If you need something last-minute for Gateway Fate, order before October 10th, and request in-person pickup in the order notes.

For Halloween orders, please allow minimum 2 weeks for creating + shipping time, and include your deadline in an order note.

Thanks! 🎃

Dragon look for the #RenaissanceFaire this past weekend!

Feat @turtlesmithy.bsky.social horns & tail <3
A side-by-side pic of a cosplayer dressed as a dragon. Her outfit is all black but is covered in draped chains and shiny metallic belts. She has large but spindly gold jewelry on her arms, and claws on her fingers. There is an expression of joy on her face as she swishes her tail!

Feat Carpet Brocade by @yayahan.bsky.social + horns/tail from @turtlesmithy.bsky.social

#dragoncon #occosplay #originalcharacterdesign #cosplay #fantasyfashion
A cosplayer portrays "Dragoncon". They kneel on a tiled floor in harsh light, one knee up, with billowing black pants. Their wizard-like robes are created from the Dragoncon carpet brocade. The cosplayer has dragon horns and a tail, and gestures claws towards the floor and towards their face.

It’s always an honor to outfit fellow Warriors of Light!
Keep us in mind for your Fanfest cosplay plans, but also, now’s a great time to get your Halloween orders in before the ticket lottery hits 🎃

We’ve recently gotten an influx of inquiries for Dragoncon and PAX (mostly bunnies)! The current queue of fur orders are expected to ship tomorrow or Friday.
We can take on more orders to ship next week, but we recommend ordering before Monday (the 18th), and leaving a note with your deadline.

Just a lil’ preview of @malindachan.bsky.social’s wig and @turtlesmithy.bsky.social’s Viera ears for Dancing Green! Don’t mind my unshavenness. 😂

Absolutely looking forward to the whole debut at @gatewayfate.bsky.social this year. 🐰🕺🐸

This is my homemade Taapu cosplay from Dawntrail. As I am blind, I loved her inclusion- she's just a person working in the world who happens to be blind. And the fact she doesn't visually track the WoL when talking is A+! 1/2
A photograph of a cosplay of Taapu from Final Fantasy 14, in the Dawntrail expansion. I am dressed as her, in a knee-length open green coat made of a loose woven teal fabric, with a series of horizontial stripes near the lower hem in light teal, tan, and dark green. I am wearing a fringed scarf, rippling with light and dark teal fabric around my shoulders going down. The jacket also is belted, with the scarf belted in as well with a black leather belt with gold accents. The jacket also has a number of leather details, fastened with metal eyelets with dark leather cord. I am wearing a white shirt and heather grey pants beneith, though most is hidden by the jacket and scarf. A second, shorter scarf is belted around my midsection with fake metal coins, gold detail, and teal fringe. I am wearing a shoulder length pink wig with pink furred rabit ears, wearing a KN95 mask, and holding my white blind cane. In the bottom left corner is the photographer's logo for Nerd Caliber.

Did a scenic shoot at Garden of the Gods, with my WOL in Thavnairian set + DNC chakrams!

Can't tell you how uplifting this shoot was for me. My self-confidence kinda dropped over the months, but after a couple of months of working on myself, I'm REALLY excited to get photos back.

Credits in reply!

Costa Del Sol Cloud is almost done! Have been wanting to make this one since Rebirth came out. Feels kinda weird to be making a project relevant to the season for once lol. Excited to shoot some photos of the costume later this month!

For the ear color, we’re using a new bright green fur, but we haven’t added it to our listing swatches yet. If you need to order ears for this character and want the new color, shoot us a message on Etsy!
