2013, Paint Tool Sai. I drew this for Psychokinetic, a Mother/Earthbound series fan zine published in 2016.
This is Kumatora, a character from Japanese game Mother 3. Mother 3 deals with themes of loss, memory, power, gender, psychics, mother nature, and commercialization. This character in particular is a psychic tomboyish princess and my favorite character (my second favorite being the “smelly old thief” with a pronounced limp). “Kuma” means “bear” and “tora” means “tiger”. I made another version for the print version of the zine.
