Cosplay plans for 2020(?)

Image
henlo and merry chrism and happy new yar I have been silent here for a while, so I wanted to write some updates. So let's go! First Volta. I underestimated the amount of black fabrics I have for her, so I had to put her on hold until I find some from either second hand or fabric sales. Wish me luck! I was so sure I've collected enough black fabrics over time, but I was very wrong. Hopefully I get to work on her soon. She's my precious baby <3 Also all Arcana cosplayers rise up and let's have a photoshoot together! Linkle, I haven't done anything more to her since the last post. I really want her to be done for summer! It would be amazing to have photoshoots with her damn it! I have a few things that have to be done, and shoes are definitely one of them. I'm going through second hand stores to find either boots I can modify or a pair of shoes I can build the boot covers on. While her shoes in game are flat, I wouldn't mind them having a bit of h...

"Are you going to be some kind of a nun?" Volta cosplay

Image
Hey everyone! Just today when I back home from school I started working on Volta from The Arcana Game ! I showed a picture of her to my mother and she asked if I was going to dress up as a nun, I thought it was kind of funny, but totally understand why. :'D I love that smol bean and yeah I know that she with the rest of the courtiers are villains, but Volta is so adorable in a creepy way. I was hoping to get this cosplay done for Halloween. I would love to photoshoot her! :3 But we'll see. Best bean <3 So I started from the headgear, that I thought was like a nun's cornette. Probably not the most traditional thing, but close enough? Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, that's where I started. No progress pics, but at least the end result, sorry about that! Myssykkä A scarf thingy you just tie to the back. Quite simple, there will be a second part that comes under this. I also couldn't resist a makeup test so I grabbed one of my orang...

Updates and future plans

Image
Hey guys! I haven't written here for a while again, so I'm just going to give an update about what has been going on and such. I am going to ramble a lot, just letting you know :'D So first I'll start from Retsuko. I'm sad to say I don't have many WIP pictures. Just a couple of the tail. But the vest and the skirt.. nothing. Though I do feel like it's better that way cuz I'm not really that pleased. I wish I had chosen a different kind of fabric, but that's what you do when you are on a budget, right? You just work with what you have.  The tail: After measuring and making patterns, I transfered them to the fur fabric. I hand sewed the pieces and all together. Added an elastic band on the other side so I can put a belt through it. I'm probably going to take some stuffing out and add a wire so I can bend it the way I want it to go. Otherwise, I'm happy how it turned out. :) I had Aggretsuko photoshoot with my bf...

Getting started on Retsuko! Making furry ears

Image
Greetings! Not much progress on Linkle sadly, been sick for a while so I'm kinda lacking energy to do much. Only thing I got done regarding cosplay is Retsuko's ears. I'm not making a full on fursuit, just ears and tail, heh. I've done one pair of ears in the past, but I feel like they're not up to my standards anymore. I had to do a bit of research from other cosplayers and especially furries! I mainly used this tutorial I found on YouTube. That said, here's my take on the ears!  I started by sketching different kinds of patterns for ears until I found one that worked for me -> I cut the pattern out and tested on my head, perfecting the fit and possibly modify to my liking. When satisfied with the pattern, I copied and cut it on EVA foam, then copied the pattern once more on a fabric that comes to the inside of the ear. You can of course paint the foam too, but I lack paints so I prefer using fabric, lol.  After that I glued an iron w...

Current dream cosplays

Image
Oh damn, Sallukka posting shit that ain't cosplay progress.. It's wayyy past 3 am here, I'm a little tipsy and I got the idea to write about this lol. So now that you know the setup I have here, let's go! Cydaea/Mistress of Pain/Maiden of Lust - Diablo III Cydaea has been a dream cosplay of mine for almost 10 years now. Cosplaying as a spider lady that won't bow to anyone is appealing to me I guess. Also she is my favorite boss to fight against in the game. Also making a spider-butt would be interesting and challenging. The design over-all is quite intimidating, but I hope I will be able to make this happen some day. If you happen to be into legs you don't want to miss this! Jessamine Kaldwin/Empress - Dishonored I've been a fan or Dishonored-games for years, and the first game has a special place in my heart. I love this games art for it looks like an oil painting that moves, the amazing soundtrack that I like to play while working on a...

Cucco farmer part 3!

Image
Cucco! Holy shit I made some progress! The hell that I went through making the vest, finished wig and some other stuff. Let's begin from the vest, once I figured out a few things, it wasn't all that bad after all. Main problem being it didn't sit quite right, so I had to adjust a few parts, now I'm quite satisfied with the result, yay! The reference for the vest. I'm still lacking the buttons and the lace, so only small things really x) I started by roughly drawing the patterns and added my measurements. After making the actual patterns, I tested them by making a mock up. You know, just be sure it'll work. The result seemed fine to me so I continued with them. At that point I didn't realize the "cape" part didn't fit quite right to the actual vest, but it wasn't too difficult to fix after all, haha. Only thing I have to show about the mock up, whoopsie. Vest WIP Yeeyee, got a cape One happy boi The...

Aggressive Red Panda

Hey guys! I've been working on Linkle yes, I'm currently working on the cape/vest and almost got it done and then found some fuckery and had to redo it again...and again.... Needless to say making this isn't as pleasant as the other parts so far... either I'm dumb or the damn cape is cursed. School also just started so I had to focus on other things, moving back to my dorm and all that jazz, so not much progress on Linkle . Once all this is sorted out, it should be easier.  Never mind me! Just trying to find some fuck to give.   But I wanted to touch on some other cosplay I would like to make while working on Linkle . I was looking through my cosplay closet, looking for some ideas I could work on. Obviously something a bit easier than Linkle . Then it came to me. I've always wanted to cosplay a character with animal ears and tail and seeing some materials I thought about this hard working fluffy lady... Retsuko from Aggretsuko ! Now brin...
