Day Off
Added 2023-11-26 06:33:28 +0000 UTCWhere do I even start! This has been the hardest set to attempt and put together, with the first piece alone taking so much effort and time. This time for real I wanted to draw the characters in a more casual mood (believe it or not I can count the number of times I've drawn an open mouth smile on one hand before this!), but I wanted to do it properly as well.
To add to this challenge, some really unfortunate things happened last week (luckily it was just resolved) that threw even more wrenches into the works. Still I was determined to get this set done, and also fulfill my commitment to you guys here on Patreon.
I'm pretty gassed out after finishing these, even though there's definitely very many areas of improvement left. Arcades are hard to draw!
As always, feel free to let me know what you think below, and thank you for your kind support!
Videos will be up very shortly as I'm getting to recording right away.

Thank you for the kind words! The sort of single dimensionality of my characters has been something I'm really looking to work on for a while now, so I was glad i could create something in that vein!

2024-03-26 14:59:31 +0000 UTCI have two of your artbooks but am not on IG, so first time seeing this side of your art. Love how bright and colourful these are but still very much your style. It's almost as if you decided to make distinction between darker activities of your characters and their careless moments. (Almost cause I still see all the ketchup xD)

2023-12-19 13:44:52 +0000 UTCI think one of the coolest things is, that we as patreons get hear more of what is going on in your drawings and how you felt while doing them. I love this set and feel you with drawing open mouth smiles...they are hard af to get right and you did great! the separate artworks overflow with life and color. simply put, it's an amazing set!

2023-11-28 09:46:50 +0000 UTCThank you! The narrative irony is definitely a little goofy :) Also ironic is that the more fun they're having, the more pain I'm in drawing their newfound vibrant expressions (half-joking!)

2023-11-28 09:45:23 +0000 UTCThank you! Once in a while it can be fun to go outside my usual style preference indeed
GUWEIZ
2023-11-28 09:45:13 +0000 UTCThey're really just what came to mind first :)

2023-11-28 09:44:49 +0000 UTCIt's a fun detour from the usual!

2023-11-28 09:44:17 +0000 UTCSimple is sometimes the best indeed!

2023-11-27 12:31:43 +0000 UTCThese pictures are gorgeous. I can understand why their composition was a hassle to come up with. You did an outstanding job, really. Seeing them having fun and not just relaxing after a job done is refreshing. At the same time, seeing professional assassins playing gun and sword games on their off time is funny in itself. 😄

2023-11-27 06:00:55 +0000 UTCi am baffled, this looks absolutely great! I am so happy to have discovered your art

2023-11-26 22:16:49 +0000 UTCThe colours, setting, composition and lighting? Splendid!

2023-11-26 20:24:46 +0000 UTCThis is pretty amazing. The casual mood is a nice change. And I really love the level of detail!

2023-11-26 19:21:20 +0000 UTCLove the pieces. Laughed about the brand parodies on the signs lol.

2023-11-26 18:14:31 +0000 UTCAmazing set, love seeing another side to them!

2023-11-26 17:48:54 +0000 UTCIts sweet seeing them take some time off from the assassin business and just be normal people.

2023-11-26 16:34:10 +0000 UTCWow a change of pace but a welcomed one. Looks very nice Guweiz, you always deliver.

2023-11-26 16:21:03 +0000 UTCThese pieces are probably some of my favs so far. The details, the colors, you really made the mood perfect!

2023-11-26 12:50:51 +0000 UTCOmg these are amazing. The details! Can't wait for the videos for these, but of course take your time!

2023-11-26 10:27:20 +0000 UTCAmazing as always! Love to see the girls taking a break which also lets us see another side to them. You too should take a break after a job so well done! The arcades have turned out great, I really like you included one of your other works as screen for the one they're playing.
Ivan
2023-11-26 09:53:21 +0000 UTCThese are so immersive, I feel like I can hear and smell each one! The clarity and detail make it just so satisfying to look at. Also I love how one of the older pieces can be seen on the game. These truly are perfection once again.

2023-11-26 08:15:46 +0000 UTCSeeing two girls walking in the lights with smiles on their face and without blood around makes me feel better too. It's the first time I see so many neon lights in your work and really interesting to find many former pictures and characters in the background. The CRT lines on the arcade screen bring me back to my childhood , thanks for your amazing works.

2023-11-26 07:27:00 +0000 UTCI‘m only at the beginning of my art journey, but oh boy, do I get this feeling. I do around three pencil sketches a week, and whenever I feel like challenging myself, I draw something more complicated, and open mouths are just that … as if it wasn’t hard enough to place all parts of the face correctly, drawing different facial expressions is on an whole other level … but anyway, the pieces look really great! I think challenging oneself is a good thing. Sure, it can be frustrating at times, but even if it is, the feeling you get after finishing a piece like that is all the better.

2023-11-26 07:14:28 +0000 UTCWow. You’re a legend. These are beyond amazing. I see some of my fav War pieces on there. Sorry for the unfortunate stuff that happened
Welp
2023-11-26 07:13:59 +0000 UTCthere's a lot i'd like to know about this set but i'll wait to see the videos. i love how you make the sequences fit together, do you usually plan them out beforehand in thumbnails or do you finish one and move on to the next? another thing i'd like to ask you about is how faithful you are with details, i notice that you keep the outfits with the same details as previous pieces, for example the flowers on irena's jacket, do you have a png saved for each detail like that? how do you plan this? thanks!

2023-11-26 07:04:00 +0000 UTCI love seeing the casual and more fun, less serious, art make a return. Any chance we'd see a return of some of the convenience store art? 😁 Edit: is the person walking in front of them a reference to one of your older characters? She has the same hair and guitar case 🤔

2023-11-26 06:58:13 +0000 UTCWow this is just amazing work Guweiz. Waiting in the video regards would love to hear how you did that background for the first piece look astonishing!

2023-11-26 06:52:19 +0000 UTCevery time guweiz publishes new pieces, i think i'm ready for them, but i never am lol! you always exceed my expectations
Mbeploo
2023-11-26 06:44:55 +0000 UTCMy jaw is dropped while looking at these pieces, master have been hard at work! You have outdone yourself with this set. It is very inspiring to see this level is achievable.
