Welcome to Rambi Ramblini’s

Ever since I was young, I’ve always wanted to create my own series, initially wanting it to be ​a cartoon—still do—before wanting it to be more like a comic, Webtoon or manhwa style in ​presentation. And so, prior to the idea of Brawler Babes, I’ve had many attempts of making ​my own series, usually in the form of back of the notebook comic strips using only pencils.

Once I started digital art around 2017, this drive to create my own series, now even ​considering a visual novel series, if possible, only strengthened as I continued to hone my ​craft. Even as I finished my this different art style art series of mine, I found myself even ​thinking that perhaps I could enter the gaming scene as an artist for dating simulators. It’s a ​fun idea to toy around with, really.

To be honest, I have no concrete idea why I called this art series of mine “Brawler Babes.” I ​was just participating in a workshop at school where we were tasked to create a character ​on the spot, and I ended up using the concept of cute girl with deadly weapon as my main ​inspiration. I found myself loving her design, and eventually based my art series around that ​concept. I’m sure it isn’t a new concept by any means, but the idea is still fun, and I ​thoroughly enjoyed this art series of mine. Here’s hoping that you do too!

Although Nobelle isn’t the character I drew in said workshop activity, she was ​the first character I tested my new art style on. I did have the foundation on ​how I want the anatomy to look like (i.e., bigger stylized hands and feet), and ​her design just so happens to have popped into my head. Since she was the first, ​most of the features and fashion are more like a draft for how I’ll create the ​other characters from then on (as you will see soon). But since I loved her ​design so much despite not having any other inspiration aside from creative ​motivation, I just kept her as is.

Since the first girl had been named with the format of “normal name + weapon ​of choice”, Nobelle’s name is in conjunction with how her weapon specialization is ​that of explosives of any kind. Since I saw her as having that “popular girl” ​attitude coupled with a few bouts of recklessness in the mix, I find bombs being ​a suitable specialization for her.

After Nobelle’s more explosive impression, I wanted to create a character who ​was a bit opposite to her, someone more prim and proper, poised and composed. ​With that being my basis, I wanted to create a regal character—literal royalty. ​And so, Corisande was created.

If anything, unlike the other girls, I have more of a character background with ​Corisande, such as her being the youngest of four siblings, and her having three ​fiancés. While I did say I wanted a more composed character, I still thought of her ​as at least being a bit reckless with money. She falls under the rich character ​trope where she handles all the expenses of the group because she wants to.

And unlike the other three girls in my roster of weapon-wielding gals, her surname ​doesn’t exactly state what weaponry she uses. But seeing as “marksman” has ​“mark” in its term, Corisande specializes in guns.

Maxinne is actually the only one I had a clear vision of in terms of design and ​concept. She is the aforementioned character I drew in the workshop activity, ​albeit with a more simpler fashion. She initially just had a light pink baby doll dress, ​Mary Janes, and bubble braids whilst wielding a morning star (or mace, as some ​people call it).

For this art series, since I went ham with designing Corisande, I just had to up ​Maxinne’s fashion as well. Now she really leans into the coquette vibe I was aiming ​for before I even knew of the term. And since I was practicing drawing Asian ​features at the time I created her initial design, she went into a more Asian ​impression direction.

And since she embodies the cute girl with deadly weapon concept, her cute, ​coquette vibe is contrasted with wielding the aforementioned morning star.

Since every friend group isn’t without the fun character, Nolani took that trope ​for the team!

Among all the girls. Nolani is the one who I had to think about design-wise. Unlike ​the first three before her, there was no design that came to mind even after I ​had planned for her to adopt a more soft girl, streetwear fashion aesthetic. ​After some pondering, and some perusing on Pinterest, I finally had a clear ​concept for her. although the process in designing her did almost demotivate me ​and nearly made me scrap her design.

But trusting the process is a thing, and she wound up having the desired ​impression I wanted to achieve for her. And since her surname is Swing, Nolani ​uses a baseball bat for combat.

Since I loved Maxinne’s design, being my first girl even prior to my concept, perhaps ​that’s why I also found myself falling in love with Hildegarde.

Aside from Nobelle, Hildegarde is also one of the two characters who I just had ​to see finished because I loved drawing her so much. Initially, I planned for her to ​have a more goth, emoscene vibe, but scrapped that for dark academia. And the ​contrast to her striking red hair and blue eyes is truly what made me love her ​design, albeit being as simple as that of Nobelle’s.

In terms of what weapon I wanted her to have, it is a bit cliché, but I went with ​a scythe at first (hence the Grimm surname, a homage to the Grim Reaper). But ​then I was reminder of a painting I saw on Pinterest where the Grim Reaper was ​instead wielding a sickle, and so in the end, I had her have that instead.
