Tomie (Junji Ito) - [Cosplay Edit]

(Made in October 2025)
I got the opportunity to work with an amazing cosplayer, Lei, to edit some of their pictures for Halloween :)
The process was a lot of back and forth to make sure my work matched her expectations. They sent me a few pictures to chose from, and some references of the character, and basically told me I had carte blanche on how I went about it - I tried to match the refs, first with sketches, then by improving the definition of the sketches. All throughout, I sent them my updates and tweaked things they didn't like.
Overall, this took me about a week (from Oct. 13th to Oct. 20th), and it was super nice to get back into photo editing. Lei was very excited about the results, and posted the images on her feed as well as her profile!
