the shadow and her living doll 🌹🌼 print for montreal otakuthon! come see me at next week from aug 11-13 ✌

you can grab it as a print here if you so wish ! WIPs & other thoughts under the cut

shadows house is such a fantastic series & i wholeheartedly recommend it... the story delves into super dark horror elements but doesn't present itself as a story with no hope. hope must be found and then tenaciously gripped with all one's heart, much like pandora's box. it tickles the victorian gothic part of my brain forever imprinted on me since i was 14 haha...

in the first draft i had marionette strings hanging above the characters (kinda reminds me of Erased.. since I just finished rewatching that ahaha...) & shadow puppet hands on the sides, almost as if gripping each character. i decided against it in the end, to let the characters shine in the spotlight (literally).

i also wanted a more active or lively pose, but kept in line with the stiff victorian portrait style, caused by long camera exposure times. i'm not sure if that worked out better bc i'm unsure if this drawing is interesting to people wahahaha.

initially i also wanted more of a dollhouse theme, but each draft got more and more muddy, so i decided to save it for another day (i'm around ch 90 in the manga, so probably a good call to save a more complex idea until i'm all caught up)

^ quick 5 min style test i posted recently! in that post i stated that i wanted to streamline and simplify my art style more, especially after the recent bunch of illustrations i did in the past winter that took way too long to complete, at the sake of my health.

im continually looking for areas to simplify more in my art, but one of the areas i will NOT skimp on is depicting fabric!!!!!

what also helped was working on my sense of structure in my spare time, so that i could be better at depicting form without relying so much on shading to show 3d forms. i love colouring, but i need to be working smarter, not harder from now on. using 100000 shades and highlights is just not feasible anymore wahaha.

in this drawing i loosened up with the bg and kept it rough, inspired by the wonderful xeroxed bgs of 101 dalmatians, and only implied details, rather than actually rendering all of them.

the tldr is that i draw too slowly i just would like to be able to make more drawings more often!!

All the tears were worth it.

I rocked this cosplay!

My hair worked out! A few people thought it was a wig. Nope, it’s my real hair!

I received so many compliments, I’m so happy 😭 I worked so hard on this.

I have a bunch of updates to make to improve him for Katsu, but this was amazing!

I can easily say this cosplay is the longest I’ve ever worn a cosplay at a con. I toughed it out to get photos with a mutual.

I was a puddle when taking it off.

My hand legit looked like I’d come out of the pool after being in it for too long, and my jacket was so damp, I left a print of my back on the floor when laying down for a photo.

All good. Everything will get a cleaning and updates made and he will be good to go again!

“Smile Spikey. You look better when you smile.”.

.

When you end up at a convention with the basilica right behind it, you take the oppurtunity to cosplay and remake the most heart wrenching panel in all of Trigun Maximum.
