First Edition GNG Covers

[shirazoku]

i finally got around to scanning my gng covers so i decided to post them here! i also scanned the cover under the jacket which i think is really beautiful, and actually has gin with a different design, scar-wise! the images are very big, so i will link you to the album to see them. i will post the under-the-jacket cover here, though.

album (sorry some of them are poorly scanned, this was my first time scanning things!)





check out gin's scars!! they are so cool, very yukimura-esque. anyway, enjoy, and feel free to use these images all you want!

edit: oh yeah something i wanted to point out, in most of these covers gin has green eyes! i thought that was interesting. then again, in one of these covers, akame also has green eyes, so take it with a grain of salt

I've always loved Gin's original scar design, before Yoshi changed it to a lazier version, but I never noticed the little scar on his cheek that matches Daisuke's! Thanks for posting these!

Gin's most consistent eye color was actually green in GNG. His brindling is done sooooo beautifully and with such detail in the first volume or two. I miss the calmer coloring and shading...

These are gyooooh-jiss, thanks for sharing them with us! The quality is great!

[shirazoku]

yes i love his old scars!! i love the one that takes a chunk out of his ears and stretches over his eye.. it looks so cool! i can really see the action of the bear swiping him in them

aaah i'm glad i could make you happy, i just love them so much they needed to be shared!

Wow, thanks for sharing these! These covers are so wonderfully drawn.

Thank you for sharing!!
I really like these covers. And I like that Gin first had brown/brownish green and then more green.

Yeap, I too wish Gin had those bigger scars through the whole thing because that just looks a lot better. Back when I was still drawing, I always used to draw him with bigger scars as well. I find it funny that when you scroll down the covers, the color of his collar keeps changing, then in some he takes it off and then the next one he has it back on again. He starts out with brown, then green, blue and black. Fashion, baby, never be caught in the same collar twice!

I regret nothing. :megustabishieplz:


Maybe this is where anime Hakurou got the idea for his rainbow of appearances whenever the animators needed another "background dog."

Fabuloso! It could also explain why Gin looks so judgmental all the time, he is simply appalled by the fashion sense of everyone else.

#Can't Spell 'Judging' Without 'Gin'

Any fan of Kyuuta's glorious observation is a friend to me. :lookofshock: I'm really quite sad that Gin isn't the main character of GDWO, now. He's missing out on taking up 90% of the panels staring judgmentally at all those gaudy 'noticemeplz' fashion statements.
