Forgot to post here; we will be at ColNorth!

Our M-01 horn set was one of the first we ever made! @mimicrycosplay.bsky.social became our apprentice while we were adjusting the masters and remaking molds as they wore out. Ethan casted his own sapphire horn set pictured here! 📸: Brian Boling #ffxiv #ff14 #ffxivcosplay #ffxivaura #dragon

Here’s @berrybabecos.bsky.social about to go into battle with our F-01 set in Sapphire, which is our most popular highlight color! 📸: @mahoumaddie.bsky.social #ffxiv #ff14 #ffxivcosplay #ffxivaura

We have Genyaapa (IG) modeling our F-04 set! They picked a green garb to match the emerald highlights of the horns. 💚 📸: Brian Boling #ffxiv #ffxivcosplay #ff14 #ffxivaura #dragon

Here’s the lovely @yayahan.bsky.social modeling our F-03 horn set! Requests for Amethyst horns/tails were popular at the time, and for this set we played around with some additional colors for a pink to violet gradient. 📸: Brian Boling #ffxiv #ff14 #dragon

Our F-02 set modeled by @courageofstars.bsky.social ! The paint job was a fun experiment with various metallic powders plus blue dye to create a twilight sky look. 📸: @mahoumaddie.bsky.social We do offer custom colors on our dragon sets, with pricing dependent on complexity/number of colors

Last year we brought a bunch of our dragon horns to a cabin trip with friends, and they modeled for us! First up is @mahoumaddie.bsky.social wearing our F-01 set with gold highlights; her smiles are contagious! 💖 She edited this photo herself as well #ffxiv #ffxivcosplay #ff14 #ffxivaura

The grind for the perfect bird continues, which brings back memories of my favorite @yeticon.bsky.social photo from a few years ago. Kevin is an absolute U N I T and I love him. Just look at this bird. 🥹 #ffxiv #ff14 #viera #yeticon #cosplay #chocobo Viera ears by @turtlesmithy.bsky.social

With @gatewayfate.bsky.social coming up, tis' the perfect time to share some FFXIV content! Excited to be returning to the con this year both as an attendee, and as additional cosplay contest staff that Sunday! Photo by @faunry.bsky.social Robe Embroidery File by @turtlesmithy.bsky.social

It’s always an honor to outfit fellow Warriors of Light! Keep us in mind for your Fanfest cosplay plans, but also, now’s a great time to get your Halloween orders in before the ticket lottery hits 🎃 #ffxiv

We’ve recently gotten an influx of inquiries for Dragoncon and PAX (mostly bunnies)! The current queue of fur orders are expected to ship tomorrow or Friday. We can take on more orders to ship next week, but we recommend ordering before Monday (the 18th), and leaving a note with your deadline.

New stickers have arrived! Featuring art by @demonatemu.bsky.social of our characters in the Night of Devilry set (since @gatewayfate.bsky.social is close to Halloween)! Gateway is currently doing a collab promotion with Stickerapp for the WoL exchange 🎉

Just a lil’ preview of @malindachan.bsky.social’s wig and @turtlesmithy.bsky.social’s Viera ears for Dancing Green! Don’t mind my unshavenness. 😂 Absolutely looking forward to the whole debut at @gatewayfate.bsky.social this year. 🐰🕺🐸 #dancinggreen #ffxiv #cosplay #viera

Anyways uh hi #AniRevo2025

Eos Fuyu, Crystal, Coeul #FFXIV_CC hashtag @en.finalfantasyxiv.com This is my homemade Taapu cosplay from Dawntrail. As I am blind, I loved her inclusion- she's just a person working in the world who happens to be blind. And the fact she doesn't visually track the WoL when talking is A+! 1/2

We’re finishing up a huge wave of orders today! If you got a shipping notification, your order will be dropped off this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Did a scenic shoot at Garden of the Gods, with my WOL in Thavnairian set + DNC chakrams! Can't tell you how uplifting this shoot was for me. My self-confidence kinda dropped over the months, but after a couple of months of working on myself, I'm REALLY excited to get photos back. Credits in reply!

Costa Del Sol Cloud is almost done! Have been wanting to make this one since Rebirth came out. Feels kinda weird to be making a project relevant to the season for once lol. Excited to shoot some photos of the costume later this month! Chocobo design by @turtlesmithy.bsky.social

Aaaaa thank you @turtlesmithy.bsky.social these look so good and are the perfect color for my soraka ! Thank you for your help , kindness and patience ~Ruki

Dancing Green 🐰🕺🪩🐸 For the ear color, we’re using a new bright green fur, but we haven’t added it to our listing swatches yet. If you need to order ears for this character and want the new color, shoot us a message on Etsy! Wig: @malindachan.bsky.social #ffxiv #ff14 #ffxivcosplay #ff14cosplay

Finished a batch of fur orders last week, and we expect the next wave of dragon orders will ship by the end of this week. Our slow season usually begins around this time of year, so you’ll probably be seeing more posts/updates from us soon. Thank you for your support!

THANK YOOOU the ears (and tail!) are from @turtlesmithy.bsky.social ! And the wig is by my friend @toshigoni.bsky.social cause I could NOT have managed that myself

We're going to be at @cosplayamerica.bsky.social this weekend as Educators! We've got workshops, panels, and "Office Hours" where you can meet the instructors for questions/guidance. You can also catch us on Friday at Opening Ceremonies and Saturday night's Gala!

If you're planning to work some cosplay magic on our main stage, good news as the contest guidelines are now available! The forms open July 7th, and we welcome both crafty cosplayers and creative market board enthusiasts. Info on the activities page of the website at gatewayfate.carrd.co#section03

"Come, devil, come," she sang, "Call out my name." Let's take this outside, 'cause we're one and the same. Our gods have abandoned us, left us instead. Take up arms, take my hand, let us waltz for the dead. #FFXIV #cosplay #FinalFantasyXIV
