Acen Oldies

More Outlaw Star oldies, these were taken by Vontography! We did these in 2018? I think? It's been a while but I still have my Caster Gun. It's one of my favorite props I've ever made, probably unsurprisingly.

I'm starting to get hyped for Acen this year, just a few weeks to go 🙌

May Plans

Firstly welcome to the new Patrons that we are still bringing in! Thank you so much for your support. I love getting the little dings on my phone.

So... MAY. I have a bunch of silly videos and things going on with UltraPRO, streams as usual with probably a little more 60 card thrown in. It was really fun doing New Capenna limited last week.

Cosplay and event schedule-wise I have Anime Central in Rosemont, IL May 20-22. No formal convention related activities. I'll be wearing Luc...

More NBC Previews! Spooky this time!

Chase LOVES shooting vampire-stuff and I was happy to oblige. Plus our friend Mason had returned from the Taco Bell run at this point to moonlight as the dead(?) body for the second picture.

No Brand Post-Con Preview ❤️🐰

Chase sent CosplayerUna some previews and she did a quick light edit on this one. Thought y'all would appreciate the preview.

Krampus is "Naughty" Apparently XD

So apparently TikTok took down a BUNCH of my Krampus videos because they qualified as "Adult Content and Nudity" which is hilarious considering the other stuff I see on the parts of TikTok the algorithm has landed me with. The rest of my account seems fine though? Hopefully no lasting damage and I'll still be able to post there. The vids are also ALL still up on IG soooo... Who knows XD

I think it's kind of hilarious.

I wonder if all the vids we film at NBC will get shitcanned t...

No Brand Con Preview

In addition to bringing out the Red Mage, I threw together this vampire-y costume bc one of Chase's favorite things to shoot is vampire stuff. I had gotten the big bat-wing body suit on sale and hadn't had the chance to use it for anything and one thing lead to another and... Well, I had to find a magical mirror that would actually show me my reflection 🦇😉

I am once again asking you to... Be Welcomed.

I'm posting Rei pictures with this blog post, since I'm shooting with Nude Carbon this weekend anyway I figure I'll show off some of his old work. This was a hella fun shoot. They threw me in a lake.

Again, WELCOME NEW PATRONS! Its always awesome to see when a picture goes off on socials and a bunch more of you find your way here. Its truly rad to have to the support: it means I can go more places, make more costumes, wear more costumes and get more photos... among other things.

Welcome New Faces!

Seems like we've got several new folks joining the pack today, Welcome! In honor of bunny day here's some more pictures from the archives. I wore the Red Mage costume to the Ren Faire, drank cruddy beer and yelled at other drunk people who thought I was a cat (?!) It was a good time all around.

Old Throwbacks!

I started doodling dumb little tokens 9 YEARS AGO! Good lord. My photo archives reminded me that I started with these cute little Marceline's for my Orzhov Vampire deck. If you do like my style of cute little drawn tokens keep an eye out for when I launch my Colossal DRAWdmaw Tier soon! There will only be a few spots each month but I absolutely want to get back to drawing again.

Colossal Draw-dmaw Tier Coming SOON!

I wanted to share this piece that I did several years back for Bibliovore Orc, it was very fun and I still like it quite a bit and I do very much miss drawing. I'd really like to get back into it more regularly... I've ALSO been waiting for a decent pun to make a Colossal Dreadmaw-named tier. Both very important creative endeavors.

Its obviously not live yet, I haven't figured out exactly how I want to message the numbers but I did want to make folks aware that something's in the wings...

Chandra Make Up Walkthrough P1

I posted this on the clock app yesterday, but I know plenty of folks don't enjoy that app. Or its just plain confusing and unpleasant to use. Its also nice to have everything in one place on Patreon too and its easier to take questions if anyone has any.

There's a make up P2 coming and then P3 is the costume going on!

Chomp Cam

I have a Chomp Flickr gallery now! I need to update the gallery links anyway, that post will be coming soon. In the meantime, enjoy my little sleepy man.

No Brand Con (April 22-24)

I'm gonna pop into NBC for a bit, mostly bc its in the WI Dells and therefore a very short drive for me, so it'd almost be silly not to go shoot with Chase. The hotel is set back on the river by the woods so there's some real nice photo ops. Reposting the Nettle Sentinel shots we got there like... four years ago or whenever it was. I'm trying to figure out what I want to bring this time.

I think Oko might be fun, I'm surprised how few photos I have of that costume.

Lucy (Detour)

God that wig turns into a monster outside. I'll make it better for next time. I am VERY out of practice anticipating what I need to do to handle these events XD

Reminder that the full photoshoot will be up soon, whenever Chase has the time for the processing and editing. I think the next time that I'll be wearing Lucy will be Anime Central in Rosemont, IL in May.

