Lady in red dress

Hello cosplayers!

The Holidays are over and it's time to start working again. I have another internship to go through, let's hope I do well. During my vacation I fucked up my sleeping schedule and just couldn't sleep at all until morning. Since I couldn't get any sleep I decided to work on something to keep my mind occupied, not today anxiety and paranoia! Since I was going to work on Ada Wong from RE4 I decided to actually get started and styled the wig. I had this Rukia Kuchiki (Bleach) wig lying around without any purpose, I decided to cut and style her. 

Here's the wig, I don't think this has been cut or styled at all. 

Once I set everything I started to search for reference pics from RE4's Ada and take consideration other games versions of her too. Her hairstyle doesn't change too much except for length differences. 


 Our lovely lady in red dress...

...and this was my setup. A makeshift wig stand. I used my beanie and filled it with scarfs and other pieces of fabric I could find. Then shoved it to my water bottle. It was a little unstable and funky, but it did the job. :) Now this wig was very thick when I started cutting. Basically that mullet had to go and I had to make it way thinner so it would look little more natural. It took me about two hours and when I tried it on my own head I had to do some adjustments on the bangs and sides. All the work was very worth it though cuz I'm happy with the result...



 Kind of reminds me of my own hair really, but in cosplay I do prefer wigs. Just gives that little extra to the costume. Tomorrow I'll start patterning the dress! Thank you for reading and stay tuned :)

    Uuh yeah, looks good! I prefer wigs too although with some realistic hairstyles that require lacefronts etc it feels like it's stupidly hard to find something that looks good enough sometimes lmao.

      Thank you! 8) And yeah I agree. I feel especially with realistic looking characters with very natural hair color to be a pain in the ass to find a wig. Big oof.

Crystal Mommy part 2

 Hi everyone! This time we are working on Venat's mask and other little accessories she has on her robe. Picture found from google, probably the most clear shots I could find where the mask is seen clearly Ancient mask sold in Square Enix-shop The overall silhouette of the mask I cut from from 3mm foam sheet. I did a couple paper drafts first to get the size right.   I also drew on the pattern for some reason? Good thing I did though.. I wasn't sure what I was doing. I tried covering it and do the details with black worbla, but that didn't turn out right... I'm Buttman! And here's the botched detail work... It's very goofy and the placement is so off! RAHHH Me with this (and every) cosplay So.. I heated it up just a little bit and ripped the worbla off from the mask. It wasn't glued on or anything and came off pretty easily... The worbla mask shell.. a husk even. The foam itself was fine, a few scratches aside. The design also was visible, so I decided to us...

Tracon 2024 Summary!

Image
 Hi everyone! Tracon was held 6.-8.9 once again in Tampere Talo. We skipped last year since there were so many wrongs in Tracon 2022. I heard a lot of good things about last year though and decided to attend this year. Main entrance   Our trip to Tampere started on Thursday after Don finished his shift. The train trip went well and hotel wasn't far either. I was quite tired, but didn't skip skincare. I tried one of those Disney Villain face masks and felt my villain arc begin. The mask left me feeling sticky and gross. After night cream though my face felt ok. Still would not recommend, especially if you have sensory issues. I got if for free though, so can't complain too much. I don't know if the serum did anything useful. Ehhhh First day of convention! We woke up pretty late, but the con wouldn't open before 15.00, so we could take the day slow. My cosplay for the day was Venat from Final Fantasy XIV. The weather was nice, but also quite warm, we were prepared for...

Nekocon 2024 Summary!

Image
 Hi everyone! Nekocon was held 13.-14.7 in Kuopio's Musiikkitalo once again. My journey there started on Friday. My traveling companion and boyfriend Don had work that day, so we planned to leave once he got back home. Departure ended up taking an hour or two longer though. Driving there went ok, though google maps gave us a weird route to a different place. I don't know if it was a typo on our part or maps just being weird, but after a while we found our airbnb. Firith and Shiro Samurai were super nice and fetched our tickets for us, so we didn't have to wait in line during the con day. Thank you guys lav juu! ❤ The main entrance The ticket The theme this year was creatures and weirdos, which was a perfect opportunity for me to bring Ix Elizabetta from Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun!. Last time I wore this costume was Desucon 2023. I've made a couple improvements since then, like a whole new skirt with better patterns, new tail and fixed sleeves.. I still need to ...
