Song name: "Gising Na Kaibigan" by Asin
═ ✪❂✪ ═
So I tried having it obviously influenced by the Boxer Codex's illustrations, but I'm a terrible drawist as always so it looks ugly (I mean, look at the ears—I would've tried and fix 'em but it was too late). Though I expected that, I just hope that you can definitely see the Boxer Codex style in this one.
(If you don't know what the Boxer Codex is, it's basically a real life illustration book of how the Spanish drew colonial Filipinos, along some other neighbouring Asian groups. Here's a link I found for further explanation: https://filipeanut.art/the-boxer-codex/)

Anyway so this is how Bayani should look like as his canonical look. Yes, not very flattering but hey this is the best I can do really. But at least the boards are decent, right?

BTW I chose this song because I headcanon "Asin" is Bayani's favourite modern band and this is the song he resonates the most. Is it catchy? I love Asin, haha.
