Cosplay Chamber

 Boo! It's almost Halloween and Matsucon is held just before that. The con is held in 28.-29.10, Oulu, so not too far from home either. It has been a few years since I attended Matsucon last time, so I'm pretty excited to go. :) Things have been quite shitty with personal life, so I hope this weekend could bring some joy to these dark times. Anyway, here are my cosplans 🠊 Saturday Fire Keeper - Dark Souls 3 For the halloween theme I wanted to go with something dark/spoopy and I've had Fire Keeper's cosplay pieces and wig lying around for many years now, so it was time to finish that costume and take her outside. I will also take part in the cosplay parade with this cosplay, so I'm quite excited and nervous about that. The parade is basically like your regular cosplay competition, except there's more winners. Usually there's the best 3 competitors, but in cosplay parade there's also other categories like best wig, best accessory/prop etc. Last time I too...

 Hi everyone! This is probably one of my biggest builds yet. I've wanted to tackle something like this for a while! I'm super nervous, but also excited about the cosplay costume and prop! AAAH! The character is Y'shtola Rhul from Final Fantasy XIV (Shadowbringers). I'll try to get this done for winter cons. :3  Here she is! ❤ This is going to be a huge build, so these progress posts will be coming in parts. Not sure how many, but probably too many. We start from wig styling, since that's the easiest. We'll also drop a makeup test here while we're at it. The base wig I used was this super long, super platinum blonde wig with bangs I bought it some time ago for Hermione from Azur Lane. It looked silver/white on screen, but is actually blonde and that bothered me, so I scrapped Hermione and was left wondering what to do. I decided to keep the wig and now I'm glad I did! I had to take a lot of length off before getting anywhere though. This the length I cut ...

 Hi everynyan! :3 I attended Nekocon this year for the first time ever! :D It was held in a familiar place though, this being Musiikkikeskus (+Lumit) in Kuopio (15.-16.7.2023). Last time I set my foot there was Animecon way back when. This years theme in Nekocon was nostalgia, which was very fitting in so many ways. Walking around the con area was a trip down to memory lane. My journey to Kuopio started on Friday, traveling with my bf Dongrieg  once again. We woke up pretty early and started our 5-ish hour drive. She's safe and sound :3 On arrival we had a few hours to kill before we could get con tickets and set ourselves in mattress accommodation the convention provided for a small price. It was very nice and cool of them to arrange it this way. Traveling, getting tickets, settling sleeping arrangements and getting into cosplay all at the first day of con is very overwhelming experience, so being able to do some things a day earlier makes things easier. For those few hours w...
