PEACH ☆ HEAD MOD ☆ THEY/THEMHi all! I'm Peach and this is my first time head modding! I've modded for and contributed to some other zines so I'm excited to bring this one to life! Tenko is one of my favorite characters and I think it's about time she gets the spotlight!I'll also be serving as cosplay mod here and I'm excited to see everyone's creativity!Experience
DR Critical Dice Zine (Social Mod), Wisteria Blossoms ShinoMitsu Zine (Social/Art Mod) and other zine as contributor.
Q ☆ ART MOD ☆ HE/HIM SHE/HERHello!! My name is Q and this is my first time modding for a zine!! I'm super excited to work with the artists for this project and I can't wait to see the wonderful ideas you all come up with for our favorite aikido master :DExperience
This is actually my first time modding! I have done both page art and merch for past zines tho including the Everybody Loves Hajime (page art, spot art), Nevermind Regality Zine (page spread, social media dtiys creator), Critical Dice Zine (page art), Past Present and Future zine (page spread, comic spread), Sweet and Sour Zine (digital desktop bg, sticker), Into the Spotlight (cover art), and Faith and Strength (sticker sheet) so I have quite a bit of contributor experience under my belt!
VIX ☆ WRITING MOD ☆ SHE/HERI am multilingual and happy to use that to your benefit. Fun fact, I have been in the Danganronpa fandom from the beginning. I am terribly awkward and shy- so most of my stuff is still behind psueds and anons. That said, working on a fan manga based on the world of the visual novel is bringing me back to my earlier fandom experiences. If you ask- you may find out that I have several buns named after characters. Generally, I am a big old nerd- so if you need anything at all- even a brainstorm buddy- hit me up anytime.Experience
Little of everything really, I am a Jill of hats for multiple fandoms and events. Zine wise is pretty dense- but I have contributed as a writer/artist/merch artist for several zines in my time. Random Mod Experience includes:
Enchanted: BNHA Fairytale Events (Writing and Head Mod), Through the Gate: Stargate SGU (Writing Mod), The Motley Crew - A BNHA Rockstar Zine (Art and Head Mod),
Lyrical Lyre (Writing Mod)
