It took so much trial and error, but I finally managed to scale this stand to correctly hold Kimahri!! Finally, he stands!

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Been using my 3D printer lately to try and scale a stand correctly to my Kimahri figure. I got him a while ago, but the figure is old and his original stand was lost at some point. Having a big of scaling set backs, but I'm figuring it out.

Thought it would be fun to share my drafting process with my writing. This was from back during the Crisis Core zine. I still like to handwrite in notebooks. Keeps me focused and feels easier to make revisions since I have to type everything up later anyway.

Got some lovely art from #Tekko including this Tifa print from the ever awesome artist, @cdra.bsky.social! Not pictured is the cute Shadow clicky as I had already given it to the friend I intended to give it to. (P.S. I did finally hang that print!)

Welp. The bad news is that the lockpick did not survive the drop test. The good news is it happened at home and was an easy repair. Clean break. #chilchuck #dungeonmeshi #deliciousindungeon #cosplay

Slow burning Chilchuck's lockpick. It might not be perfect, but it sure ain't ai. #chilchuck #dungeonmeshi #deliciousindungeon #cosplay #polymerclay

Think my zine piece is officially- officially wrapped and thus I have finally gotten focused on getting together my cosplay. Bias tape hell has begun. #dungeonmeshi #chilchuck #deliciousindungeon

Humbled to be a part Return To Zanarkand (@ff10-fanzine.bsky.social). FFX is my absolute favorite Final Fantasy title and I'm excited to see this project come together. Please look forward to both the fanthology as well as the community zine!

Top 4 Final Fantasy games 1. X. Wasn't the first one I finished/ fell in love with. But it stuck with me all these years. 2. IX. Loved the characters and found it v moving. 3. Remake. Took OG and made it so much stronger imo. 4. XVI. FF team finding their pace again. Not perfect but interesting.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

I did the thing as a lil sticker. /o/ I'm also gonna attempt to use an alt account to actually post all my things over at @jackinspades.bsky.social. Very slowly. Cause it's me. #lgbt+ #lgbt #transpride

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Physical media fills me with unapologetic joy.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

Right, I never posted the photos of the sword and shield for my Link to the Past cosplay. I didn't have time to weather them like I wanted to but eh. Shield was on a super budget with whatever gold paint I had in my possession. Gonna redo it to be more reflective eventually. #zelda #cosplay #loz

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

I feel like this is just a con tradition at this point. 🤣🤣🤣 No worries. I had insoles in them and back up shoes in my car. Had these since 2013? 2014? So, they had a good run.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

Printed all that I could for the night. Gonna bring some of these flowers, too, cause why not. #tekko #tekko2025

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

Continuing to print these lil guys until I run out of gold pla or time. One of the two. I'll be handing them out at #tekko #tekko2025

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Struggle bus falling asleep so more shield progress in the meantime. I would usually put on one more coat of compound and sand it again to make the edge cleaner, but I'm on too much of a time crunch at this point. And honestly also starting to feel the burn out with all I have done.

110

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

I have frosted my shield. Okay, not really, but the sides are filled now and I'll be sanding it later today.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Shield summoning circle and my finished tunic. The tunic is servicable. I wanted to modify it some, but honestly, with the time crunch I'm in and three more things to finish, I'm being smart and accepting fate there.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Throwback from last year for I totally forgot to post the video of the final product of potlid shield. I'm still stoked over how it turned out. I basically was working on it last year until the last minute. #cosplay #zelda #botw #propwork

Still working at the paint but it's getting there. 3D print model: Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past by Neebick www.printables.com/model/419548...

