Finally got to take some more professionals pic recently with a classmate of mine I love how they came out!! 😽

Why do they always change the alt characters...

I had a really fun day yesterday! My college had a spring fling event and I met this furry there. I also went to the reopening of my local Asian grocery store and I met a Kemonomimi and a Lolita :D

I played at an ANZAC day service and had to be mat gal for the morning. Then went out with mates when everything finished. ANZAC day, lest we forget🫡. ANZAC day, for non-auzzies and non-kiwis is a day commemorating the boys lost in ww2, we wear poppies, the red symbolizes the blood spilled and the black the anguish of the wives who lost their sons, brothers and husbands. Pretty heavy day 2day, but i had a pretty good arvo. I played my flugel and got two photos of the after-timw of the service:D

It’s helpful to learn what gyaru is for beginners, but I don’t understand why the western gals are so obsessed with fitting into a box. It’s a pet peeve for me because substyles are just what was trending, because someone tried something new, something they liked and thought looked fashionable.

I think newbies have such a hard time with gyaru coords, because they think that it’s alternative fashion so it has to look ”odd” or really different, when in reality most gyaru outfits are really basic. I wish more newbies would know that gyaru outfits are just supposed to be stylish!

It used to be more popular to divide your outfit into sweet or bitter, basically soft colors and lace vs black and leather for example. It would be way more helpful to learn if you like heisei trends or reiwa trends more.

Obviously I don’t care if someone really likes to dress distinctly in a substyle, it’s good to love gyaru and be yourself! I just think it’s not good advice for newbies that they totally have to fit in a box, instead just look at magazines to learn what gyaru is and experiment until you know what looks good on you!

In magazines they often called outfits a certain substyle or they had fun names, because it makes the text interesting and it’s a part of graphic design.

I think people should grow their own style in gyaru and not worry so much about others opinions, that’s what being gyaru is about after all. I think a lot of beginners forget gyaru is supposed to be fun. It’s fun to wear makeup, do your hair in a new style from a magazine, try different lashes, wear different clothes and make new outfits! Don’t take gyaru so seriously it’s a fashion and life subculture. Be yourself🌸!!

my first attempt!! what can i do to make this look better? (the eyelashes are edited btw)

Hello! This oc of mine is for a random story idea I had in my head for a while, which is a maid place whose maids are secretly toxic sea monsters based off actual sea creatures! This one is inspired by the ‘Flamboyant Cuttlefish’ and I chose this one be THE gyaru maid.

Mainly, I want some advice anyhow since I’m not sure how to balance the gyaru style with also making sure she has references to the Flamboyant Cuttlefish. Because after taking a break and looking back at the drawing, I‘m not sure if it screams gyaru really… Any advice would be appreciate! :D (Except actual art advice, I’m trying…)

Also, I want some more sea creatures I can turn into gyaru maids, so please suggest some! :D
