Shadow coasters!  Shadow Kanji and Shadow Naoto are, by far, my two favorite shadows in Persona 4.  Not just because of my feelings for the two characters, but because of how interesting I thought both of them were.  

Shadow Kanji’s coaster actually says, “Born this Way, so GET BENT,” because it’s part of my “Born This Way” set seen here:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/99962739/born-this-way-custom-coaster-you-pick on top of the whole “thug with a soft spot” the whole sexuality thing was thrown in there, too, which just added an entirely different, and interesting, dynamic.  I thought it was really powerful when his shadow was like, “I just want to be accepted." 

With Shadow Naoto, I really, really like how the anime did that whole scene.  That shadow seemed to get really uncomfortably close and pretty much drove Naoto to break down, which I loved, because that’s what the shadows are supposed to do, right?  Force you to face something you don’t want to admit to.  Not to mention that she had to face her shadow alone (everyone else was outside the door, watching from T.V. screens, which added to the, "I don’t want to be alone,” vibe)

And thus, coasters  :)  

So yeah, there’s a Persona 4 porno, that’s old news.  It doesn’t really surprise me, there’s stranger hentai in Japan, and considering the school setting, the fact that you can date any girl, just… yeah, not surprised at all.  I’m not upset by it, I mean, cosplay porn is a thing in Japan, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t own doujin, or hentai, or have a zillion not work safe pictures in a folder on my laptop.  So, yeah, P4 porno, sure.  I’m morbidly curious, so let’s go for it!  

Now granted, I didn’t expect it to be GOOD!  No.  No way.  I mostly thought I’d be like, “Har har har,” and, “Naoto’s kinda cute,” and that’s it.  

But guys.  

You guys.

I didn’t even make it THAT far!  

Since I know most of the fandom who’s watching this thing will have one, here’s my, “Chibi tries to watch the P4 porn,” story.

Uh… spoilers?

Clearly, I need help, but I’d rather use the money on other things.  ANYHOW!  My partner makes Naoto’s hat, which (of course) meant that I got first dibs on one a while ago.  When we moved, I couldn’t find where I put it, but she recently found it!

This (of course) meant playing with kitten?

My friend just got three new kittens and there’s one that is super friendly and playful.  So I decided to take off my hat (I wear it as much as possible) and create a sort of “Kanji and Naoto love story,” since, you know, Kanji likes cats.  Can’t you just see Naoto coming home from some case, setting her hat down, and kitten gets playful with it?  (ignore the fact that we put the kitten inside the hat and took pictures as he popped out of it  ^^;;;)  

Anyhow, pictures of my Naoto hat + kitten  ^^  Though… I suppose it could also work for Yu/Souji and Naoto, too, since he takes care of kittens.  Either way, Naoto hat + kitten  :)  

(and yeah, she takes commissions on the hat, shameless plug – http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop – yeah, no shame here)  Oh!  My hat is lighter than the current version she makes, the current version is more accurate, the hat I have is like a year old.

ichinisa:

there, much better, sorry i got distracted by all the KanNao in my folder

Is that… the next cover?!  NAOTO!!!  My feelings are happy with this  :)

I was really trying hard NOT to enter into this argument, but it keeps popping up, and I can’t help it.

More soon to be woodburned sketches.  What to do with rectangle blocks of wood?  Well, THIS, obviously (at least if you’re a crazy Persona fan)  ^^  The first one is of Yukiko in those glasses, you know, THOSE glasses  :)  The second and third are Kanji and Naoto.  I think, next, I want to do Adachi with caution tape.

What am I doing?!  Now I’m pairing personas together along with their masters?  Well, if this is the road we’re going down, let’s just do it!  

I thought it might be cool (maybe?) to show progress pictures of the things I make, sort of a before and after.  Starting with two new coasters of my OTP, Kanji and Naoto!  Before I burn something, I sketch it on the wood first, then burn over the lines (and sometimes paint parts, too, still deciding on that for these two).  

In the first heart-shaped coaster is Kanji and Naoto kissing.  I don’t really draw kissing (in fact, this might be my first time) so I thought I’d give it a shot.  The second is of their personas, Take-Mikazuchi and Sukuna Hikona, with Sukuna Hikona kissing Take-Makazuchi on his cheek (possibly might make the awesome, big persona blush).

Lately I’ve been doing a LOT of Persona 4 things.  I’m trying NOT to, because I need to make a variety of things for our table at Anime Iowa (and our Etsy shop in general) but I can’t help myself!  I’ll post more things tomorrow, probably, including the Magician glass progress  ^^

ai-catch:

A photo of latest Persona Magazine. This is Shirogane Naoto, a year later after P4 events.

Yep, have to make a mirror or something, it must happen.

… she decides to get Kanji and Naoto cake toppers custom ordered for your birthday because they’re your OTP.  And also finds a place to make a Teddie cake made out of cupcakes.  My birthday isn’t until July, but she started looking into things early to be sure  :)  

Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazztastic!

“SOMEONE TOLD ME I NEEDED TO USE THE STORE’S SEAMSTRESS AND I LIVE 40 MILES AWAY AND CAN I PAY BY CREDIT CARD” “Yes, you can pay by credit card over the phone.” “I’M REALLY UPSET ABOUT THE SEAMSTRESS” “I understand, Ma’am… whoever told you that you needed to use our seamstress was mistaken. We do referrals.” “WELL I WAS TOLD” “Yes I know. How about you give me the card number and we take care of this first?” “Okay.” (gives card number.) “And the confirmation code on the back?” “I DON’T KNOW IT IT STARTS WITH A 3, THE REST IS ALL SCRATCHED OFF.”

Ma’am

Ma’am you are as dumb as a box of hair

kindly get out of my life
