April + May sketchbook dump! 🐉

I start playing Yakuza 0 a month ago (I haven’t finished it yet) and I’ve been obsessed with it lately it’s SO GOOD… also I became a proud majimako shipper after a few hours into the game, they are everything to me 🥹💗💓

I wanted to practice drawing the Yakuza 0 characters and this was the only way to do that

Digimon Survive-esque evolutions for some of the spinoff protags

With the idea of the SMT characters fighting alongside their Digimon, they evolve based on the main attack type you have been using since their last form. These also correspond to the vaccine, data, virus trio of types.

The DS duo

Honestly I started with Manticoremon then went backwards. It’s both demonic and angelic which I thought worked well. I liked the idea of going with a chimera route considering he absorbs the other Bels. Machinedramon is a combination of a bunch of ultimate Digimon. Shakamon is a jogress here. I didn’t use Chimeramon mostly because I used Milleniumon for another character.

I kinda already used Lunamon😅. So I used Apollomon’s line instead. I didn’t use Gargomon because it felt very-dex. Of course I had to use Baihumon because of the anime.

DDS (I didn’t know what to do with Sera😅)

Seraph’s starting element is ice so I went with that. I kinda wanted to use Shivamon but I couldn’t think of any way to transition it to that well. So I did a route focusing on the more demonic side to his character. I wish there were more IceDevimon related evolutions. There’s just not a lot of demonic ice Digimon. The white sprite is Omnimon Merciful Mode who I can’t explain for spoilery reasons.

The Persona trio (Sorry I haven’t played the first two)

I decided to have them represent data-vaccine-virus. I didn’t think the other way would work with persona really so I made it more like survive and based on if you make positive dialogue choices and do social links. I imagine the more you choose asshole options and act anti-social you would get the negative ones which is ironically just like Survive.

The idea with going with Dorumon is because it has a death evolution where it evolves through dying. For obvious reasons I thought this was thematic (with death being a big part of P3). Its attacks are also fire based. The first white sprite is Jesmon GX and the other is Death X mon.

I gave him Pulsemon because he becomes a lightning god. Yeah, it’s that simple. Unfortunately that led to me having to reuse some Digimon but it’s kinda unavoidable in some cases wherein there’s not many alternatives especially when it comes to the Ultras. As for going with AxeKnightmon it was more based on his personality in Xros Wars. I feel like the dark version of a persona protagonist would be a lot like him. Also I think the Pulsemon dark evo is best saved for a certain someone. I’m imagining Marie has Fenrirloogamon which he jogresses his Digimon with.

I had to use Jokermon my hands were tied. I thought Beezlemon fits well because he’s also edgy and likes using guns. Also despite being a demon lord it’s often used as an anti-hero and has a big rebel vibe. Lucemon isn’t really an ultra. In this case it’s acting as Satanel with being his true mega. Considering Satan mode is supposed to be uncontrollable I thought that fit more for the negative one. The negative one was very hard to do.

For mainline:

Finished Yakuza 0 yesterday. 80 hours, 70% completion. One of my favorite fishing games.

I rate it 5 Kuze beatdowns out of 5.

recent silly little project… base by

EmoDJCrystal on Deviantart lol

[ruinationz]

ignoring the really bad handwriting here's another tiny little reverse club concept, featuring makoto/"minoru" as he appears in the universe, along with a reverse club emio going through. things (basically what's happening on @cru5h-cascades's lofi bag blog's newest ask)

Devil Survivor Polyamorous relationships I thought of (Office Girl represents Joe’s GF)

[imustbenuts]

okay i finished y0 properly and now i need to get this out into the net just so i dont feel like im losing it but

is makoto.... a kiryu parrallel???? ive completed only 0, 7 and 8 but i know some of the bigger over arching plot points later, so this might be a nothing burger but. these 2 are?? ??? holy shit?

they both share an undeniably kind hearted gentle nature (even though kiryu wrecks shit)

both are 20 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? writing team...?)

majima has stated his preferred type to be someone somewhat socially awkward. makoto meets this stemming from her disability in y0, and kiryu is undeniably socially awkward

both lose contact with their brothers, sworn or not, (tachibana, nishiki) for 10 years, find them greatly changed and then effectively witnesses their death in front of them

makoto was blind, and kiryu becomes disabled stemming from his cancer illness in y8

majima witnesses both leave the criminal underworld due to their connections with the outside, respects and even tries to protect their situation. makoto with her relationship with the doctor, and kiryu with his relationship to his surrogate/adopted daughter haruka.

-6a. both effectively starts a family!

makoto effectively sentencing the tojo clan to implode by demanding the 3 heads of some of their top honchos, and kiryu's 'touch makoto and ill bury the clan' threat to kuze.

theres also some level of wordplay going on, with makoto meaning Truth, and the maki in makimura meaning To Get Tangled Up. the Ma in Majima also means truth, and it's kinda heavy here that Majima ends up liking a girl named Truth who did everything in y0 as sincerely as she wished.

kiryu also has that level of sincerity on top of his stupid godzilla strength, but take that strength away and uh he starts looking a lot like makoto. going into the hornet's nest solo, as did makoto... and he cant lie for shit.

plus kiryu seems (from my limited understanding) to be constantly pulled back and get Tangled Up in the yakuza stuff repeatedly

so if majima fell for makoto, then... the subtext seems to strongly suggest he later falls for kiryu too?

majima the bisexual king?? omg?
