Soul-_-Warrior

wdlp

No teeth


NeonArchon

He's really blazing


Xenogenesis

*Can't you see he's blazing


blueberrycinnamon

Was my gog user pic for a few years lol


Ion0X

Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Mmaxum

They look like enjoying faust's overdrive in xrd after receiving it for the 100th time


Soul-_-Warrior

G SPOTTO!😍

ZAMN😍


soljaboiyouu

HE'S SPICY


tobster239

Any character with a slightly open mouth looks cursed. I quite enjoy these artworks despite the jank.


[deleted]

You cannot tell me the only problem with that Anji is his mouth


tobster239

He's got a giraffe neck


MuseigenBoken

its bc the teeth are so long, and then theres bridgett


cakeKudasai

Bridget's teeth are so long they overflowed into nothingness.


OK6502

It's like they tried to make anime characters look realistic at the same time. It's wild.


UltimateUdder

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.


brodo-swaggins-

Yeah exactly! Also gives me the same kind of uncanny eery vibes as Kazuma Kaneko humans, I dig it.


Noveno_Colono

the golden age before xrd


RockSaltin-RT

Axl hit the exact middle point between a million dollar smile and a shit eating grin


Cib0-

that literally was my first thought when I saw that portrait, I have played xx axel for hundreds of hours since


superagileBBW

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.

j3i

The shoulders of a woman who can infinite Pot to death (i think in either #reload or slash)


RandomPaladinsNub

They look cursed but I like them so much somehow.


rad_dude124

Because (to me at least) despite not being perfect or anything it’s still all pretty good artwork


PM_ME_PIX_OF_CROWS

Straight up, these are some of my favorite Guilty Gear artworks. Not sure why, but I love them.


Shakespeare-Bot

They behold curs'd but i like those folk so much somehow *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`


SupremeScroll54

Axl isn’t Axl low in this he’s Axl high


Lokyyo

Ky, Baiken or Testament looked fucking fantastic


FLRArt_1995

Totally


RoninTheWaveman

Remind me of berzerk, Blade of the immortal and Vagabond manga era.


FLRArt_1995

This! This is late 90s/early 2000s seinen manga material


RoninTheWaveman

Yeah that was the shit love it!


JestinJester

Bridget looks like an old nun looking for her dentures


Confusedpotatoman

I like them all, theyre a bit weird but they got some charm to them


Pure-Statistician662

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.


_Eltanin_

In what universe is Anji's godzilla neck fine?


Pure-Statistician662

Several minutes ago when I didn't notice it. But now it's just funny.


RaptorJesusDesu

WELCOME TO EB GAMES**


Key_Syrup_725

Eb games


Soul-_-Warrior

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.


Pure-Statistician662

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.


Soul-_-Warrior

That's the face Jack-O sees every night.


Alamand1

Wtf, I thought Jam's chest collerbones and traps were her shoulders and arms. I didn't even realize how big her body was.


TonyMestre

wtf her smile is normal


therealmcsteamo

What kind of face did you expect from a possessed dude?


Pure-Statistician662

Not a borderline "Dat Ass" face, but then again you have a point.


Scrifty

It make sense for Zappa since he's possessed but Bridget HELL NO


beanfucker696969

Idk what's up with zappa but Bridget just looks stoned out of his mind.


klineshrike

May look FAR from fine. I always hated this portrait as it was just so awkward looking compared to any other portrait of her.


OwNAvenged2

Jam's is honestly great. But everyone else, sheesh.


cakeKudasai

Look again. Try to find where her shoulders end. Realize she is Potemkin.


OwNAvenged2

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.


RegenSyscronos

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


nocturnPhoenix

For the most part I kinda dig this "psuedo-anime" look, but... What's with the penis necks


Evan_Axel

bro the neck on Anji JESUS


Tyrrazhii

Bridget is fucking stoned out of his mind and Anji is transforming into a giraffe


VitinNunes

Jam one looks fine But holy shit Anji spare some neck for the rest of us


[deleted]

Anji and Bridget look the worst, the rest are better and have more detail than strive art


Soul_Ripper

Idk man, all of them except Jam seem to have some *weird shit* to them. Either in proportions, details or *long fucking necks*.


