Persona Community Thread: The Butterfly Effect

It is saying something when on the /smtg/ stream, out of Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Story, Shin Megami Tensei: Tokyo Revelation, Perofella (the porn), the live action Devil Summoner drama, devil children/demikids, trinity soul, and P4 Animation, Trinity Soul was the worst. Except for maybe the live action devil summoner drama.

So we should be happy that they're at least on the right track now when it comes to anime, if P4, DS2, and P3 are any indication? :p

There's bad porn?

badly drawn porn, yeah. it's very jarring to see your favorite characters drawn like that... ugh

That's a struggle fan art finders gotta deal with.

well i'm afraid i'm going to quit

i've amassed a bit of persona art, but its just not enough, but i'm sure as hell not going through tumblr again. guess i'll just have to rely on you guys / get lucky when scouring the net

:(

Ugh...
Tumblr's tag searching is honestly one of the worst things ever. I don't understand why you can't add more than one tag or filter tags out.
 
Super late to this discussion, but I liked pretty much all of Golden's third-tier Personae and their abilities. Kamui Miracle absolutely trivializes the bonus dungeon with a little bit of luck, and The Man's Way is just hilarious. I think I like Kanji's third-tier the most, as it represented the culmination of his character arc (Take-Mikazuchi is covered with bones, lightning and other things that our culture views as "manly." Rokuten Maoh was his first step towards true manhood as it resembled Oda Nobunaga, one of the fiercest leaders in Japanese history. Take-Jizaiten completes this evolution with its heroic cape and demeanour, showing the shift Kanji has made from "fake" manly to truly manly).

And yes, tumblr is ick. It occasionally spawns some nifty artwork like this though:

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng my dream game...
 
Just block the folks who post pornographic fanart.

e: wait, can you seriously not do that anymore? Used to there was a little block button you could press, and then later I think it was a hand, but now I see nothing of the sort. What the h*ck tumblr?

ScraftyDevil to the rescue!

Either you've got the devils luck or you're made of stronger stuff than I am, because I couldn't wade through to tumblr to find it

HNNNNNNNNNNG

if you find anything else awesome be sure to post it here (or hell pm me)

I find this quote appropriate:

Jim Gordon said:
There's a point far out there, when the structures fail you. When the rules aren't weapons anymore, they're shackles, letting the bad guy get ahead... Maybe one day, you may face such a moment of crisis. And in that moment, I hope you have a friend like me... Someone who can plunge their hands into the filth, so that you can keep yours clean!

Also you forget that I am the Devil. tumblr is practically my domain.

Once you've chanced upon an imagine of Adventure Time's Choose Goose committing intolerable acts, nothing more can break you.

I would show you guys some of my stuff too, but I'm not exactly good. >>'
Scanner is broken anyway, and I don't make digital art, so it's not like I could if I wanted to.

...Some things are perhaps best kept to yourself.
H-Hey it's not like I was serious or something!

Tumblr is okay, you've just got to know where to look, and tolerate what you'll have to wade through in order to find it. This goes for most other sources, especially pixiv.
 
Surely no fanart is worth trawling through all that evil, never been to those sites because of all the... terrible things I have heard.

/Melodrama (or is it?)

You're an artist? You should scan your sketches in. I think it's great when people post their own stuff here.

Aye, but when I say rough sketches I mean rough lol. You were the one who did that Aigis pic a few pages back, right? Finally got off my butt and learned how to use Photoshop's pen tool thanks to you :p. Y'know what, rather than play Persona tonight I'm gonna do some drawing instead, then maybe I'll have something to show.

I used to think so

but...

the stuff i saw on tumblr was too much for me to handle

i could handle a ton of stuff, but was too much for me. my best hope is to find a bunch of persona fans/artists on tumblr and follow them.

Really? That's boss, haha.

And believe me, I know all about sketches looking rough. I started on my next piece of fanart earlier, and man, it's so far from presentable at this stage.

What about DeviantArt? Or is that full of yuck too? Tbh I daren't look, lol. Starting to think image sites are a minefield for innocence.

Scribbly/loose sketches or thumbnails are the best way to start, it's the quickest way to get a composition/pose you like and then work up from there. For most stuff I draw lots of little sketches on paper then scan in and redraw the lines and paint digitally. Funnily enough I have trouble with anime faces yet I'm fine with much more complicated or realistic stuff, I think it's because they're too... perfect, no room to maneuvre. That's why when you said you used the pen tool I figured I may need to take a technical drawing approach rather than usual sketchy stuff. Might start with personas/shadow characters and then attempt the characters or a Soejima style another time.

Me too!

I have no interest in anime (I have now drawn a grand total of six anime pictures in my life), so I find it difficult to adapt to it.

My thumbnails for my Persona pieces are a lot less detailed than for my 'proper' pictures. I generally just lay out the characters and then scale it up to full size, as oppose to my others stuff where I get as much down as I realistically can before moving onto the full size one.
