How far I've come!

Image
Today my Time Hop told me today that I started my first facebook page 3 years ago, a group page with my bestie Smell Bear  (She does awesome commissions and make amazing shoes check her out). Now that I have recently started my own page I thought I'd write a post on how far I have come in the last 3 years. The first cosplay I decided to make was Anya Stroud from Gears Of War. People were making jokes that I look a little like her. I was awful, made of cardboard and badly painted. Look at it.... My God.... Next was the Batman animated series, Harley Quinn.  This was my first attempt at sewing so I hindsight it wasn't too bad. However, I do need to remake this. The next this I decided to make was Daedric armour. This was a bad idea I should've tried something a bit easier. Next, I tried some sewing this time I used a pattern. I did Rogue from X-Men. It started fairly simple but I did update it recently. I updated too. I...

S.N.O.T Episode 8 - Winter Lights Cosplay

Hi Guys, I have been asked to review the S.N.O.T Cosplay episodes. So I listened to the first cosplay podcast which featured Winter Lights Cosplay . Well, firstly I love listening to people talk about Cosplay as it is such a passion of mine but hearing someone talking in the same passionate way that I do gives me a warm feeling. It starts off asking simple questions on how Winter started how she got in to cosplay which was nice, being able to hear some one seeing people dressed up and asking whats this and people saying it's cosplay, I really related to this as this is how I got into cosplaying too. Then the guys ask about what materials she uses and what was the hardest cosplay she ever made, which was a Zack Fair from Final Fanasty 7. She talked about the steps she has come from a cardboard buster sword to a full foam sword. It's nice to hear peoples progression when it comes to a cosplay. Then they move on to the saucy stuff, the boudoir now this is a sore spot for...

My top 10 video games!!

Bendy, I hear you cry you sure do love Cosplay but what else do you love...? Well, my fellows, I love video games and here are my top 10 video game franchise's  American McGees Alice Madness Returns - This is a game based on a twisted version of Alice in Wonderland. It incorporates two things that I find really interesting. Victorian London and the historical ways that mental health was treated. The game is stunning the contrast of the wonderland in the original story to the wonderland in the game which is dark and menacing. I don’t want to give too much away if you haven’t played it go and play it now. Assassin's Creed - AC 3 was the first game I ever 100% on the XBox. I’ve got the all the achievements and I’m pretty proud of this. I like all the historical references albeit not alway historically accurate. I’m not great at stealth but with this game, you can decide if you want to go full on stealth or like I accidentally get caught and start bashing the attack butt...

Steam Punk Evie Frye

Hi Guys I'm back (in the voice of the creepy kid from Poltergeist) Lets see how long this will last... Right this post is on my Evie Frye which I finished a few days before MCM London. I cut it bit fine as I always do but she turned out great. This will be a cosplay I will wear again and again. So here is the reference art I started with... Now I know some of the colouring is wrong and parts I couldn't do due to video game logic but overall I am super happy with how it turned out. I started by making a pattern for the top, I had never done this be for so I looked through Youtube and found this really helpful video . I adapted it obviously as I wasn't making that type of corset (in the end I didn't make a corset at all more on that later). So I ducked taped my mannequin and drew a pattern on. One side I used for Evie the other side I used for Bombshell Flash, there will be a post about her soon enough. I cut the pieces out and transferred t...
