I have recently commissioned Ark (over at @arkeresia) for some Daigo & Akiyama art as a gift to @sixthxchairman​ in celebration of (almost) one year of our friendship! Ark is one of our favorite artists and Dawn has bought me some merch from her (that I’m yet to get because of moving countries, haha) and then I decided to get her something, too!
Honestly, asking anyone else to draw our favorite canon-based ship (that is so niche and tiny that it is a rarepair canoe at this point, but which we FIERCELY LOVE) felt like treason to me, so Ark was the only choice in my heart. I love her work with the RGG characters and I couldn’t be more impressed with her talent and sheer ability to capture just what I had in mind! Considering how Daigo & Akiyama barely interact in canon, it feels like a dream to see them brought in life in such incredible art and very much in line with the million words we’ve used for them.
Here’s to many more friendship anniversaries and squealing over the best RGG bois, no matter what the RGG studios or the fandom says! ♥ Thank you for bringing so much of Daigo goodness to our lives! You & your son are a gift to us. :)
