>>9015951
It was pretty tame in comparison to other threads tho that didn't get deleted.
I really didn't want to for the sake of my wallet but I've been lurking these threads and as corny as it is.. think I'm getting into it. A lot.
I've read some of the reasons for menhera and think it would be a good coping thing for my issues, that would be cute and stylish and make me feel good. I'm excited.
>>9016009
Sorry, forgot to contribute. Pretend my little spiel made sense, also.
i loove menhera, and especially the silhouette of oversized t shirt over a short skirt & thigh highs, but the only really nice menhera shirts i can ever find have japanese writing on them.
as a really really white motherfucker who speaks zero japanese, it makes me feel 1. like an idiot for wearing a shirt i cant even read 2. like a weeb 3. kinda racist for using someone else's language just as an aesthetic thing
thoughts?
>>9016087
It's fine, it doesn't make you a weeaboo or racist. Think of those Superdry clothes, ask anyone who's wearing one of those what the Japanese writing says and I bet they can't even read the 'shinasai' part.
>>9016091
>>9016087
Most shops state what is written on the shirt anyways and in the worst case you can ask here.
i adore omocat's stuff, way too expensive so i'll probably never buy any, but a couple things theyve got now seem very menhera if coorded well

Personally I'd be more weirded out by wearing things with the star of David on them. It's on about the same level of wearing crosses but not everyone is bothered about it.
If you want to feel like less of a weeb wearing shirts with random Japanese on it just consider the fact that Asians will also wear shirts with English/French on them without understanding the language.
>>9016287
>Personally I'd be more weirded out by wearing things with the star of David on them.
Especially awkward considering the history of them being used in clothing, haha.
That's also true about the English and French. Hell, people in English-speaking countries even wear shirts with random English on them, look at young girl's clothing like Hollister or American Eagle that just say random things like "Believe".
>>9016015
Is Zombie Unicorn Jewelry decent quality? I like a few of their things but unsure if I should purchase.
>>9016406
I have a few pairs of her pill earrings and they're okay. Not super amazing or anything but I don't regret buying them.
>>9016406
I own a lot of her pieces. Really like them, her horns are particularly really good
>>9016844
Sex Pot just got them in stock.
>>9016406
No, her jewelry looks like shit from her photos. Also her designs are tacky
Anyone know the source for these?
>>9016009
I've already spent a good amount on menhera merch and I don't regret it yet, so.
>>9016406
It's okay. Like the other anon, I don't regret buying them. >>9016964 hasn't even bought anything, so don't take them seriously.
>>9016406
It's okay. I've bought earrings, a badge, horns and a ring. I've had to glue the ring back together quite many times
>>9017479
They are by sucredoll.theshop.jp (with a black version coming soon), they used to make original designs only but are mostly a Taobao reseller now.
>>9017518
Thanks anon! Wow, no kidding. And the only item I wanted was sold out :( maybe I can get the black instead.
There was a kemomimi suit maker who had really cute masks. I can't remember her name, but she also had a cyclops kigu similar to that one. Anyone have the name of get pixiv booth? Or know if she still sells those masks?
Are there any menhera or gurokawa bands/performers?
>>9017841
You mean Ozawa Dango as she is the only one doing cyclops kigs, she only sells her heads at conventions.
>>9018241
http://www.homicidols.com/ is delicated to that kind of idol groups.
>>9018295
I mean whoever this is. She goes by qiqi, I think? She had a pixiv booth with a lot of interesting masks (the ones you use when you're sick), but I can't find the link anymore. She makes fursuits and one of her suits is a cyclops, unless this is the same person, in which case excuse my faggotry.
>>9018724
you're right about that being off topic but not about it being interesting.
>>9016277
I have a mighty need.
>>9018320
Yes but she bought the cyclops mask off of Ozawa.

I must be mentally ill to be thinking like this
>>9019502
Yeah, that's a little fucked.
Can't say I didn't think of a noose-based coord though....
...I need to stop.
>>9019672
I seen a lot of shirts on ttrinity with nooses and even pic related on this post >>9018910 have two girls being hanged so it's not bad really but it should be done in a tasteful matter I guess. But might as well have fun with it.
Anyone have any hair inspo? I have a hime cut but want to see what other type of bangs and style I can get that would look good for menhera.

