Creating A Patreon Community (Closed Facebook group and Discord!)

Hey!! So as the month ends, I'm looking to update things to be current with other peoples' features on other Patreons! $5 patrons and up are getting more features!

I've been following Leon Chiro and LOVE his Patreon, so I'm gonna do a few things to model mine after his!

First off, Closed Facebook Group: back a few years ago I used to post to Facebook daily, with progress photos and anecdotes from my life, and just more photos in general! My Facebook page has bas...

Boudoir

So yesterday I did my first ACTUAL boudoir shoot! Like, I've done characters in lingerie before, but just me myself in the boudoir style was something very new to me! Cosplay photography involves a lot of looking directly at the camera and making dramatic, perfectly placed poses, whereas boudoir is more about looking natural and candid and it was actually really hard! Especially while attempting to also look pretty and sexy at the same time XD

I still don't know how I feel about it? Li...

I've always been a do-it-yourself kind of girl

New Aranea photo from Katsucon!! I had the honor of working with TEoSB and did my main Aranea shoot with her! https://www.instagram.com/theendofsomethingbeautiful/

TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

Right at this moment I'm cleaning my house to prepare for a boudoir shoot here tomorrow, and then I'm packaging up prints for the rest of the night so that this weekend I can make my Widowmaker cosplay!! I'...

Patreon Live Stream!

Hey guys!! I'm streaming as Zarya! Come hang out!!

https://www.youtube.com/user/LisaLikesCosplay/live

Hangout tomorrow!

Hey guys! Sorry to be posting this so late!! Hangout tomorrow will be at 3pm PST?? I feel that's early enough for my European friends maybe?! I should still be in Poison Ivy then too XD so I can steam in costume this time!

Next BIG cosplay (planning process) and Live Stream this weekend!

Here goes nothing!

I've been hit with the creative bug this week, and I've decided to go with it!

My next cosplay is Widowmaker! Sakizou-inspired! The last Sakizou-inspired cosplays I've done were my Ballerina Harley and my latest Jasmine, so I'm hoping this will turn out to be something I'm just as proud of! Lots of french Rococo elements, but I'm gonna mix in some Moulin Rouge too XD Because screw time period accuracy, amiright? These images are just some of the inspiration im...

Steff Von Schweetz collaboration and Calgary Expo?!

Okay. So. Steff had the greatest idea XD She's one of my favorite cosplayers in the community and basically all her cosplays KILL ME and just in general she's a bean.

Anyway, my point is that we're doing a polaroid swap!! If you're subscribed to the $40 tier for April you'll not only get Viktor polaroids from ME, but Fem!Yurio polaroids from Steff!! Vice versa for Steff too if you'd like to subscribe to her Patreon and support her!

Wing Tutorial!!

I've used basically the same concept for all my wings I've created, and they're really simple and easy-to-make in my opinion!

Attached is a pdf of my written tutorial, but I do quickly explain a majority of this on Cosplay Melee between 6:45 and 7:20 if you'd like a video visual of what I mean!

A FEW EDITS TO THE TUTORIAL:

-- I say in the 'materials needed' that I use Goose feathers. I've used TURKEY feathers

-- Also, I say that I adhere PVC pipes with hot glue. I ...

The tastiest Pork Cutlet Bowl!

Hiya Patrons!! Long time no chat!!

I've been out of town for the past week, first in back home to Minnesota for my Cosplay Melee party (woot woot!!) and then Anime Matsuri in Houston TX!

Anime Matsuri was a lot of fun, although my luggage got lost and I had none of my costumes all weekend! I was to premiere my new Viktor Nikiforov at the con (I just wanted something casual and fun and Viktor is one of my favorite characters in existence!) but alas, you guys get to see it here in...

Cosplay Melee!!

So back in November, RIGHT DURING BLIZZCON *cries* I was a part of this amazing experience that was Cosplay Melee!! My episode aired last night (you can buy it on Amazon if you'd like to watch it!) And I created this absolutely crazy demon thing that I wish I could wear every day of my life XD

I feel like, as patrons, the whole point is that you guys get an insider look at the experience, so here's a few notes that I'd like to talk about for the show (there's obviously a lot I'm not su...

What's coming for April!!

Wow March disappeared so fast! I've got all prints going out today from January and February (woops! Sorry for being behind @_@)! It's the first set of 3 minis!

Here's the prints before they were signed!

If you'd like any high-res images from basically anything I've ever done in the last year PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! I haven't been the best in giving you guys like a dropbox package of prints...

More Aranea and update on Toph!!

TOPH OIS DOING OKAY!! She's super drugged and has a cone on her head and looks like a dope, but she's fine :) I feel so bad for her, because she needs to be cooped up in our bathroom for two weeks and it's, in general, really sad because she's such a loving cat that generally loves all the snuggles, but I'm just happy she's doing okay!

