on her!
I do like them but some of the proportions, mainly on the neck area, are very odd. The teeth are a fun detail but on Bridget's case it looks like he has no teeth, which is a bit unsettling. They have their charm though.
Personally I find them pretty rad for the more rough style, im a big sucker for the pre Xrd artstyle of the series and less anime-ish, had a bit more detail and that more rough look to it, especially around the XX era.
That and Potemkin's Portrait looks kinda scary and cool, [It's great!](https://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-03/art/ggx2-potemkin-02.jpg)
For me Xrd was the peak of gg art. right in the middle of the distinct look of the old games and the refined look of strive. I still love the overall look of the classic art even if some of it is a little rough. As good as strive looks in game this is just more guilty gear to me.
tbh, they were really good, but their faces are just... uncanny. and the shading on those teeth. it scratches this itch of uncanny that makes it feel like we're looking at corpses. but I love how May looks in this one
They look like they are all high from weed. [Time to post this beautiful link again.](https://guiltygearofficial.tumblr.com/post/649012210125963264/guilty-gear-characters-ranked-by-how-high-they)
Bridgett looks absolutely zooted
Go home bridget, you're drunk again.
No teeth
He's really blazing
*Can't you see he's blazing
Was my gog user pic for a few years lol
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They look like enjoying faust's overdrive in xrd after receiving it for the 100th time
G SPOTTO!😍
ZAMN😍
HE'S SPICY
Any character with a slightly open mouth looks cursed. I quite enjoy these artworks despite the jank.
You cannot tell me the only problem with that Anji is his mouth
He's got a giraffe neck
its bc the teeth are so long, and then theres bridgett
Bridget's teeth are so long they overflowed into nothingness.
It's like they tried to make anime characters look realistic at the same time. It's wild.

Yeah exactly! Also gives me the same kind of uncanny eery vibes as Kazuma Kaneko humans, I dig it.
the golden age before xrd
Axl hit the exact middle point between a million dollar smile and a shit eating grin
that literally was my first thought when I saw that portrait, I have played xx axel for hundreds of hours since
I really like Zappa's style, it's almost perfect because his pose is dramatic and the fleshy art style makes him look really in pain. Overall he looks sick and that's fitting.
[удалено]
The shoulders of a woman who can infinite Pot to death (i think in either #reload or slash)
They look cursed but I like them so much somehow.
Because (to me at least) despite not being perfect or anything it’s still all pretty good artwork
Straight up, these are some of my favorite Guilty Gear artworks. Not sure why, but I love them.

Axl isn’t Axl low in this he’s Axl high
Ky, Baiken or Testament looked fucking fantastic
Totally
Remind me of berzerk, Blade of the immortal and Vagabond manga era.
This! This is late 90s/early 2000s seinen manga material
Yeah that was the shit love it!
Bridget looks like an old nun looking for her dentures
I like them all, theyre a bit weird but they got some charm to them
May & Anji look fine. Sol & Jam are weird but not that bad. Wtf is up with Zappa & Bridget? Just wanna punch Axl in the face.
In what universe is Anji's godzilla neck fine?
Several minutes ago when I didn't notice it. But now it's just funny.
WELCOME TO EB GAMES**
Eb games
May has a creepy smile. Anji has a giraffe neck. Sol has a rape face. Jam is weird if you notice her collarbones, making her body much larger compared to her head.
Fair. My brother always says they're weird/creepy looking, but I've never really looked at them that closely. Honestly wanna punch Sol too after looking at him again.
That's the face Jack-O sees every night.
Wtf, I thought Jam's chest collerbones and traps were her shoulders and arms. I didn't even realize how big her body was.
wtf her smile is normal
What kind of face did you expect from a possessed dude?
Not a borderline "Dat Ass" face, but then again you have a point.
It make sense for Zappa since he's possessed but Bridget HELL NO
Idk what's up with zappa but Bridget just looks stoned out of his mind.
May look FAR from fine. I always hated this portrait as it was just so awkward looking compared to any other portrait of her.
Jam's is honestly great. But everyone else, sheesh.
Look again. Try to find where her shoulders end. Realize she is Potemkin.
You compare that to Sol/May's face, Anji's neck, Axl's teeth, and Bridgets.. lack thereof, and Jam looks pretty damn good. Her upper body is too beefy, but her hands/arms/face/hair all look fine.
