This Is The FINAL Bangs Edit, Ok? Zenkichi's Sprites Are STILL A Pain In The Ass To Do. But Yeah, I Feel

This is the FINAL bangs edit, ok? Zenkichi's sprites are STILL a pain in the ass to do. But yeah, I feel like he'd be a little messier or have loose strands at least knowing how little he takes care of himself. But hey, the holy trinity with him, Akane, and Haru are complete!! ^_^

I... I finally did it!! Today, I offer a Haru with bangs! Tomorrow... Who knows? And yes, I used her Royal sprite here!

And here's a couple of Strikers ones!!

I'm so happy with how they came out!!! ^_^

Icarus (my idea for Maruki's new persona) design notes:

He would definitely be of an average build at best with Greek attire but said attire would maybe look torn up and a bit damp as an allusion to Icarus drowning along with the second (often overlooked) part of his father's warnings: Don't fly too low/close to the sea or the wings will get soaked and heavy/clogged.

I was thinking parts of his body be wrapped in damp and/or burned bandages (or a mix of both) like a burn victim of some sort. His or one of his eyes would be visible. Or perhaps Icarus would have one eye covered while the 3rd tier Persona would have both eyes visible as symbolism for Maruki's outlook on things and that he's not gonna blind himself again? I kinda like this one!

As a reference to him and his father (Daedalus) being imprisoned before they escaped, there would be some chains. At least one ankle chain at best if anything.

Since the "skin" would be mostly covered, perhaps just a pitch black like Valjean or even something celestial? An alternative would be a shade of blue or even white to have him stand out more? Either that or shades of red to continue the "burning" theme? Or ooo! Maybe have him look like cracking glass! The eyes would be the standard glowing yellow/gold. Basically the skin color scheme ideas being kind of like what's pictured in those screenshots here:

His wings would constantly be on fire with feathers occasionally falling continuously. I vaguely remember my bf suggesting a bit of a space pattern for them along with blue flames.

The pose would definitely be challenging but it'd be more of a "determined" type of mood/tone at best.

2nd Tier I was aiming towards Cthulhu maybe? It's not set in stone yet since I want to replace Adam along with Azathoth.

3rd tier would be named after Icarus' Etruscan name: Vikare

Possible Compendium entry: "The son of the master craftsman Daedalus. His father ended up crafting pairs of wings to escape imprisonment in Crete. Sadly, Icarus doesn't survive said escape due to ignoring his given warnings and flew too close to the sun... Costing him his wings."

And that's about all I have so far! I would love more input really! ^_^

As a refresher you said on a tweet, when you did the young age edits of konoe, Zenkichi, Maruki and ichinose the you would consider doing rumi and shibusawa.

Oh that's it! I actually forgot! I guess I decided to cancel on those back then and forgot to mention that! So sorry about that! I guess I just felt like there wasn't much of a point with those two ideas... Well that and I guess I was pretty drained by that point from doing the other edits.
