I love all the designs incredibly much. Mista is extremely cunty with his y2k off the shoulder and stripey stockings. Abbaccio is very cunty in his miserable cop getup. Narancia’s absolutely fierce with the plastic labcoat, might’ve been my favorite design if Bruno didn’t have those garters and short shorts. Trish is very cute even if her outfit is plain (which makes sense in context), I like her attitude. Fugo looks very sweet and wholesome so much that he wouldn’t go in the vat right away (like regular Fugo). 

I only drew Bru and Gio because the composition popped into my head immediately, but also its because they are this image (they are both the big man).

For Giorno, I think he would write more elegantly, with some flourishes, but he’d also write quickly, and not have a super steady hand. He probably had neat handwriting as a child, and taught cursive in school. (this is back in 2001, less internet, so it was more emphasised, after all. You’d handwrite essays). We see that Giorno cares about a refined demeanor, and his insane fit, so if it were writing something important, he’d write a bit more deliberately, to match his elegance. But otherwise, he might write quickly and unconsciously with the flourishes to the point parts are illegible.

I feel Giorno is one of those people who rarely draw, but are just good at it. Maybe he’d doodle while bored in class, things he likes like critters and plants. 

For Bruno, I think his handwriting would be more choppy, no flourishes at all, but very legible and clear. He left school at like 12, he doesn’t care about fancy penmanship, it doesn’t matter if it’s pretty if it’s clear. He’d be writing things down for only practical reasons. 

Bruno doesn’t draw, not interested in it, and not his preferred form of leisure. But he’s probably had to do diagrams, again for practical reasons, so anything he’s drawn would be legible and serviceable. 

Doing this was HARD. Handwriting is so difficult to create from your head (I’m a pretty decent forger (𓁹‿ 𓁹) …if I have reference ). I had trouble doing what I’d imagined in my head, and not letting my own bleed through. I’m still not completely satisfied. Handwriting is such a personal thing that comes naturally, even more than art style. It has to look effortless. 

Giorno’s drawing was hard too. I wanted it to be good, but not like somebody who draws hours every day (like ME!) to the point it’s automatic and natural. I wanted it to seem like his skill was innate (UNLIKE me!) yet it’s clear he doesn’t do it a lot. 

I also wanted the style itself to seem like something Giorno would come up with. Also how Giorno sees Bruno. I turn off my brain and just draw as I always do, so I had to not lock in. I don’t use guidelines, but I put them for Giorno, because I think he’d use them. I restarted this twice. ALSO I had to make the digital look like pencil drawings cause these mfers did NOT have procreate in 2003. 

Bruno’s was a bit easier, I just tried to avoid having it look like a child’s drawing, but an adult who never draws. Like his lines wouldn’t be crazy sloppy.
