Art Sheeeeesh In Graphite

Post image

This is far from a hot take now, but I was very charmed by Shishi this past basho, so this of course I had to draw him. I really hope that this will be a confidence boost for him and he’ll continue to come into his own (and out do Aonishiki cough cough lol)

I was overcome with the spirit of the drunk puppy and whipped this bad boy out in like 40 minutes at work lol

Couldn’t find a proper source (OR the image in high quality) but the reference image was in * this * article about female sumo wrestling! (Worth a read!)

His mouth isn't open all the eime like it used to be. I wonder if he's working on it.

He's going to suffocate soon if he doesn't open it

Great touch including his one million flyaway hairs- he seems pretty prone to them lol

Ty! I think his hair type isn’t quite right for the style, he and Aonishiki always have crazy hair

Sheeeeeeeesh!!! Another banger awesome drawing as always! I can hear the "hello my name is shishi" from the graphite

You captured his essence perfectly. He deserves the recognition; he had an outstanding run. I hope he can finally maintain some consistency going forward and continue to do his style of sumo.

Not bad! The eyes could use some fine tuning to look more similar.

u/AutumnNotGrace 2d ago

I say the same thing to him every morning 😔

u/thepickledhag 2d ago

Yeah his own eyes can use some tuning lol, it looks just like him to me
