Makima minishoot

Image
 Hi everyone! So I got into Chainsaw Man. So into it I decided to cosplay from it. I happened to have the costume parts in my closet, so all I had to do was cut the wig for it. I have a bunch of red wigs and no use for them. This particular one I originally got for Katarina from League of Legends, but that never happened and will never happen. Good thing I found this other read-head called Makima. :) Here she is! It has been a little quiet here, so I decided to take photos. My bf was too busy with Elden Ring to take photos with me, so I had to do it all myself, lol. At least I got some pics. Two of them being selfies though~. Cosplay, photography and editing is all by yours truly. The costume was comfy of course, though I might make or buy another shirt, something a little more fitting. The one I was wearing is a little too "baggy" for my liking. Regardless, I felt confident wearing Makima! Can't wait to bring her to cons. This is it for now, so smell ya later! :)

Valentine's Day photoshoot

Image
Hey everyone! As I am writing this it's Valentine's Day! It's no that big where I live, but I still wanted to do something fun. I first considered a makeup test, but since the top part of Guildmarm is done, I decided to photoshoot her a little. Basically just some portrait photos, but still. Hope you like these! Cosplayer: Yours truly Photographer: Kim Ratavaara Tell Brachy he has a nice tail ❤ Obligatory selfie BONUS As I was dressing up my cat needed attention ❤ Happy Valentine's day everyone!

Cosplans 2022!

Image
 Hello lovelies! I found it quite difficult to choose cosplays for this year. I found love in bunch of new games and series, but there are also a bunch of older plans I have already started with. Here's what I came up with. Ferra/Torr - Mortal Kombat XL (Alternate) This is a pair cosplay with my bf. He's a huge fan of Mortal Kombat and played it a lot when we were young. I was much more into Tekken, but I've gotten into MK little by little and these two are by far the most interesting characters to me. I'm excited to work on these two, but to be realistic I might not finish these this year yet. We'll see. My bf promised me help with the props at least and any other work that doesn't involve sewing machine really. This helps a lot already! ^^ Guildmarm/Sophia - Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Yes I intend to finish her and debut her in next con, whatever will it be. I need to make her shorts, belt and that adorable froggy bag (plus some smaller details)! I might also t...

Kummacon 2021!

Image
 Hi everyone~ After two years we finally got an actual convention not too far from where I live! I was happy to see Kummacon coming back in Oulu, I've missed it so much and it was a great way to start con-going again since it's a small event.  Since I finished Ada's dress (and made the necklace too) I decided to take her there, though I didn't take any proper photos of her. Small dress plus winter doesn't really go together, so I'll wait until Spring or Summer to photoshoot her. Also I'm still missing the weapon and weapon harness AND I need a better wig! I felt awful wearing the wig I tried to style, the fibers are destroyed and the cut didn't really save it. Only thing it's good for is donating wefts, so not completely useless. A morning selfie I took on Saturday before hitting the con This time Kummacon was held 27.-28.11 at Hiukkavaaratalo. When me and my boyfriend were done with our morning routines, we headed to the con. Shiro Samurai and Firi...

Would I still make my old cosplay plans?

Image
 Hello! I recently came across Justy B's video on this subject, so I wanted to do something like that, but in a blog form. x) So I did some digging and found an actual list of characters I wanted to cosplay from 2012! I felt so nostalgic, it contained so many characters from anime's that were the thing back then... So I want to approach this by listing some, definitely not all (this post would be never ending...) plans and talk about them a little and deciding if I'm still planning on cosplaying them or not. I hope you enjoy this~  Sode no Shirayuki, Hisana Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, Yachiru Kusajishi all from Bleach I'm pretty sure I had WAY more Bleach cosplans, but this is still a lot (adding also Rangiku, Unohana and Momo that I did make)! As much as I like this show and characters, I'm saying no to all of these. I'm planning to remake Unohana one day and that's enough for me.  Kagura from InuYasha Yes, yes, YES! I absolutely LOVED this show when I got in...

Lady in red dress remake

Image
 Hello! So if you don't know, I've been planning on cosplaying Ada Wong from Resident Evil for a while now. It has been a little difficult choosing which version though, until Resident Evil 2 Remake came out. It took some for me to accept the new design, I don't take these things too lightly, but I ended up loving her new dress after playing! So I want to go with that. :3 I might do the RE4 -version too at some point, but that's for another time. I was adamant to get this cosplay done since *gasp* Resident Evil 25 years anniversary this year! Wooop! So this is my way to celebrate that a little. ^^ The red dress version is the one I'm making. it would be fun to either make or buy the jacket also! :3 I started from her hair, so it was another wig-cutting time. I've cut a wig for her before, but this new hairstyle is different, so it's not going to work for me. The wig I used was this super old black wig that I washed and tried to redeem. I like the cut from th...

Guildmarm/Sophia WIP

Image
 Hi everyone! ^^ Long time no see! I've been super busy with work and moving in, but I'm trying to balance my life now so that I have more time to actually be creative and work on costumes a little more. I try to make progress everyday, doesn't matter how small. Sometimes it's literally just one layer of paint or a little bit of hand stitching, but it's better than nothing, right?  Today I wanted to show off some progress I've made on Guildmarm or Sophia from Monster Hunter 4. It's honestly about time I make a MonHun-cosplay! Also about time to do a cosplay makeup test! Haven't practiced cosplay makeup in such a long time and it shows... ^^'' Makeup is all about practice after all, heh. Sadly I don't have all the progress pics I needed, but here's at least some of them. Enjoy! The base jacket... Added details! (missing lining) The jacket was definitely the most difficult part so far! Not that I've done that much, but regardless! The l...
