I was sketching Agott over the weekend and it ended up turning into a full blown design artwork of her. I relate to Agott quite a bit, so I’ve been enjoying drawing her 💜 #witchhatatelier #agott #animeart #artwip

New photos of Luluci from Otakon! Flowy chiffon costumes are one of my cosplay weaknesses, so I loved her apprentice artwork the moment I saw it. It’s a comfier costume with princess vibes, so it’s now one of my new favorites to wear. #witchhatatelier #luluci #cosplay 📷: focus_button (IG)

I am going to -try- to have Luluci for AX purely because I need a comfy Sunday costume and I found a base dress I can add accessories to. I could wear Belle, but I am a little tired of it. Started with her hat last night. #witchhatatelier #cosplaywip

Working on making a Terra cosplay for Anime Expo! Gradient dyed her cape today. Thinking I’ll use dye-na-flow on wet chiffon to get the watercolor look of the flowers on her cape. #terra #finalfantasy #cosplaywip #cosplay

Doing some puff vinyl tests for Frieren. This stuff is more involved than other vinyl, but I think I understand enough to move on to an actual design.

Making some Shinobu upgrades. Need to make the pattern before I cut the pieces. I originally wanted an embroidered zori look, but had to paint my base sandals for Katsucrunch 😅 #cosplaywip #cosplayprogress

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder

Transferable cosplay skills: show this to your parents if they say “cosplay is a waste of time” 😉 What have you learned through cosplay? 🤔 #cosplay #cosplayer #wip

Transferable cosplay skills: How cosplay helps in everyday life

Public speaking
Whether it’s performing or running panels, cosplay can help hone your public speaking skills! Public speaking is enormously helpful in many jobs, for example: teaching, communications and leadership.

Problem-solving
Cosplayers are masters of novel approaches— we make weird stuff from actual garbage. This innovation translates into work spaces, daily life and even situations where you may have to McGuyver a tool together.

Organization and time management
Cosplays are huge projects and can take months of work— getting a project done from start to finish requires planning and dedication. Learning how to organize your cosplay projects can help you organize other life tasks.

5. My most expensive cosplay: Rosalina as designed by @dessidesu.bsky.social I don't track the exact costs of my costumes, but I'm sure that between the amount of materials used and buying them on a deadline, it's bound to be the most expensive (Photo: @elementalsight.bsky.social 2022) #costober

Cosplay of Rosalina from the Mario Galaxy games, but an original design in a teal-green, with long layered skirts lined in a celestial print, drapey sleeves and cape, applique stars all over the bodice in holo silver and teal, silver crown surrounded by tiny cabochon stars.

I've always been bad at cosplaying well-known designs or characters, but it's mostly because I'm attracted to designs that look cool and fun to make over popular characters. It's the love of the craft for me! 📸 by @amiephotos.bsky.social Design by @dessidesu.bsky.social

I understand the hate behind ai, I'm not shy about it myself neither. That said, a ".ai" file is not ai, that's adobe illustrator: a vector-based art program. Please pass it on for people. I've seen multiple witch-hunts start up, which causes grief and embarrassment for both accuser and accused.
