-ominous piano starts playing-

First thing that came to mind when playing thru this part fr. When the persona brainrot morphs with the hsr brainrot things like this are meant to happen. So silly doodle it is.

Transcript cuz my handwriting sucks:

Future Aventurine: I am your shadow, your true self.

Aventurine: Nuh-uh.

F. A.: Fuck you mean "nuh-uh"?!

pinterest charged me (guilty)

Welp

Now its only the drawing part until this fic is over

Im excited but also kinda scared of what will come right after

Thank you for giving it a chance, it really means a lot to me

I hope this isn't going to be the end for their story though, I still have a lot more stories to tell~

And also you can look through all of the chapter covers by clicking the links to the posts down below~ (will update the list once I finish the rest)

First | Second | Third | Fourth | Fifth | Sixth | Seventh | Eighth | Ninth

this can't be

can i just make them in infinity nikki and be over with it

people will care about your characters if you actually show said characters btw

"edit images with AI-- search with AI-- control your life with AI--"

Felt silly while replaying P5R and Im about to go to Sae's palace so I felt like it was fitting to draw Crow's prince outfit

Oh also a "what if Ume had a Phantom Thief attire" scenario because I am weak Im only human

Gonna write the text here rather than in ID cuz my handwriting is whack

1. Crow: "A piercing gun? What a strange choice..!"

2. Hime(Ume's code name): "Did you know that 25% of people are afraid of needles of any kind? And this kind of piercing gun does more harm than good most of the time. You shouldn't underestimate it, big bro."

3. Hime: "Or were you volunteering to test it's damage capabilities personally?"

Crow: "I'd rather not."

And ofc a concept of Hime's PT outfit below

ID in alt

More explanations below? If ur willing to read em lol [spoilers for p5 and Ume's story down the line]

If u're caught up with the fics u know that Ume is a demigod, an egyptian one. So I went with the animal mask motif and the broad collar necklace shape that is common in Egyptian murals.

The belts are there to give some resemblance to Akechi's Black Mask bodysuit pattern, while keeping it somewhat fresh and unique (imo).

The sideblades on rollerblades is her weapon of choice (this is kept from her original design that I'm yet to announce properly <3); the piercing gun came to me as a joke, but we can chuck it up to the fact that Ume is more than willing to continue leaning the hairdressing skill from Chiyoko and later expand her salon to a more general one where she can be the piercing master.

The right leg's design is inspired by the knee braces due to the [spoiler] knee injury she often suffered while being on ice. Ume wears her knee brace quite often.

And the silhouette overall is inspired by the 80s, as, well, most of the things accociated with Ume. (Im unsure where most of the inspo comes from so I usually say 70s-80s so please don't shoot me if I mistake an era by accident).

The code name "Hime" or "Princess" comes form the fact that she can technically be considered a princess of the underworld due to her lineage. As well as Chiyoko loved playing as her teddy bear and making Ume the princess in their roleplaying, Ume loved it too as a kid. (Also I think Akechi would call her "princess" as a joke because Im silly and delusional)

Also Im not good at drawing animals...

alr im starting the work for the 5th chapter's cover wish me luck

Been feeling like shit lately and this made me think if I want to post my new fic with chapter covers as I release them, or post the chapters right now and draw chapter covers when I start to feel better

I just dont know

I just really wanna share the exposition already its driving me nuts keeping it behind drawing the chapter covers

I really liked Miside ok... so I merged my two hyperfixations into one mb guys (might be part 1 cuz... u can draw even more different akekis im not gonna lose my chance lol)

dont mind that his face changes on every drawing lmao

Wanting to draw more of a specific oc or share literally anything about him but to do so would spoil a plot point
