Artist's commentary
Allow me to also share the Official Key Art! 🌹
Both the model and artwork were designed by @m_n_c_r
I’d also like to share some trivia about the design! During the debut I feel I didn’t give enough credit to how much thought went into it.
These characters were a big inspiration, can you spot it?
• Godsword Alexiel (Granblue Fantasy)
• Tomo (Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko)
• Kafka (Honkai: Star Rail)
The design draws from 1950–1980 Italian-American Mafia aesthetics.
To help realize it, Ecu-sensei even checked out mafia films I recommended, like The Godfather and Goodfellas.
The Familia emblem features guns, roses, and a grizzly bear, one of my favorite animals! Ecu-sensei actually asked my favorite animal specifically to design the emblem.
The signature gun is a Beretta 92FS, an iconic Italian handgun introduced in the 1970s, just as many of you might've guessed.
I truly think the artist did an outstanding job bringing everything together. The design is incredibly detailed, and it was a joy working together.
I’m extremely grateful to have found an artist of this caliber. I hope you’ll grow to love and cherish the design as much as I do.
I’m very happy with it and can’t wait to create more content! 🌹
