MONOKUMA (DANGARONPA)

This was a request from a friend of my blog.  This was not an easy pattern to do because he is half white and half black.  Of course, he has a classic teddy bear body.  Monokuma is the main antagonist of Dangaronpa game franchise.  He serves as the mascot for the whole franchise.  Monokuma is a bear that his whole face and body are divided by the center into two parts.  It resembles the Yin-Yang symbol, of which there is a balance between good and evil.
