This is one of Yuumei’s characters in her original story “Fisheye Placebo”.

Ever since I read her other story “Knite”, I fell in love with her work and was anxious about what she would come up with next.  She’s definitely one of the most inspiring artists I look up to. I was meant to draw something for Knite back then, but before I knew it, Fisheye Placebo came out. Frey just teased me on chp 0 with that little smirk of his to the point I just wanted to draw him. XD 

Please check out her awesome work! http://yuumei.deviantart.com/

A reader just told me that Fisheye Placebo is already blocked in Dubai.

 

Censoring a comic about censorship… I really shouldn’t be this surprised…

If you’re not familiar with the story, please read the Fisheye Placebo: Intro first :)

Part 1 of Chapter 0 is done :D The chapter is actually very long so I had to split it into many parts. It has a much lighter atmosphere than the intro. The intro is a scene from after the revolution began, now we’re going back in time to see how it all started. Stick along for the ride! :D

(I will be working on Knite ch5 next)

dA version

People always ask me where do I get my inspirations, so I hope this post will answer some of those questions :) If you haven’t read the intro yet, you can find it here:D

I was supposed to finish and post Ch0 -part 1 last Saturday, but due to the sudden news about going Sakura-con, I had to prepare for that instead ^^; (more info here)

Frey - Fisheye Placebo Cosplay - the Making

So, here some photo´s I made, while I was working on my Cosplay for Fisheye Placebo (from Yuumei -http://yuumei.deviantart.com/-). As you see, I first sewed the first parts, painted them with fabric-color and the sewed the rest. The headphones are made so they can glow. (later on I painted the white parts black)

Fisheye Placebo: Intro is now out on deviantART! :D Please view the full intro there since Tumblr’s image quality is kind of bad. 

Fisheye Placebo

Thank you all for being so patient while I worked on the research and preparations. The next part will be coming out soon in a week! 

• Original webcomic by Yuumei (Wenqing Yan)
• Genre: Cyberpunk, Cypherpunk, Fiction, Psychological

Living under an authoritarian regime is not fun. Extensive censorship meant no Facebook, no Youtube, and no porn.

Fortunately for Vance, being a hacker makes scaling the Great Firewall a walk in the park. With the free web at his fingertips, Vance should be happy but he’s not. Maybe there’s something missing in his life that porn just cannot replace.

Maybe it’s a girlfriend.

So it’s not weird at all to hack into the university to assign himself a hot female roommate, right? That’s just taking fate into your own hands, or something along those lines, right?

Too bad fate had other plans in mind and Vance is dragged into a crazy conspiracy to overthrow the government by his most-definitely-not-female roommate.

College is meant to be exciting, but not this exciting. Between failed dates, failed grades, and maybe not quite failed hacks, Vance will slowly come to question the morality of his actions and the true price of freedom.

Is this what democracy looks like?