Thank you so so much to everyone who donated to save her ;____; Like, you guys already give me so much and make everything possible. I really really car...

Saving Toph

Hey guys! I spent the weekend hospitalizing my cat, Toph, after she ate two strands of thread that were stuck in her digestive system.

When I got to the hospital, after many expensive x-rays and an ultrasound, they told me it could cost upwards of $6000 to save her. There was just no way. I just moved to Los Angeles and I'm barely scraping by as it is

After crying for probably about a half hour straight, they said they could do it for $3000 and I took it. $3500 later, Toph is a...

Chubby Bunny Challenge!

So I went over to Heather1337 's (https://www.patreon.com/heather1337) house the other day and we attempted an Easter-themed Chubby Bunny challenge! It resulted in a rather cute video, so I thought I'd share =3

The other girls are Reagan https://www.instagram.com/reagankathryn/ and Momo! 2017-03-21 00:36:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Today's Street Fighter shoot!!

,Today I joined Ireland Reid (https://www.patreon.com/irelandreid), Stella Chuu (https://www.patreon.com/stellachuu) and Carlos G Photography for an awesome Street Fighter shoot! I dunno if I would've ever made C Viper otherwise, so it was fun doing a character I wound't normally do! I'm glad Carlos suggested it =3

My life is complete. I'm ded. RIP me.

Hey There Pretty Boy ;)

I know this isn't much, and I hate giving into the whole 'throw on a wig and call it cosplay' thing, but I love Aranea from FFXV and wanted to give this a go XD

I used a self timer on my phone and tried editing myself! I'LL GET BETTER I SWEAR!

Desert Cosplay Suggestions?

Hey friends!!

Alive Alf wants to do a desert shoot in a week and a half (that's desert, not dessert, I swear!).

McCree and Jasmine are still in Minnesota, so I'm trying to think of cosplay that would be suitable for the desert!

Alf is really good at shooting absolutely beautiful cinematic-looking photography https://www.facebook.com/AliveAlfPhotography It's always so so pretty!!

Update!

So it's near the middle of the month!! Woot woot! Can't believe March is disappearing so fast! I just got back from a much-needed weekend in Florida! Which had very little to do with cosplay, but more to do with needing a break from some stressful stuff going on in my life!

Patreon rewards are going out this week! Patreon Livestream this Sunday? How does that sound!? Maybe I can do it in my new cosplay I'll be wearing that day for a shoot XD

I've got a hell of a lot going on for...

Little vlog!!

I'm literally writing this has I walk to the store!! Just a little update on life and things!!

Happy One Year Anniversary!! Poll!

It's been a crazy year! Like, an absolutely crazy year!

-- I've created over 20 costumes
-- Moved across the country to Los Angeles
-- Filmed a reality tv competition show that premieres in 20 days!! WHAT THE HECK
-- Got to share a large part of my life with YOU GUYS!!

But I'm looking to improve, always. I've played around with different content, and am curious to see what you guys enjoy and what you'd like to see more of!

February Recap!!

Wow today was a crazy month! My first month settled in Los Angeles, and a lot happened!

--Alcatraz Harley photos were released! So were boudoir Ignis photos =3 I still have more from both shoots to show you if you're interested!

-- First photoshoot with Five Rings Photography as a Valentine's Day Succubus. I'm hoping more photos will come out of this shoot slowly!

-- I made Aranea Highwind in three days and Tharja in one! Both worn at Katsucon! I didn't do any shoots a...

Katsucon

So although I mentioned 'katsucrunch' in a previous post, I've been very unclear for the week beforehand on if I was attending. This is due to a few things:

a) I was supposed to be a guest at another con, but their disorganization left me without a flight or hotel even a week before the con. I felt announcing my attendance at another con like Katsu was highly disrespectful to them, despite my cancellation and their disorganization.

b) I had a stalker attending the con, and knew ...

One weekend of cosplay progess!

Left= Saturday's progress

Right= Sunday's progress

I spent about the same amount of time on both of these so far and yet I doubt anyone will understand the effort put into Tharja! I used new techniques of covering craft foam with fabric and its a pain in the butt! Yaya Han made it look so easy!

*MUAH!!*

As I go through Katsucrunch making two new costumes (progress photos tomorrow?) here's a shot from my Valentine's succubus shoot with Five Rings Photography!!

Valentine's Day shoot is underway!

Wow am I frilly and girly right now @_@ what is going on!!

My eyes are a little blurry in these contacts so I apologize if this picture is also blurry =3 Anyway, off to shoot! I'm excited!
