First of two art submissions I did for the 2026 "April Fools Volume 4" 主足 zine; this one is "Anatomy".
This was my first time participating in a zine. Thanks for having me!

It's an anatomical diagram of Adachi's eyeball, but there might be more than what meets the eye...
...which I'll be pointing out here, since I had to compress the image to fit on Tumblr!
-> The Persona 4 protagonist is hiding in Adachi's optic disc, also known as the eye's blind spot.
(Spoilers for Persona 4 below this point)
-> Similarly, that's actually Ameno-Sagiri hiding in plain sight. He hijacked Adachi's eyeball! What a troublemaker!
-> The vitreous humor has somehow turned into virtuous fog...
I got anatomical inspiration for this piece from the incredible back cover of the 2012 主足 同人誌 『MORBUSADMORTEM』 (出版社: WTH). (By the way, I am still searching for a copy of this doujin. Please let me know if you'd be willing to part with yours.)
The theme of the zine was "Layers", so I immediately thought of vision processing, before having a "heywaitaminute" realization about the optic disc and its ability to hide the protagonist. That's when I knew I had to go for it.
I'm not used to cross-hatching, but Alphonse Demarle's works were very helpful references. Anatomy diagrams are pretty fun. I learned a lot!

This is an earlier WIP version, back when I was still trying to decide if I should commit to coloring or not. The strawberry rendering on the final product isn't that visible, but you can see it clearly here... I also like this version.
Since the theme of the zine was "Layers", I decided to focus attention on the cake instead (or rather, the fact that Adachi might get mistaken for a strawberry if he doesn't get moving - disregarding the fact that his torso is red-string tied to the Persona 4 protagonist's pinky (๑>•̀๑)).

Yu has a phone number in his contacts that he doesn't remember registering... (Adachi Doesn't Exist AU)

This is the expanded version of my written submission for the 2026 "April Fools Volume 4" 主足 zine. No explicit sexual content in the first chapter. Second chapter will go up next week.
