Sword knob

Beautiful gold! Not easy to achieve!

Camping adventure in the kitchen

Canada is just too cold, so we bought a painting tent to paint inside the apartment.

What can I say
We're born different : )

Leather straps

Appreciation post for LZ's beautiful stitching of our handmade leather straps.

I am the one who painted them but she does such a wonderful job stitching them straight.

These are 9S leather straps

We both work so hard, give us a good tap in the back.


Love you ; ) 2023-11-13 05:49:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Come on, Eileen!

Remember that cast we did in a bathtub? There she is!
Finally debuted her on stream yesterday night! Will continue tonight too :3

Eileen is such an amazing Silent Hill 4 character, since I saw her party dress I really wanted to do it! But of course, the more damaged version that we see ...

Le shoes, le done!

One of skills as a cosplayer is making your own thigh high shoes!
But before you have to be a sausage wrapped in plastic foil 😂

Countless hours later ...

Hand stitching is done! Some parts have multiple layers, so my fingers are officially dead. I had to use pliers pretty often to pull needle through the thickness (´×ω×`)


Back to jacket of my Mr. Hacker ! Then I can....do...more...

Aerith photoshoot preview

We did it! Finally flower girl went outside and had a shoot in not only cosplay, but also another outfit! For a special collaboration :> You will see very soon!

We actually went to this place twice - first time, we got stuck in terrible traffic and we were just before sun went down! :&l...

Progress dump!

There was so much done, let's put a first batch!
The hardest part was putting two zippers on shoulder/neck part, to look pretty and not bulky! I've spent more time than I want to admit (￣▽￣*)ゞ

Skirt is two layers - top black and bottom, off white! Full of embroidery and horsehai...

First look at finished robot parts

At the moment Pod is practically finished but here is a sneak peek of some of the pictures I took. Full reveal in few days!
There were probably around 30 separated pieces and more. Some are minuscule. And I was slowly assembling them as I painted them. Because it took so long to put it all tog...

2B sword done!

2B has been a good girl.

9S has been a bad boy.

Some mesh parts!

This took an ungodly amount of time to make, but I love it!!!

LZ 🌸

We keep on keeping on...again!

Lots of happening for us, but we still going strong ✨

Bodysuit is done, except zipper in the back! It's gonna be attached to the top so gotta wait!
It's been a long progress to make the grey parts attached to the white with mesh in between!
For conventions obviously gonna have some...

I did stay until 4 am to finish this.

7 panels of embroidery in! The hardest part is to align it well （x_x；）

Now...the other side....

The other will be redone too
The new material is stronger

We got this!

Painting progress

Base coats on various pieces of Pod are going forward slowly. It's so long because everything is different colors. Buckles and buttons for 9S are already done!

I put them in a dresser so they don't get dusty while they fully cure. It's getting a little cramped in there with Lightning blad...

Yuffie Pauldron

Finished Pauldron for Rhia

Sometimes I believe I am better at making things for others than myself! ; )

- Kuja

Practicing Tsukamaki

I have to practice Tsukamaki for both 9S and 2B katanas. As well as, Kadaj and Sephiroth eventually.

I am a beginner so after a few times, I should get the hang of it, or at least in a presentable manner! This is my first time making one.

Second pic, assembling buckles of 9S which I...

I'm preparing what I need to sand right now on the famous kitchen table.

On the third picture you can see I have no space 💔 There are conta...

We keep on going~ bodysuit

Needed to do a simple pattern to see how much of cut can do without looking silly!
The paper pattern to see design, and made it a little bit smaller after all!

Maybe when power don't go out cause of tornadoes, or the sun is not shining all day long with heat like on desert - 2023-07-14 02:18:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Yesterday night's disaster

As you know I paint at nights because of the heat.
Well, something happened yesterday that I did not see coming. For sure...

Around midnight I went to prime the new sword that I just finished, I was so proudly fast! Added in some other random props just to save some time. All went well,...

Inferno

We have been having heatwaves here in Canada and this whole week was extreme. It even bent my sword! It's now sort of like a whip 💦💦💀

It was probably around 40 Celcius in the painting shed at some point because there is no airflow. Now, I paint in the middle of the night, all my n...

Souba sword

Not final, but I just modeled this complicated sword sheath for Kadaj's double blade katana.

The references are attrocious to say the least

I'm on fire I swear!

- Kuja

Remake accurate Buster Sword Final

Modeling may be fun but planning and preparing for printing is probably the most tedious part.

I just finished preparing it. Soon will be available to download here. : )
