My biggest challenge in crafting cosplay
It was the year 2015 when my cosband decided to make a perfect cosplay on, suddenly, the card game Magic the Gathering. We chose planeswalkers because this setting has a lot of characters, but only planeswalkers are more popular and well-known than others.
We met at a café to decide which characters we would choose to participate in the big event in another big city. My friend made a great choice, beautiful Lera picked up terrifying Elesh Norn, very tall Albert decided to make furry Goldmane Ajani, and the lightest Lin chose the heaviest Chandra. But I decided to make my dream come true and craft a dragon. So my choice was Dragon-God, Nicol Bolas.
When I mentioned my decision, one friend answered, Really? You will never make a huge dragon, with your height, your Bolas will look like a silly Pokémon. Ha! I said, "You don’t have any idea what I can create!" After this, I understood that I had embarked on quite an adventure. This was this challenge!
I had only three months to create this monster. Almost the whole costume I made myself, but when I realized I ran the risk of being late, I started to ask for help from family and friends. My husband helped me with sanitary pipes to make the wings base, my mom worked as a model; and when I tried to make this creature more proportional, my friends assisted with armor and painting wings. I finished the costume at night, with just 4 hours left before my train took off to the big city.
We ordered this taxi, arrived at this station, met with our friends, and didn't get on the train! My costume was too big to take on this train. My friends left without us. So we decided to buy other tickets for us and a ticket for a special place in the luggage compartment for the dragon four hours later. It was an emotional challenge, I realized that my creature required special attention everywhere, even with transportation. It is just this dragon's doom, I calmed myself down.
When we arrived at the next train one hour before departure. This new train master said, "We can’t accommodate the dragon because this costume is too big for this luggage compartment". This was contrary to what was said by staff at the station and this previous train director. It is just this dragon's doom, I was repeating in my head. This Dragon-God is just testing me. We ended up just buying a third ticket, and my little monster rode like a king in his own seat.
After an exhausting 3-month journey, I finally reached this contest. And here I am. This music is playing. I’m ready. My friends are going to the stage one by one, and each time this roar of this crowd becomes louder and louder. I make the first step on the spot and hear this woman's heartbreaking scream. This is it. I’m This Monster! I am the mind-ripper, the deathbringer, the winged dark that terrifies your dreams. I AM THIS DRAGON!
Of course, we won the Grand-pri in this contest. It was the Sony PlayStation II, but the brilliant thing I've won is the passed challenge. I crafted it, we brought it to the contest, and together we made the coolest group cosplay from MTG. And I’ve created the biggest mowing dragon cosplay in Siberia and possibly in all of Russia.

hiiiii haven't posted for long but really wanted to share: im finally done with my very first group cosplay project!!!! the babygirl of choice is pretty boy Shi Mei from erha (had to actually drag myself through the novel after leaving it last summer)
big shoutout to everyone in the cosband for being super nice and supportive!!
(gonna post some sewing process/backstage & links to a video from convention live below)
soooo it all started somewhere around oct 2022 but I couldn't begin sewing at the time because of. you know. the job . thankfully, I had plenty of time and an industrial sewing machine!!
the design was based on three(3) images two of which are official arts from mobile game and a fanart
guess the hardest part was the embroidery, although it could've been done faster if I wasn't procrastinating too much......
(honestly I was really nervous and afraid something would go wrong but in fact everything was smooth & well done)
the live recording is on YouTube, but it's a whole nomination (ours begins around 2 mins):

There are so many cosplayers today, I guess there's a festival somewhere in the city. Oh my god, it hurts 😭 I've been doing cosplay for so many years, but since I no longer live in the country I can't even see my cosband, and doing it alone is just... not the same. But simply seeing all those people in costumes and wigs, laughing, having fun...
Gonna go cry somewhere in the corner.
