I’m so sad for Kaneko. He shared on his latest youtube that he developed sciatica last year, and now he can barely walk without dragging his feet. It might not be fatal, but for a 60-year-old, mobility issues like this can be really dangerous. 😔

Demon King Nobunaga

*Kaneko did not mention that the bow and arrow also originated from Shiva (even though Shiva was known to have used a bow and arrow in some myths). So I guess this was a weapon belonging to Oda Nobunaga himself.From his final battle in life

Do you do comms?

Sorry, I just noticed this now. I rarely use this function. At present, I don't accept this because this year is the 30th anniversary of Persona, and my schedule is already full. I have a lot of things related to the first Persona that I need to release. But perhaps starting from next year, I might consider doing some painting work.

Butterfly and Mask

Butterfly (by W.T. Benda, 1923) The prototype of Pandora(the first persona). Form Pandora1 to Pandora2. I think this design beautifully captures Maki’s heartbreaking wish to escape her hospital bed and finally take flight

W.T. Benda—The author of Butterfly（1923）—A preeminent figure of the 1920s art scene and a titan of mask-making, his theatrical and dance masks are hailed as immortal classics. From butterflies to masks, you can see how Kaneko drew inspiration from his art in Persona1 and 2.

金子一馬デザイン考察：「色」の話・LNC編

金子先生のインタビューによると、先生はキャラと悪魔の色に込めた意味にも強いこだわりがあるらしい。 ファンとして、私なりに分析を試みたいと思います。

*LNCの色が今回のテーマですが、もちろん先生の配色にはLNC以外の意味もあります、詳しくは今後の更新でね。

about Kaneko's Metatron

Kaneko just said that the SMT Metatron was inspired by Mordred's armor from the 1981 movie excalibur. This explains why Metatron has the metallic hair like a bronze statue. You can see that the differences between these two designs are huge. He almost completely redesigned the appearance of Metatron.I hope in the future he can tell us more secrets about his design.

*Kaneko also pointed out the unique feature of Metatron, because Metatron is not a pure angel, but was transformed into an angel by the human Enoch.This means that Metatron's exterior is mechanical and his interior is human. This is indeed just like humans wearing armor. I think this is why Kaneko didn't depict each angel as a robot. Because Michael and other Archangels are pure angel, while Metatron(and Sandalphon and Victor), like RoboCop, is a human wearing armor, a robot/cyborg.

about this Hatohor Ai art and repaint of Kaneko

As you can see, ai can replace humans to complete some technical tasks However, Ai cannot replace humans in understanding and thinking about the symbolic elements of myths. At least for now,ai is merely a tool Rather than an electronic brain

[poltergeist0002]

I know many people don't believe this, and the fact is that today, most game developers are using Ai, even ATLUS

People just always take their eyes off the facts

Mesopotamia（1991 ATLUS) art design by Kaneko

The protagonist is a strange pipe You need to operate it to fight against the 12 constellations controlled by the witch and save the world from the witch

It was released on NEC's game console PC engine, so many people haven't seen it You can see some familiar personal styles from Kaneko.

↑This is protagonist

All the bosses in the game

It is one year later than Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II, so it is not surprising that some constellations look like the demons in MT2 and that famous God face.
