"That place and person—I've already found them."

Happy Sylus Day! ❤️❤️

I wanted to clarify and acknowledge some comments/questions regarding the inspiration for this piece.

Regarding the style, it is inspired by iconic editorial and comic illustration styles from the 1950s. Some notable artists from that era are couture artist René Gruau, comic artist Al Williamson, illustrator Joe Bowler, and lots more. The use of bold red colour, strong blacks, as well as the pose and expressions are directly inspired by art of that period. Some examples below!

Regarding the "Veil" series that some people have mentioned. I was not familiar with the work of the artist Kotteri prior to my drawing, but I can definitely see where people are coming from regarding the commonalities. The artist's work is beautiful and I'm flattered by the comparison, however, it is not a direct reference for my piece—I believe the similarities are due to it coming from the same point of inspiration which is this time period of art.

The idea for the retro-inspired artwork started because I had done a vintage portrait edit of my MC, the styling and makeup was actually inspired by Audrey Hepburn. That was essentially the kick-off of my obsession (for lack of a better word) for Sylus/MC and this time period. I really wanted to draw something to reflect that.

Anyway, I wanted to say that I really appreciate those that were respectful with their questions, it's a very valid one and I hope this answers them!

They are literally that couple 🍷

2/ Observer

Kenma has always been naturally observant, it comes with being the self-consious introvert that he is. Ever since he was young, he would notice patterns of behaviour in the people around him and respond accordingly.

Kenma knows Kuroo. He knows when Kuroo is happy, when he’s sad, when he’s bored, when he’s frustrated—so sometimes, even exercise-hater Kenma would step up and be the one that initiates play dates. (“Do you want to go level up?)

Kenma also notices patterns with Kuroo. Such as when Kuroo would be noticeably pent up after weekend visitations with his mom and her other family. Kuroo doesn’t talk about it, and Kenma doesn’t feel the need to ask. Instead he would just quietly get changed out of his pyjamas on those Sunday afternoons, and wait for Kuroo to come find him.

1/ Distance

Kuroo moves out for uni in central Tokyo. At first he would visit home most weekends, but as his schedule got more demanding between school and a new part time job, he would only come back occasionally on holidays and days off. He and Kenma don’t really see each other very often anymore but they still talk and text regularly. Kuroo still texts Kenma like a mom, reminding him to eat and sleep on time.

One evening during a routine phone call, they would talk about the volleyball club and Kenma would mention that he misses Kuroo. And so Kuroo would jump on a 2-hour train ride—on a Tuesday night in the middle of winter—to come see him.

(He’d catch a late night train back and be dead the next morning in class.)
