OMG I like these themes! Can't wait to try something with the switching roles of villain and hero +_+

[Raki]

I love the ideas!

Hello I am here with my banner


Gohei is my favorite human (really the only one I care about) so we gotta have him with Riki and my interpretation of Shiro!

This is so epic, Libra! Your art is SO GOOD! This looks like it could be the cover for a fan comic - it just draws you right in.

That is beautiful <333

Here are my submissions:

One for the Couples theme and one for the Human and Hound theme

Here we go! It took a bit for me to decide which characters to do, and I even scrapped a villain Weed edit I made last night,



But!! Here's a concept... What if Kurojaki and Akame were swapped? What if Tessshin was an iga and Akame's son instead of Kurojaki's?
Here is the villain swap concept! I decided to draw instead of edit it since I wanted them to "look like each other" in a way. Of course this au would also mean that Akame dies in a fire along with the rest of the iga, except the elder, tesshin, toshimitsu, tsukikage,, etc and the koga went along to help fight against akakabuto instead! This leaves a lot of open possibilities to what other characters would have looked like, and how they would have interacted with each other
That's enough rambling! Hope you like it

Oh! and here is the villain weed edit I scrapped, it doesn't have to be used, I just thought I'd leave it here to show where my design choice came from ^^

Akame looks so cool with those scars! I love the idea and I love their stylized designs.

I love that villain Weed banner too : D

[Raki]

Wow those banners look so good!!

[LIBRAKIND]

Thank you everyone who complimented on my banner

Akame looks really cool with the missing eye!!
And I love the idea of evil Weed

whoops my hero/villain swap ended up snowballing into an entire hecking AU my bad



In which Jaryuuki is an old, kind dragon who was driven from his home by Gaou's pack centuries ago, taking up residence in the underground "palace" occupied by Reima's pack in canon. Seeing humans driving them to near extinction, he took pity on the wolves and not only allowed them to seek refuge in his cavern home, but also gifted them with some of his magic, giving them extraordinary powers. However, the wolves grew greedy and wanted the cavern all for themselves, so they turned the power they'd received from Jaryuuki against him and forced the dragon out of his own home. The legends of a five-headed, acid-spewing monstrosity were just a lie created by Gaou's descendants for the sake of making them and their personal warriors, the Hakkenshi - descendants of the "great dragonslayers" - look better, to ensure the unconditional loyalty of their subjects. None but the leaders and Hakkenshi themselves ever knew the actual truth of the matter.

Back in the present day, Fuuga grew disgusted with the lie their kingdom had been built upon and ran away from their home on Hokkaido. Like in the canon universe, he got chased by assassins sent by Reima and got saved by Riki, to whom he taught his Battouga out of gratitude. Continuing on his way, he eventually ended up in the woods of Mt. Fuji and found the "cursed palace" that Jaryuuki had been hiding in for the past two hundred years. Wanting to atone for the crimes of his ancestors, Fuuga agreed to help the old dragon and after Akakabuto's defeat, he went to Ohu to ask the Ohu army's help. Feeling honor-bound to help a former friend of Riki's, Gin and co then traveled to Jaryuuki's hideout, where they heard the entirety of his tragic story. They quickly decided to help him by driving the wolves out of their ill-gotten home. Out of gratitude, Jaryuuki agreed to teach eight of them the same techniques he'd taught to the first Hakkenshi so long ago: the mighty Battougas.

Meanwhile, Reima managed to catch wind of a huge army of dogs led by Fuuga traveling towards his lands. Suffice to say, he's not very happy about the idea of the truth of Jaryuuki's defeat coming to light, and anyone who threatens his kingdom - or the lie that's allowed his lineage to rule over it for hundreds of years - will face the wrath of both him and his remaining Hakkenshi.

oh and since I am lazy the Palace wolves are now the villains, the Imperial wolves don't exist. Let's say that Gaou and his dragon-magic powered pack slaughtered them all when they came to them asking for shelter.

[Kaiken]

Um, I hope this is fine... I tried something new for the first time. It's also the first time I shared my drawings online.



EDIT
Oh and another one! Because Hidetoshi + John (Hide John?) is my absolute favorite duo,

I went with real life pictures too, trying to imagine how the two would look like in real life. The dog on left is technically East European shepherd, not GSD but nobody will notice anyway. And the guy on right was inspired from an old silly ginga post I saw many years ago, because he certainly looked like John's owner.
