PapemelroticPAT … changed the way I drew the tears---at first, I tried copying the tears' straight flow from the manga. But in my cosplay, I intuitively felt like drawing all of these messily would match the mascara-stricken tears and my Lilico cosplay overall. 3.15/💋 05:31 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT … as well if it meant sacrificing the necessary emotions in that scene/not doing justice to Lilico's hysterical breakdown in that manga panel. With these in mind, I drew darker streaks resembling ruined mascara all over the normal tears. I even... 3.14/💋 05:28 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT … be different from how Ms. Okazaki originally drew hysterical Lilico, but I ALSO remembered the film adaptation + how Ms. Okazaki had full approval of Lilico's portrayal there. I STRONGLY felt unwilling to simply copy the original normal tears... 3.13/💋 05:22 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT … minutes thinking about possible solutions. Again, still in quick continuous work mode here, so I immediately had the idea of replacing normal tears with mascara-stricken tears for actual impact. It also crossed my mind that this approach will... 3.12/💋 05:18 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT … when I stepped back to look at my photo with normal tears, it felt underwhelming and flat. Honestly, I think it even decreased the expression of my face in that scene? Was a bit hesitant and clueless about what do initially, so I spent a few... 3.11/💋 05:11 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT Discovered through trial and error process that drawing simple tears in manga recreation/cosplay, especially in this context of Lilico's hysterical laughing-crying scene in the manga, does NOT work at all. Drew normal tears on myself first, but... 3.10/💋 05:05 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT Meh, will continue the cosplay thread for now, because I really feel like my theatre background does not need elaboration any more than a simple mention or two (later). XD So, on to another thing I have learned: how to draw---and NOT draw---tears! 3.9/💋 04:58 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT Nakalimutan pala i-mention nung nakaraan, pinanapanuod namin during dinner ay 'yung limited YouTube upload ng Moriarty The Patriot The Musical: The British Scandal Reprise. Salamat po uli sa consistent updates! :"> Pero ngayong week, baka TEKKEN naman...? 04:44 PM May 26th from web

PapemelroticPAT Will continue my Lilico cosplay thread either tonight or tomorrow. Still have a few more to share, but am already feeling sleepy hahaha. Good night for now then, and thank you so much again~! 🙇‍♀️💖 PS. *correction in 3.6: seem to actually not think that 08:22 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … situation effectively. At times, her actual art in the manga panels even look minimalistic? So again, it is good to know that the broken bathroom mirror + blood all over [as the symbolism I did of Lilico's fragmentation] still works suitably here! 3.8/💋 08:15 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … depicted in specific moments are crucial in psychological horror, after all... even more so with what I noticed about Ms. Okazaki's storytelling, which seems to be directly drawn (with raw lines even) while still presenting the harshness of the... 3.7/💋 08:08 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … overall seem actually do not think that to be the case, even when I outright mentioned these (towards people in real life X). Nice to see that I did not disrupt the flow of this panel even with my idea, as elements like this and how they are... 3.6/💋 08:02 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … realistically thought that it *might* be seen as disrespectful or distant from the actual manga's depiction by some, or even an overly used symbolism that *could* border on appearing corny or even cheap. But it seems that continuous responses... 3.5/💋 07:58 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … seen in the manga! I think I took almost 10-11 photos with this one? XD Also a little unsatisfied with how my eyes' expression here looked like, but when I put it all together to resemble a manga panel, glad that it still did not detract from... 3.3/💋 07:40 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … eye close-ups wherein Lilico first discovers a bruise on her forehead, mentioned already that I found this the most and ONLY difficult scene to recreate, right? Well, because I struggled with recreating the exact hand and finger placement as... 3.2/💋 07:30 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … experiment on myself LMAOOO. XDD Thankfully, the Helter Skelter cover recreation + eye close-ups in the paneling turned out well and "faithful to the original", even if I was half-expecting it to miss the mark at first. Oh, and speaking of the... 3.1/💋 07:15 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT Now about learning experience, it was my first time wearing such heavy make-up! I usually only stick to the basics (press powder + blush + lipstick... or none at all, depends on my energy/interest, sorry HAHAHA), so this was quite the interesting... 3/💋 07:10 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … both confusing and amusing how I struggle at times with characters who are very, VERY similar to me in real life, yet find it smoother to cosplay characters who are different from how I truly am? XDD But each was a learning experience regardless~! 2.7/💋 07:00 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT … and college a bit---might have helped? Especially in college when we had to take that Drama/Music and Theater Arts subject (cannot recall the exact subject name, sorry XDD), specifically for elementary/preschool teachers only. I still find it... 2.6/💋 06:52 PM May 24th from web

PapemelroticPAT ... up theatre arts-related stuff---back when I was a child (Mom being the stereotypical Asian mom in the past who wanted her daughter to be "skilled/excel in many things", hence the endless workshops, remember? XD), then back in high school... 2.5/💋 06:45 PM May 24th from web