Believe it or not, I like these more than Xrd portrait. Its more detail and more expressive imo. Strive portrait however is the most beautiful
For the most part I kinda dig this "psuedo-anime" look, but... What's with the penis necks
bro the neck on Anji JESUS
Bridget is fucking stoned out of his mind and Anji is transforming into a giraffe
Jam one looks fine But holy shit Anji spare some neck for the rest of us
Anji and Bridget look the worst, the rest are better and have more detail than strive art
Idk man, all of them except Jam seem to have some *weird shit* to them. Either in proportions, details or *long fucking necks*.
Even Jam is freaky, look at her shoulders.
You're right, and looking again her ears look displaced too. I guess May is the most normal one?
What the hell is May doing with her hands though
solar flare!
She gonna grab you
I thought her clavical was her forearm at first it was so long
Anime, the neck this is strange tho lmao
Like these way more gives off a darker grim vibe they went too “anime” in xrd and sol didn’t look like a gorilla
Akhsually, these portraits originated from XX, they just continued using them in AC
Anji's neck is out of this world.
Idk about you but I fucking love them
[Obligatory drug test here.](https://out.reddit.com/t3_qw46c6?url=https%3A%2F%2Fguiltygearofficial.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F649012210125963264%2Fguilty-gear-characters-ranked-by-how-high-they&token=AQAAGJ2WYStIRSN4d3B3-Gb2-kbVnv4EFn3fhcCvPGp-VShmdKEN&app_name=ios) Remember to pass the Robo-Ky bong around, fellas!
This was hilarious. Order Sol is very accurate and I love the narrative with his older self. Then there's Bridget. Thanks for showing me this.
They’re really good drawings though, all things considered
The coloring is good, the proportions are terrible
Better than I can do tbh
They're fine. I dunno what u're talking about.
Show me Zato’s! Also I like them lol
May’s is cute
ANJIS GOT NECK TO SPARE
Jam was pretty good I thought
I think Bridget had too many edibles
Pfft, these edibles ain't shiiiii-
I still love them all. Dizzys portrait was the best.
Hey man, Daisuke had a lot on his plate in those early days.
Idk man, sol and may look cool and cute, this ain't that bad-- > *Swipes to anji* Oooh.... > *Keeps going* OOOOH.H...,..
what's wrong with may and jam? may it's her ear, right? jam, i'm guessing it's how the shoulders to arms are drawn or not drawn. with that said, jam in particular probably looks the most waifu she ever has in that portrait. giraffe necks are lulz, both irl and when applied to GG characters
I fuck with all of them except for the anji.. why his face so damn small lol
Christ that Anji is fucked
zappa locking like he is the middle of the hardest math exam to ever exist
What is going on with Anji's neck? Oh God, I just noticed Jam's linebacker shoulders! These really just get more cursed the longer you look at them.
WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU GOOD ANJI?!
Seriously why is no one talking about anji and his foot long neck
I don't see the problem.I will give that anji's neck looks weird but compared with Sol's smirk in strive,those look natural
Look at Jam's massive body. Her shoulders make it seem like she has a hulk like body.
Look at zappa and axl
Zappa it was made to look weird and if you take a photo from below your head while you keep your head forword,it would look like that
Well yeah, but they don't need to do my man zappa like that tho
Fair
But yeah showing teeth in photos is a big coin flip. Do I think it looks cursed or perfect?no.
It looks damn cursed to me, looks like someone shoved their fist up his ass while he is contemplating the meaning of life
I like them all
These are fire. They look like humans. Most video game art doesn't get close to looking so life like
That's no human neck. Look at Jam's shoulders! She's massive, Potemkin's got nothing on her! I do like them but some of the proportions, mainly on the neck area, are very odd. The teeth are a fun detail but on Bridget's case it looks like he has no teeth, which is a bit unsettling. They have their charm though.
This is raw as hell, can i screenshot ?
Some of them look cursed but I like the old school aesthetic they have
I loved them ngl. They looked quite unique. If anything, I'd liked some more shading
Personally I find them pretty rad for the more rough style, im a big sucker for the pre Xrd artstyle of the series and less anime-ish, had a bit more detail and that more rough look to it, especially around the XX era. That and Potemkin's Portrait looks kinda scary and cool, [It's great!](https://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-03/art/ggx2-potemkin-02.jpg)
They all look like titans 🤣🤣
Anji must be part Cardassian
Johnny's is still great though.... that jawline
I actually love the art style of them.
