Hello everyone~
This time, we're going to create the scene from the first episode of the anime "Ya Boy Kongming!" where Eiko performs at BB Lounge during Halloween.
Here's a preview image first.
For the character production, this time we've modified Hololive's Nakiri Ayame as the base model.
Let's dive straight into the production process.

First, of course, is the modification, pinning, and dry-fitting of the white model.
However, what's different this time is that there are still some discrepancies between the original model and Eiko's Halloween outfit, so additional putty was needed for modifications.
After confirming the dry-fit was satisfactory, it was time for painting~
(On a side note, every song from Eiko's debut album "DREAMER" in the manga is fantastic; I sincerely recommend it to everyone!!
After painting and assembly, the character part is complete~

Eiko actually holds a microphone, but it's obscured from the front due to her pose...
It's already been 3 months since I started this... time for a break, and then we'll move on to the scene production part.

As usual, we're using foam board as the base this time.
Next, we made the ceiling and applied the initial coloring.
After installing the self-made DIY LED back panel, we tested the effect.

Next, we placed all the prepared equipment to confirm their positions and installed the stage frame.
Finally, after installing the stage spotlights and Bluetooth speakers, it's complete.

It's finally finished~~~
The total production time for this project was about half a year. I encountered quite a few issues with painting, which led to multiple re-sprays, hence the extended duration. However, I'm quite satisfied with the final product.
When the anime first aired, I was absolutely captivated by this iconic scene in the first episode, not to mention 96neko's breathtaking vocals. That's why I decided I absolutely had to recreate this scene. Although it took a while, that's because I've been waiting for an Eiko figure for so long! The anime's influence is quite good, after all...
All in all, if you haven't seen this anime yet, I highly recommend checking it out; it definitely won't disappoint you!
