This is a test run of a new font I’ve recently created. It should be noted that Noto Sans Mono CJK JP is still used for the kanjis.

Bluesky isn't fond of .PNGs apparently, so that's why there's a black background.

Tell me if you have any interests in wanting the font?

The katakana characters are typed in using half-width kanas.

Original spritesheets are shown below. Fun fact, the glyphs here do follow the order of their Unicode value.

A recreation of the dot matrix font found in killer7. The glyphs in the game are represented in a spritesheet fashion, and were recreated in vector form.

I discovered that I could retain the characters’ shadows and outlines while utilising the edge detection filter at the same time, but the end result didn’t pop out like what I initially did for the first image. So, I decided to keep the technique the same for the next two photos.

A replication test of The 25th Ward's Film Window system...That's an excuse, though.

In The Silver Case, Parade (and Tsuki) left quite an impression on me, that's why I used it as the basis.

feat. Shiki Misaki and Neku Sakuraba from NEO:TWEWY (NEO:The World Ends with You).

References in reply...

The photo is a replication of the Film Window system found in The 25th Ward.
- The top bar is replaced with a simple white string of text; however, it still serves the same purpose. Except for the rightmost section (which instead features the chapter name, Parade), the string indicates the viewpoint's location (Tokyo, Shibuya, Scramble Crossing)
- The boundary that most cards adhere to is now expanded, and textboxes are now smaller, allowing more space for the interface.
- The interface is themed around The Silver Case's Parade case in Transmitter. The background is a gradient that transitions from black to grey.
- There is a background element that features two random words sliding out of the red square. The red box contains the letter "W". The words sliding out are "WARM" and "WELCOME", and both share the starting letter "W" from the red box.

About the "Parade" scenario...
- The single illustration depicts Shiki Misaki on the foreground and Neku Sakuraba on the background staking out Scramble Crossing. The art is entirely greyscale to match Parade's presentation in the original game.
- Shiki is visibly on the foreground, and is seen glancing to her left, mimicking how Sumio also does the same in the original. She's also visibly tense.
- Shiki strikes a conversation by asking Neku if he likes fantasy. "Hey Neku, do you like fantasy?"

It's not recommended to ask if all of this make any sense. I like imagining things like this and make them a reality...

Abstraction

feat. The World Ends with You
I felt like making potentially weird image edits.

The entire photo is in black and white.

A half-body of Shiki Misaki is featured with only her left eye being shown. She's against a black backdrop.

A photo of Shibuya 104 is placed on the middle, and a photo of Hachiko's statue is placed on the far right.

The text "THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU" acts as the text header of the photo. The Japanese name of the game, "It's a Wonderful World", is written in hiragana "すばらしきこのせかい" (Subarashikikonosekai), and serves as the subtitle on the bottom right of the header.

Made-up short chapter names are featured. The following names are: "shibuya", "withme", "moveon", "trust", "envy", "death", and "dream". They're laid out in the "day#x:name" format, and are placed on the top left of the header.

The creator's name is written on the bottom left of the header.