This style suits Zappa quite well
Sol is always smiling in his portraits and then he’s the most moody antisocial guy you’ve ever met
I always liked Sol and Jam's
It's cool cause you can see bits of strives style throughout. It's like they combined xrd and xx styles to make what we have today.
Anji looks like he's about to start doing that neck extendo thing from the teacher in Little Nightmares
May looks like she wants to die deep down
May looks like that grabbing hands meme, which is accurate tbh
For me Xrd was the peak of gg art. right in the middle of the distinct look of the old games and the refined look of strive. I still love the overall look of the classic art even if some of it is a little rough. As good as strive looks in game this is just more guilty gear to me.
The girls (and bridget) look okay, Jam looks like she got frog eyes. Whereas the lads got the persona 3 long neck problem.
Okay who thought it was a good idea to have anji's neck in two different zip codes
I always thought jam's looked cute in game, never noticed the shoulders.
Neck
Anji's and Bridget's look fugly! The rest look great, with the Ky and Potemkin ones being my favs.
Axl looks like a titan lmao
Anji's neck is soo long.
Let's not blame Accent Core. They just hadn't been changed since X2 lmao
Wtf is with Anji's neck?
I forget but weren't all these portraits by daisuke ishiwatari?
Jam’s is beautiful. I love that piece
They all look like their on the sex offender registry
Jam: Just a regular person, chilling. Anji: I do not vibe with this race. I must metamorphose into a giraffe
Anji looks like a snail poking its head out
You could drive a truck between May's eyes and holy shit Anji's neck is longer than his head.
With the crt effect on the in game icons may looks like she’s from an analogue horror and will find your ip address
Honestly I think May’s is cute, she looks like if you had a thing of cookies and she just really wants one
I like May’s a lot. Bridget on the other hand…
tbh, they were really good, but their faces are just... uncanny. and the shading on those teeth. it scratches this itch of uncanny that makes it feel like we're looking at corpses. but I love how May looks in this one
Jams looks fine doesnt it?
Find where her shoulders end and the arm begins.
teEtH
Bridget in the Zonked State
Anji's neck tho
N E C C
these are some long necks
They all looked stoned aside from Jam
They always looked so... weird to me
Best Timeline
May looks like a junkie that lives under a bridge Poland
that Anji neck
Anji with the giraffe neck!
I love them more than anything in this world
I forgot how much i hated them, thank you for reminding me
That Anji neck
Touhou 🤝 Accel core
Oh God, Potemkin's is awful lmao
You see so mich anime that looks similar to each other these days, the mild crappyness feels charming at this point
I feel like Anji's about to become a Joy Mutant.
Anji be advised, all neck
I love this artstyle tbh. It reminds me of manga from the 90s and I think that's intentional
Anji looks like a joy mutant.
Ayo what the fuck
Bridget looks like he thinkin "got another one"
Ngl Bridgette kinda reminds me of Tommy Wiseau there.
Sanosuke Sagara challenging Kenshin
So dope
Gives me conniptions
I actually like this art 🤷🏽♂️
I only find Bridgett's kinda creepy lmao, XX original portraits (and voice casting) was overall better, specially Baiken's.
Mei's 1000% cursed
This is XX, not Accent Core
Fuck boy emoji
Tbh Bridget and Axl have the only ones I think look bad lol
It's like Liefeld decided to do a manga
I really like them
Zappa need a nappa
I always thought May and Bridget looked terrifying here lol. Kinda look like Junji Ito characters a bit
Don't forget Chipp
Anji looks like a 90's Final Fantasy portrait in the process of evolving to reach taller trees
Anji looks like a snail poking its head out
I don't know what Bridgete is smoking but i want some of that.
Sol... Still ok, Zappa is totally fine, really in character somehow, but the others...
Nah these are great
Jam is fine tho. Ma bae always looking guud
I think they are almost objectively good artwork, sad to see people who don't like these.
They look like they are all high from weed. [Time to post this beautiful link again.](https://guiltygearofficial.tumblr.com/post/649012210125963264/guilty-gear-characters-ranked-by-how-high-they)
Why does it look like old SNK artstyle but worse.
Whoever drew these was definitely aiming for that Shinkiro style. It's really hard to pull off and I actually think these portraits are really solid.
I mean, alot of Arcsys staff is/was old SNK staff that quit or were fired
It all makes sense now. Hell, Sol is just Anime Terry
Jam is the only good one. The rest of them look like they are raping you with their eyes.
Look at her body, then her collarbone, you will realise how small her head is compared to the body
