KorrAsami @ AsiaPOP Comicon Manila 2018

Taking a little bit of detour from my DIY tutorials series because my scheduling has already been out of whack anyway so might as well write some cosplay life update while I still have a little bit of that post-con high/hangover.

After years of planning and clearing most conflicts out of the way, my friend and I have finally managed to schedule another out-of-town convention trip like we used to do two years ago. This time, we decided to attend AsiaPOP Comicon Manila 2018 Day 2.

Unfortunately, even with months of planning, some things just doesn't go the way we want it to.

Yang Xiao Long Post-Timeskip Prosthetic Arm Prop Worklog / Tutorial

This is my first time making a prosthetic type of prop in cosplay so the entire process is a little bit of a trial and error for me. There are a lot of things I could have changed to make it better but I am still very pleased with how it turned out.

This will be the start of my Yang Xiao Long Post-Timeskip cosplay worklog series. I'll be posting the entire costume worklog soon.

(Part 2 | Complete Worklog)

I also did Yang's first version cosplay. You can check out my complete worklog here.

Materials:

• Pattern paper (or any paper you can use to draw patterns)
• Form-fitting gloves (or you can make one yourself with a black stretch fabric)
• Cling wrap
• Masking/Duct tape
• 2mm Rubber Sheet/Craft foam (we mostly call it rubber sheets here so I'm going with that term)
• Super Glue
• Crack filler/Sealant
• Primer (I used wood glue mixed with water in 1:1/8 glue-water ratio)
• Spray Paint (or whatever you prefer)
• Metallic Gray (I know I used black here which was a mistake. I didn't double check my references when I went buying for materials)
• Yellow
• Velcro
• 0.5 cm elastic garter

Nigatsu Cosplay Café 2018 Happenings & Random Shenanigans

I am running late on my updates. It's been hectic recently that I realized I haven't updated this page for a quite a while. I have three consecutive cosplay projects lined up two of which are already in the works and over halfway done so hopefully this page will be running on tutorials and worklogs again soon.

Last and First Photoshoot of the Year: Yukako Yamagishi - JJBA Diamond is Unbreakable

Due to a flurry of happenings, I'm starting my 2018 a little bit late but I still have big plans for my cosplays this year. For the meantime, I'm starting off this year with something comfy and simple. Yukako Yamagishi from Jojo' Bizarre Adventure Diamond is Unbreakable.

JJBA Yukako Yamagishi Seifuku Worklog/Tutorial

Wrapping up my last cosplay of 2017 with something simple, Yukako Yamagishi from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable.

There should be a lot of seifuku tutorials out there in the internet and I feel like there's a general conventional method in making it but I had a hard time following some of the tutorials I found online. I did find one really helpful seifuku tutorial that served as my starting point. However, it wasn't entirely complete so I used a basic bodice and sleeve tutorial as the main guide. You should really watch those videos first if you want to go through with this tutorial.
