Why do these chargers look so interchangeable lol? Anyway, good afternoon! How are we doing? Just started cooking brunch because the video call with family lasted longer than expected HAHAHA. So back to PART 3 now, which is about my Makima cosplay selfies~

Today seems to be a slow and peaceful day so far (aside from continuous cosplay responses: TYSM for these too! :"), which is a personal favorite hehe. Now off for a morning run, so I can cook brunch while typing PART 3 of my Makima cosplay drafts after! :3

Κΰ¬~butterflies everywhere~Κΰ¬ As always, TYSM again and hope fellow otakus continue enjoying the latest news + merch! ππ Good morning, BTW. No excuses for only posting today instead, as I got a bit distracted reading books and webtoon comics yesterday. XD

Of course, these test run drafts are different from the actual Makima cosplays I might do come who knows when (who knows indeed~?). I see a lot of room---and time---for improvement still. 2.2/β PS. Will do PART 3 later! Off to walk/jog, then sleep hehe. β£οΈ

β¦ overall; cannot stand wearing them long haha (this is only the 2nd time I wore contact lens my entire life, hence the discomfort/sensitivity :). A pleasant surprise that the test run selfie still "captures Makima's aura", as others have said. β₯οΈβ₯οΈ 2.1/β

Fixed it with make-up and editing though, so it is all good and I know what do now HAHAHA. Anyway, on to PART 2/3, which would be a quick one since I already mentioned the main purpose of my Makima selfie. No contact lens here since I do not wear it... 2/β

Also "clicked" for me WHY during the tour, the 2 tiniest junk gacha toys/keychains with the shortest height + circular eyes + pouty plus sign-like mouth were associated with/referred to me LMAOOO. Thought it was just because of my height then... XDD 1.11/β

Was looking at my pictures during and after, and I kept staring at everything because there was something in my face then that is still NOT clicking in as "Makima." I randomly burst out laughing when realized... darn it. Embarrassing a bit too. XDD 1.10/β

No stiff neck or whiplash thankfully. XD Another funny incident would be about how Makima's mouth is usually drawn straight/neutral... and how I found it DIFFICULT at first, because what the heck---it turns out my lips are naturally pouty LMAOOO? XDD 1.9/β

β¦ cosplay goal for me is being very respectful + accurate to the work and artist(s) not by simple mimicry, but by EMBODYING the character and even the essence of the overall work. So yeah, I looked funny repeatedly turning around like that HAHAHA. XD 1.8/β

β¦ while firmly imagining that I am IN that exact situation in the manga (about to get attacked but calmly unfazed... yet also quietly menacing) so it would all look natural. Editing, props and other effects can only go so far; personally, the main... 1.7/β

The amusing things really happened during the picture-taking process overall. First would be: since in that chapter, Makima is turning sideways to look at the other character/us audience as well, I also had to turn my head 25 times to the side... 1.6/β

β¦ shadows on my quick Shinobu selfie cosplay last month, I now look forward to recreating more manga scenes with shadows + lighting shades I can play around with and draw hehe. Also, just love how it visibly impacts a cosplay when done correctly! :3 1.5/β

Processing, editing and drawing on my close-up proceeded as per usual. For some reason, I find it very enjoyable to draw shadows on my face based on the manga panels of the character I am cosplaying? IDK why, but ever since I learned how to draw... 1.4/β

β¦ a picky perfectionist again LMAO, but at the same time, relieved that the perfectionism was kicking in so hard during this process because of everyone's responses about my facial expression after (more on this later). Anyhoo, it all went smoothly. 1.3/β

Most are deleted now, but I took 25 photos in one continuous go for that close-up angle of Makima's face in the manga panel. I chose only 2 out of them hahaha, and even then, I only used 1 close-up picture here for the drafts. XDD Sorry for being... 1.2/β

Since I already wrote short descriptions on each cosplay draft, will just expound on those. :D So... PART 1/3 would be about my pictures which focused first on facial expressions + accuracy of other facial details manga art/legitimate art style-wise. 1.1/β

Remember that all proper credits go to Mr. Tatsuki Fujimoto and everyone who worked on the manga, anime and series overall! Go thank them + check out their latest updates/other works also. Now for the 1K bleeps: a thread about my Makima cosplay drafts. 1/β

More than anything, just glad to make others (who saw the cosplay test run drafts) *feel*. It was quite chaotic in response last night, but to even those who do not know her much, but are now reading or watching about Makima/CSM? Thank you too hehehe. :">
