Crimson Mask Koujin vs La Niña ! (Patreon)

Sorry about the delay, I was out of town for a couple of days for a family trip and am currently in the process of catching up.

First off, here is this month's illustration! It's technically two this time (with variants) - because I happened to draw a similar image, they kind of feel sequential to each other haha~

The masked phantom Crimson Mask Koujin finds herself in a ghostly grapple with the soaked specter, La Niña!

I figured this pic would be a fun one to complete- doing the water droplets in a stylized but convincing enough manner took a bit longer than I anticipated! And to be honest, I probably could have gone a bit more ambitious with reflected/refracted lights bouncing off of them, but I probably would have gone crazy trying to figure that out in an abstract but accurate-ish kind of way lol. Still, was fun to play around with a bit.

That being said, this actual match-up, while inevitable at some point, isn't in the initial story yet- which is why I also figure showing it on Patreon compared to social media / the public would be a sort of neat sneak peek into potential future plans / brainstorming in general.

I'm hoping to shove in a few more UMA posts before the month ends! I'll try to highlight individual characters a bit more, like I did with Zenko so far. Of course, I'll keep sharing content even after the month ends, but I figured since this month is meant to be themed around UMA, more of that before the month ends would be nice.