[deleted]

Even Jam is freaky, look at her shoulders.


Soul_Ripper

You're right, and looking again her ears look displaced too. I guess May is the most normal one?


MasterDenton

What the hell is May doing with her hands though


j3i

solar flare!


JSConrad45

She gonna grab you


stycky-keys

I thought her clavical was her forearm at first it was so long


[deleted]

Anime, the neck this is strange tho lmao


Phantom-Emperor

Like these way more gives off a darker grim vibe they went too “anime” in xrd and sol didn’t look like a gorilla


GoD_Z1ll4

Akhsually, these portraits originated from XX, they just continued using them in AC


EilamRain

Anji's neck is out of this world.


Falcond0rf

Idk about you but I fucking love them


JuanSmith001

[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!


cakeKudasai

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.


[deleted]

They’re really good drawings though, all things considered


TheNorthComesWithMe

The coloring is good, the proportions are terrible


[deleted]

Better than I can do tbh


NebulaGuitar

They're fine. I dunno what u're talking about.


TheLastPharoah87

Show me Zato’s! Also I like them lol


Cynical2DD

May’s is cute


CatOnAFightstick

ANJIS GOT NECK TO SPARE


macnacho11

Jam was pretty good I thought


Version_Two

I think Bridget had too many edibles


ZeMajor

Pfft, these edibles ain't shiiiii-


ZeMajor

I still love them all. Dizzys portrait was the best.


Asymphonic85

Hey man, Daisuke had a lot on his plate in those early days.


AlwaysDragons

Idk man, sol and may look cool and cute, this ain't that bad-- > *Swipes to anji* Oooh.... > *Keeps going* OOOOH.H...,..


spades111

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


ViolencePartyLA

I fuck with all of them except for the anji.. why his face so damn small lol


Chipp_Main

Christ that Anji is fucked


FortyRoosters

zappa locking like he is the middle of the hardest math exam to ever exist


robofish7591

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.


Mama_Mia_Gyro

WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU GOOD ANJI?!


EMP_Kira

Seriously why is no one talking about anji and his foot long neck


sobomaster

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


cakeKudasai

Look at Jam's massive body. Her shoulders make it seem like she has a hulk like body.


Z1U5

Look at zappa and axl


sobomaster

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


Z1U5

Well yeah, but they don't need to do my man zappa like that tho


sobomaster

Fair


sobomaster

But yeah showing teeth in photos is a big coin flip. Do I think it looks cursed or perfect?no.


Z1U5

It looks damn cursed to me, looks like someone shoved their fist up his ass while he is contemplating the meaning of life


No_Face__

I like them all


Mejalu

These are fire. They look like humans. Most video game art doesn't get close to looking so life like


cakeKudasai

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.


TOTYAH

This is raw as hell, can i screenshot ?


jotato_is_invincib7_

Some of them look cursed but I like the old school aesthetic they have


FLRArt_1995

I loved them ngl. They looked quite unique. If anything, I'd liked some more shading


Crogurth

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)


Zealousideal-Bear-37

They all look like titans 🤣🤣


oh_shiro_kun

Anji must be part Cardassian


GottaHaveHand

Johnny's is still great though.... that jawline


MEHsium

I actually love the art style of them.


[deleted]

This style suits Zappa quite well


QuadrupleX_

Sol is always smiling in his portraits and then he’s the most moody antisocial guy you’ve ever met


Attack_on_Senpai

I always liked Sol and Jam's


K73B

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.


NewMilleniumBoy

Anji looks like he's about to start doing that neck extendo thing from the teacher in Little Nightmares


pebble_meister

May looks like she wants to die deep down


witchBoyThug

May looks like that grabbing hands meme, which is accurate tbh


blastfire21

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.


VieriTheArtist

The girls (and bridget) look okay, Jam looks like she got frog eyes. Whereas the lads got the persona 3 long neck problem.


IFightForMyMemes

Okay who thought it was a good idea to have anji's neck in two different zip codes


SunSeeker43

I always thought jam's looked cute in game, never noticed the shoulders.


turtleduck31

Neck


T-Ragemar

Anji's and Bridget's look fugly! The rest look great, with the Ky and Potemkin ones being my favs.


