Had my first Spanish lesson yesterday 🤩 I'm so excited for next week's class. I'm in a private intensive lessons to try to catch up to the group ahead of me, after my first class my teacher said he expects I'll be able to catch up by March break. Being bilingual in French is helping SO much!

:o When the sketch layer sends you~

Absolutely so in love with this sketch of young Link and Epona (and Navi) from OOT! Epona looks so happy 😊 #lozoot #lozfanart #linkfanart #epona #legendofzelda #legebdofzeldafanart

Ocarina of Time fanart brainworm continues! #malon #ocarinaoftime #lozfanart #legendofzelda #malonfanart #legendofzelda

Drawing Malon fanart has me really deep in the OOT and MM feels rn. And I'm still fawning over these Anju photos from last summer that I barely shared anywhere. Cosplay was made by my friend Anniechie Designs #loz #legendofzelda #majorasmask #anju #lozcosplay #ocarinaoftime

The "Drawing Malon, to drawing Epona" pipeline is real guys #lozoot #lozfanart #ootmalon #malonfanart #malonandepona #epona #ootepona #eponafanart #ocarinaoftime

Did a quick sketch exercise, drew young Malon from memory. #ootzelda #ootmalon #malon #lozfanart #legendofzelda

Gunslinging Bloodhunter's got 'em in his sights. Warm up sketches for serotonin #digitalart #characterart #ocart #dndoc

I couldn't help myself, I added colour! The DM described the dress my character was wearing as: sunset on a gown.

I have never recovered from the fact that 2 years ago my D&D oc waltzed with the BBEG of our campaign in a liminal space shared between them due an arcane bond. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dndanimation #dndoc #ocart

Started a new cosplay project for the new year! Hoping to have it done by the end of the month so I can do a wintery photoshoot with her. This feels like a niche character at this point but I still love her ^^ #cosplay #thelastunicorn #princessamalthea #cosplaywip

YESSSSSS 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

"That's cringe" My brother in yikes, no one can agree on (or predict) what is or isn't cringe-- it will always come down to personal taste, go in peace and let people make things 😌

Someone else said it but it bears repeating: "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is the best movie ever because Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow, human actors. "Muppet Treasure Island" is the best movie ever because Tim Curry treats himself as a Muppet.

My sister-in-law has been adter me to start ACOTAR for so long and I finally audiobooked it through our library. It's been fun to give her updates as I got through it. Now, maybe years of fanfiction has given me brainrot but I did not find it as Spicy as I was lead to believe 🤷🏼‍♀️

Maladaptive daydreaming again opps

Our table has an established inside joke that Gabraxia will be building a menagerie of dangerous or alarming "pets" post-campaign. She has the resident Bloodhunter, Truhk, roped into helping her... The "Bait and Switch" doesn't always go as planned. The very reasonable Cleric, Lee, is not impressed.

Still astounded that after two years of struggle I managed to finally finish my OOT Zelda this summer. Sometimes I think about all that's gone on in my life between when I started the project and when I finished it, and it makes me want to cry happy tears #loz #lozoot 📸 instanttofphotography

Taking a sewing/cosplay break so I'm pouring all of my creative energies into OC art again (as if I ever stopped). I've always wanted to make a character turnaround and I finally had the confidence in skill to do it #ocart #dndoc #characterart #originalcharacter #characterillustration #faun #faunoc

Who's watching Hazbin Hotel S2?! I think Lute's Balad has been my favourite song so far, two episodes left for me! I was inspired to give their art style a quick try with Charlie ^^ #charliemorningstar #hazbinhotel #hazbinhotels2 #hazbinhotelfanart #charliemorningstarfanart

Showing up on BSKY to drop JesterxFjord fanart then disappear back into the mysterious forest from whence I came. Who else is excited for the Wedding event??? #criticalrolefanart #jesterlavorre #critrolefanart #dndart #critter #jexterxfjord

New art of my druid Talashir! With his druid friend Gibby created by my friend @banditspurs.bsky.social #druid #moondruid #dungeonsanddragons

Guess who felt like an absolute 🤡 when she realized that acetone does in fact NOT seem to dissolve contact cemet residue as she thought it did. #cosplayfail #cosplaywip #cosplay

I have a masquerade skit outlined and scripted, and I've started planning a new cosplay panel 🤩 I'm feeling like I'm finally catching back some of my 2018 cosplay energy!

