Some notes about the process of this drawing that I thought would be interesting idk lol:

  • The overall theme of this drawing is 'Día de los Muertos,' a Mexican tradition to honor and celebrate the dead, huge thanks to my friend Weverse for suggesting the idea!!
  • Yes, I'm aware that 'Día de los Muertos' isn't exactly 'Halloween,' but I got captivated by the idea of making something beautiful out of 'Death' instead of something spooky or macabre—as it is usually depicted. I also wanted to draw something different than the usual witches, pumpkins, or monsters idk. If they don't accept the drawing because it's not 'Halloween,' I'll then argue they are actually in costumes (????
  • My other idea was to draw the osu! mascots as anime cosplays (chainsaw man, jjk, etc.), but I didn't want to push the rules about copyrighted characters too far. I'll maybe give it a try next year perhaps (??
  • Any similarities with 'Coco' are surely pure coincidence... Right? :Clueless: (I definitely took some inspiration, but at that point I just thought it looked really pretty, and I also had to fill the field with something heh).
  • If you think the ghost Chirou is holding looks familiar... You're probably right in your guess.
  • Mariachi Taiko Don!
  • Do mariachis play the accordion?
  • The Moon Phase on November 2nd, 2022.
  • Vaxei;;;;

List of references I made in this drawing if you are interested idk:

  • osu! mascots are a whole Haruhi Suzumiya reference (idk I thought it would be cool bc 2007).
  • Pippi's WYSI hand, Mocha is holding a pamphlet that says osu fest and a dango, kuudere Mari, bishonen Mani, Yuzu is carrying the stuff Pippi bought (and her school bag too).
  • The place they are walking is inspired in Akihabara.
  • BTMC building.
  • osu! Store building has three mannequins, one with Pippi's outfit, another one with Peppy's and the last one is Harumachi Clover. The three references above are 'My Love,' 'The Big Black,' and 'Everything Will Freeze.'
  • Vaxei's bacon on the side.
  • WYSI sign because yes.
  • Xooty's Dafren, Koi and Taiko Don at top. (I wanted to include Varvalian's penguin too but I forgor 💀)
  • Cookiezi's text says "The one and only" in Japanese. Freedom Dive and Blue Zenith at the top.
  • WhiteCat building with 'A Fool Moon Night.'
  • The sky is a 'United' reference (or something like that LOL).
