wait it makes so much sense that sakusa would wear knee-high socks, arm sleeves and compression gear underneath his uniform (you can see it right at the edge of his shorts and where his shirt rides up) since he always wants to play at his best possible condition
anyway it’s p cool how frdt can raise your hopes about hinata finally having a team and competing at an actual tournament 3 years after he watched the little giant on tv, only to crush it all by rapidly revealing how little a chance they stand of winning in the next 3 pages
@Leoppii at this rate the fashion conundrums i'm more concerned about are 1) how often kenma wears his nekoma sweatpants bc they literally have a hole at the knee and 2) whether or not kuroo got his necktie at a joke shop bc it's hideous but i also kinda want one
"I decided to go with the characters all grown up for the cover illustration. I actually really love Tsukishima’s green uniform."
(frdt-sensei basically said sendai frogs uniform superior and i am accepting this as fact)
"Hinata Shoyo and Ken Watanabe, on their way to take on the 'Buy Me a Beer' Brothers."
(ken watanabe lmao)
"While drawing this I was thinking, 'I bet it’s hard for seagulls to stand on humans’ shoulders with their feet like that!' This drawing captures a single moment, but I’m pretty sure the seagull was flapping its wings all over the place."
"I tried to convey how white seagulls are, and also how strong their gazes are with this cover."
(im just thinking about how maybe frdt might have used a photo of a real seagull staring straight into the camera as a reference for this volume cover lol)
"This was for a WSJ cover. I think… I remember... kinda straying off course with the colours..."
(it looks much less saturated and a lot calmer in the artbook, i promise! also idk why but this comment is so funny to me...)
"The orange here is intense!! I struggled with the composition for quite a while, since I really wanted to convey how much power there was in this receive."
(it's THE receive. there is nothing more that needs to be said)
