Daisy Mae
I'll have an eBook this month! It'll be a step by step tutorial for a Daisy Mae cosplay. It's already finished too! ^^

I went straight to editing the skin for this one. I removed blemishes and duplicated the layer. On that layer I adjusted the hue and saturation to change my skin tone. To get a good purple color I selected the colorize option and then adjusted the hue and saturation sliders until I was happy. After that I had to add a layer mask, hit control+i and then colored in only the areas where my skin wa...

First things I did was edit the background. I added curtains I found on a stock image website and the pentagram decor. I also removed the wrinkles from the backdrop and rug. Then I adjusted the sharpness, noise and blur of all the layers to better match one another. Next I adjust the lighting and overall tone/color to the photo to blend things together a bit more. The curtains still looked like...
2020-02-11 17:28:24 +0000 UTC View PostSo I got a new program for making my templates and am updating ALL of my older ones. I'm not able to fix the deviation in lines that happen during scanning and such, and am including files of the full, completed template.
If you want the update templates of ones you've gotten from patreon (or my shop) in the past just message me with a screenshot of the old templates (since I don't remem...
I can finally take photos! I have a location and someone to help. I'm glad I don't have to settle for a backdrop. Those photos always take the longest to edit and slow me down. Mostly b/c I have to basically replace the ENTIRE background anyways due to how wrinkly all my backdrop are ;n; I try ironing them too.. But they wrinkle so easily. I really need a steamer ;^^ So hoping this means that t...

I got to collab with Little Chook and model a dress of her's. You can find this dress here: https://www.little-chook.com/collections/dresses/products/magikarp-dress
I'll definitely be modeling more of her stuff in the future :) It's not sponsored btw! She's a small shop...
I've been trying to figure out a few last things when making this eBook. Currently I separate patterns up based on what fits best together, so people don't have to purchase an entire pattern set for just the 1 piece they might want. It keeps the price low and gives people options.
SO.. when creating an eBook. Should I break those up in a way that I'd package patterns together too (s...

I HAVE SHIRTS NOW GUYS. I've had these ideas in my head for a while now! And finally sat down to work on them. I'm pretty happy with the designs. So let me know what you guys think! Also I already ordered some of them for myself ;^^... mostly to take photo...

Making a progress dump for Aloy for those of you who aren't on IG ^^ Had to double up on skirt fabric (since only one side has the leather-like texture to it). That means twice as many skirts! ;^^ Luckily, besides the "u" shaped embroidery in the center, most of the hand sewing could be done after both sides of each skirt were all sewn together--so at least that workload isn't doubled xD

Here's another Jester Sakura photo! :3 I'm not 100% happy with the wig. I mean, the wig itself is great! I just wish I had styled it better and so that it was more fitting for the hat.. It looked fine without the hat on but once the hat was on it mushed everything down. So I'll probably trim it more for future Sakura cosplays~

Spent quite a bit of today editing photos :) Now back to crafting! Getting so close to being done with the skirts for Aloy. They're taking FOREVER!

I realized my hair is pretty close to Kiki's so I ordered this cosplay (well the bow and the dress). I just need to order the broom and shoes next~ I'll hopefully have photos soon!
Still working on getting photos of other cosplays too. Trying to figure out how I'm going to shoot my Tyrande photos... ;^^ There's no real good area near by but I feel like a backdrop would be too boring.... ...

Going to start actually writing stuff on my photo post for the New Year. So here's how I Photoshop on tattoos! I start by making a plain, straight-forward, flat design on a new layer. This will be my base for all my photos so I lock that one (like won't touch it again once I'm happy with it) and duplicate it to have a copy to work with and actually warp to my body (in this case my arms). ...
