Kanji and Naoto. From the epilogue. Dressed as the Mario Brothers.
Lines and colour tomorrow. Or Sunday. Probably Sunday, because I’m busy tomorrow.
Please be excited.
Oh goodness this is so cute!
All right, I have a cosplay page now :) I thought about it and decided it would be a good idea, since I’m cosplaying more often now and I want to give my partner some exposure (she makes aaaaaall of my costumes, so if you’re looking for a plus sized friendly costume maker, she’s a good person to go to).
Anyhow, it’s definitely a race, gender, sexuality, size friendly page. And uh, yeah, you can see my costumes and stuff ^^;;;

Our new Frog Mario bathroom curtain!
When we moved into our house, I agreed with my wifey that we could turn this bathroom into an underwater Mario level. We’re still working on the bathroom, but here’s my contribution. This curtain is made out of tiny 1 inch squares matching the pixel design. Took me months to make, but it’s now so incredibly worth it!
*gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasp* LOOK AT THIS OMG! To go with the Geeky theme of our home, there is now a PIXEL FROG SUIT MARIO CURTAIN IN OUR BATHROOM! Snowtigra is the best wifey EVER!
*incoherent noises* Snow Tigra is the best wifey ever you don’t even know I just-… gyah, gyah! These are early Valentine’s Day gifts she got me. An adorable Baby Bowser plushie (which I’ve never seen before so eeeeee!) and VELVET ROOM KEY KEYCHAIN OMG! Welcome to my not velvet at all purse, little key, enjoy your time with Tanooki Suit Mario and L from Death Note ^^
Captain America appreciation post! (including one parody coaster of if Mario were Captain America, har har ^^) Most of these items (the clock and shield most definitely) are available for purchase, while the coasters can be requested to be made. I didn’t realize that I made so many Captain America things ^^;;;
New shop idea! Video game themed dresses, skirts, and other things of that nature. I really like how the skirt turned out, and skirts/dresses like this is something we want to do. Open skirts that reveal some sort of game level, and things of that nature :)
We hope to premiere some of this at Anime Milwaukee next year!
The first dress is Tetris inspired, the second shirt and skirt is Mario inspired. For the Tetris dress, the ruffles are covered in Tetris blocks along with a matching belt. For the shirt and skirt, the shirt has piranha plant trim with a matching belt on the skirt. The skirt itself is green like a pipe, and it opens up to show the level that the pipe tends to take you to :)

One of the best things about cosplay is becoming that character, not just to yourself, but to the people around you. Yes, sometimes, people say nasty things if you are a certain race or body type, but other times, magic happens. I know it sounds cheesy calling it “magic” but there’s no other way to describe it.
Case in point: this picture.
While walking around a convention one day in my Peach cosplay (completely with frying pan, because I’m a strong, independent princess who don’t need no plumber savin’ me) I walked pass this kid dressed like a Power Ranger. The kid stopped, stared at me, and I smiled and waved to him. He immediately ran up to me and was like, “Are you Princess Peach?!” I smiled more and said, “Yes, I am.” He was so incredibly happy, like, he actually believed that I was Princess Peach, like I had walked out of the video game to walk around the hallway at an anime convention.
It’s here that I realize that despite the nasty things that are said about cosplayers sometimes, for whatever reason, the true beauty of doing this is for moments like that, when someone really, truly believes that this character is real. They don’t look at race, size, gender, or things like that. They don’t care. To them, you really are that character, and you just made their day a thousand times better.
So I knelt down, wrapped my arm around him, and he put on his Power Rangers mask so we could take a picture with him. Afterwards, he proceeded to demonstrate some awesome Power Ranger moves for me, to which I just smiled and clapped for him before his sister smiled and told him that they should be on their way. Then, she thanked me, because she knew that I had made that kid’s day.
To which I replied, “No, thank you.”
And more of my cosplay. I swear I don’t have that many costumes ^^;;; This one comes with a story and a cute kid :)

I’m a strong, independent princess who don’t need no plumber savin’ me (in other news, I’m still floored at all the responses to my cosplay *major blush*)
This is the clock that I built. Got the wooden M and the clock parts and put together a (hopefully) fancy clock dedicate to Super Mario Brothers. I sketched the levels on there then burned them onto the wood. This clock was at Geek.Kon this weekend and was purchased (thank you wonderful customer!), but you can always order another one, of anything with a letter like that, not just Mario. The next project I think is taking a P and putting Pinkie Pie all over it :)
