WHICH TEAM ARE YOU?

The team that watches anime every week or who waits for the anime to finish and then started to watch it?. To be honest, I'm the second type. The reason is simple, it's because I'm pretty impatient and the type that easily forgets the previous episode, so I need to rewatch one episode beforehand when watching the latest episode.

At Tokyo Revengers I started doing different things. What's different is that I started reading manga from Tokyo Revengers and then watching the anime. I rarely read manga, maybe because of the habit of waiting for the series to end first and then I followed. Sure, bad behaviour followed me after. When I start reading manga, I tend not to be interested in watching the anime ;;;; I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, huh?

In This Tokyo Revengers I tend to like Kurokawa Izana and Mitsuya. I love Kurokawa Izana for his character design, but unfortunately his life story is quite tragic and ended up being shot by Kisaki Tetta (cmiiw). I think it's bit different with Mitsuya, even though he's in the part of Tokyo Manji gang and is the head of the second division, I find him has calm personality. I think he showed a slightly different side than someone who was in the gang and held the position of divisional chairman.

You said you liked Izana and Mitsuya, but why is it costest as Mikey? Well, this is because I already have a wig that would otherwise resemble Mikey's. So, I just need to styling it a little bit and then find a suitable outfit in my wardrobe. To be honest, Mikey's time leaps interest me a little bit. If you read the manga, you can see Mikey with a variety of different designs in the future.

So to not waste time, this is where I share my costest results as Mikey.

The costest results are not perfect, but I think I'm quite satisfied to have tried styling wig and makeup for Mikey. I think doing makeup like this can even be a difficult category for me, because it has to make minimal makeup but must still show the character of Mikey. I was helped by the choice of poses, if only relying on makeup I think is far from perfect.

#COSTUME MAKING May 30, 2021

COSTUME COMMISSION: COSPLAY

It feels like it's been a while since the last time I received a cosplay costume commission. I wasn't in good shape earlier this month, but doing costumes was a pleasure for me. Some time ago, I always accepted costume making with a very narrow deadline. So this time, I asked the commissioner: "does this costume want to be used in the near future?". Although I'm used to short costume work (working on 3-4 costumes with different designs in two weeks). The side effect is after the work on the costume is completed, because I needed a long recovery after it's done.

The costume workmanship is quite complex in some parts. For example, I need to think about the details of each costume and think a flexible way of using them for the user. The crucial thing for me is the fitting process, this part is an important point after the conversation about the costume details desired by the commissioner. So, usually I work quite quickly from the process of making patterns, cutting materials and sewing them. For me, it will be quite time consuming for costume repair after the fitting process.

LADY DIMITRESCU: RESIDENT EVIL VILLAGE

Cosplay costumes are quite complicated, because each character has a different design and depends on the fabric carried by the costumer (oh, I received a costume creation with fabric from the commissioner. When compared to kpop dancer costume workmanship, I think it's long enough to work on cosplay costumes. For Lady Dimitrescu, it took me a week to finish the work. Of course, this work is not full in a day, maybe it is only 4-6 hours a day.

I always see costume references from other cosplayers, and it's used as a comparison as to which pattern I'm going to use. Of course, seeing the details of the characters (games/manga) is also the main point before comparing them to the costume of other cosplayers.

#COSPLAY PHOTOSHOOT May 19, 2021

PHOTOSHOP: COSPLAY PHOTOS

Adobe Photoshop, otherwise known as Photoshop, is an image editing software created by Adobe Systems devoted to photo/image editing and effect creation. I'm a cosplayer who sometimes does photoshoots to capture my favorite characters. I use photoshop to brighten the skin and tone my cosplay photos. Actually, this app is very helpful for me as a cosplayer. "Why?" It's because sometimes when you are on the day of shooting, your face is not in good condition so this app is indispensable for beautiful shooting results.

COSPLAY PHOTOS: UNEDITED VS EDITED

These are before and after photo editing in photoshop. I usually brighten my skin tone and add color tones for my photoshoots. The part that I focus on is the makeup of the eyes and smoothing the skin of the face and body. The editing process using photoshop, I think is very necessary to support the theme of the photoshoot (adding effects; smoke, light, etc.), so that the concept of this photo can be conveyed well to the audience.

The photos above are a small part of the edits posted to social media and sometimes I receive tens to hundreds of photos to sort less and will then go through the editing process to photoshop. I often do the editing process independently, so the colors I produce will be slightly different from the photographer who captured my photo.

I tend to edit my photos with white skin tones and then add bright lighting. Certainly not forgetting the aspect of the photo gesture in the photo as well as the selection of the right expression for each photo theme. Therefore, the photos that pass the selection are sometimes very few and I'm quite happy with some of my edits.

I'm not a professional, sometimes the resulting color must be rechecked (e.g. send a photo to your phone to see if the resulting color is good enough or needs to be improved again), if this process has passed then it can continue to edit other photos from the same series.

MY PERSONAL OPINION ON PHOTOSHOP

In today's digital age, the use of photoshop is natural. In the process to market the product, both in the form of print and electronic media can not be separated from the use of photoshop. A public figure, such as model, celebrity also actor are required to look attractive in front of the camera, so that in addition to personal care (skin care, doing sports and paying attention to food & drink consumption). Of course it can be supported with photo editing applications and also camera with good quality.

If we draw a line with the hobby of a cosplayer. Editing applications such as photoshop is very helpful in realizing their favorite characters into the real world. With the increasingly sophisticated digital age, these cosplayers can sell merchendise (in the form of photos, videos and even related works) to the web, which is definitely undergoing the editing process before it is marketed to consumers. So, I think we as artists are definitely inseparable from the use of photo editing applications such as photoshop.
