I haven't finished this yet, but I wanted to share it anyway
My concept was to visualize how I see and feel the connection within this trio
Hizashi, as a public figure, obviously has pre-programmed cliches that he plays on autopilot, selecting and switching out tapes. He plays them for others, but he doesn't really have a 'tape' of his own, or perhaps he just has no one to play it for. It’s too painful for him to rewatch his memories of Oboro, which is why the tape containing this crucial person stays with Aizawa
Aizawa is the steadfast keeper of that single tape, deeply bound by the weight of this memory. His capture scarf is almost always with him, essentially becoming the personification of that cloudy film reel. He accepted this as a part of himself a long time ago, turning the memory into his anchor and compass
Yamada himself would be too terrified to look back and play something like this on his own; it's vital for him to stay afloat due to his media presence and his anger issues. Shota serves as the perfect counterweight here, providing him with a grounding, stable presence.
Oboro is featured here as a silhouette, elusive and completely recognizable. He only comes into existence while the tape is rolling
For the memory to actually play, you need Hizashi’s cassette player and Aizawa’s tape—only then does the blurred image of their past come alive.
I’d love to flesh out this concept and draw more of it, but I don't have the capacity right now. If you like this idea or want to use it, please tag/credit me as the author 🙏
I also wanted to drop all the sketches I've been too nervous to post until now
I’ve been wanting to share these sketches and headcanons for a while now. Things have been really heavy for me lately, and throwing myself into my work is the only thing that makes sense right now. If you have a moment and feel like it, I’d love to hear what my art evokes in you. It would really help me out right now. Thank you so much in advance 🙏
