Okay lemme start by saying that this is no where near finished! It kinda looks like crap in comparison to what I'm envisioning :P
So for Maleficent I'm mostly using foam and wood-carving details into it. My friend Marty used this technique and gets amaaaaazing results like this:

This shoot was a dream come true. I had a vision, and Regina helped make it happen! Collaborating with photographers can sometimes be a challenge due to artistic differences, but with the prompts 'Sexy Housewife' 'Spoof Boudoir' and 'Lazy Morning Coffee' Regina got me exactly what I had envisione...
2017-02-06 17:55:19 +0000 UTC View PostOh man. I was soooooo nervous for this shoot. I have this notoriously bad luck with shoots that I get kicked out of EVERYWHERE. You know the whole 'ask forgiveness, not permission' thing photographers sometimes have? Yeah, doesn't work for me. I've gotten kicked out of places I had permits for an...

Sooooooo I made a Fem Ignis from FFXV and although it started out as a normal shoot with a full costume (photos soon!) , it divulged to lingerie and Cup Noodles rather quickly XD
These are just sneak peeks that Regina sent me so ill have actual high res images soon!!

Man am I excited to finally show you this project! Back in September I had the pleasure of going with Kairu Photography to ACTUAL ALCATRAZ in San Francisco to shoot my Injustice Harley Quinn! We did this shoot for his upcoming photography book about Cosplay in San Francisco which he has a Kicksta...

This was my favorite part of Prompto! The patches! Maybe it's because I love detail so much, or maybe because it was a unique use of my sewing skills =3
I have an embroidery machine but never learned how to use it, so I made my ownpatches without it (plus designing all these patterns with...
Most of my creations start with a rough sketch just to get the flow of color figured out! Lingerie is no different :) Because of what I have envisioned, I'm going to have to make a majority of this all myself! When I was in high school I desperately wanted to go to college for fashion design so I...
2017-01-31 03:58:49 +0000 UTC View PostMAN! The lighting in my new loft is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. This is me right now just with the night lighting and it's like UGH. And during the day it's just pure natural light. I think I'm gonna set up a wall for studio-style shoots!
If you're waiting on past (November or December) Patreon r...
OH MY GOSH I'M FINALLY IN LOS ANGELES and my brain is less mush! The trip two exta days than we expected, due to getting stuck in an ice storm in Kansas, but we're hear, and alive, and now I have internet,so I can post again! If you missed out on my roadtrip, photos are still up on instagram, and...

We're a fraction of the way through our road trip to Los Angeles!! My whole life is stuffed in my car and I'm traveling across the Midwest in a wig, makeup and cosplay as Prompto from FFXV. And I couldn't be happier :) I'm so ridiculously excited for this chapter in my live. It's been my dream to...

Handmade patches, bleaching, riveting, painting... So much work, and yet it will probably never show in photos :P worth it though! Can't wait to show you the finished Prompto and talk about how I made pretty much the entire costume in a single evening!

2017 is a fresh start. A new year. And I gotta say, a lot of wonderful changes! I'm moving across the country this month to Sunny California, which will mean a lot of awesome things for both you and me!
I think my biggest resolution for this year, starting RIGHT NOW, is to dedicate all my ...
More Cindy <3 Getting prepped for quite a few shoots in the next few weeks! With my move to LA coming up on the 13th of January, all the local photographers want to shoot before I leave! So yay! :D

I had a lot of fun last Friday with Regina of MaelDesign shooting my Viking Elsa!
It's hard to get the snow to cooperate, so we toyed with a snow machine and smoke to get the effect we wanted to in her studio! I'm usually an 'on-location' only cosplayer, but in this case, I appreciated NOT...
Although I had two photoshoots prepped for this weekend (one being Witch Mercy at a graveyard!!), it's reach below 0 degrees Fahrenheit here in Minnesota, so going outside almost at all has been....well, inadvisable. So they've been postponed but it gives me more time to make the surprise cosplay...

This is such a common thing I hear. And although it does break my heart when I hear it (sewing is such an amazing artform--you make a pile fabric into something wearable!) it isn't necessary for good cosplay!
Most of my male cosplay friends don't sew. They build armor and fake the sewing wh...

I went from cute to badass in just a few hours :D even in Minnesota, perfectly snowy 'warmer' days like this don't come along often, so I did two photoshoots with Shadowstone Photography! The Christmas Postcards I'll be sending out will be of Cindy asap!
Get ready for an onslaught of photos...

Hope you guys are enjoying your holiday season! Snow was just dumped on us here in MN so it was about time for a holiday shoot! :D Nick and I finished FFXV this past week so Snow Day Cindy seemed like fun!

I was going to make a post about how I made my Witch Mercy, but kinda realized I didn't really use many new techniques to talk about! Like, my sewing was very similar to my Dark Brotherhood costume (which I described in detail in a past post. Today I hope to go through and give everything tags so...
