I’m sorry it’s been so long since I last posted! My laptop broke and I was only recently able to get it fixed. In lieu of a progress post (the final Elsa post is coming, I swear) and since a large convention I love is coming up, I thought I’d put down some tips on …

That’s the Spot! Finding Locations for Cosplay Photoshoots
I’m sorry it’s been so long since last posting! My laptop broke, finally obtained a spare to use till I can get it fixed but I don’t have access to a lot of my files. Today I’m taking a break from crafting my cosplays to write a bit more about photography! I’ve outlined location vs …

The Making of: Elsa (Frozen) Part 3 – A Very Sparkly Corset
Welp, we’re back to this. Elsa’s corset/bodice is the piece I’ve probably seen the most variation in across the board. The design isn’t based on any existing fabric, so there’s no “proper” way to bring it into the real world, but after looking through how other people did this it seems like rectangular sequins are …

Lemons Into Lemonade: Fixing a Questionable Ebay Cosplay
I’ve been wanting to cosplay Arturia Pendragon’s blue dress for a few years now, and after achieving a personal life goal I decided to treat myself! I wanted the cosplay, and while making it would have been a fun project, I have several other time-consuming projects this year and it was more cost-effective to purchase …

The Making of: Elsa (Frozen) Part 2 – Shoes
I’m back with more Elsa progress! Despite these being the most experimental and straying the furthest from her design, all in all these went pretty smoothly and out of all the individual parts I’m probably the most satisfied with how these turned out. And yes, this is definitely foreshadowing for how the rest of the …

The Making of: Elsa (Frozen) PART 1 – Wig
Elsa is definitely one of my highest-effort projects of 2019! This cosplay is very involved, and will be separated into at least 4 different posts to cover individual parts. The wig featured here is actually my second run, I got a new one after deciding I wasn’t happy with my first. That was a lot …

Public Photoshoot Etiquette
Hello again! My post about convention vs location photoshoots got a pretty positive response, so this week we’ll go more in-depth about shooting in public, and how to do so. As I stated in my last post, I currently do most of my photoshoots outside of conventions. It allows for more time, more variety, and …
Convention vs. Location Photoshoots: Pros & “Cons”
Hello all! I’m home from a lovely weekend at Colossalcon in Ohio, I treated it as more of a vacation than a convention so now I’m all rested up and ready to start writing again. If they want to do a photoshoot, cosplayers find themselves with two options – either book a photographer at a …

Wig Tutorial: Beatrice (Umineko)
Beatrice has been one of my favourite characters for years now, and was one of my first “big” cosplays back in…2014, I believe? I’ve styled her wig at least 3 times before, but with my revamp of her gown I thought I’d do a walkthrough of how I make her wig! This style looks fancy …
The Making Of: Rin Tohsaka’s Archer Costume (Fate) – PART 1
Before we begin, I’d like to offer my sincere apologies for how grainy these pictures are. I mostly worked on this during nights, and my camera’s phone quality is terrible when faced with dim lighting. This project was an exercise in how fast I could slap something together for a shoot. If you’ve been following …
