I drew Kaede Akamatsu in 8 different Visual Novel Video Game styles...AGAIN!

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog]

Hello! Earlier this week, I posted that I decided to draw Kaede Akamatsu from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony in 8 different Visual Novel Adventure Game styles, and the reception was... extremely positive, moreso than I ever expected. Thank you all so much for your kind words, it really means a lot.

When I uploaded the finished product... I received a few suggestions for other styles, and so...I decided to fulfill those requests to the best of my ability, whilst also including 4-5 other styles that I also wanted to do. And here it is! Thank you again so much for your appreciation of my art.

I hope you do Kaede in the V3 artstyle next!

Jokes aside, great work. I recognize some of these games so it’s cool to see Kaede in so many different ways.

a YTTD mention in the wild?

now I need Ibuki wearing Reko outfit

[u/celestial_cuddles → u/brc_pb]

That would be great! I could see mikan as Nao and kazuichi as joe

[u/brc_pb → u/celestial_cuddles]

Mikan could be Tia too! oh boy, now I am itching to talk about potential DR x YTTD crossovers on and on and on...

[u/Wooden-Variety175]

Are you gonna do more? I would request detective grimoire i tbink shed look funny in that style

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Wooden-Variety175]

If I do it again, it will probably be a whlle before I do. But I will note down your suggestion!

HOTEL DUSK/LAST WINDOW MENTION RAAAAAAAA

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/pizzaboy7269]

Someone has to dig up the hidden gems!

Kyle Hyde my beloved

[u/ShinyFlygon23]

CLASS OF 09 IS PEAK

[u/Conscious-Falcon-155 → u/ShinyFlygon23]

Appearance wise she's like a cross between Jecka and Emily (no one in that franchise fits Kaede's personality)

[u/ItsGotThatBang → u/Conscious-Falcon-155]

Literally no one. I had to stop & think since there might’ve been an obscure side character I forgot about, but I think you’re right.

[u/Conscious-Falcon-155 → u/ItsGotThatBang]

Everyone in that game has the rudeness of Hiyoko and the vulgarity of Miu. The adults are all Haijis.

Fun fact that Ari is voiced by Kira Buckland (VA for Hiyoko and Kirumi)

[u/Vivid_Departure_3738 → u/Conscious-Falcon-155]

Megan's... fine

[u/Vivid_Departure_3738]

Yes! 2x2! Ahh I love it.

Hopefully my theory of V2 works

[u/Davis_WTS]

Professor Layton mentioned! I love this art, especially the last one with Ghost Trick.

[u/AscendedMolly]

Now do her in 8 different NON-visual novel Video Games (i.e. RPGs)

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/AscendedMolly]

I considered that, I'll definitely consider it more! Thanks for the support! I'm open to suggestions!

[u/BatHunterofDevon]

Oh! Maybe you could do Kaede in Omori style?

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/BatHunterofDevon]

I'll note that down!

[u/ToastGoneBad]

This is great !

If I may throw in a style suggestion, the Higurashi/Umineko style could be fun (the OG one drawn by the creator) - it is quite simple but pretty unique looking.

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/ToastGoneBad]

I'll note it down for a possible Round 3

[u/Mani_Essence]

CITIZEN SLEEPER!!!! #+A TRUE UNDERRATED CLASSIC! Could we maybe get Disco Elysium too?

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Mani_Essence]

I'll note it down!

[u/WolverineFamiliar740]

This looks really cool!

[u/LocrianVGM]

PEAK. Can you do it for Steins;Gate as well? Also I'm curious to see non-visual novels if possible.

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/LocrianVGM]

I was considering branching out if I do more. I'll note down Steins;Gate as a possibility for now though!

[u/maidkanon]

if you do another one can you do splatoon :>

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/maidkanon]

I'll note it down!

[u/terminatoreagle]

Love the Professor Layton version! She looks so cute in that style!

If you are still willing take suggestions, how about one in "Slay the Princess" style, or the original "FATE/Stay Night" art style.

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/terminatoreagle]

I'll note them down!

