Hello my dear ! Now that my technical problems on Patreon are mostly solved, I was able to focus on creating new content, replying to your messages and reading your amazing feedback... And to be honest it gave me such a big boost!
Your comments and encouragements are really the best source of motivation, and I've read many fantastic messages from you all this week so I wanted to thank you all here, and tell you how much I appreciate these ^_^
As a community, you are my best supporters so I have updated my community goals with something new that we probably will achieve quite soon when a few more new patrons join! ;) And the rewards for that new goal are related to your favorite sorceresses, and I think that you will enjoy it!!! ;)
Don't hesitate to check it out!
Meanwhile, here is a new photo from my latest Triss photoshoot for you!
How is you week going? Tomorrow I'll have a photoshoot in a veeeery beautiful place and I'll finally announce the theme of this month ;) Who will try to guess?
Today I just wanted to share with you exclusive wallpapers of my Cyberpunk 2077 cosplay. I hope you like me as V ;) Very very soon I'll work with CD PROJEKT RED again as their official V cosplayer on the event in.....( information is secret haha)
Also I'm preparing A VERY VERY SPECIAL GIFT for my Patrons on high tiers. Keep an eye out for the announcement in the next few days ;D
IMPORTANT INFO!
I had so many unread messages because of my technical problems with Patreon, but I've now replied to 80% of them last few days. Please don't worry if I didn't reply to you yet. I'll do it very very soon, I promise <3 Sorry again if you were affected by my technical problems and thanks for your patience and amazing support ! You're an amazing community and I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart that you've decided to support me here!
Irina
P.S. Thanks for your comments under my last post. I couldn't choose just 1 girl and I've decided to make both XD That way you don't need to make this difficult choice between Yen and Triss. Why do you need to choose if you can have both ;)
Wait for Triss and Yen boudoir photoshoots from me soon ;D
Today I have a lot to share with you! First, as we’re now in a new month, it’s time for your rewards! For those of you in the northern hemisphere, I hope that it will help you keep you warm Once again thank you for your amazing support in October! Thanks to you, I have been able to rent a beautiful location, great dress, and wild beast ( hahahaha XD ) for that Halloween photoshoot with my dream team Oltaura and Alicenevermindart ( instagram) They are literally the magicians (or may I say... witches? They helped me to make this October photoshoot so beautiful! Your support is invaluable and I’m glad that you can directly enjoy the results on Patreon! So, what do you think about my vision of witches? Looking harmless and cute? Don’t be fooled by appearances I’m already working on next months’ photoshoots and I am planning a variety of fun and very nice sets, and I want to make sure that the quality is always the best possible! It’s a lot of planning work, to first narrow down the concepts, then find the locations, styling, ideas, props etc, but I love this kind of creative work and I can’t wait for you to discover next month’s shoot here on Patreon! ;)
IMPORTANT: As you may have seen, I encountered a lot of technical issues again on Patreon particularly with the messaging system. So you may have sent some messages that I haven’t seen due to that! If you miss any of your rewards for these past months (please check your spam folders and Patreon inboxes first :), then please send me a new message and I will sort that out with you! If you have already sent a message in the past and you still have a problem, could you kindly resend me a message with the description of the issue/missing rewards! Normally all issues should be resolved soon, and everything should run smoothly from now on! Thanks again for your patience while I am fighting against technology! If you were Patron for October, you should receive, or have received your rewards, so please check your Patreon inbox and emails, and enjoy your private tarot reading with your very own witch! Thank you for being with me!
Halloween is nearly here! I’m happy to give you a sneak peek with a first exclusive HD picture from my new Halloween photoshoot! This project is one of the most beautiful I've ever worked on. I really like the amount of all little details I have on these photos. First of all I found a really good location with many props, but also I bought many specific witchy things only for this photoshoot. I'm a big fan of this theme in movies and games and I have really a lot of interest in witches in general! There is something very attractive in all these dark rituals, tarot decks, love potions and magic, so for this Halloween I’ve decided to create a classic witch with all popular attributes, but not the cliche witch from Disney movies either! I spent many days to find a perfect dress and cape for this photoshoot and rented a real black cat for the photo shoot (even if I'm very allergic...I sacrifice myself for art hahahaha hope you appreciate it ) The rewards from this photoshoot will be sent very soon! Keep an eye out!
