Gods & Demons

Pokemon's not the only series to be inspired by mythology of course. One of my favorites is the Shin Megami Tensei RPGs. Some of these designs also appear in the Persona spinoffs.



Which character appears more heroic, more villanous? Why?
Think about their silhouettes and what kind of lines make up their shape (sharp vs blunt, round vs squared, segments vs solid, etc.)
What kind of colors are used between these two?


How many heads tall is this figure? What kind of feeling does that give you?


How are the silhouettes different between these two female figures? Which one is more reserved, which one is more active, why?


...and down here, we have a regular sort of girl (quite fashionable clothing)



...transform into a demonic form
What features about her changed from 'regular' to this 'demon' mode? How did the hair change, what kind of feeling do you get from her normal hair vs the demonic hair?
