Hi Bros!
February project is finally revealed. Yes, the most popular and financially successfull manga/anime title right now in Japan. By the way, new season was announced and will come out this year. First season was visual masterpiece, that's why I hope second season will be on the same level.
All that means, we, somehow, are finally making something currently in trend. Never we were on time (Bowsette as example), so this is really unexpected.
Ok, let's be honest with Nezuko project. As you all know my Bros, we usually plan projects beforehand. In many cases, it can take us a lot of time between pre-production and production stages. For example, Ciri took us around year or more, before we showed first interation. It wasn't the same for Nezuko, but we were searching more suitable model for a long time. And we didn't. Still to this day, but Dzikan is doing all in her powers to find new faces.
Even right now!
Nezuko photoshoot was shot in the begining of autumn last year.
Reasons are:(1) Dzikan started to feel early signs of depression and just natural tiredness. I think, we all felt the same at that period, because first wave of COVID seemed being finished. Everyone wanted fresh air and changes.
(2)We wanted to test one of our active models as Nezuko. We found suitable location and were eager to see, how they'll blend. At the time we decided to make test photoshoot. I remember, Dzikan once shared with you, that we have photoshoots, which will never see light.
So, basicly, this photoshoot was planned as "never will see light" or "usual test". But as long as we shot it, project started to get better shape and form. Instead of shooting 1 hour, we spent 6 hours. I think, it says a lot. )
When photoshoot was finished, it was decided to save project for hard times. With big "note": "Only for serious times. If we'll be able to reshoot it better way from scretch, we'll do it." So, originally we planned to reshoot it anew in summer. Actually, we still thinking about it.
This was small backstory behind the project. I hope, I was able to explain it properly, because we thought it was important for you to know.
This project was shot before camera upgrade. Rewards will be provided in 2k and 4k, but to our friends who can recieve 8k images, it'll change to 5k (max res). Only this month!
Photos in post are from backstage. In next project post, I'll share with more photos and, as Dzikan noted to me, some stories too.
Have a great day! Dzikan read all your warm wishes and wanted you to know, she was very happy to read each message and comment. She hopes, you are doing great and taking proper care of yourself. And asking for a bit more time for being strong again. )
