Time for a pinned post :)

I'm cosplaying for over 20 years now. I made lots of different costumes over the years from a lot of different sources. I love the variety and creativity of the hobby. You never stop learning new things!

A collage of 4 Cosplay photos depicting 4 different costumes by the same Cosplayer.

Shin-Ah from Akatsuki no Yona or Yona of the Dawn. The face can't be seen because he is wearing a white mask with horns. He is hooded with white fur. The background is black.
Relm from Final Fantasy 6. She is sitting down and grins at the camera. The outfit is very colorfull with bright red ballon pants with stars on it and a pink turbanlike hat. She has curly blond hair. The background is white.

Selphie from Final Fantasy 8. She is kneeling down and holds an accustic guitar. She wears a short yellow dress with a zipper at the front. The background is white.

Killuah from Hunter X Hunter. A young boy with white spikey hair wearung a causual violett shirt and blue short pants. He is standing up with his hands in his pockets and grins. The background is black.

Another shot from my Fallout cosplay we took last weekend. The pipboy was my first attempt at a more complex prop out of foam a few years ago. The pipe revolver is made out of cardstock and paper and looks much cleaner.

My fabric order arrived! I also got one leftover surprise stash for 3€ and I laughed at this weird blue fabric with instruments, belly dancers and cartoon characters partying. It's a sight to behold. The red one with stars and balls is great, too. The others are actually quite pretty

8 random fabrics ranging from nice to ugly

Old Fallout Cosplay with new prop!

The pipe revolver is entirely made from paper and glue, the cylinder is made from a toilet paper roll :p

Day 1 at Sci-Fi Con in Speyer over. Felt really nice to wear a cosplay again, sadly didn't take any photos 💦

Happy that I can work from home for the rest of the week ✨

Phew~ a few problems on tge last steps. Glue doesn't want to glue like I want to so I didn't dare to finish the assembly yet.
I'm also not finished with painting...
On one hand I see all the mistakes on the other hand I'm a bit impressed I made this with paper and no plan whatsoever

It's more of an experiment. I don't have a printer so the proportions are kinda off

I might be able to rewear my Fallout costume soonish so I thought why not make a shitty prop? I already made my pipboy out of garbage and foam (without knowing how to properly work with foam).
So last weekend I started in the pipe revolver. Not very acurate but slowly taking form.

The last year has been really difficult, but right now I feel happy and grateful. I'm looking forward to a chill weekend, the weather is nice
