kumoricon is over!! we tabled, we sold, we made art, we somehow made the exact right amount of stuff. thank you for coming by if you were able and/or checking out my work & cosplays!
Marianne (and Hilda @/toopsy) was a hit and also the dorohedoro fans I met were so cool and amazing!! I sold way more of my woodblock prints than I had expected and that was amazing, I'll definitely be getting back into printmaking more.
my leftover stock should be on my online store by dec 1st, so please check that out when available!!
Happy birthday to Petra Macneary my beloved💜 She's the reason I finally got into Fire Emblem XD
I love cosplaying her but lace front wigs are so hard to manage!

Please also have some solo pics of the New and Improved Ingrid Cosplay (I upgraded the materials in the tunic and the fur collar and added Luin since I last posted this costume) cuz we got some good shots at the Rennaissance Faire.
(Costume creator and model both myself, @isan0rt Please also see the prior post for shots with Ashe!)
Happy birthday, Felix!! 🎉 I debuted my Student Felix cosplay at Katsucon this past weekend and I'm so proud of how he came out!! It's been ages since I made and wore a cosplay and I had a great time talking to people about the best sword boy, even if I'm terrible at looking grumpy.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Fire Emblem: Three Houses!
The Fire Emblem game that finally convinced me to get into FE 😂
I was a big Suikoden V fan when Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn came out for the Wii and I was about to get it, but people on forums were like "If you're a Suikoden fan only, you won't enjoy FE because of PERMADEATH and it's REALLY HARD" so I swore them off for over a decade (the irony that I got really into Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn down the road though and I cosplay Ena XD).
Fast forward to 2019 when Three Houses was coming out and I got to work with Faye Mata at a convention I was graphic designer for. Her character Petra was so intriguing to me so I ended up binge watching all three routes of the game. I had bought a Timeskip Petra outfit on AliExpress, but due to COVID, it was questionable when I was going to receive it. I got a refund and then sent my friend MagicalAni the funds to help me with the sewing and beading. I did the wig dying and styling, armor work, sword modding, and all the other accessories besides the beading. I also created her tattoos in Illustrator and printed them out on tattoo paper.
I ended up getting her school uniform on Miccostumes as well. For that version of her hair, I just braid the wig and call it a day. No separate wig necessary (except the dye does run a bit on the blouse if it's too hot; but that's easily editable if it gets too bad).
I've been so lucky to be a part of a few FE3H photoshoots over the years. I am still trying to find a Dorothea to take photos with though!
