Studio Shoot
(Maid Version)

This series of work is set in a studio and shows a central character dressing up in various costumes.

Unlike most cosplay which is a form of self-expression I wanted to make it clear that this was done for the camera.

And that in turn it was for you: the ultimate viewer.

Here the outfit used is modeled on one from a maid cafe, a generic maid uniform.

In contrast other outfits in this series are modeled after specific characters, although they are characters that fall into very specific types: the cat-girl, the nurse and the idol.

You can discuss the artwork here.

This a vector illustration designed to be printed on a large scale.
