Cosplay guests at conventions

Cosplay guests at conventions

Ok, so this isn't a topic that I'm exactly the best to talk about, but it's still something I just want to share my thoughts on. I've guested a few conventions, and I've got friends who are invited to guest as well, and there's a thing I've noticed that really bugs...

Conventions 2018 – part 2

About time I give another convention status, eh? Second half of my year flew by and brought a lot of events with it - I'm almost happy Hydracon was cancelled, or I would have had 4 weekends in a row with conventions! Gamescom 2018  Gamescom is one of my highlights of...

Conventions of 2017 – part 1

I just realized I haven't made a con post since last year's Dreamhack in Leipzig. Woups! I went to quite a lot of conventions last year, all of them awesome! I figured I'd try to summarize the highlights and lowlights of the events I went to last year after Dreamhack....

Review: Saal Digital photo book

Review: Saal Digital photo book

A while back, I was offered to be a tester of Saal Digital's photo book. I've been wanting to make a new photo album or similar to bring to conventions where I have a booth, so I could showcase my cosplays, so this was a great opportunity! The book arrived about a...

The importance of good materials

The importance of good materials

I've been posting about this on my social media accounts, but I haven't really written much about it here. But I thought it's about time. I made a dream cosplay in the form of the Dreamwalker (tier 3) set for my druid. It's my most complicated cosplay ever, with...

Dreamwalker: The biggest project yet!

Dreamwalker: The biggest project yet!

I realised a dream and did another druid cosplay! It took me half a year to make it and a lot, lot of hours. Today, I finally got around to making a walk-through of how I created the whole cosplay, so click the buttons below to visit the walk-through and see the...

New cosplay: Cammy White!

New cosplay: Cammy White!

For years, doing a cosplay of Cammy White from Street Fighter has been something I really wanted to do. I just never had the courage. I was afraid I wouldn't look good in it or that people would call me a slut for wearing something so revealing. I first had the idea...

I went to Dreamhack Leipzig this weekend with my group, The Warcrafters. We were invited by the organizers to take part with our Darkmoon Faire, and boy, was it a great experience! For the past few months, I have been in a creative vacuum with absolutely no...

Cosplay stress!

Cosplay stress!

Cosplay stress is one of those things that seems kind of stupid. Why are we stressing over something that should be a fun, creative hobby - something that should be us letting our minds and hands roam free and creating beautiful things from weird materials.? But...

Dragons!

Dragons!

Updated the webpage a little bit - finally replaced the kind of old boxes on the front page and added Ysera & Nozdormu gallery! Slowly making progress on Princess Peach, Daisy and Bowser, but still a lot to do and little time to do it - like always! Anyways,...

Of Murlocs and more…

Last weekend, I went to Copenhagen Comic Con. This was the first year of Comic Con in Denmark, and there's a lot of different opinions about it. For me, it was a mostly positive experience. For me, cons are mostly about cosplay - at least, it's one of my main reasons...

Gamescom stress

Gamescom stress

I usually never put unrealistic deadlines on my costumes. The reason is that I did that once. I planned to make Ysera in a very short time - she was the 2nd cosplay I ever made, and it was a very unrealistic time frame i made for her. As a result, I didn't sleep for...

Shop review: Stoff4you.de

I do reviews very rarely. But stoff4you is just one of those shops... I have a love/hate relationship with it. I have purchased from it 4 times now. The first time (3 years ago) was a mixed experience. A friend and I bought two colours of pleather and some gold/silver...
