Back in 2009, I was OBSESSED with Repo! The Genetic Opera. I lived and breathed that movie for years, went to multiple showings hours away from where I lived, met multiple people who worked on the film, did crappy closet cosplays and blasted the soundtrack from a boombox in a local park and looked like an idiot with my friends.
Obviously, this meant I drew a metric TON of fanart as well. But I was like 15, so my art was, well, not the greatest. That being said, I still gave one piece of art to one of the creators, Terrance Zdunich, and got a copy of it signed. And I fuckin TREASURED that shit for so long lmfao.
It’s hard for me to look back at this old art cus it looks soooo bad to me now, but it’s also proof of how much I’ve improved over the last 14 years. So I wanted to see how much better I could do now that I’ve got double the amount of art experience.
There are still plenty of things I struggle with and can’t draw well, but I know 15-year-old Aly would have LOVED to draw her megacrush this well lmao. So this is for her (but it’s also for 29yo Aly, who still kinda has a crush on Graverobber lmfao).
Shoutout to my peeps who’ve seen Repo! A genetic opera, would it be dumb if I made a steampunk genderbent graverobber costume? Like that’s a lot of change from the source material would it be too much?
Ask a Gentern who they prefer, ten out of nine will say the Pavi!
The most dashing! Panty snatching! I will leave your diapers dripping!
My other cosplay from Repo! The Genetic Opera, Pavi Largo. This was taken back in November of last year for Daisho Con, the same weekend as my Grave Robber cosplay.
Mask was cast in liquid latex and had its makeup airbrushed on, and the burns were done with liquid latex, tissue and a Kryolan Burn and Injury wheel.
“Zydrate comes in a little glass vial.
And the little glass vial goes into the gun like battery.
And the zydrate gun goes somewhere against your anatomy
And when the gun goes off, it sparks and you're ready for surgery, surgery...”
