Description
A friendly desert community where the sun is hot,the moon is beautiful,
and mysterious lights pass overhead
while we all pretend to sleep.Welcome to Night Vale.
series: Welcome to Night Vale
Jin as Cecil Palmer
We've been meaning to incorporate more establishing shots for our shoots, to give viewers a better idea of the kind of setting our characters exist in. This series presented a great opportunity for us to try it out! Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast so it's a very non-visual medium for storytelling. Yet its world has a very distinct atmosphere, and we're given very vivid mental images through their words and music. My friends and I tried to capture the setting of Night Vale as we imagined it. Included in the set are images such as: A more realistic view of the WtNV logo. The Glow Cloud hurling animal carasses on the town below. Hooded Figures which one should not approach.
Fun fact: We took all of these photos at places that are a walking distance from where I stay. So I actually live in this Night Vale, ahaha.
Also, the second anniverasry of Welcome to Night Vale is coming up very soon! June 15! How thrilling!

Out of curiosity: how did you do Cecil's tattoos? They look REALLY well done!

I have to ask, where did this sort of looks/designs for Cecil come from? I've noticed a lot of people use this white hair purple tattoos etc look but I can't figure out where it originated from. I'll admit I haven't fully caught up yet (I'm somewhere in the 30s) but thus far he hasn't described himself...

The images come from the imaginations of fans everywhere 
I didn't think of the tattoos at first but I saw it on a lot of fan art and the idea really appealed to me. (Only I don't think they are actual tattoos, and are more like symbols that just grew on his skin one day due to some prophecy or whatever else makes sense in Night Vale.) I think the tatts are a nice visual feature that makes him easily distinguishable, and works as a good contrast element to the way he's dressed.

I'm going to be going to one of their live shows, I'm so happy!
It's going to be glorious, one I finally catch up. Guess I know how I'm sending my first dew days of summer vacation.
How'd you manage the glow cloud?

That's fantastic news!! I'm sure it'll be wonderful! As much as I would love to go to one too, I am at a geographical disadvantage being on the other side of the world and all, hahah. I hope the shows keep going until a day that could be there to catch one! But yes, do catch up! The latest episodes are just whooooaaaaa you'll love it.
Oh, I was just lucky enough to catch the Glow Cloud passing by my neighborhood.

A friend and I are going, itll be great! I'm backlogged on everything I watch/listen to, so many things...
Its a truly beautiful glow cloud.

I've got to ask, are the dead animals being rained by the glow cloud photoshopped in, set up, or were you lucky enough to get animal-shaped debris being blown off the roof of the building?

Beautiful. I love that you're incorporating the atmosphere and setting into your cosplay. It really fills out the characters and showcases the photographer's talent. Stunning imagery.
And now I might go listen to these podcasts. Yet another fandom you and your friends have turned me on to

It would have been difficult to incorporate all these elements into a single photo, so I really do appreciate the value of having a photo set with establishing shots!
Night Vale is truly wonderful and unique! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I squee'd so hard when I saw this! I usually only see fanart where Cecil is an older gentleman (which is good since I have Ossan Moe), but it's also nice to see a younger/cuter version of him.

To be honest, my mental image of him should look more mature than I do, but I have to work with what I have!

YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CECIL!! WAHH HOW ARE YOU THIS BEAUTIFUL??

YES. Oh my word, Jin. Also, did you actually draw the tattoos on, or did you edit them in post?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Your Night Vale drawings are really cool!) I do draw them on as much as I can! If it weren't so time-consuming, I would want to add more! Of course sometimes the neat-freak in me can't help doing some cleanup on post!

Thank you so much! I always wonder if anyone actually looks at my gallery and its amazing that someone as busy as I imagine you are, took the time to!
When I did my Cecil(ia, went for the genderbend because I wanted to see a nice version. It still needs work though.) I had a friend paint my arms with snazaroo... that was such a pain. I think something like the markers they use for tattoo outlines would work well, and they are decently cheap.
The work in post is not jarring by any means, it really just makes them look perfect. Such a hard balance to strike!

Finally on dA! This is one of my favorite cosplays yet, mainly cause the tattoos look great.

Thank you! I really enjoyed having the tattoos! I wish they'd last longer!

I read your tumblr tutorial on how to make them. If you used something henna, it would stay for about 2-4 weeks. Airbrush tattoos also last pretty long. I've heard of people using sharpies and DIY dye tattoos, but I've never used them myself. (:
