Pride Art 2025── .✦

ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴘʜᴇʟɪᴏɴ ᴘʀᴏᴊᴇᴄᴛ x ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ʟᴏʏᴀʟᴛʏ

Celebrating Pride 2025 with my OCs (main characters) who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community~!

During the time I conceptualized them, I found my identity to be a genderfluid pansexual. It's like my queer awakening was channeled to my original characters.

I kinda rushed this art too, because I'll be busy soon ^ ^" waaaaa—

The newest resident of Pelican Town, taking over The Aphelion Farm that was left behind by his grandfather who took care of him before he left for college. Shion is a hardworking resident of a few words, found wearing ear muffs even on a sunny day.

Shion finds himself quickly falling for Sebastian, experiencing his very first 'love at first sight' moment. He doesn't remember all the details, only how his heart started beating fast on the first day of his residence in town at the sight of the man of his dreams.

Drew him as a giveaway prize on my Discord Server :3 Did a different approach to the coloring methods by doing high-contrast style, a polar opposite of my usual low-contrasts. It's nice to experiment around :3

What the sketch looked like

Because the line variation is crazy...

Even if you are too late, it's the thought that counts to find them.

Thoughts that Count

"Azare!" You called out to the white-haired figure, thinking it was Azare.

Azare had been missing for over a month, right after the celebration last March 3rd—the Aphelion personas' special birthday. You had been tasked by the RE:System to find Azare, to secure and ensure the persona's safety.

Seeing his white hair, you thought you found him. But when you turned him to face you, it was another person.

"I'm not Azare! My name's Orion..." He blurted out, slightly irritated, "I literally lost my right eye... Can't see bullsh*t."

You could only gasp with wide eyes. This person was definitely not Azare. His eyes were colorless, more lifeless.

C̷o̷u̷n̷t̷ ̷y̷o̷u̷r̷ ̷T̷h̷o̷u̷g̷h̷t̷s̷

Suddenly, your vision started glitching. You saw a darker version of the person you've mistaken as Azare His right eye was glowing, prints of blood on the shadow-y form this figure held.

"Oh... You're looking for 𝙰𝚣𝚊𝚛𝚎?" He asked, voice fluctuating of pitch and tone, "𝙷𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚗 𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚢... 𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚒𝚖."

Before you could react, he continued his words.

"𝙵𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚒𝚖, 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚒𝚏 𝚒𝚝'𝚜 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎."
