Description
Joker, the protagonist of Persona 5

Unfortunately, I haven't actually played Persona 5, and I've barely watched the anime (though I heard it doesn't compare well to the game), but I've watched some gameplay and find it very epically stylish. TBH this was done while I was really sleepy (apparently that's when I'm most productive???) and a lot of it feels sloppily made xP ...Also, I realize I've been doing a lot of fanart lately. Hmm... maybe I'll get around to doing something original soon.

I actually sketched out Joker a while back, but didn't get around to the rest of it until recently. Did a lot of stuff here that I hadn't done before. The card frame foreground was very much a last minute addition - what I drew of Joker wasn't much and my original idea for the edges required a much better understanding of lighting than I have at the moment. You can probably tell from the poor shading lol. In the end, I used references to joker cards from a numbered deck of cards. The drawing app that I'm using has a text maker (with a bunch of cool fonts, btw) which you can see at the top. I also added cracked bullet holes in place of the card symbol. The holes, along with Joker's hair highlights, were learned from staring at the games official artwork long enough lol. Also, hands are still weird - I feel like the size compared to the face isn't right.
