oh. my. gosh. this got better as I scrolled. because what first felt like a reference to the beginning of the story turned into it's own story.

wow.

I am fond of these things where the shadows reveal that which is hidden and boiii does this do it for me.

the choice of lighting, where it's coming from the TV, from the match, from the event that kickstarted the whole thing and led to a legend

the use of light too like, the way it...quite literally shines a light on shoyou and enlightens him, or inspires him

and the next genius thing? the shadow takes up noticeably more of the piece, it's the "larger half". it's larger than half. and the way little shoyo isn't looking at it, he isn't aware of it there. the way he becomes greater than that which inspired him (in the realm of volleyball at the very least)

then it's the lack of focus that is implied with the bike, and the soccer ball vs the shadow where everything, every detail all is stripped away so that it's nothing more than the silhouette of a spiker. It doesn't matter what brand ball, what team, what shoes, what details: no all that matters is the singular focus on the ball. contrasted with younger shoyo and all the details.

speaking of details: I really enjoy the way he's stopped, it's got a very lackadaisical feel, but not completely, because one leg is straight. the straight leg doubles as both an arrow to guide us down to the shadow to reveal the story, but also with the way it's straight and the foot isn't on the ground, but rather tilted upwards kinda feels excited

oh this was lovely

a very good hook to the gut.

excellent

thank you artist

My first ever comic con! And first cosplay too. Of course it's gonna be my boy :] Ramblings about the process are under the cut(Let me know if?? You would want me to elaborate with process images for any of the steps?)

The costume took me forever to make, as I've never done any machine sewing, sculpting, fabric dying or spray painting before but learning all of these was so fucking fun!! I never realised just how many different skills go into making a cosplay but it was so worth it!!!

Almost all of the clothes(except the hat) were purchased first as bases, but all of the detailing was added by me. All of the fabric used was originally just scraps that I was given for free so I needed to learn how to dye and dye all of the stars, they were originally white.

The sewing machine was its own beast that brought me tons of frustration from the lack of skill and knowledge (it was devastating to find out that 95% of fuck ups were my fault and not the machine's lmao). But as a result, a hat sewn from scratch, all of the fur trims, embroidery on the corset, stars and the collar(which is very hard to see on the pictures unfortunately) was all added manually. The stars and the stripes(on the back of the cape) were attached using heat-and-bond adhesive (I WISH I knew about such thing just when I started working on this. It would save me so much time and nerves.)

Then I found out about polymorph(mouldable plastic) and it has become the next thing I wanted to learn, to sculpt the claws and the fangs(yes, they're handmade jfksjs). The claws I then primed and painted in trillion coats because I wasn't satisfied with the colour of the spray paint. The fangs I moulded to my own teeth and then stained with tea to match the colour of my teeth :)c

As for makeup, I used Mehron Paradise water activated paints. At first I wanted to try to save money and bought myself Snazaroo instead, which unfortunately turned out to be a waste. Snazaroo didn't hold on my face for longer than 2 hours, cracking and peeling awfully. Mehron on the other hand survived 11 hours of me smiling, talking, emoting and such and didn't even crease at the smile lines(I'm actually shocked about that). It obviously works like any other makeup which means your skin texture and wrinkles won't go anywhere but Mehron's elasticity pleasantly surprised me. It did obviously smear from sweat and saliva(if you're eating and licking your lips) but if you don't touch the skin it just dries again, self setting. But if it's dry it's fully smear-proof. Highly recommend!

And last but not least, I've decided against painting my hands as it was very risky that I will stain everything I touch at the smallest hint of sweat. So instead I got myself gloves-tights(? Not sure how they're called but it's made from the same fabric as tights) and painted them with normal acrylic paint(did you know you could dye fabric with acrylic paint? I personally didn't), then heat set with an iron and voilà, they're reusable, my hands are not stained after an exhausting day and I don't stain everything I touch. It worked wonderfully which honestly was a surprise as I was really sceptical that acrylic paint will somehow stay in place.

I think this whole thing took me minimum of 6 months with big-big breaks for my school and life in general. But I'm really proud! This project taught me so many new skills and I couldn't have been happier about learning new knowledge, even if it sucked to fail in the meantime.

Everyone at the con was really nice and gave me a large confidence boost even tho it was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing. Taking photos with other people was really awkward/new for me as I hate cameras so I really had no idea how to pose/behave in front of one. But that's okay I think. This whole experience definitely made me want to do this again, so I think that will come with experience. Thank you for reading this far, hope you enjoyed this little summary :)

idk man.. i would never tell someone how to feel about dnp not coming to their country or continent. everyone i've seen talking about it has been perfectly reasonable in hoping for some sort of explanation or even just a "we wish we could've made it to [location] but we couldn't make it work" message from dan and phil to show that they at least hear you. is that reallyyyy too much to ask for? come on now

Oooh this is a fun question!! I follow a bunch of people for different things so I’ll try my best to summarise by ‘genre’ if that makes sense?? Keep in mind tho a LOT of people I follow post a variety of stuff, so there’ll be plenty of options for whatever you’re interested in!!

There are probably many that I’ve missed but I’ve just woken up so hope this helps!

OC Content:

Wouldn’t be appropriate to not include my beloveds in this: they all make AMAZING characters as well as templates and engaging in tag games that are hella fun! You don’t need to be tagged to do any of them🤍 there are some amazing writers too so check out their work (both written and drawn) cus they’re phenomenal!!