I think I've seen these socks on taobao/AE before but I didn't bookmark it. Anyone know what search term to try? Tattoo tights isn't bringing up much. I'm gonna ask in the taobao thread too
>>9020057
You find them while searching for "Japan Pill" 药丸日本tattoo.
>>9019852
Sakanako wears nooses around her neck for some of her outfits (pic related). I don't get why you say it should be tasteful tho, Menhera isn't that in the first place with all the kawaii self-harming girls considering that it is about issues getting hidden behind the surface of kawaii culture.
>>9019852
>hair inspo
For that, you may have a look at https://twitter.com/candyesyrup considering the shop part of their salon is THE hotspot for goods by Menhera indie artists.
>>9020231
That noose looks really bad. I love menhera and I know that it's about mental health and stuff, but for me I guess there's a difference between wearing something that has a print of something and actually wearing the object?
I guess I just think that the noose is just very over the top and attention-grabby for what is meant to be a casual style. I don't know, it just rubs me the wrong way.
>>9020369
>has a print of something and actually wearing the object?
By your logic, nobody should be wearing syringes and pills either. Also, Sakanako is one of the founders of the Menhera Exhibition committee and Kuua Oyasumi's art sempai, she knows what she is doing and if it rubs you the wrong way, Menhera obviously isn't for you.

It may just be my family, but the holocaust is treated like a kind of obsession? I know it's a traumatic and defining event in our history but it's like a hereditary mental scarring
>Find new distant family members?
>Talk about the holocaust
>Political discussions?
>End up talking about the holocaust
>It's brought up somehow in about 70% of family events.
So for me it does feel like a kind of mental illness of sorts
>>9024110

"newfag"
I made the tutorials in 2011 so YOU (the actual newfag) can buy in taobao and post it here. I'm not sure why do you think that not knowing any store that sell menhera (mostly because there is not translation to chinese ) transform you in a newfag. So , fuck you.

Let's get back on topic ok?
Has anyone tried to make a menhera lolita coord with this dress? (Before someone asks it's BunnyandBlack's 'Nurse'.)
>>9025274
Hardly anyone got the dress in the first place.
>>9025215
http://fymenhera.tumblr.com/post/132444297602/are-there-any-taobao-shops
>>9025215
Well, if you weren't a newfag, you would have checked the archived threads and seen that people ask that question like ever single thread
>>9016091
Which is even funnier when you realise it's an English brand and the Japanese text reads something like "really not wet".
>>9026727
What's the kanji on the bottom left necklaces?
>>9026862
"Doku", which means poison.
The Hell Babies book is great and smells like delicious plastic
>>9025294
I thought they were fucking rereleasing this. God dammit, I just want my creepy kitschy lolita dress.
>>9027853
me too anon.. it's pretty cute. Not sure why other gulls hate it so.
>>9027853
They already did last year as fugly casual dress that nobody bought.
>>9028140
And the extra fugly new colorway was in their store in January
http://bunnyandblack.tumblr.com/post/138229965068/were-in-love-with-the-new-color-addition-to-our
Should be mentioned that the shop is pretty much dead, they only sell premades these days and don't bother to notify people via their newsletter about rereleases.
>>9028149
I love how they sell all this ugly shit and refuse to sell the ONE item people actually want.
>>9028498
They don't because nobody did buy the ugly redesign.
>>9028502

>here's the print you know and love
>but now, in a saggy ballsack cut that will look like shit on EVERY body type!

Its probably because that shit is easier and faster to make than a real dress.
But lord, those are so bad? Like if they were an underbust thing worn with a blouse, it would be cute.
>>9028710
Those girls look absolutely disgusting

for all your nevada-tan inspired coords
I wanted to practice beading and decided to make a little patch for a friend. I figured it might be appreciated here.
>>9032467
it's shittily done desu.
>>9032520
Some say gurokawa is Japanese for creepycute and some say they are different and creepycute is some tumblrshit, I remember gulls fighting over this multiple times. Don't mind other anons desu. I don't think anything wrong with your question.
>>9032520
>>9032593
Just google "グロかわ" and all your questions answer themself.
What would you guys think of a sort of casual menhera coord? not so much of a coord as it would be an edgy normie outfit but i feel like it'd be really cute. I love the style of menhera but I feel like a lot of the j-fashion elements don't work for my body type or practical purposes
for reference: i'm 5'2" and pretty busty (34DDD) so it's hard for me to pull off the boxy silhouette without looking tubby (which i am not)
>fitted menhera-style t-shirt
>destroyed black shorts
>thigh highs and black oxfords
>maybe some subtle accessories like choker, earrings, bracelet
>appropriately sickly cute makeup
does this count as menhera or would it be more "menhera inspired"? i'm thinking i'd go for a more dark color scheme what with the shirt/thigh highs/accessories, like reds and blacks
>>9033593
Don't get angry, it's just /cgl/ being assholes. Don't take it seriously, I'm sure you're a cute chub. If it makes you feel any better, I'm 126 at 5'4", so I'm also petty chubby.
>>9033506
I think menhera isn't so much a full sub style as much as it is an element itself (but I might be wrong, so maybe others will comment). So your outfit does sound menhera, though subtle than many of the examples I've seen throughout the last few threads. It sounds cute. I say go for it.
>>9033607
thank you for the actual response!
subtlety was what i was going for, i'm not sure i trust myself to bring on the theme strong without being tacky about it. i agree about the element, i think, but it's pretty strongly defined in what it is and isn't
>>9033612
I pray never.
>>9033621
I understand! I think early on, you should definitely start subtle until you're more comfortable with it and see how those around you react.
>>9033506
>casual menhera coord
you do know this is a casual fashion right?
>>9033643
A-anon, please.

