Persona 5 related sideproject!! (Patreon)

 Oh gosh!! I think this is the first time I'm posting and creating a creative self indulgent project like this! Usually I take in consideration that people (including me) likes really handsome cute dudes, but I'm allowing myself to expand my creative horizon in my main platforms!!!! I always held some ideas off it because I thought I'd have negative reactions. I wonder if people and you all would be ok with it?

 This is a Persona 5 reimagined series in a brazilian setting LOL

 Tag along for some process pieces!

>Bases are so important! I learned that recently with my outfit shenanigans <<<:

> Sketching, lining and hard shadows for the outfits! I made this version for the phantom thief alter ego but honestly.... it was lacking something! I put up some boxbraids in the next iteration <:

> Her mask is a bettle with open wings and elytra! The protagonist alter ego name is Besouro, named after a famed capoeirista that there's actually a movie about! The dude who made Kill Bill choreography worked on it! 

> Her Persona is Dandara, also based on a famous historical figure. The alt versions are under black light! The lit up names are based on the Orixás. Originally from the african Yoruba, the religion was brought to Brazil with slave trade, and developed independently into branches such as the Candomblé.

The structure is here!

> Her space helmet looks super cool like this! I aimed for an afrofuturistic catch.

> Next is Morgana's replacement, which is Caramelo (caramel)! He has the colors of a common brazilian dessert of the same name. Also it's said that in every brazilian street there's a caramel colored stray dog that is pretty chill, I bet you've seen memes before. It's almost like a symbol of community! His alter ego is Frevo! It's based on a dance and music style from Pernambuco.  Yeah it's a capybara LOL

Color sketch!

>His persona is Baleia, a character from brazilian literature! She's a dog from the novel Barren Lives by Graciliano Ramos. The design motif is a blimp with boi bumbá motifs.

 Color sketch! This piece is so colorful....