FINALLY here's a big update for you! Unfortunately I had to deal again with several Patreon technical issues that delayed the sending of rewards and some of the activities, but I guess we are all getting used to it! Patreon is an amazing platform to connect with you, but its technical side is a bit clunky and not very reliable sadly!
So I'm very glad to share today a preview of a very natural and beautiful photoshoot I did while I was in Japan, that September Patrons should have already received! After working at Tokyo Game Show, I visited a traditional Japanese guesthouse in the forest near Kyoto, which had an amazing outdoors hot bath! It felt so relaxing after the wild work days for Cyberpunk 2077 at TGS, you can probably see it on my face hahaha! Due to Patreon technical problems I had to send your private links for the rewards manually by email this time, so please make sure to check your emails and the spam folder for your rewards!
You will also receive VERY VERY soon this months' rewards from my new Halloween photoset! And for those of you who are just joining, you will get extra rewards from my Gothic Photoset too!! For this year's Halloween set, I wanted to show you how I imagine witches and rented a great studio, outfit and "dangerous" animal In my imagination, witches use their magic powers to stay young and to hide their dark powers hahahaha I hope that you will like it and that you will dare to follow the witch to her cabin for a tarot reading hehe
Also I will update the private Instagram account to add those who have access to it, and I will very soon hold a live stream with you so we can chat and celebrate Halloween! Keep an eye here in the next few days for more details.
Thank you again for your support this month and I am planning a lot of surprises and great content for the next few months!
Hello friends! I just came back from China and now I'm trying to beat my jetlag haha XD and how is your day going?
I have a full month before my next big event, so I'll stay at home and will be able to work on my old and new projects. I'm going to make a lot of exclusive content for you and for my public pages. Also I still want to make a videoblog from Shanghai to share with you more amazing moments of my trip and my collab with CDPR. I'll make it as soon as I find a good editing program for Windows. After Mac it's gonna be unusual to work with different apps, but please wish me good luck ^_-
As I promised I made an extra photoshoot for all my Patrons, because last month we achieved the first community goal. Here are 2 new pictures in high resolution, hope you will like them! I'll release the full photoshoot next week, be ready ;)
Have you seen the 4 Cyberpunk2077 concept art posters about 4 different social classes in night city? I find them amazing and dream about putting them on my wall! At the time when CD PROJEKT RED revealed these at E3 I already started to work on my V and even though I had technically no time for an extra cosplay I fell in with the neo-kitsch artwork and the design of this golden dress, so I immediately decided to do it. I didn't have a deadline with costume, but seeing the hotel I would stay at in Shanghai I made sure to finish it before my trip, because the location here is perfect for my photoshoot! I can't wait to show you some beautiful shots we made here! I'm in love with the decor of the hotel. There are no photo studios which can look that grandiose and stylish! I know that this character is very unusual for me, but I'm bored of doing what everyone expects from me, so SURPRISE ! XD
Also, do you want to see a video blog about my trip in Shanghai, photoshoot and the event with CD PROJEKT RED or you prefer reading about it?
First of all I wanted to say thanks again for your support! As you may know I'm in Shanghai right now. I arrived here for the official photoshoot for CD PROJEKT RED (creators of very popular games "The Witcher", "Gwent", "Cyberpunk 2077" ) and their official press conference at China Joy. I'm a big fan of this company and their games so I have no words to describe how happy I am to be part of this collaboration. For a cosplayer and gamer there is no better reward than to be appreciated by creators. I just want to tell you that I'm very thankful from the bottom of my heart, because your support allows me to produce the best possible content! Maybe it's not obvious for people who just see the final result of my work, but the process behind is extremely complicated! When I just started to make cosplay (2010-2011) it was only pure fun and I didn't think about things like production quality. I was okay to make my photoshoots with my friends who even didn't know how to use a photo camera properly haha. After so many years I learned so many things about the process of creating content, so you can easily see the difference between my past photoshoots and the recent ones. I'm still learning and want to make them as good as possible. One of the most important things in my projects is too be able to work with professionals and have the opportunity to find perfect locations. Thanks to your help I can do it! I hope that you can see how much attention I put into my works.