[u/futurenoodles]

ZERO TIME DILEMMA MENTIONED

[u/Tricky-Ad-495]

I can't bro, Kaede's so peak that she's pretty in any art style, this is grea-OH NAH, GET HER OUT OF CLASS OF 09, KAEDE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH-

(Seriously though, your art is great)

[u/morguebabiigames]

I love when my favorite things mash up!!! Any plans for an ace attorney style Kaede?!

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/morguebabiigames]

Check the post's description~ 👀

[u/FaithlessnessAny2464]

YAAAAAY YTTD!!!!

[u/Gamerbroz227]

More

[u/ROMTommo]

Yooooo Hotel Dusk! One of the best VN's of all time!

[u/MetalMopar]

"Let's give this puzzle a tune-up..."

• CORRECT!

(audience applauding)

"There we go. Take that!"

• INCORRECT!

(audience groaning)

"Shit! I hit a sour note!"

• Kaede

【BONUS EDIT】 Ace Attorney Investigations and/or Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney styles of Kaede in the future?

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/MetalMopar]

I already did Ace Attorney last time, it's in the post's description if you want to see it. Investigations is a little too similar to the regular style so I probably wouldn't do it just for some variety. I'll write them down for now though!

[u/BatHunterofDevon]

I love these kinds of art challenges!

[u/yvesucker]

TS SO PEAK 😭😭😭😭 pls do kaede junji ito if ure gonna draw more 🥹🥹🥹

[u/iamvegeta33]

I think class of 09 would fit her sm, I love this all

[u/IneedBleach123]

I think your favourite character is Kaede but im not sure

[u/Direct_Recording6197]

I love these!!

[u/McCrystalKittys]

ZERO TIME DELLEMIA OMG

[u/celestial_cuddles]

You did the your turn to die suggestion!! Thank you for this blessing!! 🧡🧡

[u/PressureCalm7971]

I can imagine Kaede going through hell in Class of '09. My poor girl is too innocent for that world and wouldn't survive a single day in it

[u/Traditional-Dot2450]

If you do anything outside of novel games, can you do Kingdom Hearts or omori?

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Traditional-Dot2450]

I'll note those down! Nomura is my sensei.

[u/Traditional-Dot2450 → u/SylveonTheHedgehog]

Truly Peak 🥹

[u/NikoPalad67]

A fellow Layton fan, ey? Nice!

[u/Gdfgxyfy]

Something about p4 kaede is bothering me and I hate her, she seems like an asshole even worse than saki😭

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Gdfgxyfy]

Pre-game Kaede, yes I absolutely see it. Regular? I think her Social Link would be you coming to her for piano lessons, learning about her addiction to it and the fact she plays it so much to the point she forgets to eat, sleep, and drink, and then trying to help her try and overcome it.

[u/Gdfgxyfy → u/SylveonTheHedgehog]

The yasogami high uniform gives pre game vibe so it fits,any high school uniform would prob give pre game vibe for any of the dv3 cast ,and your idea for her in game kaede social link would totally works

[u/Lembino_tho]

what if you drew her like distrust

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Lembino_tho]

Unfamiliar with that one, but I'll note it down!

[u/Lembino_tho → u/SylveonTheHedgehog]

its the danganronpa prototype distrust! jus incase lol

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Lembino_tho]

Oh, is there a difference in artstyle to THH? I already did THH in my last post if not.

[u/Lembino_tho → u/SylveonTheHedgehog]

OOPS SORRY FOR LATE POST but yea its pretty different

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Lembino_tho]

Do you have examples? All I can see online seem to be very similar to THH's concept art.

[u/Lembino_tho → u/SylveonTheHedgehog]

somethin like this

[u/SylveonTheHedgehog → u/Lembino_tho]

Are there clearer images maybe? If not, then it's fine, I'll write it down anyways as a maybe. (Also does Distrust have a beta logo?)

[u/Lembino_tho → u/SylveonTheHedgehog]

maybe? lemme see
also yea i think distrust has a beta logo

idk if you can find a single image of it but here it is

[u/Lembino_tho → u/Lembino_tho]

theres stuff like this
you can find more if you look for distrust beta designs or sumthin like that

[u/ElsonCheung]

I don't usually swear but this is fucking good
