Twitch Affiliate! Plus 25 patrons!

So many things to celebrate! I also passed 1k likes on FB, so that's a thing, too.

In celebration of reaching 25 patrons, I will (hopefully tomorrow) release the never before seen ChristmAsuka album, taken two years ago. Only one photo was edited and used for cards. D: Much tsundere and candy cane action.

Update on Christmas cards: the package of prints is delayed ;-; I will hopefully get them on Monday so they can be mailed out ASAP this week.

Bonus Sadako and updates

All of you eligible (before November) should have your Sadako fan signs now! Had some technical difficulties... -wheeze-

I have also ordered a new batch of prints and -surprise- Christmas card prints. ^^ Everyone in tier 2 and above will get TWO 4x6 prints in a card! ☺ I will mail them out at a respectable date for once! Wow! 😅

Feel free to upgrade to tier 2 anytime this month, but it may mean your card is late if you wait! 😱

Creating stream "highlight" reels

I'm taking the Twitch streams I remembered to download (oops) and chopping them down to manageable lengths for watching on ze YouTube.

So if you miss them and don't want to sit through the recordings, watch out for my my "highlight" reels (if me snorting with laughter at my own jokes and struggling to play the game are considered highlights)!

Planning to stream next on Dec 5th, perhaps around 8 or 9 PM EST! Will try to sneak a midday stream in eventually, too. <3

Nikita Cosplay's book

My order from Nikita Cosplay arrived! A gorgeous book with guides to all things princess cosplay, from sewing to wig-styling and makeup to photography. It comes with sewing patterns, too. I am looking forward to making another elaborate gown in the future.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in cosplaying or princess parties. <3 You can find it here. She also has a cute T-shirt to go along with it!

Evelynn base ordered!

I have pre-ordered Evelynn's basic costume from Uwowo, one of my favourite off-the-rack cosplay stores. I plan to construct the wig by splicing two wigs together, and I will follow Kinpatsu Cosplay's tutorial to make her lashers. YES! We will have the full prop this time!

Winter Cosplan - Lenore (Castlevania)

It's getting cold and snowy, so that means I need a nice warm cosplan to keep myself motivated!

Once I get Christmas card photos out of the way, I will finish Megumi, because one ought to finish one vampire girl before she starts another, and then I'll get started with this lovely lady. (Putting Toshiko on hold for now)

I have preordered her accessories from 2020-11-28 06:46:22 +0000 UTC View Post

Tharja album - online!

My Tharja photos went up online last night for tier 2 and above! Here's one of my favourites - I will make it a print in the near future. <3

Cosplays I would love to revisit...

I have dressed as a lot of characters in the past before I became a full-fledged cosplayer. There are many I would like to remake with my current skills - and access to wigs and other materials - but here are my top three.

First photo: My Knight of Ni (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) costume from grade 8. Because I was the coolest kid on the block. Ni!

Second: My first attempt to recreate an anime character - Misha from Pita-ten - featuring all thrift store/doll...

More Tharja peeks!

Now that all my birthday stream fun is out of the way, I'm back to editing! Skull boi is looking great. I can't wait until you get to see how many times my... loincloth?... gives me "lady wood" in these photos. T-T xD

Thanks to everyone who made it out to those streams, by the way! <3 I had lots of fun. And now I have a webcam (almost) ready to go. :3

Update: COVIDiots in a "pickle"

(Some of you know this already, but not everyone is active in my Discord/Snapchat) 

Unfortunately, my boss, his wife, and his entire dang PICKLEBALL LEAGUE have tested positive for COVID 19. I was not referred for a test or instructed to isolate, but I got a test on Friday anyway and chose to cancel all birthday plans and hide out at home. I am wary of my "low-risk" status since my boss tends to loom and NEVER WEARS HIS MASK in our small office.

It's possible I took my test t...

Oh right - my birthday!

I completely forgot to post about it, but it's my birthday this month! (the 18th)

If you would like to see my wishlists, they are here: Bday/Xmas and Cosplay - the first is stuff for Twitch and random books, DVDs, and games I would like. The second is more for the creation of cosp...

Tharja peek #2

The photographer has not been able to return all the images yet, so I edited this one in the mean time. ;)

New Evelynn?

Seeing the name Evelyn in my test stream (I played a bit of Stardew Valley) - which you can watch here if you want to see me struggle - reminded me! League's Evelynn has new KDA skins. Would you like to see me cosplay one of them? (with some pics of me as Evelynn as a refresher for the old skin :3)

New music video here.

Twitch stream sneak peek...

