Cosplay Chamber

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I posted last time and I honestly feel a little sad about it, but no can do really... In this post I just want to share some stuff that I've been doing, plus some plans for the future. It's a little different from the usual stuff I do here, so buckle up! So obviously not much cosplay progress here. I'll give an update on Paya later so at least there's that to look for. I've been working for a couple of months as a cook, but now the restaurant has closed for a while. It'll be a few months until it opens again so I try to keep myself busy by working in a super market when needed and I'm moving in with my bf soon. The apartment we're trying to get is being renovated currently, so we'll hear about that when it's done. Honestly I'm looking forward to it, my room is quite small and I have a lot of stuff and nowhere to store them. This of course also means that costume making is quite limited. While I wait I st...

Yes! Chizuhuuru! Rise again from your slumber! "no I sleep UwU" One day I decided to pick up my brother's PSP and play Hakuoki: Demon of The Fleeting Blossom, and dang did I get inspired by this once again. (plus got Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms on Steam while it was on sale, fuck yeah!) My bf got interested in it and wanted to check out the anime, so far he has enjoyed it and is considering cosplaying from Hakuouki with me. :D This is giving me such a boost, so I dug my old Chizuru cosplay, took a closer look at it and got to work. I only had the hakama and pink kimono for her (+ wig), everything else donated materials for other projects.  Hello Chizuru my old friend... Oof. The was so much that needed to be done, but I started by taking the kimono apart, iron the pieces and take a look at the measurements, cut and zigzag and finally sew together.  The white under kimono I took from my old Kosuzu cosplay. The kimonos collar had painted design on it, but I have extra fabric for ...

Hello! Back to Paya! This time I started working on the jacket. It's pretty much kimono-like, but the red collar goes criss-cross applesauce in the middle. I took a look at other cosplayers to see how they have done it just give me an idea how I should approach it. Reference I hope you see what I mean about the collar.. The fabric itself provided from dad's old winter suit that he gave me for material donor since he didn't have any use for it at all. I'm very thankful for that! The winter suit is basically just large coat and pants, it was somewhat easy to pattern that. I just needed to chip off a few cm's from here and there and that was it actually. :D  The coat, in pieces, yeeted on the floor... testing.. fitting Once I was okay with the fitting I made the details, the red stripes on the sleeves, the "cape" on the back and the collar. The sleeve details I just winged basically. The first version I made was too short (only a little over my shoulder) and ...

Hello! Another lens review time! This time we're taking a look at ICK Cherie Brown~ :3 I already dropped some "distance" pics of them when I did my Paya makeup test , but that's alright. Let's put our focus on lenses only, shall we?  Lenses in the case I was quite excited to try these lenses on really! The color was actually quite close to what my own eyes are, except a little more green. I have a couple characters I'd love to cosplay that have these "hazel" eyes, so I think these lenses would be just perfection! :D One lens in Both lenses in, facing window Flash Yellow bathroom light Outside, sun in clouds Back against Sun In the shadow Just as I thought, the lenses blend very well with my own eye color, the green stands out a little, but definitely not enough to turn your eye color green though lol. I really like these ones! Also I would like to add that even though these lenses were expired (more info below), they were actually very comfortable! I...

Hiii~! Realizing that before Linkle happened, the "newest" cosplay I've made was Fiona Belli from Haunting Ground! It was long ago since I made it and most of my older cosplays are now fabric/material donors. There are definitely still some I want to remake and cosplay in the future as well (and get better/up to date pics)! Here are the ones that came to mind.. Sheena Fujibayashi - Tales of Symphonia Now my wife Sheena here is still one of my favorite female video game characters of all time. She really left a mark on me and I want to cosplay her again, though this time it'll be improved! I want the whole cosplay look more crisp and accurate, the colors of choice were way off and the blue wig I used isn't doing it for me anymore. And also I'm going to have Corrine on my side! I've always wanted to learn how to make plushies. ^^ Also proper boot covers that actually hold together! Though I must add that there are other versions in the game I'm intereste...
