Trauma Button A Paradox Live Fansite

Official Art Gallery

Below is my collection of as much official Paradox Live art as I can get my hands on. This is a real old-school type affair, so click on the thumbnails to view the full art!

Some stipulations:

  • Official default profile art will not be archived here, as it's already prominently displayed on the character profiles.
  • Art by the official character designers will only be included in the case of it being clearly commissioned by the official account, such as for countdown or anniversary campaigns. Some of the character designers (for example, Harada and Uri) and official artists (Planarico) have drawn fanart, which has received tacit endorsement in the form of being retweeted by the official Twitter account, but it is marked as fanart by the artist and therefore is not eligible for display here.
  • Art is grouped by the "series" it belongs to (birthday illustrations, seasonal illustrations, OotD illustrations, etc), as best I am able to sort them.
  • Teaser art for the anime and tankobon covers for the manga, et al, will be included, but indiviudal screencaps or panels will not.
  • Art for collaborations and merchandise will (in time) be over on the Merch & Collabs page.

Illustrations that serve as the covers for CD releases.

Phantom Illusions

Illustrations of the characters' phantom illusions. The first four groups were released in the leadup to the franchise's second anniversary, with Buraikan following in the leadup to the third anniversary; the composited versions of the old groups were released sequentially in mid-June 2024, leading up to the posting of the RtL groups' later that month.
Note that the full art is generally lower quality; however, there exist versions that are much higher quality, but are not full-body. Included below the thumbnails are text links to the cropped art.