I'm going to have a test stream or two this weekend! I will try to give you fair warning for the time(s), but I have to work around my dad's extremely belated birthday and other dinner obligations... But don't worry - there will be more. :)

Here's the layout I put together to test out. Hopefully it isn't too busy. I may need to rearrange things depending on the game... And no cam yet, sorry!

Tharja peek

Here's an unedited shot from Matt Goertz! What do you think? It's perhaps a welcome change from all the pictures of me rolling in filth this month. xD (And my skull son is looking beautiful)

The photographer still needs to sort through 900 (!!!) images and send them to me for my culling and edits. I will have this album up ASAP in November. :)

Last Sadako previews

Same stairs, two very different vibes.

The rest will be up for tier 2 and above before Halloween! <3 I was hoping to get some previews of Tharja for you, but the photographer is a little backed up with shoot edits. As  a consolation prize, here's one of my favourite photos from the Sadako shoot with its spooky partner.

Boo-doir Sadako previews

Here are some of the sultry and sassy photos! I tried two different types of colour on a couple photos, making it look kind of like a blue-green TV glow. What do you think?

Photos by Matt Goertz, taken in my backyard and basement.

Tharja selfies

Gonna break up the Sadako barrage with some selfies from my shoot last night! I am not wearing her belt here because it wasn't designed very well and was a nuisance, so I wore it folded or not at all lol

Thanks to Richard for sponsoring this cosplay from Miccostumes. 🖤

Wig purchased by me from Kasou Wigs.

What is this?!

Wrong answers only. XD





(It's definitely NOT the bodysuit for Tharja from Fire Emblem that I had to wear last night... 👀)

Seriously Spooky Sadako previews

We took both actually creepy and boo-doir/goofy photos. These are some of the scary ones, which unsettle even me while I sort them alone in the basement...

Photos by Matt Goertz.

Sadako teaser

Psst.

You dropped something.

(Photo by Matt Goertz... you may need to brighten your screen on mobile xD)

Sadako selfies

Hello~

As promised, I had a photoshoot for Sadako. It is parts spooky, sexy, and silly. Here are some Snapchat selfies I took before and after the shoot with Matt Goertz. I put them in a Dropbox album to avoid the issues the Patreon app has with loading multiple images in a carousel.

EDIT: Guess it would help if I included the link! Crikey. 

Tharja skull prop

I want to recreate the Tharja figure as accurately as possible, so I needed a red skully boi.



I haven't sealed the paint yet, so I might adjust the shade of red before the shoot. I had limited colours to work with 😅 and mixed the red with bronze to muddy the colour. I honestly forgot about the crack lines... RIP accuracy!

Here's the original skull with the paints I happened to have...

Boar Hat uniform costest

Will definitely wear this for Diane and maybe another Seven Deadly Sins character. Elizabeth? Genderbent Ban? @__@ And drat, I should have posed with my Hawk plushie! 

In an earlier Snapchat video, I said I was pleased with how short the shirt was for the accuracy... But ZOINKS is it ever SHORT. That last photo is a bit scandalous, but damn - my arms are looking more toned than they have any right to be in it.

Shoutout to the blue recycling bag that randomly lifted itself up ...

Ram costest selfies

(Thank you, desktop Patreon, for being slightly less crap.)

Here are some fun costest selfies for Ram from Re:Zero. Rem is without a doubt the more popular twin, but Ram definitely has won many over with her cool attitude and mocking treatment of Subaru. I tried to pull off the "show your panties with a look of disgust" face in picture 2. xD 

What do you think?

The costume needs some serious ironing and a little alteration to fit more snugly, but not bad at all! The wig...

Ram costest - if Patreon will allow it...

I took some quick pictures in my new Ram cosplay, but... the Patreon phone app is acting up even more than usual. I will have to upload them tomorrow while on my computer. 🙄

Thanks for your patience! 💖

Meow!

Here's a flashback to last October! I'm hoping to bring Ali Kat back for another shoot in November or December (with her regular ears).

For those of you who are not active in my Discord, I figured I'd give an update - I have been quarantined for the last 6 days after a scare at work. My cosplay room is currently a disaster area with my work computer and and all the stuff I dragged in here to exist away from my household, so I haven't been able to get started with Halloween sh...

Spooky Scary Skele-shoots

I plan to have shoots for Tharja and Megumi this month along with the winner of our poll - Sadako! Hers will be more of a spoof shoot with goofy and pinup-style photos.

Freddy and Carrie were our runners-up, and I do intend to honour them in the future. 🖤

It's that time of the year again...

;)

Halloween shoot poll!

I have two ideas I am shooting for sure (Tharja from Fire Emblem and Megumi from Shiki) for next month, but I kinda want to do a goofy (and sexy) generic horror shoot, too. I got super overwhelmed at Spirit Halloween, though, so I need your help! Which ones would you like to see?
