I've done a ton of research and gathered a bunch of materials, but it wasn't until yesterday that I actually, physically started on Chell. The election results really messed me up, honestly, and I have been having a bit of a rough time re-focusing.
In any case, I'm on the job now! I'm more than a ...

Okay, your votes have been tallied, and Chell won just by a hair!! Looks like I'll be doing Elizabeth another time, though, because a lot of you were really interested in that one!

I feel it is only fair to tell you guys that I am very rapidly becoming completely obsessed with the new HBO sci-fi show, Westworld.

Stephen was kind enough to remind me that I hadn't updated you guys on the results of the calendar poll yet, and that in turn reminded me that I have a bunch of new Patrons who might want to also vote on what cosplays I include in my 12-month calendar!
So if anyone hasn't voted yet and wants to we...

Just finished editing another photo — this one might be my favorite, personally! <3 Getting excited (and nervous) about music video release. Just under a week now! AHH!

I sent out the first three finished Sally photos last night! Check your email inbox to see them all in high-resolution glory.

Photobooth troubles mean I'm going to have to nix that reward and replace it with something else. :( If anyone has any bright ideas, please don't hesitate to suggest!
I could always print my own photobooth strips, but that sort of misses the point of the charm of having a one-of-a-kind, real photo...

Don't look at my makeup-less face, haha. I shot these real quick because I bought WAY too much fabric and decided to make 4 identical dresses (it took longer than making one, but definitely not four times as long) to sell on Etsy! So I took these pictures for the listing page.
Obviously I still ha...

One of the things folks suggested when I revamped my Patreon was to share my YouTube videos and blogs when they're posted, to make it easy for Patrons to keep up with them!
So here's my most recent video, dedicated to growing my Patreon enough to do more regular music videos!

As usual, I thought I had given myself enough time and I TOTALLY HADN'T, so I need to basically get Sally done in the next week-ish. AHHH. 😬 Luckily, the process should be petty straightforward. Unluckily, it's going to be very time consuming. I have to hand paint patterns onto at least half th...

So for my cover of Sally's Song, I'm not just doing a direct movie recreation like I have favored in the past. Instead, I want to bring something new to the song, and create a music video that references but also goes beyond the original source material.
To achieve that, I'll be dressed as Sally f...

As much as I love doing Halloween-themed cosplays during October, I've never tackled Sally because I have a deep, abiding aversion to face paint. BUT... I'm gonna get over it. But wait, there's more!
