This project has been a long time coming! Something I've always wanted to make, and always struggled to bring to life. Even though I've finally reached a stage where I'm genuinely proud of the art I'm producing, making this piece proved to be an arduous challenge.

As someone with a big love for music and album covers, it seemed only logical to make one for my OCs. Starting, of course, with Zack Yamikage and his vigilante alter-ego Ronin.

I even organized a playlist of music for it, which you can listen to here!

Like the songs I curated for the playlist, I wanted this to capture the feeling of Zack as a character, as well as his story, as pretentious as that may sound. Dripping with edge and overflowing with energy, tinged with sweet, sweet angst.

I really pushed myself to get dynamic with this piece, and I hope that it's paid off. Getting the cracked mirror reflection right was definitely the most difficult part.

What do you think of this piece? The playlist of music I made for it? Do you have questions about Zack, the creation of this piece, or something else? Be sure to leave feedback down below! Always interested to read what you have to say.

Thanks for everything, everyone!
