Quick fuckin second to toot my own muscular horn: I do aerial hoop, and the pose "walking man" is typically performed with a flexed foot... you get upside down and grab onto the hoop with your feet, like so-
And I did it with POINTED FEET. I'm holding myself onto the hoop with the power of squeezed thighs
And I'm just really proud of myself. That's pretty good I reckon.
I don't have an IRL lyra/cosplay partner so I decided I'm just going to draw the moves until I find one. But this was actually really fun to draw and I experimented with lightning a lot (still not perfect but it is what it is).
August 1st - 7th is (apparently) national clown week, and I have some fun little clown/circus themed goodies available over here, if y'all wanna take a peek. 🎪
finally got to finishing this since finals were taking up sm time 💀 ofc my circus obsessed ass was gonna draw eeveelutions as circus performers 😭 i’m gonna try to do more, but we will see how long my motivation will last
Half an hour of O footage!! Catch it before Cirque snatches it down! Here you can see a few of the critiques I've mentioned lately, namely the shortened cadre act (and what I think is a pretty choppy new arrangement of Ephra, and when did Philemon stop being part of this act?) and missed opportunities for innovation (those blank white sheet backdrops, Cirque, I'm begging you...). We also see a technical difficulty with the big lift towards the end of cerceaux! I wonder if this is the same performance or if they've just been struggling with it recently. Interesting to see them work through it on the fly.
On the other hand we get to hear stunning work as ever from Marjana Sobol (Debbie! Svecounia!!!!), the haunting transition to contortion, and Le Vieux stumping around the stage, which is always a treat. And ahhhh that finale <333 Some interesting new choreography for cerceaux too... maybe they're training a new teammate? The intro was promising but overall it looked weaker than usual.
