A while ago I sketched a bunch of pin-up and POV pics of characters I felt I hadn’t drawn enough. Most of those will probably never make it to the final stages, but this Casca one is an exception. While coloring this one I thought it’d be funny to use the wording of the manga when describing Guts’s sword to describe the weapon he’s using here. I think it’s a nice touch.
I’m not sure if this Ask was looking for swordplay or not, but when I was thinking of who Erza might could spar with the first person I thought of was Casca. I like Casca a lot, and I thought she’d look good with Erza, so I decided to do my best to give a fun answer with both of them that I hope some of y’all will enjoy.
This is a pic I’ve considered doing for quite some time, but never felt motivated to do. It wasn’t until I re-watched the ’97 anime with someone recently that I decided to go ahead and do it. Guts, Griffith and Casca have a really great dynamic during the Golden Age, the portion of the story that anime covers, and I like pairing those versions of the characters together. That also happens to be the time period where all three have their sexiest designs, in my opinion, so if any of them end up in Asks or anything you can bet that’ll be the era I look to for reference.
