Got my official Blizzcon photos back today! I didn't get many pics throughout the day, so I'm really grateful for these. I'm in love with how vibrant the colours look!

Lyssabel Dawnpetal, housing steward of Azeroth. A night elf dressed in red armour with gold detailing, and a blue skirt with large teal laves on it. She holds a book bound in bark, with leaves growing from it, and writes in it with a blue feather quill pen.

The look you’re gonna get if you ask how to get your HOA fees refunded! Lyssabel Dawnpetal, made 100% by hand, by me, walked the stage at Blizzcon this weekend. Made it to the in-person judging, but didn’t place.

A person dressed as Lyssabel Dawnpetal from World of Warcraft. She is wearing red and gold leather armor, with a blue skirt decorated with leaves. On her hip, a book with a bark-like cover hangs from a belt.

Been silent about my Blizzcon build, because my initial plans fell apart. Literally. So, in panic mode, I bought different fabrics, and sewed like crazy to make the 80% check in deadline (2 weeks ago). Seems like it was worth it, as I learned today I’ve made the cut for the in-person judging!

A mannequin dressed in a partial costume for Lyssabel Dawnpetal. The mannequin wears a deep blue skirt with large teal leaves around the hem, a white shirt, and a red leather armour set (hip and waist pieces, armguards and a tunic) all heavily embellished with gold trim. In this picture, there are also black shoulder pieces, that are the bases for how the shoulders will look in the end (matching red and gold, with some twig and leaf details).

When even the quote bots get how we're feeling. (To be clear, while I'm mildly happy that we're getting ANY kind of announcement from Infold, what we got is very much NOT what I was hoping for. I'd like to hope that this is "testing the waters" and a sign we're getting back to normal, but ... eh)

Two quotes.
First, from Rafayel - "Can we throw it into the garbage?"
Second, from Xavier - "Do U know hot to fil a complaint against a store employee?"

Oh boy, did I ever have a massive failure with Lyssabel’s armour parts. Just did not come out how I wanted. So, with time ticking to the 80% check in, I’m starting over using different fabrics, and the new version brings me joy. Also, been piecing her skirt together, and these colours are 🤌

A red faux leather armguard with swirly gold details seen on to it. Some partial weathering is visible, it’s a test piece, so I’ve been messing around with it.

A section of a skirt, made from deep midnight blue silk, accented with large leafy pieces in a vibrant teal along the hem. This is just basted together, and needs decorative stitching around the edges.

730 days together. Two years of getting to know these characters, and spending time with each of them. This game has meant so much to me. Still does, despite the current mess.

100% with all (current) LIs. This was my big goal ahead of Valko’s release. It was supposed to feel like a shining moment, as I eagerly awaited the arrival of my wolf, and the collection process started again. Instead … (see last image for mood)

Assembling arm guards for Lyssabel, and it’s feeling less like Azeroth’s Favourite Realtor, and more like Wonder Woman vibes! (That gold is REALLY shiny)

Pieces of an arm guard to be assembled and sewn together. The base piece is a bright red, with shiny gold trim pieces laid on top. Also visible are reels of thread in red, yellow and white.

It’s done! Unless I feel the need to try and stock up on any of the variants seeds, I will be yeeting the hybridizer for the time being.

Sending out a pspsps! I was expecting one box, one display base with 2 statues. Apparently, I have two full displays here. One of these is NDZ Sylus, the other is ... less clothed. (I'll add more pics as I unbox them) @sylusgoddess.bsky.social @phazonfairy.bsky.social #Sylus #LoveandDeepspace

Missing this mini game already. But, before it left us, I did manage to beat my previous high score!

Haven't been making a whole lot of cosplay posts recently, (short version, life threw some struggles at me) but I'm finally getting that motivation back, and even felt brave enough to do this ...

Pulling for banners in #LoveandDeepspace is always a mix of luck. And then there's this current banner. Did I pull? Yes. Did I get the cards I wanted? Also yes. Eventually. Did I go to pity? Either to it, or close to it. A lot. Did I spend money on it? Yeah, some. Nothing hugely unusual so far.

Decided to paint my 30% sized test print of the Fiend Reaper. 10cm (4”) plush Dragon Sylus for scale. Also thought it would be funny to display it on my Dragon Sylus statue 🤭 #Sylus #DragonSylus #LoveandDeepspace

A 30% sized version of Fiend Reaper, 3D printed and painted with acrylic paints. 10cm / 4” plush Dragon Sylus doll for scale. It’s about 1/3 of the size of the sword.

Yeah, the controller is a prank. But if anyone at CD Projekt Red might consider making / selling that thing as a plushie, I'm pretty confident there'd be a market for it. Just sayin'

This lovely thing showed up on my doorstep, so let’s do a little unboxing thread for my #Sylus / #DragonSylus peeps! The box itself is gorgeous! (10cm Lil Sy plush for scale) ( @sylusgoddess.bsky.social I KNOW you’re gonna want to see this, also @phazonfairy.bsky.social for sure

The teeniest Fiend Reaper! Ok, maybe not teeniest, but a 30% size test print to check for issues before I go full scale. Not slaying any dragons with this one, maybe he can use it to trim his nails 🤭

Loads into LaDs house. Aww, Rafayel wants to do something, how cute! I go to click on the couch so we can snuggle, but I’m already too late … the siren song of the bathtub got him after all! (Yes, this isn’t my usual MC, this is a second account) #Rafayel #LoveandDeepspace

Con prep when all I want to do is pack two of my "easy to wear" costumes is still: 1: "Quick" repairs, that I had forgotten about. 2: Which thing (usually shoes or foundation garments) go with this? 2.5: Where the heck are they?? 3: I could make a new prop for this. 2 days? Yeah, I got time.

He wanted to watch the fireworks. Then he wanted to warm up by the fire. I forgot I’d placed a fireplace in my garden, so I guess we get to do both at once! Happy Chinese New Year!

At this rate, only Caleb is going to be allowed to keep his wardrobe privileges. And yes, I know the RNG favours these because they are the only neck / hand items I have, but still, they could show a LITTLE less.

The window between their pods was closed, but all he had to do was close his eyes and he could see her perfectly. He drifted patiently, waiting for the right moment. This time. This time, he swore, they would be free. He would protect her. He would be hers. Her Caleb.

A very merry festive season to all who celebrate! For me, I went a different direction with the festive meal this year. Instead of the traditional roast dinner, we made brisket with mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts (cooked with bacon, cranberries and pine nuts) and cornbread muffins.

Success! It looks so good, and feels much more manageable. I can move it around, pose with it, all that good stuff SO much more easily than the previous one. Now to do it all over again to make it's twin, then on to finishing and painting. (Printed on a Bambu H2D, using Bambu PLA Matte filament)

Warglaive round 2. Ran some test prints of the handle to figure out a better size, so this one should be much more manageable (3/4 of the size I printed previously). I also added more infill to the piece that connects the blades to the handle, as that was a weak point on the previous print.