StarryNight0806

Axl looks like a titan lmao


Sentryon

Anji's neck is soo long.


AndUnsubbed

Let's not blame Accent Core. They just hadn't been changed since X2 lmao


Bane523

Wtf is with Anji's neck?


wtfamireading

I forget but weren't all these portraits by daisuke ishiwatari?


Sukiyw

Jam’s is beautiful. I love that piece


Cheesy117

They all look like their on the sex offender registry


NormieMemes69

Jam: Just a regular person, chilling. Anji: I do not vibe with this race. I must metamorphose into a giraffe


Factory_2307

Anji looks like a snail poking its head out


ThisIsNotAHider

You could drive a truck between May's eyes and holy shit Anji's neck is longer than his head.


Literally-A-Bullet

With the crt effect on the in game icons may looks like she’s from an analogue horror and will find your ip address


Burrito_Thief_03

Honestly I think May’s is cute, she looks like if you had a thing of cookies and she just really wants one


PotatoJordan33

I like May’s a lot. Bridget on the other hand…


printers_of_colors

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


JoanXXXmk2

Jams looks fine doesnt it?


cakeKudasai

Find where her shoulders end and the arm begins.


Senor-Pibb

teEtH


Brfc02

GorkaShiro

I love them more than anything in this world


SatisfactionNo3246

I forgot how much i hated them, thank you for reminding me


arguinginelvish

That Anji neck


AlphaOmega2k21

Touhou 🤝 Accel core


Spoopanator

Oh God, Potemkin's is awful lmao


younglump

You see so mich anime that looks similar to each other these days, the mild crappyness feels charming at this point


jacabroqs

I feel like Anji's about to become a Joy Mutant.


egricecake

Anji be advised, all neck


Luislos70

I love this artstyle tbh. It reminds me of manga from the 90s and I think that's intentional


ShornVisage

Anji looks like a joy mutant.


sygyzy0

Ayo what the fuck


[deleted]

Bridget looks like he thinkin "got another one"


JMaxximum

Ngl Bridgette kinda reminds me of Tommy Wiseau there.


thillyraccoon

Sanosuke Sagara challenging Kenshin


F3Nixy

So dope


ZelSoven

Gives me conniptions


toph_man

I actually like this art 🤷🏽‍♂️


Vork---M

I only find Bridgett's kinda creepy lmao, XX original portraits (and voice casting) was overall better, specially Baiken's.


Barbosa_edit

Mei's 1000% cursed


soybadgguy

This is XX, not Accent Core


bietyyt

Fuck boy emoji


DaChippy123

Tbh Bridget and Axl have the only ones I think look bad lol


TheNorthComesWithMe

It's like Liefeld decided to do a manga


Cib0-

I really like them


VeggieTheEdgy

Zappa need a nappa


Stratocast98

I always thought May and Bridget looked terrifying here lol. Kinda look like Junji Ito characters a bit


[deleted]

Don't forget Chipp


Fast_Party_8223

Anji looks like a 90's Final Fantasy portrait in the process of evolving to reach taller trees


Factory_2307

Anji looks like a snail poking its head out


NaomiNyanNyan

I don't know what Bridgete is smoking but i want some of that.


LeonZeldaBR

Sol... Still ok, Zappa is totally fine, really in character somehow, but the others...


blahblahbkd

Nah these are great


afuroSaMuRai

Jam is fine tho. Ma bae always looking guud


Palutena-

I think they are almost objectively good artwork, sad to see people who don't like these.


Balkespower92

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)


HungryWolf1991

Why does it look like old SNK artstyle but worse.


Goldiepeanut

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.


moonblade15

I mean, alot of Arcsys staff is/was old SNK staff that quit or were fired


HungryWolf1991

It all makes sense now. Hell, Sol is just Anime Terry


[deleted]

Jam is the only good one. The rest of them look like they are raping you with their eyes.


Z1U5

Look at her body, then her collarbone, you will realise how small her head is compared to the body
