I decided upon giving Beluga a different oufit because Ragdoll Elegy is long before Solatorobo. I thought this early design looked fitting. Because I was drawing him as young Beluga, he also doesn't have his signature scar.
DIO's outfit is a mix of these two illustrations. I drew him as DIO from Phantom Blood because the fight would be much fairer without The World, which Beluga couldn't even see. In the dream, he had a black cloak on, but that's not as stylish.
