Video above shows two artists from France, Supakitch and Koralie in their collab for a mural piece on a wall in an art gallery. The talent is totally there but you just can’t deny how godlike their brush strokes are. Same goes with their strokes using a marker. Damn.
So it’s only been a few hours after Christmas ended, yet luckily for me, break’s still not over. =)
The old Star Wars fanboy in me rekindled my love for lightsabers when I watched the video of a flashmob in Times Square, Manhattan (New York City) done by roughly around 100 fans to commemorate the release of the MMO game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
I’ve nothing but praises to everyone who participated and to everyone behind this flash mob. The civilians and the Jedi/Sith cladded bunch were doing their part well. They did not falter with their expressions in freeze time.
March 11th of this year was a tough time for the Japanese people who were struck with earthquake and soon after by the tsunami which left people homeless, missing, wounded and worse…killed. This will be remembered by the people of Japan. The world responded to their cries and now the Japanese will remember that everyone looks out for one another.
Thanks to the consistently awesome, Vio, I saw some recommended tips to follow and remember for a healthy and happy cosplaying experience. The original poster, Green-Makakas, is a German cosplayer (who happens to be one of my favorite Lelouch cosplayers around). Do check out her gallery. Her gallery will blow the Geass outta you.
Under the description of the tutorial size of her tips she wrote:
Although cosplay is a wonderful hobby, there are times it can bring not only joy, but also stress, anger and frustration.
Probably almost everyone has already experienced a situation where cosplay just didn’t feel fun. There are several reasons why it can happen and we tried to collect them for one simple reason:
Your hobby is not supposed to give you tons of negative emotions. On the contrary, we all are doing it for fun and should never forget it.
So these are a few pieces of advice how to stay positive and enjoy cosplay :3
How to be a happy cosplayer?
Sometimes it won’t hurt to just forget anything that’s negative and do things that will just make you smile. The people who deserve happiness are the ones who dare to be happy.
Due to my falling short in speaking/reading Japanese, I can’t even make a slight guess as to what Hatsune Miku is singing about. However, being a sucker for instrumentals, I was drawn in by the intro. Followed by brief accompaniment of a guitar, I was totally sold.
The song’s PV boasts a more darker aesthetic aimed to freak the beejesus out of the viewer. However, I can say that the PV’s animation was well directed. I’m not all familiar with Japanese ghosts and whatnot, so I can’t say anything related to the PV and the such. However, there are some good cosplays of the PV which surprisingly only a handful of them out of the teeming thousands of cosplay photos online. Below are the ones I like.
