Blissful Rage | Guilty Gear Nagoriyuki Digital Art Time Lapse

Song: "Alive From Nowhere" by Maker Moshi This is a passion project based on the character "Nagoriyuki" from Guilty Gear Strive. He's got such a cool design, both in terms of aesthetics and gameplay, and I just wanted to push myself to make something that stayed true to the character while also doing something out of the ordinary. HUGE thanks to Maker Moshi, who's channel can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC38tkV9VHAsNT1R4XocpgkA His music can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/mannthemaker/sets/kind-1 Links to all media | https://allmylinks.com/blackoni
