Traveller inspired collaboration

At their best, cosplay photographs act like any successful piece of art; they enlighten feelings, memories and stories. We have few times been truly dumbfounded, when we’ve had contacts from other countries, people with whole different backgrounds about our cosplay photos. Especially Yoki’s Snufkin have had positive reactions, which we will never forget. One of them was from Netherlands.

Piotr send us e-mail and asked if he could use one of the photos from our winter photoshoot for Snufkin. He is planning a hitch-hiking trip around the world and Snufkin has been his favourite childhood character. No wonder, I say. He also mentioned that he has read all Moomin books by Tove, so we were basically involved with Moomin maniac similar to ourselves. Thus, we were really happy to let him use our work on his blog's header.

Piotr’s blog, One smile journey can be found behind the link. We wish him best of luck for his adventure!

Few posts ago I wrote about our collaboration with doujinshi artist laira87. It was probably two days after I put out the post when Laira contacted me. She granted us a permission to put her upcoming doujinshi cover here on our blog! The title of her new work is Soulstrip. For more information about publication and availability of the doujinshi and about the artist herself go to Laira's Deviantart profile.

Collaboration with doujinshi artist laira87

This picture of us will be drawn as a doujinshi cover by laira87.

Last month we got a message one of a kind. Doujinshi artist, who has account on Deviantart under laira87 contacted us and asked a permission to use one of our cosplay pictures as an inspiration for a cover of her new project. I explored her work, discussed with Yoki about the matter and changed few messages with Laira. She was really nice person and quick on her moves! It didn't take long before she sent me a sketch, where Sasori and Deidara were drawn in the way we pose in our picture.

We granted the permission and now we are waiting for the cover to finished. So exiting! The funny thing is, that this particular photo is based on a drawing I, myself made years ago. So Laira is drawing a picture of our photo, which is based on a drawing. From Laira's Deviant profile you find more info about her and her work.
