Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

amerikhantrash asked: I love your art of RGB, if I may be so bold as to ask what his context is? Is he just a super BAMF original chracter?

Well that’s the weirdest thing; originally he was a very nerdy and self-critical study. In the Persona games characters have to face their shadows- the embodiment of their worst qualities- and that’s what RGB is, or was; my shadow. A visual portrayal of my insecurities and how meaningless and shallow my existence is, how I shirk any and all responsibility and secretly think I’m clever enough to get away with it, and of course how utterly dependent I am on an appreciative audience.

Anyway, that’s how he started, but I think he’s already evolved beyond that into his own person. That RGB is detaching himself from being so personal to me is almost a relief, but at the same time it’s a little bewildering how my worst qualities turned into such an appealing character. o__O

Typical… he’s such an arrogant sod.