Breath of the Wild Zelda yesterday at a local mini con ^^ I love that this costume is over half a decade old and is still rock solid!

Getting ready for a mini Con this afternoon!

She's done 😍 So happy with the shadows and linework on this one. I got really into flow several times while working on this and it definitely excited me to be working on such a beloved character! #dndoc #npc #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #characterillustration #characterart

I get to draw my dnd wifey again <3 she went gloves off in combat last session and I can't resist a badass looking NPC! Still much to change but the idea is there. Amelia belongs to @quincyknows.bsky.social #dndoc #dndart #ocart #characterillustration #characteart #dungeonsanddragons #digitalart

Nothing like the artistic high after a good DND session to get you wanting to draw again!

I will never not listen to the Banjo Kazooie soundtrack at the slightest reference.

How I LOVE drawing OC portraits! This was a silly meme sketch I did of my friend's dragonborn barbarian and his "son". I love meme sketches, gotta find more inspiration! #dungeonsanddragons #dndocs #ocart #characterart #dragonborn

I'm beginning to believe that "Planning a project" is actually an entirely different hobby from "Making a project".

I had galaxy-brain last night and realized that I should have just basted my tabard to a base fabric so I could fit it to my big-boi hoop..

Feeling anime nostalgic today, so throwing back to one of my earlier cosplays; Lacus Clyne. The only access I had to anime for a very long time was whatever YTV graced to offer me: Inu Yasha, Witch Hunter Robin, Dragon Ball, GUNDAM Seed/Destiny, to name a few. #lacusclyne Photo: Theorem Pro

Embroidery and beading progress on my tabard has slowed to an absolute crawl but by god I'm still crawling!

I miss drawing my friends' OCs 😩

My best memory from BOTW was definitly hearing music from the Gerudo tower, getting louder and louder until I reached the top to find Kass. I had never seen him before. It was so special to me. What's yours? 📸 @spsphotography.bsky.social Wig @minedoko.bsky.social #zelda #cosplay

One last hurrah for these nails before I pull them off tonight- I'm just not agile enough with these nails back now that I'm back at work.

I fundamentally don't know how to use Bluesky in any meaningful or interesting way, and it shows. I'm bummed because I am having GREAT conversations on 🧵s but I want to find that forum here too to get away from META. I just don't see the same kind of community building here, I want to try tho.

Started learning personal finance in my late 20s Started gardening in my 30s Taught myself digital art at 30 Learning ASL at 35 I cannot wait to see what I learn next, opportunities for learning are the world's greatest gift to us all!

Initially I told myself I wanted the tabard to *feel* royal, use quality materials and textures- and I think that was like shooting myself in the foot because any time I started thinking about working on it I tripped up with "What if it's not good enough?" I realized I just had to start somewhere.

Every few seasons I will obsessively download images of this costume from Yuna's forced wedding in FFX, as if I'm finally going to take her off my Wishlist. Alas I have already too many large projects on the go and so very very little energy. I shall pay to the Fayth one more season.

Heard a snippet of Inu Tasha's opening theme "Change the world" yesterday and it has not let me go since. Oh, to be 14 again watching the late night anime round-up on YTV, only to stay up long enough to watch the exact episodes rerun again at 2am.

Working through some more Zelda progress and doing samples for the tabard while I wait for materials to arrive by mail.

It's been a day but a mini order of supplies came in the mail today <3 The project is still technically pretty speculative, but I sure needed that dopamine hit this afternoon.

I'm inclined to say "Convention season started early this year" since I attended my first con, but with conventions seemingly every month of the year, what do you think actually constitutes *Con Season*? ➡️ Check out my first Con experience of 2025 and see who gets to rep Canada at NCC in Sweden!

Here to kill monsters and hopefully not eat them I need to tackle my backlog of photos 💕 this one was taken by @banditspurs.bsky.social and edited by me If you like the staff, the file is available on my Etsy and cult3d

Introduction post! Hi, I'm Mae-Gwyn and I am a cosplayer from 🇨🇦. I love to cosplay idols and magical girls, but I also really love fantasy like the LOTR! My most recent (complete) cosplay was Eowyn (LOTR). Nice to meet you all! Photo credits to Myungeki.

Been seeing discourse about how the con vibe has changed since COVID, and while I definitely agree, cons still are such a great way to meet other people who share the same passions! Case in point: shout out to @austynlarkam.bsky.social for the great end of con chat about goldwork and LOZ!!
