Persona x Pokemon Crossover Concept: Battle UI

If you've peeked at my dribbble shots, it's no secret that I have an unhealthy obsession with the pokémon franchise, so here's another fantasy UI concept for it, this time a crossover with Persona 5, another game I've been playing a lot of lately.

Persona 5's UI is easily the most stylish interface I've ever seen in a video game. It's over-the-top, chaotic, smooth, and oozes personality like nothing else of its kind. The game has a turn-based combat system, similar to the pokémon games. So I couldn't stop thinking about how cool it would be to have a pokémon game with an interface inspired by Persona 5.

This was a lot of fun to make. The trickiest part was getting the typeface distortion just right so that it looked chaotic and wacky while still being legible. I had to manually tweak every single letterform here to get the perspective, scale, and placement to feel right.

Pleased with how it turned out. Cannot imagine actually developing and building a UI like this, but can surely fantasize endlessly about playing one like it ;)
