Akali Blood Moon Cosplay (remake)

Wow I didn't post anything here for a looong time... ; - ; sorry about that!
I've been mostly active on my Facebook and my Instagram, links are now at the right side of my blog under my profile if you want to follow my daily adventures ~  =^.^=



So! While I was gone, I have been working on several projects that I will update my blog with as soon as possible!

Among other things, I remade my Blood Moon Akali cosplay for Riot's Lunar Revel Event they had this February and I reaaallly wanted to make the cut so I remade EVERYTHING (except the mask) on my old blood moon cosplay just so it would be completely homemade and updated! ^__^

I learned some new techniques that I used on my new pair of weapons and here is the result ~

If anyone wants a tutorial for the weapons I'm more than happy to post one later on!

This was the end result and I'm really happy with it ~ my most comfortable cosplay yet! I really adore Akali and I can't wait to cosplay her default skin this weekend at Närcon 2015!! ^___^

Blood Moon Akali (remake of my old version)

Nurse Akali Cosplay League of Legends

Aaaahh so excited to reveal my recent cosplay that I wore in London at Hyper Japan +.+ I know some people have been dying to know and I'm sorry for the delay, I'm just very lazy ~

I will probably make a tutorial for these weapons (I took some progress pictures and now I just need to stahp with the lazyness *w*) I tried another technique for this pair because as usual I didn't have a lot of time. I made them in 2 weeks (and don't forget I work 8 hours 5 days a week Q_Q get off my back guys!! jk ehe~ ♥)

Before the nurse akali cosplay reveal I'm going to go ahead and say this; this wasn't a cosplay I really planned on doing. Personally I don't like this kind of fanservice but the trip to Hyper Japan was very spontanious and I didn't have time to sew (or LEARN to sew) the cosplay I had originally planned to be my next. This was a bit of a last minute thing since I ordered the nurse outfit cheap online ^_^''

So, sorry for the fanservice and the "R-rated" pictures but I don't have much to show off anyways, hahh, so bare with me on this one oke ^.~ ♥

OBS! Since we were in London at Hyper Japan, we didn't get any time and no good place to take in-character pictures so we had to take them at our hotel room ; w ; (which only makes the cosplay seem more inappropiate *cry cry*)

I'll try to redo this shoot with Sandra at a better spot next time! ^__^ Now here goes~ 

As charming as always ~ yours truly,

Ahri Cosplay League of Legends Part 1

For those who follow my instagram (I guess I'm more active there atm :c so lazy) knows that I went to Stockholm to see my bestie Sandra <3 and of course with that comes photoshoots!

I had the best time and I might post a few pictures from that later on c:

Anyways, to this post now!

I was cosplaying Ahri from League of Legends, my favorite game of all time +.+, at Närcon last summer but we didn't have time to take any pictures! So we made up for it a few weeks ago ~

I'm not a perfect Ahri but I did my best ; . ; hope you like! <3

Hope you like it \( ^__^ )/ ~ and look forward to part 2 ~
Already planning my third cosplay, can you guess who?

Hint: it's a character from my favorite game ehe ♥

How to Make Blood Moon Akali Weapons Tutorial Part 1

Hello ~
Yes, I have been quite busy lately, getting stressed out about the anime convention I'm going to with Sandra in July ^^' a lot of things to order and a lot of things to make ~
Right now I'm working on the weapons to my Blood Moon Akali cosplay which I'm planning to wear at the convention!

Well, this will be more like a "How I made my blood moon akali weapons" ^^' if you even can call this a tutorial I'm not sure :3
Since I'm far from finished I will split this tutorial in a few posts but when I make more, the other parts will be linked at the bottom of each post ~

For those who do not know, Akali is a character/champion from the online game League of Legends, and she happens to be one of my favorite ones to play.

 Picture taken from League of Legends forums


Let's get started! ~

What you need:

• Expanding foam
• Cardboard
• Pen or marker (I prefer using a pen first, then fill the lines with a marker)
• A knife or if prefered scissors
• Spraybottle with water
• Old newspaper (to protect the floor from the sticky foam)
• Cutting board (if you use a knife to protect the floor)

Start out with cutting out a big piece of cardboard, scetch up the weapon in the size you want it to be.

In this picture I have already scetched and drawn the lines with a marker. A tip, just take your time scetching, erasing, measuring and redoing.. you need to be happy your pattern!

Cut out your scetch! I chose to use a knife because I think it makes the edges look cleaner.

Since I want TWO weapons, I used my first drawn pattern to make a second one. I did this by putting my first made one over another piece of cardboard and just drawing a line around the edges. 

Spray the cut-out pattern with the water bottle (it said so on the foam-bottle) then cover one side of your cardboard pattern with the expanding foam. Once again, use the water bottle and spray this time over the foam. This will make the foam dry faster.

This is a picture of when the foam has expanded, so keep in mind not to use too much since it will expand to at least twice the size!

Wait 60 minutes. 
The foam will have expanded and grown a bit harder, but NOT hard enough for you to cut it yet.
Now you can turn the weapon around and cover the other side with foam aswell.

After 24 hours, you can begin to sculp your weapon.

I hope you enjoyed the first part of the tutorial! ^^
Look forward to the second part hopefully coming up tomorrow! xoxo,

Pikachu Kigurumi Cosplay

Another outfit from the photoshoot in the studio with the lovely Sandra holding the camera once again ^^ ~
This time it's pictures of me in my pikachu kigurumi that I got from my darling ♥

We were actually in a hurry when shooting this one because we only had half an hour and about three more outfits each to go ^.^' it was a bit stressful but the day was so much fun overall.
For backstage pictures click the link -- > Backstage Pictures: Studio 2014

My kigurumi was bought on Ebay.com and I do recommend to buy it from there since kigurumi's are usually very pricy! 

Now, enjoy!~

Neko Cosplay - Me with blonde hair

In a recent post I showed a picture of myself in a blonde wig(link) ^.^' I just realised I haven't shown the pictures from that particular part of our day in the studio (along with some others that I will show eventually).

I take a long time editing and I usually never get satisfied with my pictures >.< luckily, Sandra (the photographer) edited these! She edits quicky and the result is always very natural and flawless @w@ click here if you want to check her out ~

For some of the backstage pictures, click here ~ Backstage Pictures: Studio 2014

I tried the so called puppy eyes makeup here because I thought it would go well with the cosplay ^^ it gives a sweet look and makes the eyes look bigger! Like as if they were about to pop out of your head +.+' no, but .. that's the idea. For those who are not familiar with the puppy eyes, you can read about it at the end of this post ~ Testing Makeup from CandyDoll !
