THE LILI COSTUME!! 💖👊
Added 2023-07-25 04:53:27 +0000 UTCI’m back from SDCC!! (Kinda sorta anyways, I’ll be in Cali for a bit before I head back home to Vegas 😅)
But oh man, what I wonderful time I had being the offical Lili cosplayer at the Tekken 8 experience!! 🥹💕 And this was just PART ONE!! I’ll be traveling to a lot of different cons and events this year to help promote the event, but I’ll talk more about that later 👍
Lil was definitely a collaborative effort: I was notified about the project pretty last minute and only has about 5 days to put it together 😵💫 My trusty 3D modeler Spearmaster designed the small details for me, FD Cosplay Studio made the boots, and UmbraWigs made this GORGEOUS Lili wig that I had the honor of wearing atop my head 😩💕 So thankfully all I had to worry about was the sewing, I literally could not have done this without them 😭
Speaking of the sewing, it was friggin DIFFICULT!! 🫨 Everything had to be patterned from scratch, and mixing and matching the right shades and fabrics to look cohesive made me wanna tear my hair out 😫 But I managed!! And I think I nailed it honestly~
This is definitely not a character I would have ever picked for myself, it’s not really my style 😅 But I enjoyed the challenge and got a TON of compliments on my craftsmanship from a bunch of other pros I had the pleasure of working with, I wanted to cry… 🥲😭😭❤️
I’ll share some photos and talk about the trip more later, I gotta take my mum out to go see the Barbie movie rn (2nd time for me 🤣✌️)
