Before & After: a simpler Holiday Jester edit!

In sharp contrast to the composite before & after I posted two weeks ago, most of the holiday Jester stills I shot were edited in a much simpler style! Here's how this look was achieved:

Tutorial: Jester's accent!

I've had a lot of requests for this video!! It's kind of hard to explain how I do an accent because I've always been a bit of a mimic — it's hard to put that into words! But I tried to identify some specific vowels and sounds to work on in order to develop this accent. Hope it's helpful!

Margaery polaroid sneak peek!

I shot some Margaery Tyrell polaroids today for November mailed rewards (and some digital photos, too — coming soon!) Mailed rewards for both November and December are on track to go out today.

Thank you for a year of support!!

Holy crap... we're coming up on the end of my third year on Patreon, which almost doesn't feel real! I just wanted to thank you guys — whether you've been pledged for all three years or for just three days — for your support! I know I say it a lot, but I couldn't be doing this without you. Yo...

Winter Jester Polaroids!

Just wanted to give you guys a sneak peek at the winter Jester polaroids going out to di20 Patrons and up next week!

Jesters, Jesters...

In case you didn't see it: Merry Critmas! I couldn’t resist throwing a Jester-themed spin on a song from one of my favorite holiday movies, “White Christmas.” I danced opposite… uh, myself… for this parody of “Sisters”!

That adorable holiday Jester costume was designed by the ...

Ho ho ho, Merry Jester-mas!

Just wanted to show you guys a few of the stills I've edited from my holiday Jester shoot! (You know I can't resist a good bokeh overlay!)

And then I put together this one for the music video thumb...

"Jesters" Filming is a Wrap!

PHEW, what a day! I woke up at 6:30am like a crazy person and headed over to my parents' to film "Jesters" today, as well as shoot some stills and polaroids of the holiday Jester costume! It was my first time putting on the whole thing with the full makeup. We spent about two hours teari...

"Jesters" mp3!

OH MAN! I'm kind of nervous to share this!! Most of my songs are so serious, and this is by far the silliest thing I've done yet. We did so many takes of this song purely because every take, I got a little more ridiculous... and we ended up using the last, most ridiculous take for every single li...

Holiday Jester WIP pt. 2 — She's DONE!

I spent all day today sewing, and I just put the finishing touches on the holiday Jester costume! (Well... there are always some caveats; I want to make some quick little hair clips tomorrow, and I would like to restyle the wig. But it's basically done!)

December livestream!

This month’s patron exclusive livestream is in about 15 minutes! See you there — and this link will work to watch it back afterwards, too, in case you miss it!

EDIT: I hecked up! Apparently streams scheduled on mobile have to also be streamed on mobile? Anyway, there's a ...

Save the Date: December Livestream!

The December livestream will be Saturday, Dec 15 at 11:00am MT! There was some talk about doing a later evening time to accommodate international folks, and unfortunately that isn't going to work out for me ...

Holiday Jester Progress!

Spent all day yesterday working on holiday Jester's skirt! I know it looks simple, but that's 4 different trims on the hem — that stuff takes way longer than you'd think! (And, let's be honest, way longer than I ever plan for...)

Wonder Woman makeup test!

Filmed a sponsored wig video the other day and in it, I tried out makeup for Wonder Woman!

This isn't a look I thought would suit me — I'm aiming for Gal Gadot's Diana, and my face is the opposite of he...

⚡️ Special Offer! ⚡️

I've been hinting at a special holiday cosplay, and it's time to let the tiefling out of the bag: I'm making a holiday Jester cosplay, designed by the amazing ToughTink!

November Wallpapers!

You can now download your November wallpapers right here!

I chose three of the pin-ups to feature (Melisandre, Daenerys, and Ygritte.) Those of you who pre-ordered the calendar will be receiv...

Some pin-up before & afters!

Just wanted to share a few of the before & afters from the Game of Thrones pin-ups for my calendar! Some of them (like Ygritte, above) were essentially full composites, while others (like Daenerys, below) were more like touch-ups!

GOSH! Hello, everyone!

Phew, I posted 6 reasons to pledge to your favorite creator's Patreon mostly in preparation for a seasonal Special Offer I'm launching next week — if I'd have known it was gonna bring in a dozen or so brand new Pat...

....OH. [November reward theme]

I somehow didn't realize that I hadn't done a month of rewards themed around my calendar yet? WOW. I was starting to stress about whether or not I'd be able to get my Christmas cosplay done unless I start it right now so this is actually perfect — I'm still going to do femme!Caleb, but no...

It's that time again: Time to vote on when to have the December Patron-only stream! Quick reminder that all times are in Mountain Time, and that you need a YouTube account to participate in stream chat.

November's Cosplay!

I realize it's now December, (H O W) but since I was working on so much Jester stuff in November, I didn't manage to complete a new cosplay to center all the rewards around! So for November's rewards, I'm putting together a quick femme!Caleb (also from Critical Role... sorry guys, I warned ...

Social Media Break!

Hey friends! Those of you who have been attending/watching my monthly livestreams know that I've been flirting with burnout for a few months now, and I've been trying to figure out the best way to take a short break away from social media to get my head on straight again — sort of a creative "hard...

Want to leave a testimonial?

HELLO! I feel kind of weird asking this, and feel free to ignore it, but just in case you have something to say... I made a little form for Patron testimonials!

I'm about to launch a special offer (Dec 1! More info soon!) that will hopefully bring some more Patrons in, and I'd love to be able to t...
