My page artwork for the 2024 edition of the Vocaloid fandom zine about fashion! This was the first official zine I participated in and I was so excited to work with so many amazing artists. I drew Eleanor Forte for this year in classic lolita fashion. I considered a couple different lighting options and times of day that would have dramatically changed how the colors looked, but the team voted for the pastel daylight scene. This piece was the start of my more painterly rendering style in recent times.