All printed rewards will be sent as soon as I come back from Shanghai ( August the 8th), but please don't forget to fill out the form I will send you today before the 8th. I'll also send today the July mermaid photoshoot and I'll send you even extra photos from this project in next week. Also the bonus photoshoot for reaching our first community goal will be distributed within this month and all Patrons will get the full photoshoot ^_^
3rd enjoy the new HD wallpaper from my photoshoot in Shanghai ;)
Hello my dear friends! As many of you know, I moved to my new flat and it's a big achievement in my life! I've never had easy money and I had to work hard to achieve this goal at 22 y.o. I feel much more confident and comfortable to have my own space.
As you know, thanks to your support we've reached the goal of 200 Patrons, which means that I'll release an extra photoshoot for ALL tiers. I've decided to use an unusual style. No photo studio, no difficult costume or sexy lingerie. Just the real me at home with no makeup. Internet is full of "perfect" photos and "perfect" people nowadays and sometimes we lose the connection with reality. Maybe it's not the most striking photoshoot I've ever made, but it's just the true me. Not a cosplayer, model etc, but just Irina. Simple Russian girl haha. Hope you will like it ^_^
P.S. I have some very exciting news, you'll just have to wait for the announcement next week. I will finally show you on which project I worked hard last months.
We did it! And so fast! We are now 200 *_* Thank you so much for your support and for all your nice messages about the photoshoots I recently shared! I adore getting your feedback and it motivates me to create more fun, surprising and exciting content for you! Talking about new content, I have just shot this month’s photoshoot... You’ll see, it’s a little fishy You hopefully should like it! Here’s just a little teaser exclusively for you!
And since we have reached our first goal and that we are 200 I will start working on a bonus shoot to thank you all! I am finishing a secret cosplay right now but I’ll think about an original idea for your bonus photoshoots! Don’t hesitate to share your funny, crazy ideas in comments!
Thank you again! You are the best community I could dream about!
Love,
Irina
PS : I just came back from St-Petersburg, where I had the very first photoshoot of one of the most difficult cosplays I ever worked on! Your great support helped a lot! I will tell you all about it in a few days! ;) Meanwhile I am in the middle of moving flats so I will add you all on the closed instagram in a few days and will set the date for the closed stream, so we can all chat together soon and celebrate this first successful goal!
First of all I wanted to say thank you very much for all your support! It means the world to me. Thanks to you, I have been able to do several additional cosplays and create high quality photoshoots!
As you know for the past few months I have created a lot of content for Patreon and made several exclusive photoshoots for you BUT at the same time, I encountered several serious technical issues with Patreon (my account was blocked for a while, that required updating tiers and content, and had other big technical issues in the distribution of rewards...). These difficulties were made even harder as I had no Patreon admin to help, so the result is that many of you didn’t receive the huge majority of these contents.
Now, the first very good news: I will have from now on someone who helps me full time with Patreon to make sure that you get your rewards on time if I won't be able send them to you during an important event or deadline nights ( which I have pretty often haha)! This is very important for me, and my priority is for you to get all your rewards each month!
The second news is that all rewards from the last few months will be resent again to make sure that everybody gets the content that they were expecting.
Also patrons who join from now on will get access to the free past photoshoots, on top of the additional new monthly rewards corresponding to their tier
Again I would like to thank you so much for contributing to my creations and for your amazing support. Get ready to discover every month some new exclusive content, starting this month!
Patreon is an amazing platform to connect with you, but its technical side is a bit clunky and not very reliable sadly!
You hopefully should like it! Here’s just a little teaser exclusively for you!
