for character design class, i decided to finally make some art for my comic idea featuring an autistic filipino student and your typical filipino school ghosts !!
not an actual comic (yet), but if it were, the student, tala, would be tasked to interview these ghosts by their guidance counselor. it's meant to be a whole commentary about how Awful the education system here is in the philippines + how all girls catholic schools traumatize their students
I’m not much of a fanart person, but I knew I had to make one of Neon depicting her in her hometown Manila. As you probably already know, cultural representation is very important to me, which is why I’m glad that Neon was added into the game (even if I’m not a Duelist player).
This is not only fanart for a video game, but also an expression of Filipino cultural art. How much of Manila’s architecture and other local details can you recognize?
Play it - it’s a looping animation!
