Back in their early days Apo often hid his face or leaned his head on Mile's shoulder:
However then the shift* happened and nowadays it's mostly aborted motions/hovering above in public:
IG Live from Mumbai trip March '23:
IG Live from Hong Kong trip Nov '23:
IG Live from RSFF trip Dec '23:
Be on Game Special Dec '23:
Only time they pulled through in public was at the Man Suang Exclusive Dinner, a rather private event for a very few lucky fans in Feb '23:
+Bonus: The one moment from The Hidden Character where we don't know if it's aborted or if they pulled through:
[*The shift happened somewhere in Summer 2022. Before Mile & Apo were obviously already close, but afterwards they became even closer. Like the way they look at each other, how they talk about each other and their connection in interviews and at the same time sharing less of their private moments than before. What exactly happened we can only guess though.]
I’m never going to be able to watch another crime show after watching Hannibal. It would just be too boring. Like what, they were stabbed? Ok… and? It that it?? No artistically mutilated bodies? No beautifully metaphorical reasoning behind it? No “I-need-to-write-an-entire-book-about-this-person-because-they’re-so-insane-and-fascinating-and-I-just-need-to-know-how-their-mind-works” characters?
It’s fiction, you get creative liberties SO DON’T WASTE THEM AND TELL THE EXACT SAME BORING STORY ABOUT MURDER
I love season 3 Will so much because he knew Hannibal wanted to fuck him so bad and he used that to his advantage except he underestimated how badly he wants Hannibal to fuck him bro almost popped a vein at the mention of another dude’s name, like calm down he ain’t getting any in maximum security prison and also remember how you have a wife and a kid at home?
color studies 17 April 2024 — apo nattawin (pop edition)
timelapse below the cut (original sketches here)
wanted to play around with various styles and apo's skintone because i struggle with color and color pallettes on a good day but add in skin tones, and i feel like i'm going bonkers.
i especially love playing with unusual backgrounds and line art, so that was what i explored here. making an outlandish color choice in the hair or line art and then working to balance that choice into something cohesive.
obviously inspired by andy warhol's pop art, the watermelon colored apo was directly based on one of his marilyn monroe prints.