I wanna see an OTT menhera coord. What would that sucker look like?
Sauce on this shirt?
>>9027771
I have this book and can confirm - smells like delicious plastic
>>9033687
I guess the outfits where actual medical clothes are worn count as that, nurse ones seem common.

It was a collab that was only avaiable for very limited time on Nemutai Company's shop as well as Park's local store.

Pic for anon who wondered about OTT menhera
>>9034387
That's not Menhera, that's shit. If you look like an abuse victim you are doing it wrong, all articles regarding Menhera, included the japanese ones, say this is the point where you make fun of a fashion that is about a serious topic.
>>9034387

>bad quality
>not even close to the theme

In addition to this anon:

>>9033662
yeah casual was definitely the wrong phrasing, but I was really wondering how subtle one could go while still having it be menhera
>>9034490
I like this a lot.
>>9034560
Not the same anon but it is definitely possible considering a lot of outfits have the focus only on the printed top piece and quite a lot have the medical part not visible at first glance, pic related.

and US anons, do you feel weird wearing the star of david that they have on so many of their clothes? I can do the crosses, idk why the star makes me uncomfortable
>>9034964
>>9034966
Okay so you seem confused.
I make menhera jewelry, including pill capsule earrings.
I'm a weekly visitor to the health clinic, and some of the nurses wanted to buy some of my jewelry.
Next you'll be saying CherryCheezy's stuff isnt menhera.

>>9034735
Probably because crosses are mass produced on everything from jewelry to house decorations while Jewish religious symbols are far less so. Seeing crosses so much being on just about everything makes you not really think twice about wearing it even if you aren't religious but given the decidedly jack of the Jewish symbols everywhere plus the history where Jews were branded with the star to mark them for persecution and death as opposed to the cross basically being the symbol for "Ey we're gonna come fuck your shit up unless you convert" it means it more uncomfortable to wear casually.
>>9034465
Make up is a part of all fashion.
>>9032121
ayyy
>>9036445
Okay so if it's part of it, then that could qualify for gurokawa which is what I tagged it as.
>>9034735
For me it's the opposite, I feel weird wearing crosses but fine wearing the star of David. Maybe because I'm Jewish.
Too shitty?
>>9036868
I'll give you honest critique:
The ribbon looks cheap and I'm not a fan of the seed beads filling the syringe. I feel resin or liquid would look better
>>9036444
Makeup is a PART of fashion but isn't the sole thing that defines it. Byojaku doesn't automatically equal menhera anymore than black lipstick automatically equals goth
>>9036871
Should I try replacing the bow with some other type of ribbon? The backing was a bit of a last resort to try and cover up the blue part of the syringe.
I'm not very familiar with using resin to fill/make things so I had to settle with beads for the moment. Thought I would have really loved to have filled it with something else!
For DIY syringe inspiration, I suggest looking at https://twitter.com/yuk1nk0_bijou as she made them a lot for her indie brand before disappearing into the nowhere.
this thread is 50% menhera and 50% shitpost
mfw no gurokawa
i'd post if I had any inspo
I already feel like if Listen Flavor produces a new print each week considering how often the designer posts new previews (pic related is going to be another Gurokawa top).
>>9036876
Sometimes I see people putting liquid in syringes. I don't think it's water, mineral oil maybe? Although I'm not sure how you can dye that. Go through the trims section at your local fabric store and see if you find ribbons that are more matte
>>9036876
another anon here, maybe if you're going the bead route, make the really nice quality, like nice glass seed bead, yours just looks like you made it from a childs section at the moment
and for filling instead of resin you can use oil snd an oil based dye to colour it (I think gel food dyes work)
>>9036868
This looks like a cheap pen for children.
Is anyone here from Aus? How much does shipping usually cost? Also, are there any western-based menhera stores?
Sorry for being such a noob, bumping w/ photo
>>9015919
I'm currently working on some menhera themed art etc., and I'm looking to sell it on shirts and so forth.
I'm poor atm so I can't have them custom printed myself- would people here consider purchasing stuff off Redbubble for example? Or is there another similar site that you would prefer to use?
Until I have the funds to custom print and sell myself I have to use some kind of service (e.g Redbubble). However I want to get good reach with the right audience and also have prices people can afford.
tldr; would you gulls buy menhera clothing through sites like redbubble etc. or is there a similar alternative you would prefer?
>>9037763
You maybe should research what printing quality you like best, Spreadshirt and Zazzle are popular too but each got different issues when it comes to dark shirts.
>>9037763
Id be totally cool with buying of redbubble! Depending on how good the art is ofc
Id love to see an example of your art if you feel like posting

