[WIP] AU where kaiji and murakami team up to rescue Ichijou from the underground and form a little cule about it
Sketch of Kaiji, Murakami and Ichijou from Kaiji. Ichijou is in between Kaiji and Murakami, who have their arms around him, squishing him between them. All 3 are laughing. Kaiji looks mischievous.

More Ashkaiji stuff....plus a little description of each character's roles, roughly (which, I cannot stress enough, is incredibly condensed there is a LOT more I'm leaving out lmfao).

Woe ashkaiji muraichi guriten be upon ye
A digital painting of Ash Lynx from Banana Fish. He is shooting a gun; in the background is the chamber of that gun, with only one bullet. Each of the other 5 chambers contains a character. Ichijou Seiya from Kaiji stands with closed posture, looking nervous. Kenzo Tenma from Monster studies a patient report. Itou Kaiji from Kaiji is running toward the camera, arm outstretched, in apparent terror. Murakami Tamotsu from Kaiji wipes blood from his face, clenching his fist. Wolfgang Grimmer from Monster holds his duffel bag and looks pensively over his shoulder. There is blood in several chambers of the gun. It drips directly from the bullet down to Kaiji's chamber, where it seeps down to the ground. There is also blood in Ichijou's chamber that seeps into Tenma's. There is blood staining Murakami's chamber as well. Surrounding the chamber of the gun is a dark background, with text that reads "GOD TOLD ME" on the top, and "SHOOT TO KILL" on the bottom. They are lyrics to the song "GOD GAVE ME NO NAME" by Lingua Ignota.

Back on ashkaiji agenda because I have brainworms
Digital drawing of Ash Lynx (Banana Fish) and Kaiji (Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji). Kaiji is wearing a dark T-shirt with short sleeves, revealing part of his "21" brand on his shoulder.

Kaiji based on a still from the stage play.....he's so cute and for what
Digital drawing of Kaiji as portrayed by Yamazaki Taiki in "Kaiji the Stage". He is crouched forward wearing a leather jacket and smiling toward the camera, with his hands pressed together in front of him. Behind Kaiji is a blurred street background with a rough grafitti of the Teiai logo just behind him.

Vacation pictures!! These are from Quebec, between Montreal and Gatineau. Autumn was the perfect time to visit, when the leaves were all in colour. 😊🍁

I like making amvs a lot because I'll be scrubbing through footage and come across "blink and you'll miss it" frames where they just didn't put a mouth on kaiji
Frame from Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor. Kaiji clenches his fist with his eyes closed, however where he should have a mouth is left blank.

Sorry I know like a grand total 3 people have seen Texhnolyze so this really doesn't have that much reach BUT anyway. The concept

#boukai #fkmt [CW: gore/severed limbs]

Extremely niche Texhnolyze AU I've been sloooooowly picking at on and off. I'd have written a fic, but I KNOW me, I'd end up locked into a 150k story that'll take 2 years so...instead I locked myself in to a full colour comic
Page 1/4 of a coloured comic. There is no dialogue; instead 6 panels depict a slow zoom in from a dreary looking cityscape, to a street view, following Kazuya as he walks with his hand along the wall. He appears to be following a trail of blood. As he turns a corner, a larger blood spatter causes him to pause. The final panel is a closeup of Kazuya, looking pensive, in dark shadow. Page 2/4. In panels 1&2, Kaiji lies on a bloody stairwell. He is missing one arm and one leg. Kazuya peers down on him. Kazuya says: "So this is as far as you got, is it?" Panels 3/4 depict Kaiji up close, first with his head down, and then looking up, frustrated. Kazuya continues to speak: "Were you hoping to go and die somewhere out of sight? Or maybe..." Panel 5 shows Kaiji's eyes full of fire; panel 6 is Kazuya's face from the nose down, looking ominous. He says: "You actually intend to keep on living? I mean, you..." The remaining 4 panels depict a flashback in muted colours: Kazuya is sitting on a roof, looking down on a commotion. Kaiji is being dragged into the street. Kazuya's father approaches, and is handed a sword. Kazuya watches silently. Page 3/4. This page is stylized black&white with the only visible colour being in reds. The top half of the page is divided into 4 panels: The first depicts Kazutaka brandishing his sword toward a restrained Kaiji, the whole panel washed in red. The second and third panels depict a succession of events: The swing of his sword and Kaiji's arm falling into a pool of blood. The fourth panel depicts Kaiji in pain. The fifth panel returns to Kazuya as he watches: Kaiji, missing one arm and one leg, is dragged through the streets and tossed down a flight of stairs. The final panel depicts Kaiji lying in a growing puddle of his own blood at the bottom of the stairs: this is the bloody trail which Kazuya was following from page 1. Page 4/4. Kaiji leers up at Kazuya from the stairs with exhausted eyes. Kazuya says: "You can still make a mean face like that, huh...scary..." POV switch to Kazuya: He looks down on Kaiji with an unreadable expression. "Oh...but I think this might be it...too bad..." POV returns to Kaiji: He is now leaning against the wall, clutching his bleeding arm, his head resting on one of the steps as he glares. Kazuya says: "All that struggle, and it just ends like this..." The following 3 panels are from Kaiji's eyes, looking up at Kazuya. They depict the same image, fading out of focus. Through the 3 panels, Kazuya speaks: "I think...I'm going to keep you alive. Yeah...you might just be the one that I..." Two panels depict Kaiji lying unconscious in his own blood. In the second, Kazuya's shoe comes into frame, but the blood amount has increased. The following panel is a close-up of Kazuya grabbing onto Kaiji's good arm, lifting it from the blood. He speaks: "What's that one saying? 'It'll cost you an arm and a leg'...?" The final panel is all black, with heavy white impact font: "Well, yeah...they're going to cost you."

