Artist's commentary
Taihou vs. Illustrious Battle
A commissioned art I requested and was completed by Hell.isabeth. Here's their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hell.isabeth/?igshid=1jgcsjprgsze4. Give her a shoutout for a job well done.
I wanted an art of a battle between Taihou and Illustrious as they contrast rather nicely with each other in personality as well for that devil vs. angel vibes they give off for it.
Taihou is an insecure lady who is infatuated with you and wants all of your love directed towards her and will not tolerate other 'competitors'. Illustrious is a confident lady whose kind-hearted nature and caring personality allow her to be an especially appealing choice for many folks.
I'd imagine that Taihou would feel threatened by Illustrious because of those stated reasons so, in my headcanon, they have a lowkey one-sided rivalry with each other.
