DSN Ann Album ONLINE!

I have my internet set up in my new apartment now, so I can resume uploading albums for you lovely folks!

In addition to IVR Photo's standard studio photos, he also included some "natural" dancing shots from within the rave itself. Watch as I flee from shirtless men and other tomfoolery.

Check the album out, available for Cheesecake Chums and above! <3

Important Note

Hi all! Just letting you know that I have successfully moved into my new place. I am still waiting on some furniture and most of my cosplay stuff to get here, so it isn't looking promising for me to get fan signs for August done on time. If this is the case, I will send out mini signed prints instead to make up for it! I apologize for the delay, but this has been a month of chaos! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ In other chaotic news, I may only have one pigtail for Rise in time for Daisho. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Gaaaaah.

Perona Crown - Complete?

It's a bit wobbly but I don't want to jeopardize the ability to remove the headband in case I want photos holding it etc. I gotta wait for the shirt to arrive before I can alter it, but I have started the boot straps and belt buckle in the meantime.

Perona Crown WIP - poof!

Apparently I completely forgot to share this with you all! Crown is essentially in one piece with cross glued on and a velvet poof made to sit inside. I just need to make it wearable. My first attempt failed. XD

Moving Madness

I acquired the keys to my new apartment yesterday and will be moving stuff back and forth for a while. I will do my best to post here when I can. :) Fan signs for August shall be delayed - thank you for your understanding. โค๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ

Perona and Asuka Creations

My very talented friend, FunkSoul's Sessie, made me the perfect vector for Perona's shirt. I'll be altering this one once it arrives. :) Ridiculous sleeve, belly, and bewb action!

I altered some images I found online to make Asuka's buttons. They will probably be a bit bigger than I wanted, but the size options were limited...

Wish me good fortune with the final physical copies!

Level One Props

It's Persona 5 Christmas in here~ New mask, new whip handle, and a GUN! I unfortunately do not have the time now, but I look forward to priming and painting these for the future. The new mask has a wider nose and thus is a bit awkward on the eyes, but it is so LIGHT. I love my Termina mask but it pushes my face down. ๐Ÿ˜ญ This one DOES dig into my cheekbones a little, but I can potentially heat the plastic and reshape it.

Perona Crown WIP

Almost forgot to post this! I did some painting and added the studs! (I ran out of the small ones but I need more for the belt buckle anyway...) I'm really happy with it - hopefully the rest goes smoothly. Still quite a bit left on this and the rest of the outfit. ^^;

Gym Ann Silliness

I didn't realize this photo was out of focus when I took it. T-T I did get other pictures with the burger, but this would have been my favourite. I shall keep it here forever for the memories.

Note: I just released the first half of the Gym Ann pictures - the ones taken on my phone - for Burger Buddies and above! The second half were taken with my camera, and I am very excited to unveil the first set of photos NOT taken with my phone. Coming soon!

Perona Crown WIP & Foam Clay

I am experimenting with a lightweight foam clay to add the trim on Perona's crown. It feels like clay when fresh and is completely moldable. After it dries, however, it feels like spongy foam! Fascinating and SO helpful. I am super clumsy so I keep denting and smudging it ^^; but it has fulfilled its purpose!I am just waiting for the clay to dry (48 hours ;-; eep) before adding the last roll of it on the bottom. Then I can paint it all white and add the studs, fabric, and headband.The clay is by...

Asuka Suit Try-On Pics

Haha... I couldn't resist posting this photo with the album. "I really had to diet to fit it. Now I look like a Dali painting." Click here for the photos! ...

Perona Crown WIP

After a decade (approx.) of blasting it with my roommate's heat gun, I have forced Perona's crown to stay in the shape I wanted. Currently parts are held together with tape because the process was... not fun. ^^; But progress is progress. I am glad I managed to do that much before my trip this weekend. What is left: add the white trim, studs, black fabric inside, and attach a headband. My baaaaack... ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Asuka Morph Suit Sneakpeek!

(Ass-uka) I'll be sharing more photos with Burger Buddies and above, and as I mentioned, I have a video planned for Cheesecake Chums! :) This is really fun to wear! Thank you for helping me finally pick one out... ^^; (I added the hearts because I forgot to move my shoeliners out of the way lol...)

