On the Otacool 2 Cover!

I had a tweet from my friend Nessa that I should check out this link and saw I’m on the revised cover of Otacool 2! Needless to say I’m really happy about it! It’s actually hard to sum up my excitement about it in a blog post right now.



Out of all the years I’ve been having fun with this hobby, nothing quite like this has ever happened, so I’m sort of in shock over the decision to include me on the front of the book. I’m elated, but still shocked. Really I’m just so thankful, I can’t even begin to go into it…

If one thing does make me sad about it, however, it’s that I took Danny Choo’s slot. He mentioned getting a lot of heat for being on the cover of the book in his article here. Considering the fact that without his site’s promotion of the publication many of us wouldn’t have even known to enter, it’s a little bit of a buzzkill.

Yuki Nagato Wig & Work in Progress Section Added

I’ve added a section to the site for Work in Progress pictures!

Not much in there yet, but I’ll post to it over time.

I’m introducing the section with my newest WIP shot on my Yuki wig. Go look and see it go from long and curly to short and scruffy :D

I’ve also added a content slide show to the fontpage. there was a short down time for this. Sorry to anyone who got the maintenance splash page. I always hate getting those…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentines! I’ve uploaded a new costume for the holiday~

Click ME to SEE

Maid Saber from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia! Thanks to poll results I was compelled to make it. TY to those who took the poll. It is great to have feedback. I’ll be working on SaberLily next.

The chocolate was bought so I could wish figure.fm a good v-day. I had a lot of support for my Otacool entry there, so I have a lot of love for that site right now _

Emma Sheen Cosplay & Site Updates!

A gallery for my Emma Sheen cosplay has been added!

<-- Look!

I migrated a tutorial over from my old blog, so ‘Basic Pattern Modification pt 1’ is now up an viewable here. It’s very basic, and the follow up tutorial should be up sometime soon. It will cover sizing patterns up or down to better fit your needs.

My Yuki Nagato wig came! The color is exactly what I wanted. I’ve started cutting it so I should have the before and after to show in the next could of days when I finally add a work in progress section to the site.

I’m adding a section in a few days that will cover product recommendations relating to costume construction. I’m still working out where it will go on the site and what to put up, but so far I have a good working list of items I personally use and want to review and recommend to others.

Maid Saber is about 50% done. My deadline is Friday- that’s when the shoot is scheduled so you should be seeing it up here very soon (I hope!)

AoD

This weekend is Animation on Display, a San Fransisco Bay area convention held at the beautiful Kabuki Hotel.

http://www.aodsf.org/

I’m packing up for it, and can’t wait to drive out tomorrow for it. I’m not bringing many costumes, but I am finally going to have some pictures of my Emma Sheen! It’s been over a year since I started it, so it’s about time!

If you are going, email me! I’ll have my phone on me so I can check emails. I think it’s a good convention to just hang out at or do a photoshoot :D

New stuff will be added as soon as this weekend is over~

Saber ‘Pie’ Contest Photos and New Content

I’ve added a new page to my cosplay section. It’s the XYZ Junk folder. It’s basically for everything I don’t have a place for elsewhere~

Currently, only my Pie contest entry is in there… I have more pics to upload there later, but it’s a start:


New stuff  has been added to press & I’m thinking of adding a WIP section soon. Just a place to house the images of stuff in progress since I’ve had enough questions asked that could be answered by visuals~

I also need to get on the ball and transfer over my tutorials from my old blog already. Sheesh, I’m lazy! :P


I’ve got a new wig (and contacts) coming  in the mail. I can’t wait to cut and style it!  I had several yards of the right blue fabric for a Yuki Nagato costume in my scrap fabrics so I’m just gonna make it when I get a few free days. I have no idea what con to wear it to, though :/

AoD is this weekend, so I should have a couple new costumes up right after it. Woo, Zeta Gundam! Finally going to wear this Emma costume that has been sitting around for an eternity.

Maid Shoot with CosplayShots.Com

I don’t know why I haven’t linked to this before now because I really like some of the photos MaxArcher of cosplayshots.com  took of this outfit I bought while in Akihabara last year. He wanted to do a shoot, but I didn’t have anything new to show. Because of that, it’s essentially just a wig, contacts, and a pre-made costume, hence I won’t upload any of it here. I still want to share it though! I love that costume even though I didn’t make it myself.

I have a few and they are fun to wear around conventions when I don’t want to deal with a big costume. Who doesn’t love maids, right?

Check it out on Cosplayshots.com here!

I’m Pretty Sure My Heart Just Exploded ;-;

http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/25383/Otacool+Worldwide+Cosplayers.html

So I’m past the stage of feeling like I’m going to pass out, and have moved on to denial of it ever having happened. I’m trying to remember what my psychology professor said the next stage of coping is…

You know when something is so awesome, it’s traumatic? Yeah…it’s that awesome. XD

If anyone ever questioned what a big nerd I am, this should bring you back to reality. I’m having a mini-heart attack over being featured in that post about cosplay. I know, some of you reading are thinking I should probably get out more, but this is seriously a big, big deal for me.


I’m going to go back to answering some of the emails I just received and pining over pictures the nendoroid saber lion as usual… Yeah, I spend my friday nights in style!~

Someday, you will me mine, cute little lion…

Otacool entry and Ice Shaving Penguins!

So I decided to enter the Otacool2 cosplay book contest. Here’s to hoping I get a little page space!

I think it would be nice if you took a look at my entry…no pressure, or course! Too bad SaberLily is a bit more pushy than me about it.


Also, I’m enamored with my new figure. Particularly the ice shaver. If only there existed a full scale real version of that thing! T__T I want one so bad! I’d make ice cones constantly, even if it was freezing outside…

My only complaint is my unlucky choice of one with some overspray or a finger print on her ribbon :/ Other than that, it’s a nice figure. It’s huge too.



Site Related: I’m slowly fixing the links on the side and providing more links to places I have accounts.
I’ll have my Nagi costume up by the end of this week and my Kagome and Emma Sheen at the end of the month.


Costume Related: Got the fabric for my Maid Saber! Ordering the petticoat ASAP. Hopefully I will have something up by Valentine’s Day _ That’s my intended goal to have it done and get a photoshoot for it so I can have a holiday post.
Now if only I can track down a figure of that Saber. I really want the one with the mop! >:3 Too bad it’s rare and expensive! I think I will just settle for the good smile one with the chair though. It’s cute too, just not as sexy~