Feeling like that summoning circle meme as I continue to chant to myself "Trust the process. Trust the process. Trust the process." Link mirror shield progress though. Attached the trim and cord. Spray painted the hell out of it to help the silver paint adhere. First layer silver.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

Have about eleven more days until the con. An attempt will be made.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

I'm making another attempt at wefts to make a new Botan wig happen that hopefully won't feel as miserable to wear as the last one I had. 8') Sacrifice of a Miku wig. Insert Hellmo here

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Some days, you feel like doing nothing. Other days, you cut out a whole ass shield base in one go. Mirror shield in Link to the Past style is go. #zelda #cosplay #loz #tekko2025

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

One pair down. Three to go.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

I spent some of today again working on jeans. Managed to do all the pinning and then I ironed these waistbands in preparation to attach them.

020

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Finally just assembly lining these jeans since I'm happy with how the sizing came out on the one. Still not perfect but nothing is, so it's fine.

000

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

I continue to defeat jeans. This pair is finally shaping up! And more boy helping.

020

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

The jeans journey continues. Properly installed this zipper today. I'm gonna keep on rolling until I run out of energy for it for the day. It's been so long since I've done them that I'm sewing one pair before I sew the other three. Also pictured one of my OG pairs I sewed back in 2021.

Repost with a female character you love, nerds!! Any series, movie, game, book, whatever. Vi is my favorite from Arcane, but there's so many good ones in that series.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

Spending my birthday like this cause I WANT JEANS, MAN.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

Happy Early Pride!! I am very tired, BUT. I did a thing. FINALLY. First sticker get. Shop links in the comments. Shipping to US only unfortunately since we've been see-sawing with tariffs.

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

A preview of a remake of a print I did in college a looong time ago. I always loved this, but it was a time in my life where I had six classes including three studios and I was stressed and tired and couldn't give it my all. So, coming back to this and doing it justice is real nice. #hands

110

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Just a lil sneak peak of something I've been working on. #hands #graylightsart

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

I have had these for a million years but didn't know what the hell to call them. I could have just called them faceted beads?? Apparently. So yeah. They're a thing. Also they're stupid shiny and colorful. And I really like the line down the middle in the back. Makes me think of cat eyes.

111

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Finally reopened my etsy since I'm still job hunting. Just shipping within the US to start but I have baskets, earrings, and my digital files all listed there. Fixed the images for the digital files, too. #finalfantasyvii #ffviir #ffviii #coilbaskets #earrings www.etsy.com/shop/JackInS...

011

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Been a minute since I finished a coil basket. The lighting is being real weird. It's a little lighter. But otherwise! Tadah. I should follow through and put up the pictures of the other baskets I made. Really like some of the color combos/placements I did. #basketmaking #coilbaskets #basketry

0110

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Started a coil basket cause I have a ton of paper coiling still and I really just want to get it all out of my closet at this point if I'm being honest. I used to do these all the time, but it's been a minute. Just sort of ran out of folks that I thought would be interested in them at the time-

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

I made this little Kunsel pin with an aluminum foil pan waaay back in 2018 cause no one was making anything of him and I wanted something of him on my itabag. But then kept forgetting to share him whoops. Newer sketch of him next to the old one. #ffvii #ff7 #ffcc #kunsel

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

I was third place winner for the All the Dwagons give away and got this lovely original design from them! If I could, I would get every single one of their original designs at once, but for now I'll appreciate their lovely ice dwagon. www.allthedwagons.com

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Mails (Zack) Never Sent was a series I wrote for the CC Zine years back. I pulled them from Twitter/X, so figure I'll put them back up here. You can find a link to download the graphics I used for these in the comment below. I really enjoyed writing these. #ffvii #fviicc #zackfair #finalfantasyvii

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Oh shiiit. I was the lucky third place winner of the All the Dwagons giveaway! I love their pins! They don't have a blusky account atm, but you can find all their dwagons here! allthedwagons.com

Sometimes you need to remind yourself that despite the burn out, you are still capable of invaluable things. Old drawing from 2010 done in Crayola colored pencils when I student taught. Miss drawing regularly. One day, something will inspire me again. #birdhouses #coloredpencils #traditionalart

Jodie @graylights.bsky.social · 24/07/2024
