Nope, this isn’t Gourmet Ramen, but still Aries-related:

Wireframe of Aries’ FE (Final Equipment) Bromide, which like other FE Bromides, you get with Aries’ ultimate body armor (Deathkeeper). And, of course, final equipment entails him dressing up as Golbez. (Cosplay is a common theme in RT’s final equipment sets, really, and Aries isn’t the only one pulling some FF4 theft– Commander Ezelton’s FE gear has him wearing Kain’s armor!) It makes sense, though: Aries is huge like Xbox, just as Golbez is stupidly-huge, even in Dissidia.

Not quite evident in the wireframe, but Aries is also showing off his equally-stupidly-huge spear and is holding out something in his other hand… but what? I’ll… get to that in the line art phase.

But then there’s just one little problem… Golbez has a pet Shadow Dragon. Surely this can’t translate into Ragnarok TWILIGHT, right?
WRONG.
It’s called “make Hikaru use Dragon Shift and borrow her as a stand-in for the shot!” She’s not amused at all by it, of course, but it was never really up to her, was it? :P

Anywho, I scribbled the wireframe for this now, and because weekends are mind-numbingly-boring (well, the rest of the week is boring, but weekends suck even more because there is crap for TV to use as background noise unless I’m lucky and there’s an SVU marathon) I should have more incentive to color that Gourmet Ramen piece and perhaps ink/color this bromide.

I AM SO SLOW.
Have some Gourmet Ramen line art. >_>;

For a Gourmet Ramen commission.
Aries, Typheros, Defeen and Touji playing poker! Well, more like Defeen and Touji totally cheating Aries… Typh’s just in it for the ride and is not amused at Aries waving around that keg-with-a-handle.
This is Episode 0-era, so all this is actually plausible in the timeline (post-Battle of Yggdrasil, at least). :P

Also this is yay because we haven’t seen much of Defeen in Ramen for…. waaaaaaaay too long. XD

After sitting for nearly a year in the Ramen queue, I finally get around to this gem…

After Hikaru crashes literally at Typheros’ doorstep, said ninja steps out to see WTF just happened. Never mind the dragon-sized crater (not seen, but it’ll have to be drawn eventually for lulz), or people scattered everywhere in varying states of sandy burial, he happens upon a pajama-fied pair of legs sticking out of the sand and plucks her out by the ankle….

Chelsea: *flail* PUT ME DOWN! I SWEAR I’LL KICK YOUR ASS IF I COULD REACH IT!
Typheros: >_>;

Oh, and don’t mind Numair in the corner. Awful, AWFUL Super Mario 64 reference waiting to happen. (Try diving headfirst into sand or snow if you haven’t. “Oof!”)

As promised, a Ramen double-hitter.

First up, the sequel to May’s Pundit Brawl, Pundit Kart!
Because, you know, I’m a naughty liberal and worse still, there’s nothing like solving political and pundit-related conflicts with VIDEO GAMES.
Once again, Team MSNBC (represented by Rachel Maddow) takes on Team Fox News (represented by Gretchen Carlson). I want that Rubber Duckie Couch so badly. The real funny, of course, is in the onlookers.

I think I turned David Shuster into Charlie Brown… which is more amusing than it really should be. Yeah, you eat that popcorn, Shu-bot! :P

This was a little late in being publicly posted on regular Ayarane Project; for the time being, political art goes on dA and the two political comms I frequent first. I have also elected not to post WIPs of those here as a courtesy to some of my more conservative peers, since it seems like I’d just be rocking the boat more than necessary. Still, ramen is ramen, and these pieces are really more about the silliness of people in large groups.

Speaking of which…

Elves are NOT Watermelons.
Seriously, they aren’t. Of course, Haruko = too drunk to tell the difference. (Or is she?)

Numair, against his better judgement, let Chelsea and Velan bury him in sand for lulz. (Probably, Velan baited him with cookies.) This, of course, is a ginormous trap in the form of a boozed-up blindfolded Haruko wielding a stick. And poor Hikaru, even on vacation she is still having to be the sole responsible adult in a guild full of crazy people. (You would think the likes of Deeum and Nemesis would be, too, but they booze it up like the rest of ‘em. Rineas is too much of an assmunch to care, and Old Lady Kit may LOOK normal but she’s just as bad as Velan in terms of “doing it for the lulz.” :P)