IVR Photo - 3 New Ann Albums

So excited to be releasing THREE new Persona albums for Cheesecake Chums and above, starting with casual Ann today. New Panther and DSN (dance) Ann photos to come! I also shared a video yesterday for that tier. ^^ Planning on putting out videos more often in the coming months! I'm planning a 360ยฐ Asuka morph suit video (complete with squats) and a show-and-tell with my vast wig collection. xD Stay tuned~ โค

Perona Crown WIP

Okay so my crown's shape got a little straighter than I intended up hoping to fix that when I add the white trim... The crown isn't uneven - it's just difficult to hold it down until I create a support in the middle. ^^; Also enjoy my dorky paper template for the crossbones. XD

Ann Ai-kon Shoots Sneak Peek!

Ivan of IVR has outdone himself! I cannot believe this is me... I felt kinda silly getting professional studio photos done in this oh-so casual outfit but it was so WORTH it!!! More to come~

Here's a selfie from my phone to tide you over until I can edit the photos. :3 Looks like her Phantom Thief senses are tingling! When you stretchin' but you sense an adult with corrupt desires...

Fansign Delays

My apologies, everyone! Not only did I take a long time to take the sign photos, I did an iffy job! ๐Ÿ˜ฅ I was outside which led to some unforeseen picture-ruining - overexposure on the signs and unexpected objects in the backgrounds and general inconsistency... I will touch them up to the best of my ability, but that only means further delays. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Argh! The combination of bright sunlight and my bleary eye contacts made it tricky to see my screen sometimes, so I thought they were okay. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ ...

LevelOneChan Props

I truly am blessed by the cosplay gods...

I entered LevelOneChan's contest on Instagram for a chance to win props. I had always admired the mask and gun in the Etsy shop. I had almost forgotten about it because we had to wait for winners to be drawn once the account hit 10k followers...

Then I logged into Instagram one day and... SURPRISE! I was the third place winner! At first I didn't expect anything ama...

Perona WIP - Triumphant Return!

Big enough for ya? I will probably make the strips fatter at the middle, but I am just about ready to cut this from the thick foam! Just gotta figure out the cross at the top. I can't WAIT to add an extra 15 inches or so to my height. :') RIP walking through doors normally.

Asuka wins! But fear not...

I will possibly get Samus later, as one fan is extremely passionate about seeing me cosplay her and offered to fund part of it! <3 So if you were a bigger fan of Samus, you can look forward to her in the future.

I am very excited to order Asuka. I have a friend who is interested in cosplaying Rei, so hopefully we can organize some fun duo shots for later this year!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote - this is the first time I have heard from all patrons in the poll tiers....

Asuka?!

Things are pretty neck-in-neck in the polls, but I just remembered I own a hat just like Asuka's! I am kind of leaning towards her because she has multiple outfits for me to try out with her wig, whereas I think Samus only really has her suit (or full-on armour and no thanks... not making that!).

That and Asuka would be a fun personality to bring out in photos. :)

Also I have a weakness for red, if you haven't noticed.... (I am aware that there is a red/pink option for Samus, but then it...

Morph Suit Poll!

Here we go... Now that I pooled everyone's responses, public and private, to my morph suit post from before... do I choose Zero Suit Samus? Or  Asuka Langley Soryu?

Asuka has a second version here, but we can worry ...

Humble Beginnings

Just a reminder that all cosplayers start somewhere. I really must revisit Misha from Pita-Ten one day. This was the first manga series (I own the anime but have yet to watch it) that made me cry, and I am generally a heartless robot, so she deserves it. T-T

Brandon Gilbert Suit Madness

Okay, okay. I know I saved up enough to make a morph suit ages ago, but I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND!!!

Please go here and see the designs I am drooling over, and then comment below with your faves. <3 Regrettably, Brandon had to remove many designs due to copyright issues.

But look at that glorious Samus booty up there!!!

Rise Wig Selfies

I still need to style the bangs and acquire the pigtails... but I couldn't resist trying on the base wig now that I have a Rise cosplan! I love this colour~ She has a few orange outfits, so I figured my orange pjs suited her and didn't bother changing. ๐Ÿงก