>>9037961
That's really good advice actually, thankyou! I'll investigate printing quality before i make a decision.
>>9038607
looks cute would most certainly buy it if it was up on redbubble or the like
>>9038607
You can still do what cheezy does and do preorders. Use the money you get from that to cover for the production costs (and of course then some for reasonable profit)
>>9038607
Aww thats really cute
Seconding what the other anon said about preorders. Its more work but you'll probably make a bigger profit
Also maybe less risk of art theft?
>>9038631
>>9038682
You guys have a good point about the preorders
However I want to establish that i'll have some form of customer base before I commit to custom printing etc.
I think for now I'm gonna settle on using Society6 as the print quality has good reviews, and i'll hopefully develop from there!

That's what the shoplist in OP is for, international shops ARE in fact supposed to be included but you only find one because most other shops are resellers of Listen Flavor or shitty *cough* KawaiiGoods's prints *cough*.
>>9039333
Okay anon is being sort of a dick-I say because there's a lot of "iffy" menhhera animu art that no one says anything about including the beloved CherryCheezy's (who you cannot say is proportional)-but they are right about the tilt of her face not matching the tilt of her head. Another 2 things is that her left leg is nearly straight up and down, which makes the pose seem stiff (at first I thought her leg was part of a box) and her right arm doesn't match up with where her shoulder is. It is cute and most people won't notice those kinds of things but maybe find someone willing to redline mistakes for you if you want to improve.

>>9039433
I don't usually do this and I haven't drawn in quite a while so take this with a grain of salt.
It looks awkward because you've matched the arms and legs up. People don't usually sit with one hand on each leg like that, it comes across very unnatural and stiff (especially including the perfect right angle and her arm being glued to her thigh. It's strangely geometric). Obviously I don't know what's going on off the right side of the canvas for her legs to go up like that, but if you wanna keep it you'll probably want to lay her down, scooch her bum back, or lean her back on her hand or something; it'll be easier to see what's going on and she'll look less stiff. Otherwise, drop a leg down and give her some room to breathe.
There's also an odd tangent between her hair, back sock and bottom of her right hand, be careful of matching lines like that.
I think the way you cropped it really isn't helping the whole broken back thing. Something's definitely weird there though it's hard for me to tell what you've done (whether the back's long and the angle is too sharp/legs coming back too far, or if you've made it curve into a U). I know I draw things really fucking long, but hopefully you can get something out of it anyway

chill out and stop going off topic guys

There's nothing gory, scary or sick about this, so yeah, I'd consider it uchuu, since cyclopes are kinda a theme in uchuu too
>>9050408
Cyclopets are a Gurokawa doll collection and guess what, there ia kawaii in Gurokawa for a reason and no, cyclops girls are NOT uchuu but Gurokawa like all monsters.
Gurokawa=/=Gore
Gurokawa=japanese name for Creepy Cute
>>9050408
Itabags have almost always a glitter transparent layer, nothing uchuu about it.
>>9050136
Am I blind cause I don't see anything menhera about this? Super cute though
>>9050883
Hard to see, but the bear is wearing an eyepatch.
>>9050152
Backing the other anon up, this doesn't look gurokawa by itself, but it has a lot of uchuu vibes. I assumed it was a misfire honestly
>>9051186
Newfag detected, there is nothing uchuu at this. Neither monsters or itabags have anything to do with retro-future.
>>9047904
This feels very pastel goth (especially the purple ones) and takes me back to 2012. I like it in a nostalgic sort of way
>>9051812
Looks uchuu to me, the monster looks more like an alien
>>9052013
Cyclopets are just as much uchuu as Monster High dolls, they are themed after cute body horror.