I was talking to some friends about how Kusuriuri is like if Kazuya used his interest in studying the human psyche as a tool for (mostly) good which in turn made me want to see Kazuya in a mononoke AU

I have an idea for a fic playing with this concept, I just need to iron it out a little
Digital painting of Kazuya wearing a dark blue kimono with yellow and red patterning. He is holding a flower-patterned paper umbrella in one hand and a mononoke scale balanced on the other. In the background are monstrous eyes resembling the Bog.

#fkmt #mononoke

Everyone here is playing a completely normal game of uno that doesn't involve anything nefarious and kusuriuri isn't there to force traumatic catharsis
5 characters are around a table playing uno. Kusuriuri from mononoke faces the camera with a wild draw 4 toward the viewer. To his left is Kazuya, wearing blue with his hands folded. Next to Kazuya is Kaiji, wearing green plaid, who is placing a card down. Next to Kaiji is Ichijou rolling his eyes with his legs crossed. Next to Ichijou is Murakami wearing a yellow sweater, who is smiling earnestly and holding his cards. In the background there are zawas made to resemble the Uno logo.

More RP drawings...on two separate occasions someone else has ended up wearing Kaiji's jacket and I wanted to draw them 🥺
A digital drawing of Ichijou from Kaiji and Ash Lynx from Banana Fish. Both are wearing Kaiji's leather jacket. Ichijou is on the left, facing backwards. He is looking over his shoulder and smirking, showing off "his" jacket. Ash is on the right, facing forward with hands in his pockets.

@spyromancy.bsky.social and I have been writing this Ash x Kaiji RP for a year to date and we wanted to draw something fun for it! We traded lines/colours for these pieces;

Left: my lines, their colours
Right: Their lines, my colours
A digital painting of Ash Lynx and Kaiji Itou. Kaiji is wearing Ash's blue jean jacket and Ash is wearing Kaiji's leather jacket. Ash has an arm around Kaiji, holding a cigarette, and both stare into the camera. There is a dark red window highlighting them. A digital painting of Ash Lynx and Kaiji Itou. Both are lying on the ground, Ash is turned toward Kaiji while Kaiji has both arms around him. Ash's hands are bandaged while Kaiji looks forlorn. There is a light glow from an out of view window that shines on them.

Kaiji / Severance AU thoughts...working on some rough worldbuilding stuff, originally I was just going to have the underground camp be severed but thinking about it, Teiai would definitely use severance tecnology for other things given the chance...

more silly RP drawing
"I think we're going to have to kill this guy" meme, drawn with Kaiji Itou on the left and Ash Lynx on the right. Kaiji has his arms folded looking toward Ash, while Ash points a gun. Kaiji says "I think we're going to have to kill this g-" which is interrupted by a large blocky dialogue box from Ash, saying "DAMN RIGHT".
