I'm making progress on the top part of the bodice for this cosplay! Since this top part is less busy of a design, I wanted to play with painting techniques I never fully tried before, such as gradients, and wet-on-wet techniques. I also realized too late that I needed pokemon here

Got a bunch of upgrades for #WIPWednesday ! I swear, every time I fix and restyle Momo's wig, it looks better! . After being in research-forever-loop, (because I only have one of these perfectly colored green inflatable toys) I tackled my inflatable hands. And I think I'm getting the hang of it?

#WIPWednesday has been one big victory, built over months! I feel such joy to make a complete-from-scratch thing again, that fits me and makes me feel super cute. I've needed that boost.  . Now time to put all of these changes in a clean pattern, and work on silk painting the top part of the bodice!

Here's How it's done done DONE . But a speedy route of how this scarf was made . But I love that pattern on Zoey! No one in the outside, non-internet world pointed out that this is a huntrix/zoey scarf, but here's hoping someone will eventually get it!

Which pokemon is your favorite that's in the whirlpool? . My silk painting is done! Well, the lower half of the bodice of my Pokemon Legends Arceus May cosplay is painted on, haha!  . My instructor is giving me another one of these big silk scarf, so I think I'll do the upper half of the top!

I had to draw this cause it makes me very weepy 💖 #sailormoon #artemisii #fanart

Let's continue celebrating those bold enough to take the stage in #cosplaycompetitions ! I made templates to celebrate you! So these cosplays was a multi-competition process; Animazement -> Tsubasacon -> Kinyoubicon, to finally compete with a fully made Pheonix Wright & Maya Fey

My #wipwednesday is more digital haha! I made a tool to plan for PokemonXP and boost all of our chances of getting a ticket!  Next, I made a template to celebrate cosplay competitors! Finally, I finished painting half of my top for my Pokemon Legends Arceus May cosplay!

I really wanna go to #pokemonXP , but I'm expecting hunger games/PAX East/Prime/SDCC level's of ruthlessness to get tickets.  So, we gotta plan! And I made this so we all have a plan and max our chances of getting in! . Comment your fave pokemon so I can send you a copy of this tool!

A cosplay colleague said something about #cosplaycontests . So, let's celebrate everyone who has ever competed. . I made templates for you! I'll start, with my first contest, with our Pokemon Black & White cosplays, at Anime Expo's chibi masquerade. I made all those things in between my internship!

It's okay to be broke with multiple WIP cosplays and no new cosplay plans for the new year . or to to still add new plans in, despite your best judgment Or to not do any at all! . With all this new year positivity, it's okay to not have any plans at all, and to do what makes you happy. <3 #cosplans

These local and amazing fabric stores in the SF Bay area make JoAnns look like the school section of a wallgreens, haha . Shiny fabric adventures to G-Tex @gtex_fabrics / @gtexllc , with punster @wireheadarts, in this many part series showing you that you don't need JoAnns to craft!

JoAnna: "We're doing such a great job together! Let's get a selfie!" Micahela: "Fuuuiine. But I'm not smiling. A corporation asking me to smile is offensive." . I'm sure your new years resolution is to support small businesses, rite? . Joanna: @hellogwello Michaela: meeee 📸 @blizzardterrak

Reflection time! Lessons learned from doing  the top 9 of the year: don't forget to repost old content. 4 of these are not taken this year, and that's okay! . he majority of these were all done with friends. Like only 2 out of 9 were only me in the picture. Also, I got 2 videos in here, what?

"Yes, we did update Santa on your new address! I told him myself" - Yor . Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you, from the Spy x Family to yours! Spending it wonderfully? . From: Spy x Family, Episode 13 visuals⁠ Anya: @hellogwello⁠ Yor, crafted by: Me Photog: @chrispang.productions

"Hmm, this dress seems a little impractical; what if I get blood on it? Or dirt from the scumbags?" - Yor . Also plz don't ban me for posting things with similar tags on social media . From: Spy x Family, Episode 13 visuals⁠ Yor, crafted by: Meeeeee⁠ Photog: @chrispang.productions

"This hat is normal, right?" - Yor . of course, she's prepared and probably hiding something underneath that hat it's probably a Christmas present haha . Series: Spy x Family⁠ Character: Yor , Episode 13 key visual x Crazy Ex Girlfriend's 1930's "Settle for Me" video⁠ Photography: @blizzardterrak⁠

For #wipwednesday I've been trying @ this inflatable props deal; I want cool-looking hands for Momo! I got a bunch of inflatable tools to prototype! Glues don't look great; heat continues to be my dear friend I think I'm brave enough to make hands now? #momocosplay #momoayase #momoayasecosplay

POV when you have an idea for a pose, but worry that you might get kicked out . I suggest you chant the quote "ask for forgiveness, not permission". And do it super quick! .⁠ From: Spy x Family, Episode 13 visuals⁠ Anya: @hellogwello⁠ Yor: Meeeeee⁠ Photog: @BlizzardTerrak⁠ #yorsday

WIPWednesday is trusting the process! For my #momoayasecosplay , I tried to make a hair style that preserves the wig length for reuse; but, I gave up & I needed to cut it. I studied & tried out wig styling tutorials . But GAIS all of it was worth it. Felt so confident & cute in this cosplay.

"WOW is this what a family christmas looks like??" - Yor . Love how dramatic this shot is! Tall Yor, tall church!⁠ .

Ever hear the characters in your head? My inner Momo's saying: . "Oh! These glasses are cuter than I thought. Keep them for me." . "Ya sureeee?" . "Yeah; it's so cute, Okarun won't know hit him." . Series: DanDanDan Char: Momo Ayase, school uniform Made/ by: Me 📸: Photobooth at @potobox_norcal

Which one do you like more? Gold gilding, or rubber n' buff? For #wipwednesday I'm sharing my journey to being a novice gilder! It's an old technique on applying gold leaf onto objects! We start with 3d printed pieces; it's my 3rd time trying it, and I think these don't look terrible!

"IT'S TIIIMMMMEEEEEEEEE!" - Mariah . It's time to inundate you with all of these cute xmas pictures, including this one that's just perfect for a family postcard! . From: Spy x Family, Episode 13 visuals⁠ Anya: @hellogwello⁠ Yor, crafted by: Me Photog: @chrispang.productions

Of course, I'd be the kind of artist who'd try a very complicated design as her SECOND silk painting Long-time friends of the channel know my first cosplays was one of the most difficult garments to make, haha Now the question is: how should I wear it? Around my neck isn't good

Happy dance for a new dress! It took a bit, and many mistakes were made! But I'm so happy to make something that fits me so well! The pockets are super deep, and I lined it with upholstery fabric to make the skirt drape dramatically like that. All of the iconography for the next dress was in place.

"I only wear black or red. It's is easier to hide blood stains." - Yor . YES she looks great in other colors but red is already SO good on her. The strength, the life it represents! .⁠ Series: Spy x Family, dressy!⁠ Yor: Me⁠ 📷: @oscarc.photography

NO TRAGIC LESBEANS HERE . Now I can add "Youtube videos" as part of things I cosplay.

I'm slowly trying to acclimate her to outdoors! My current step is the harness! look she's the purrfect little baby panther who can do no wrong

It's that time again! Ren faire time means we get eeveelution time! I wanted to try and make another umbreon, not just the many UmbreYors, but with super-quick made ears, and clothes that I just love wearing! . And of course I hav my umbreon babies! . Cosplay: Umbreon 📷: @chrispang.productions
