oh wait i could offer shoots at anime detour

ohhh no I'm not but I'd love to be!! i will def be limiting slots to ease back into it but haven't picked a number or method yet so another place to post would be great!

the last time I took paid shoots was uh.... Katsu 2016? so it has been over a decade and boy has the game changed. I'd hoped to do some private shoots this winter to get back into things but..... The Horrors

btw cosplayers at fanfest, I will be booking shoots that weekend!! they will be paid but discounted as I'm still shaking off the rust

I haven't decided when/how many/actual rates yet but stay tuned 📸

I think surround sound audio for this game would make me CRY OH GOD

yeah since there are sinuses surrounding the eyes, they can swell up when inflamed and cause problems there too 😭
