Yokai Parade, a beautiful and strange summer night.
Let me take you on a journey to Japan, during the 100 Demons Parade. We will join Zero, Null and Fenix as we march among supernatural creatures.
For tonight, you will meet a one-eyed and two-armed umbrella - the Kasa-Obake, a century-old lantern - the Chōchin-Obake, and finally the Ittan-Momen, a flying roll of fabric that is known to attack those who dare cross its path.
For this momentous occasion Fenix will be wearing the famed Kitsune-Men, a fox mask made of paper. And as an homage to Japan, Null and Zero will wear my personal interpretation of traditional garments.
All accessories are designed to be worn by our 3 characters. They can be removed and attached easily through elastics or straps, to be determined during final conception. Null’s “kimono” is made of two distinct parts which can be sewn together or held fast by a button; this allows the shell to be opened by the middle. This also goes for Fenix’s shell which is adorned with the fox mask and the fabric roll. It can be opened by simply removing those two pieces.
Those designs allow for a versatile experience, where accessories and characters can be swapped at will.
I hope you will enjoy this magical evening.