Hell Takes Anime Detour

Have some silly pictures from the weekend - we did ACTUAL photoshoots with Nude Carbon studios and a few videographers got recording of us for some videos! Very exciting. When those hit the internet I'll make sure to relay the links.

I've got some wig taming to do (after two years off of cons I have, in fact, totally forgotten what wind does to long wigs like this, whoops), but the costumes themselves are VERY comfortable since I just get to tromp around in a suit!

Espeon Oldies

More throw-backs from an old Nude Carbon shoot! These were... 2017? 2018? I don't remember, honestly. I drew a bunch of eevee-lutions and we did fun version of them. We never QUITE got the full group together, sadly.

On a happier note I'm hella excited to shoot and film a bunch more stuff this weekend! Stay tuned :D

If the suit fits...

(Chomp was not happy he couldn't sit on my lap while I was sewing xD)

Suit fits! Boots fit! Boots match! I've got the horns and the crown and the tail in the works and I'm PRETTY sure I have a wig somewhere that'll work. I think Luci's finally gonna happen at Detour.

Anime Detour (Next Weekend Updates)

So, it looks like I should have a new costume ready for AD 😈 BUT I've got the whole weekend with friends and Nude Carbon, I could definitely bring something else... Thoughts?

Upcoming Plans, Schedules & Give-Aways

Sounds like we'll be headed to make an appearance at Anime Detour in the Twin Cities, MN in a few weeks. I'm not sure what I'll shoot yet but I'm sure I'll find some kind of trouble to get up to with Chase/Nude Carbon Studios. These are the silly K'larysca shots we got on one of our last adventures.

Stream schedule is basically locked in for Wednesday nights around 8 CST thanks to the Ultra Pro folks sponsorship. Keep an eye out for the INEVITABLE stupid shit that'll happen on March 16...

Another Proxy Guy/Tappy Collab!

I really liked this dumb sketch idea, and this was the perfect excuse to film it.

I have some lovely Bayou proxies from the Proxy Guy to give away! If you haven't commented on the tiktok, the IG or the twitter post make sure to get in on those for a chance to win! OR if you're looking to pick up a whole set of playtest cards and don't want to mess around with the chance of winning one you can pick up a full set at ...

Tiktok Cosplay Review

Anytime I can make TikToks that are just cosplay pictures, its a good day XD What are you favorites?

Let's see how video goes!

Patreon's posting system is so odd, but let's give this a try. This is a tiktok from Valentine's Day. I know (from experience) that tiktok is a weird app that's sorta hard to understand and its easy to miss stuff since the app prioritizes its algorithm over follows more often than not. If folks like seeing them here I can definitely continue to repost and collect them on patreon!

Valentine's Day Drop!

(With bonus Chomp because who doesn't love bonus Chomp)

It was fun to dress up as Asuka again, I wanted to try this dress on for a photoshoot in the future anyway. This wig holds up quite well, one day I'll get the little pony tails teased a bit more so they fluff up enough but alas... Its never on my mind until I pull the wig out for photos. Of course.

I filmed a few tiktoks and IG reels as well, I'm going to try linking them through Patreon since that's... SOMETHING I should b...

V-day Content Delay

Still working on some Valentines stuff, I'll get something up this evening. Hopefully? In the meantime here's some Chomp content since I was running around with him all weekend. I should probably make a folder of all the Chomp pictures in the galleries.

Early Valentines Day Content

My plan is to shoot V-Day content this weekend, but in the meanwhile... have some old classics that me and Ashlen shot back at an SCGCon. God damn Ashlen's so god damn hella cute.

My stupid Valentines Day stream also went EXCEEDINGLY well last night! We'll be doing more specialized streams like this, with more dumb goodies to give away.

Stream Updates!

We'll be announcing on stream soon, but Patrons obviously get some early insider knowledge! Our silly little stream has a sponsor, and a good one too: We've got an Ultra Pro sponsorship in the wings. It's not lost on me that we got a sponsorship before we got a name that I like but... When have I ever done anything in the correct order, eh?

In addition to having a revolving door of playmats and goodies to show off on stream, I'll be previewing cool new products when they've got somethi...

Prequel App

If anyone was curious, since a bunch of folks are playing around with this app on IG and Twitter, I gave it a try. It is a free download: it'll mess around and try to get you to pay for the premium but you can click through and get to the home screen and start playing around. This filter that everyone is using is a basic preset anyway. It definitely works best with front-facing symmetrical face photos and it turns out I don't take a ton of them since I usually smile crooked and snarky 😏 I'...

More Compleated Holiday Content to Come
