Tonight I found myself revisiting photos I’ve taken of the sky around sunset and emulating Makoto Shinkai’s iconic color palette in my post-processing. Makoto Shinkai is one of my favorite directors, most notably for his color design, background art, and the meticulous attention to detail in the animation of his films. I’m especially a fan […]
Hellooo!! Late late late again, but I’ve finally finished my AX 2015 con report. Enjoy!! DAY 0 After I pulled an all-nighter finishing up cosplays, Michael (@MobileSuitGuy) and I headed out to the airport at 4AM for our 6AM flight! Everything went super smoothly, and our ticketer was kind enough to let me shift some […]
This is my first time purchasing from Uniqso (I’ve been a Honeycolor gal for yearrrrrs), and I managed to order during their B2G1 promotion. It arrived the DAY before I flew to Anime Expo…. it seems that AX is cursed with 11th hour deliveries for me, as I had previously attempted to order from ISZO […]
Hello!! Time to post part two (you can find part 1 here) of building my Saber Lily cosplay. In this entry I’ll be covering my armor as well, so I’ll try to explain as much as I can! I heavily looked towards Gyakuyoga’s Saber Armor tutorial in creating my armor, although there’s definitely a lot […]
Today Michael and I went to the Japanese Garden in downtown to have a photoshoot of our AX cosplays. ^^ We didn’t know that there was a Sounders game that day, so we ran into quite a bit of traffic commuting hahaha. The bus was completely packed with Sounders fans! We took an uber to the […]
The big day is finally here! I graduated on June 19th with my BFA in Fashion Design and I couldn’t be happier. This post is a bit unorganized because of finals, and immediately working on AX prep, but I wanted to make a post regardless. Enjoy! (Before and After!) The selfie on the left made […]
Super excited to post that my main costume for AX will be Saber Lily from Fate/Unlimited Codes! The version I’ll be making is heavily inspired by Toda Satoshi’s 1/8th scale figure, manufactured by Gift (above photos c/o Good Smile Company). I really liked how the pink dress contrasted the grey armor and white underskirt, so […]
Tonight I styled my Futaba wig for my Ao Haru Ride cosplay! Sakisaka Io is one of my favorite mangakas, and Ao Haru Ride a favorite series of mine, second only to Strobe Edge in Sakisaka’s works. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ It’s a series I will recommend over and over again, and my deepest wish […]
Hey guys! My friends and I successfully received our taobao order the other day, so I thought I’d post the photos. This is definitely the biggest order I’ve ever done, totaling two packages and almost 100 items?! Though it went relatively smoothly, it’ll be my first and last large order hahaha! Our first package…. I […]
