Finished it WOohooo

Super duper excited to finally show off my art piece in the Hi-Fi Rush: Megamix Zine!!

Fun Fact: this is the first Zine I've ever been a part of!! It was amazing to be a part of this project.

Put all of them in the same room together can you see it?

Side by side comparison:

Flambae/Chad and Kale Vandelay

Coupe/Janelle and Mimosa

Every boss mirrors some aspect of Chai.

QA-1MIL is single minded focus. Chai wants to be a rockstar. That's it. Everything else, including the mission, takes a backseat, if it takes a seat at all.

Rekka is arrogance. Chai and Rekka both prop themselves up with voices feeding their own ego (Rekka's Hype Man, the Announcer), without much care for if they've actually earned it.

Zanzo is cleverness. Chai isn't stupid, we see him have good ideas all the time, (it's here that he comes up with the parry on his own, after all.) They just get buried in the traits shown above, just as Zanzo's own cleverness gets lost in his perfectionism and inability to compromise.

Korsica is very specific, but she's going along with something with little thought into what they're actually doing. It takes Chai until halfway through Track 1 to ask what Peppermint's goals and name even are. Similarly, it takes Chai yelling at Korsica for her to even consider something is wrong with SPECTRA.

Mimosa is attention seeking. This is my most firm because it's the most obvious. Their fight is literally a battle for attention on a stage in front of a massive crowd.

Roquefort is loyalty. This one is the shakiest, but I still believe in it. Roquefort is deeply loyal to Kale after he saved his life, willing to do just about anything in the CEO's name. Similarly, the rest of the TEAm gave Chai things he never even dreamed of (friends), leading him to keep going despite all he suffers.
