Persona the Ultimate

A random idea I wanted to come up with yesterday after previously establishing the idea of my characters, Anima and Animus: cylent-nite.deviantart.com/art… Persona here is created in the same light and represents another aspect of Shadow's psyche; which ironically is the "Shadow" aspect of his ego, so his name being "Persona" is more of an ironically titled identity. Persona is also another opposite to word "Shadow" from a psychology standpoint as opposed to the common use "Light" for the name of anti-Shadow characters.

He represents the "Ultimate Lifeform" part of Shadow's personality, his design is a mixture of Super Shadow and Shadow's Hero aura, while at the same time drawing elements from the Super Sonic mural from Sonic 3, which I explain Shadow to have been modeled after. I've also added subtle rings to the sclera of his eyes, to reference slightly towards Fleetway Super Sonic, since he's Shadow's darker half. Given the nature of the ancient Super Sonic mural, the apparel I've given Persona are a bit tribal in nature, drawing reference from ancient Echidna trinkets.

Anyways, given the nature of him being Shadow's Shadow aspect, like Anima and Animus he exists within Shadow's dream realm within the Maginaryworld. He would be in direct opposition to Anima and Animus, and even Shadow himself. And yes, I did also have in mind to create him as an overly glorified recolour of Shadow. Haha!

Edit: I've updated the picture a little, refined the lineart and tweaked the colours so the design is clearer. Hopefully it looks better!
Edit 2: I felt like he looked a bit scrawny, so I've buffed out his abdomen a little, so hopefully he looks a bit more intimidating, hahaha.
