New Year, Late Updates: Thoughts & 2017 Projects

2016 Cosplays

I've been so wrapped up with the holiday season and cuddle weather that I've gotten pretty late with my 2017 cosplay updates. Last year has been chaotic... and colorful.

Cosplay have always been my outlet so I always make sure to keep this hobby alive no matter how much I struggle for it (it keeps my state of mind peaceful and balanced). Given my circumstances, it's not always easy but thankfully, I once again managed to pull through and learned a lot of things along the way. My costume-making skills definitely upped a level and I'm excited to find out what more I can do this year.

I also finally laid out my cosplay plans for 2017. It's going to be even more challenging but I'm looking forward to get my hands working. My Rin is already in progress and Emerald is due for June. The rest will depend on time and financial resources. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to what I can accomplish this year.

Good vibes, good vibes, :)

Final Shoot of the Year: Setsuka Heel - Skip Beat!

Finally scheduled a little photoshoot with friends last week (12-21-16) before we settle down for the holidays. There were only three of us cosplayers and a photographer and even though it was slightly impromptu, we still managed to secure a good location and everything went by smoothly.

Cosplay Guidepost to Getting Started

The prospect of making your own costume can be overwhelming at first. I know it's not for everybody and it's completely okay if it's not your thing. However, if you decide to give it a try but have no idea where or how to begin, I have written down a highly recommended list that will help you through your journey.

First of all, I made a big mistake of sewing the buttons on the wrong side. I looked at the reference photo and forgot to consider that it was a mirror image. I didn't have enough time and resources to do the entire thing again so I just pushed forward. With that in mind, here's my Asami Sato cosplay worklog and hopefully none would make the same mistake as I did if ever anyone decided to follow through with this. *kicks self*
