I always love your cosplays and the effort you put into making them. Was really proud of you when you won that award in 2020(?) too.

Didn't get to speak with you much this weekend (besides discussing the logistics of you walking through doors, I guess), but your Chocolina was fantastic!


I'm hoping this thread is intended in a way so that people can comment as well as post their own. Reason being, I don't have any of my own to share. Never cosplayed in my life, unless you count turning up to a god-themed party dressed as Dionysus, but that's a story for another day, I think.

Yeah im hoping others post their own too and hopefully open discussion for WIP and tips etc, it's been a learning curve for sure since i first did Siren, I'm hoping one day to redo Siren and Ultimecia now ive learned some stuff! Ultimecia especially as i have new ideas



And thank you!

Your cosplays are always so crafty. Love the pics!

This are awesome! You stealth edited in some more without me noticing! Lmao, your Alexandrian knight made me giggle, but they're all awesome! I really love your Ultima, it's really cool!

These are fantastic. I love dressing up in costume but I've never made my own (or been to a con of any kind though I want to). How long did it take to get that blue paint off for Ultima? Also, did you have trouble getting through doors with Ultimecia? That headpiece is massive (but incredible).

Doors and just getting about in general were a problem for ultima, Ultimecia and chocolina lol. I seem to like to make cosplays where i have to do the crab to get about anywhere haha. Chocolina was probably the least practical having no hands, even sitting was a challenge as the skirt was made from foam







My next plan is gunna be Impractical As well

I can see why Chocolina would be a favorite—she’s such a fun and unique character to cosplay! I’ve only done a few cosplays myself, but one of my favorites was a character from an anime I love.

I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just want to ask—has anyone tried making armor pieces recently? I’ve been thinking about using EVA foam for a FFXIV Dragoon look, but I’m stuck on how to shape the chestplate. Got tips or good tutorials for that? Would love to see what folks are working on lately too, if anyone’s got progress pics!
