Hello! This is my first ZEcret Santa! I worked on the prompt of what if Aoi and Light were in ZTD! I had a lot of fun designing and trying to come up with a proper piece, but in the end I decided on designs and a promotional material piece. The full piece is meant to convey betrayal and a similar feeling to the fragment - CDQ - Payoff 2!

It was rough for me at first while I was designing these characters in a way that would make sense progression wise with their stories, but in the end I decided to stick to their usual aesthetics, Punk and Ouji respectively. They borrow entirely from their original palettes within their splash art from 999 so they feel familiar, but i placed a spin on it by borrowing a color from the other’s palette.

The thought behind Aoi is that he kept going with investments, and decided to chase after Akane after she stopped communicating from DCOM. Snake replaces Mira within the team dynamic of Q team, and in certain fragments, I’d imagine Aoi is placed within the decision game as a participant. Mira takes more of an actual accomplice role, and Delta watches to make sure things are going well. I liked the thought of there being 12 people instead of the usual 9, so I took the chance to draw them as well. I included the character reference sheet I made, so it’s technically two pieces. Hope you enjoy! <:)
