just-a-muse asked: I am so inspired by you cosplays. From start to finish, they are amazing. I'm finally trying my hand at creating a cosplay skater dress of Falcon. Still not sure if I'm doing the MCU or comic version, but I want to get started on paper first. How do you start taking a concrete idea and creating your own interpretation?
Hi there! Thank you so much for your message! When I do different interpretations of characters (like Wonder Woman) I usually base it on styles I like to wear. I like wearing ballgowns, so I thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool if I did that?” I love Wonder Woman’s normal outfit, but I knew I wouldn’t feel comfortable in it, and a huge part of having great cosplay (and normal wear) is being in things you’re comfortable in. So I sketched the design to the ballgown, and them my partner made it :) (also known as “the wifey” aka “that woman I met 13 years ago who got me into cosplay in the first place”)
And sometimes I decide to just have some extra fun with the cosplays, like this crazy rainbow make up I did for a “Rainbow Mario”:
And sometimes I decide to be a bit brave and step out of my comfort zone if it’s a design I really like, like pin up stuff. So I decided to do a variation to Dr. Facilier from Princess and the Frog. I was hesitant at first but when I put everything on and took a pic I was like, “Dayum.”
Accessories really add to things, too, like the top hat and the cane (and I also had a Tiana frog, too ^__^)
Your idea sounds amazing! I would say the comic version may be a bit more fun and colorful for a skater dress, but you can also have some fun with those kick ass wings from the movie. I would say sketch both. Look at reference pictures for skater dresses and just let the inspiration come to you, because it will. When I sketched the ball gown I pretty much looked at pictures and took elements from different ballgowns that I liked, then went with it.
And don’t be afraid to get creative. With the Mario dress, my partner added a little pocket to the dress at the last minute, and she also used a kid’s bedsheet to do the ruffle because we couldn’t find Mario fabric.
but don’t assume she is the devil because she made this mistake
and don’t try to invalidate taylor’s feminism because she stupidly thought a tweet was about her when it wasn’t
recognize anaconda’s impact
don’t slut shame nicki
don’t hate on taylor
don’t hate on nicki
don’t hate on anyone
don’t make it a competition between fans
discuss the real issue because I bet nicki would prefer that we discussed what she was trying to point out than trying to destroy taylor which is only taking the focus out of what nicki was trying to talk about
Look at these dorks! Me and krisrix finally meet up! She handed me my doujin proof [insert incoherent flailing and dying godzilla noises here]!!! I also saw took a peek at her doujin but I have to refrain until I get my copy. We had coffee, Kannao and everything in between.
Unfortunately, it was a short meetup but hella awesome! Next time she’s playing P4D no questions asked. And we’ll talk about the cinnamon rolls until forever.
Our doujins are going to be sold in Otakuthon Anime Convention this August 7-9.
*drops mic* yeah that kinda sounds pro hell yeah. ( >A< ) \m/
THIS TOTALLY HAPPENED YESTERDAYYYYYY <3
Two kannao artists meeting up, both with doujinshi that they’re selling. I already have Kris’ doujinshis and they’re amazing, I need to add hanuwabbit’s to the collection next :)
