You cannot have it both ways. A dancer who relies upon the doubtful comforts of human love can never be a great dancer. Never. #persona5

Illustration of Sumire Yoshizawa from Persona 5 Royal. She is in all red and wears a black mask, a huge dress, and red ballet shoes. She seems to be held up by strings.

Illustration of Sumire Yoshizawa from Persona 5 Royal, with a duplicate of herself behind her, more faded. The illustration is inspired by a poster for the 1948 film, "The Red Shoes". The text at the bottom reads: The palace of the mind presents Kasumi Yoshizawa and (here the text is scratched out). THE BLACK MASK. In vivid Technicolor 20XX.

i also drew the @traitorszine.bsky.social game card design for Makoto!!! I was very inspired by linocuts when making this, I hope y'all like coloring it when you print it out or. just looking at it ! that's cool too :D

A black and white illustration of Makoto Niijima in her Phantom Thief outfit from Persona 5. Drawn from the torso up, she is getting ready to throw punch with her tekkō weapons. Smoke and explosions stream from her fists and surround her. Her scarf billows behind her from the motion.

A fox leashed to serve as the hunter's hound.... I predictably drew Yusuke for @traitorszine.bsky.social ! He's an accomplice for Akechi .... and also a hunting dog and horribly codependent. normal #akekita things

An illustration of an Traitor AU Yusuke Kitagawa from Persona 5. Yusuke, mostly in blue hues, is in the center surrounded by a red bordered design and various sketched drawings. Yusuke wears a black fox mask, large dark fur mane, and a collar with a golden chain leash. He is crouched down looking up, a sketched hand resembling that of Akechi's petting his head and holding the leash. Yusuke is preparing to unsheathe his katana.

The rough sketches surrounding him are of various things such as Akechi's smiling faces, a close up of Akechi's eye, the protagonist with an eye scribbled out, the Sayuri, crows, and foxes.

The red border design features cherry blossom branches that overlay on top of Yusuke. Along the bottom of it are red silhouettes of Akechi, Yusuke, and Madarame. Akechi points toward as an order while Yusuke aims a rifle at a crouched Madarame.
