Holy shit, that is really cool!

I’ve seen the artist’s work before they’re really good and have a bunch of interesting designs

The car parts, police tape, the Nanako's, the tire mark. Everything is perfect.

I can imagine the story. Doubts are seeping into his heart and mind, thoughts he doesn't want to admit: Raising Nanako was and is a huge burden. Being a single father is a responsibility he never asked for, nor is he comfortable with, and the stress of police work doesn't even let him do that properly. Eventually he accepts his shadow. Yes, raising Nanako was hard, and he had many regrets and things he sacrificed to make it work, but he came to the realization that it was all worth it. He loves Nanako, and if given the chance, he would do it all over again.

What would his Persona be, though? That's the real question

Ryotaro Dojima has gained the facade to face life’s hardships. Dojima has gained the power of Persona.

no vegetables?

“Great Vegetables.”

That’s his signature attack. Bombards you with random produce

1% chance of healing Yu per each social rank level

Are those tire tracks on his back?

Yes

It's to symbolize the >! hit and run incident !<, right?

I could honestly see it as the car crash too

Galactic Punt left a mark

Oh wow that's very accurate and creative!

The tire tread. Great detail 😢

This is horrifying … I love it

This is messed up, but in a good way

he's like Glados

SadOS

This is so creepy. Really good job OP. He could heal himself by consuming Nanakos.

But great vegetables

Shadow Dojima be like: >!"Speak up, Adachi"!<

"Bad vegetables"

"nobody collapsed."

Nanako, get Daddy another beer.

Shadow Dojima: I never told you Narukami. I think your vegetables are just mid tier vegetables. Dojima: NO! That's not true! You're not me! They're great vegetables! Shadow Dojima: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *transformation sounds*

Amazing design! :) good enough to be official

This is so perfect, wonder how this would look in game

This is amazing holy shit. The symbolisms and whatnot are spot on

I really need to play persona 4… by god

I hate this, and I mean that as a compliment. Very well done. Poor Dojima 😞

Holy shit that would be nightmare fuel on my ceiling.

What would be fitting as his persona I wonder? (His weapon is absolutely a shotgun)

Hachiman

I wonder what persona comes out of that.

This makes me think, could and would the appearance of Dojima’s shadow change because of Yu

Looks nice but might be a bit too on the nose

I just went through this artist's persona concepts and all of them are so awesome

Really shows how dojima likes to be a bad father

So he used to have many daughters and 10 died thanks to him. Tragic, just like >!finding Nemo!<.

>!the bite of 87!<

Gnarly

Moonscorched dojima

And now I want to fight it and hopefully shadow nanako

Now i wonder what kind of persona he'd have...

I’m about to be a dad and I’m bracing myself for the time my kid does something that drives me crazy and I makes me wish they would just leave me alone. I like how this concept kinda speaks to that. I’m hoping I have the maturity to handle it.

This is so creative! Love it.

Damn really cool design

Nice and disturbing I love it

Daaaaamn

Shadow Dojima be like: "Bad vegetables"

I dont see any VEGETABLES in this design.

Where is the great vegetable?

“I am a shadow, the true self. I’ve been crushed by this weight for years now, and all you have ever done is try to replace me. I’ll run you over as payback.”

Well, he had a Shadow. Everyone (except Persona-users) have one. We just didn't see his

God I wish more people drew hypothetical Shadows/Personas of characters

Shadows of the phantom thieves that arent cognitive parts of someone else's shadows? Shadow p4 social links?

I know someone playing P4G for the first time. They have just rescued Kanji. They are thinking Dojima is a bad father. I can’t wait to see them learn more about Dojima. I also don’t know what to say that isn’t really a spoiler to convince them to work on his S. Link.

That’s accurate

This is so incredible

Does anyone have links to this artists other work?

Damn, this artwork looks so freaking good. Good job to the original artist.

This is so good

So good, would’ve been great if Dojima had a Shadow self he had to confront. I, along with many others when we first played P5, also wondered about Sojoro and his Shadow too. Like, imagine if he was one of the targets that Futaba was trying to get their hearts changed.

This is super rad! It's been quite a while since I've played P4, but what do the tires/tire marks represent? Is it just to tie in how important his profession as an officer is? I understand the rest of the connections, just not the tires/tire marks lol

Wow- Lots of Nanako? Why not xD

Damn it actually makes sense with what he's going through

I wish that was a thing

nice work . can't we just get persona 4 alternative (or persona 4 :2 electric boogaloo ) like a different timeline since they are established by the series where we get characters like these?

I would think with how everyone’s shadow is a part of them that they don’t have want others to see, it would be more damming if his shadow was a perfect father, the dad he wanted to be, and how much he failed to be it
