Your lipstick stains… 💋
On the front lobe of my left-side brains…
I knew I wouldn't forget you…
And so I went and let you blow my mind ✨

Coach~ do they seem a little bigger? 😏
I’ve been training every day… like a good girl~
I didn’t show everything here…
the rest is waiting for you on Patreon—link in the comments.
@lest630 I’ve put the mask on hold for now—the mold’s already done, so I can pick it back up anytime. Just waiting for my tailor to recover and be able to take commissions again (hopefully).
Towa took 4 months before she was ready to debut. 📸
It’s not just receiving a mask, putting everything on, taking photos—and done…
I actually got Towa’s mask 4 months before I debuted her. During that time, there were outfit fittings that didn’t quite work (like the last photo), pieces that had to be sent back and adjusted, and a lot of trial and error just to get her official look right.
Even posing wasn’t as simple as I thought—I had to learn what felt natural for her, otherwise it just looked… off.
You can see a bit of that in the video. 🎬
I used to think once I had everything… it would be easy.
But somewhere along the way… I realized it doesn’t work like that.
The final photo is just the result—
it’s everything before that… that brings her to life. ✂️
Onii-chan~ what are you doing in the girls’ locker room?
Hmm? You’re our coach today?
Fufu… then you can stay and watch while I get change~
…you wouldn’t waste a privilege like this, right? 😏

@lest630 Yeah, I agree—clothing is a huge factor for me too.
I once had to cancel a mask order because my tailor got sick and couldn’t make the outfit for that character.
@Fleurdrisa Right? I honestly consider "how easy it is to get the outfits" as a major criteria of getting a kig
Of course, there's always the option of custom ordering the outfits as well, which does cost a lot of money, but when I throw away so many $100 outfits, I feel like it's worth it.
Agreed, senpai. Honestly, sometimes outfits are even harder to get right than the mask itself. They need proper adjustments to fit well and keep everything looking proportional.
And yeah, I do the same—I order outfits before the mask arrives so I have time to tweak and fix things if needed.
@Fleurdrisa Totally understand, it's a lot of work to debut a mask! I actually order outfits beforehand to make sure it's ready to go when my mask arrives... and even then, sometimes things happen and debut get put off for months
Sad when that happens, but it's all for the quality!
@sumire_kigu That’s totally fine—just go at your own pace. There’s no real “level of seriousness” in a hobby anyway.
And doing meets with friends sounds really nice too—collabs are always wonderful 🤍
@Fleurdrisa Yeah, it takes time...honestly I was going to wait a little longer before I debuted Elysia, for similar reasons, but I did it earlier because a friend wanted to post pics of us from my first meet, and that sounded like fun.
To be fair, I probably take the hobby less seriously.
@ClaireRieva I agree completely—figuring out how they would move and react is probably the hardest part.
But once it clicks, everything starts to feel right 🤍
@Fleurdrisa I'm the same way when it comes to debuting a new char, studying there body language esp if they were out in public view or how would they react to X,y, z takes time and a bit of practice before the debut can kick off successfully <3
