Decided to do Josiah’s vampire hunting outfit as a mini sub-follow up to when i first drew him, and also because he needed it as the outfit him and Dante were first drawn in are like in the Pre-Mask stuff era.

After word is given to him by the mysterious Baretta Springsteen that his adopted brother who turned himself into a vampire had survived the mansion fire she offers to train him in the art of Hamon which allows one to channel the sun’s power via breathing. With his trusted companion Maverick C. Fleetwood and the couple other Hamon users that had joined their little party group, he is hopeful that he can put an end to Dante once and for all.

Slight ramble! So because Josiah is already somewhat based on Jotaro it felt best for me to give him a little long coat, i needed to keep his design relatively simple compared to the JoJos after him because Jonathan follows the same sort of design thing.

He’s a bit more modest compared to Jonathan and i don’t exactly know how or why since i had originally had him in a similar wear to Jonathan (i.e Tank-Crop top).

Josiah originally had his scarf be brought with him but like Josei the neck ended up being cluttered in a bad way and also it’s just really hard to draw and colour in since it’s based on JoJonium Jona’s scarf.

He has a whip as his main weapon because The Passion is technically rope and also because it’s a Castlevania reference. The little rose is mainly a reference to the fact that The Passion had rose petals surround it when it first gets summoned, it will take Luck Pluck’s spot but will have thre placeholder name of “Kiss from a Rose”.

“Kiss from a Rose” reaches to his feet btw.

So because Part 1 and 2 aren’t Stand focused everyone who isn’t Joseph and Dio are replaced by OCs who just somewhat fit the bill and mayhaps i could repurpose them into regular Stands if i have any ideas.