>cyclops girls are NOT uchuu but Gurokawa like all monsters
A monster isn't automatically gurokawa. Cyclopses fit in great with uchuu since like >>9052013 said, they look like aliens. Especially the one in the bag.
They might have some creepy aspect to it because they only have one eye, but it's not really enough to be gurokawa on its own
Would the bag have other things in it, like eyeballs or other more creepy motfits, then yeah, sure, I'd call it gurokawa, but with all the sparkles and the stars in the eyes, and the stickers that the person added, it looks much more like uchuu.
Oh boy, time for another back-and-forth about "is it" or "isn't it"
Monster is cute and/or (kind of) creepy: hey it works for gurokawa
Monster looks alienish, has clear alien references: hey it works for uchuu
stop trying to apply Lolita Laws™ to all jfash because it doesn't work and it makes you look stupid trying to hold on to your little rules so hard; overlap happens, deal with it
Inbf people call this uchuu too.
>>9052107
How stupid are you?

Go back to /x/
heyo guys, artist anon from a while back again!
also, not looking to start more wild discussion like earlier, more just looking for simple yes/no answers.
I've updated the shirt design and i'm wondering if people here would consider it purchase worthy? I'm in the process of recieving manufacturing quotes, so i can't give a ballpark figure on what they would cost, just curious to see if I would have a potential market for shirts like this (pic related obviously)
>>9052850
eh. the style and anatomy on that illustration is really wonky, so im gonna have to say no. the rest of the shirt is pretty cool but the deviantart-quality anime girl is really holding it back
>>9052850
I would buy it if the girl's feet/legs weren't so odd looking plus I think the dress on her is too clashing with everything else to work. I love the overall design of your shirt though, it's cute.
>>9052858
This, also the pose is also really similar to another menhera shirt that was posted in these threads (I think it was of a nurse girl? I didn't save it) and I'd be interested to see an overlay if anyone has it the other picture.
>>9052850
If there was no animu girl it would be a nice t-shirt.
>>9052850
character looks really cheap. If you're gonna make the pose so stiff, at least really over stylise the character to give it something interesting
>>9053165
That's not the pic I was talking about, and from what I can see it's not close enough to be traced from the one you linked because the image you referred to actually has, you know, depth
>>9053165
i think you mean 'copied'. yeah overall it's a pretty unimaginative design, if you're gonna make a menhera waifu do it right
>>9053165
I found it in the archive, this was the picture I was talking about
the angles/stiffness are much more similar to this than the one you linked
>>9052850
She did change the pose in response to critique, it's obvious to anyone who knows anything about drawing. Doubt it's traced, it's just an extremely common "kawaii" pose.
Anatomywise, issues I see: first, the outline of her collarbones is off (I'm assuming that's what those lines are below her neck). The "v" should be the meeting of two muscles coming from her neck, as pictured. Second, the bloomers make her legs look odd (which is why people see your anatomy as messed up but can't pinpoint why). You drew her bloomers as if they are separate/not one piece, and her legs are already "disconnected" from her body by the fact that they emerge out of her dress at an angle (if that makes sense). If you connected the bloomers/not separated them down the middle, it would look worlds better.
The final thing is more a personal preference, but maybe someone else want to comment on this- her outfit is a bit uninteresting. The elements are menhera, but they don't seem connected to one another. Maybe her choker could have a syringe on it to match her tights, or repeat the wing motif somewhere on her clothes. It's a little hard to say whether I think her outfit is too plain or too busy without the background included. Could you post a picture of the whole design (the one on the shirt) blown up?
Also, I've seen shittier menhera art. I've seen shittier anime shirt sell in general. You shouldn't let that make you aim low, obviously, but this is a solid start. I like the general design for the t-shirt (the giant pills are super cute), though I'm not sure how I'd feel about the border prints or the grid. With the manufacturer, is the shirt gonna be fitted or just baggy?
>>9052005
That's probably because it had a lot of overlap with Gurokawa in the early days.
>>9052850
Id prefer it in a lighter color, like pastel pink or something. Also, the details in the back are cute, but they're probably gonna make it more expensive since you've gotta print both sides.
>>9053355
wow, I love this outfit a lot, it only the skirt was pleated and not just a petti, seeing pettis as skirts ruffles mine.
>>9053615
You don't want mentally ill people in the menhera community? I get that post is kind of weird and off-topic from the fashion itself but just block her or blacklist her name.
