πŸ•ΆοΈπŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’»πŸš¬βœ¨ Over the past few months i've been struggling and still recovering from a rather pervasive sense of exhaustion on all fronts, but especially on the artistic one. So i'm glad that it'a Baofu (my P2 babygirl) who's helping me take the first steps toward recoveryπŸ₯²βœ¨

Illustration of Baofu from Persona 2 created using traditional media.

The art shows him smoking against a dark blue background to create more contrast between that, the white cigarette smoke, and his gold suit.
I colored the pencil lineart with ProMarkers and pastels. I added the white details with Uniposca ( two different tip thicknesses) and a gel pen, while for the hair I darkened it using a black brush pen.

More details (⁠r⁠`⁠ο½₯⁠ω⁠ο½₯⁠)⁠r✨✨✨ The decision to use dark blue pastel for the jacket's lineart was a last-minute intuition; before that, it was dark brown. Now it stands out much more with this contrast! I also added more shading in dark red^^ #artstuff #artprocess
Ah, as for Baofu's ridiculous beard (which we all collectively hate🀝🏻), I know it's supposed to start BELOW the chin...but I didn't draw it that way😬 You can see it better by looking at this WIP, when I hadn't colored his hair yet:
I drew it like a normal beard. Even though it looks like Baofu has a smaller, disproportionate face in the final drawing😬 I just couldn't do it πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”
