Guildmarm/Sophia WIP 3 - Finale

Image
 Hello everyone! I finally did it! I finished Guildmarm! Took me a long time, but here she finally is! I'm going to talk about the rest I had to make and show the finished result, so let's go! So last time I finished the undershirt, pants and whatnot, lol. This time it's the huge red belt and the cuuute little froggy-bag aaa! cutieeee~❤ With the belt I decided to go with the oldest trick, foam covered in fabric! I cut out 3mm strips of foam and glued them together. This would be the base of the belt. Then I took shiny-ish red fabric I had and covered the foam with it. I first top stitched and then added some glue to the wrong side for extra secure. The inside looks ugly, but it's not going to be visible, so no worries. Here is she I added some eyelets The belt buckle and whatever that part is on the end of the belt are both made out of foam. Some 3mm craft foam, cut and glued with contact glue, then covered in gesso (2-3 layers). Lastly painted and varnished. :3 There i...

The Grand Mistress of Grey Hound! part 1

Image
 Hi everyone! First cosplay-making-of-post for current year, yay! Next con I'm going to attend is most likely Kummacon in May, but since Desucon would be held in very next month, I better start working on cosplays now while I still can! First project I'm tackling is Vex'halia from The Legend of Vox Machina! :3 I'm a huge fan of Critical Role and just love the show so much! Let's get started! The half-elf ranger in question  I figured I'd start from the tunic. I used my basic pattern that I modified a little bit by adding like 5 cm to the neckline and of course the long pieces to the front and back.  Side note, I actually wanted to start from the shoes so I could get that done and over with, but I don't have enough fabrics right now, so I guess I'll suffer later lol. I found some leftover fabrics from my storage for the tunic. Some satin-cotton-blend thing, it's as little shiny, but not too much. I also had a little bit of that navy blue for the colla...

Cosplans for 2023

Image
 Hi everyone! The year is almost at end and new cosplans are flowing. From my last years cosplans , basically none happened (Still working on them..ouch). Although I still managed to get 6 costumes done this year! I don't have that many proper pics taken sadly (and WIP posts are still in my drafts), but I could try to get some taken of Saber and Makima, since they're the easiest to throw on. I just need a black trench coat for Makima... I think I already posted on my insta what my next years plans are and they are still pretty accurate, except for one changing. Here they now are: Vex'halia - The Legend of Vox Machina So I've been a fan of Critical Role for some time and I would love to finally cosplay from it. I have Imogen from the latest campaign in the works, but now that my bf's interest to cosplay Percy from Vox Machina peaked, it would be a missed opportunity for a couples cosplay if I didn't join him as Vex. I don't mind this at all, I love Vex! Origi...

Tracon 2022 Summary

Image
 Hi everyone! I originally didn't plan to write any con summaries. Mainly because I'm too busy to do so, but now after Holidays I don't have much planned soooo.. here we are! So Tracon 2022 was held 2.-4.9 once again in Tampere. This year they announced some changes in the rules (restricting cosplays with realistic military outfits and props over 30 cm). I wasn't planning any military cosplays anyway, but I do admit that the new rules were very confusing and there definitely were questions left unanswered. The first day of the con we started traveling early in the morning. Arrived somewhere around noon to Tampere and changed to cosplays. I cosplayed School Traumerei version of Atago from Azur Lane. The costume was very comfy and easy to move around. Will bring her again if there's other AL-cosplayers with me. :3 Can you tell we're tired? Atago ready to go! The line for the con wristbands was long, but the it also moved in a good pace, so we didn't have to wa...
