The latest early access ever: Pentagram bra tutorial!

me last week: I'm gonna release a new video every Monday now!
me at 10pm Sunday night: o fuck

I had originally planned on releasing the Jester's Mom behind the scenes today, but that edit is sucking up a lot of time, so I whipped up this much-requested little tutorial instead! (Since I filmed it this morning, unfortunately the "early access" is gonna be pretty much nonexistent today �...

Patron Spotlight: KP11 Photos

Prakash goes by KP11 Photos online, which is unsurprising once you hear his full name. “My name is Prakash InexplicablyLongIndianName,” he says to me when I ask him to introduce himself to the other Patrons. His actual last name is Upadhyayula. “Not sure if that’s any better,” he jokes.

Prakash was bor...

Help me write "Vicious Mockery: 100 D&D Insults to Celebrate 100k Subs!"

HEY FRIENDS! Do you remember when I asked for your help coming up with D&D themed pick-up lines to celebrate 50,000 YouTube subscribers and I made this very silly video that is now the most popular video on my channel?

Well, I really enjoyed getting to collaborate with you guys, and I'm coming up on 10...

MOAR JOY

Just a few images from today! I put on Nurse Joy again to shoot polaroids and fully took advantage of my mom's foster kittens as "Pokémon." I also got to include Mostly Harmless Designs' crocheted Oddish in some of the polaroids!! She's a Patron and kindly gifted it to me when she saw that I was working on Nur...

Patron Spotlight: Cross Connect Cosplay

What were you doing nine years ago? Simon Cowell was leaving American Idol. Matt Smith was starting his run as the Eleventh Doctor. Those guys from One Direction were forming One Direction. And somewhere in Canada, Ray was putting together her first cosplay.

Over those nine years, Ray Slay, also known ...

Oh hey, this looks familiar!

Back in July, I made this video and shared it with Patrons. But when I reviewed it last week to post it publicly on Monday, I realized just how much my videos have improved since July and was suddenly super embarrassed to be posting something that didn't reflect my current skill set, soooo... I reshot it!

That is to say, this video has the same script and is basically the same, but I've v...

Another pin-up preview!

Putting the finishing touches on calendar stuff right now and just wanted to share another preview! Here you can see the original pin-up I based this one on, which is by Gil Elvgren, on the left, and my version on the right.

Working through new pin-up edits!

Jackie (my graphic designer) and I are plugging away at the 2020 calendar right now in hopes of releasing pre-orders this week! Here's one of the new pin-ups — Crysta from Fern Gully!

I'll make a masterpost to Patreon soon with a general calendar FAQ — info about your Patron discounts, about the di-ety tier and what your reward entitles you to, etc.

Meanwhile, I have a few more ...

Meet Aisling!

PHEW, this video ended up being WAY more challenging than I originally anticipated! I've been putting the work in lately to improve my audio quality, get more creative with the way I execute videos, step up my editing, incorporate music more... just generally try and make my videos better. I tried a lot of new things with this one and I hope they've paid off! Shoutout to Bobby from 2019-11-05 15:58:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Filmed today!

I spent both yesterday and today filming for my upcoming "Meet my D&D Character" video, which is going up on Monday! I'm just getting started on the edit and hope to have it up for di-votees tomorrow for early access.

I really wish I could've shot outside even a little, but Colorado is basically all muddy post-snow right now, so instead I put together a very green, VERY space-limited ...

Meet Nightshade!

I bought this Game of Thrones dragon prop on Amazon  (waaaay overpriced for the quality... but I really liked the head shape & pose in comparison to other options) and repainted it and glued on flowers to turn it into Nightshade, my D&D character Aisling's familiar! She's a 2019-11-02 01:19:05 +0000 UTC View Post

New Cosplay: My D&D Character!

Art by toughtink 

I've started working on a new cosplay — and it's something a little different for me! In part because it's my own original character (my D&D character, an elf warlock) and in part because this is going to be less "make a single costume" and more "make a col...

GOTH SHIT

when Wyrmwood sent me this wenge coffin vault with turquoise inlay (available on their Kickstarter right now!) I couldn't help but feel like it was what goth Ginny would look like if she were a dice vault, h...

Katara & Sokka — Before & After

My friend Andy of Valentine Costumes snapped a few photos of Josh and I as Katara and Sokka at DragonCon with these cool hanging sculptures! I had the idea of color swapping the yellow for blue to get a cool waterbending effect, although to be totally honest I think the photos are a lot more striking with the y...

Nurse Joy — Full Photoshoot!

Once the pin-ups were all shot, we did a full, non-pinup Nurse Joy photoshoot as well! I intentionally shot these in a very similar style to my Officer Jenny shoot, since they're such parallel costumes. 

That's two pin-up shoots down!

Last night, Josh and I shot the Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy pin-ups! I've included two unedited previews, but we shot two pin-ups for each character plus one of them together — not sure yet which will end up in the calendar!

This was my first time wearing Nurse Joy and although I had some wig difficulties, overall I'm really happy with how it came out!! (Also, of course Chaucer has to h...

She's done!

Nurse Joy is all done! All told this took around 15 hours over the course of 3 days. I can't wait to put it all on together — I already suspect this is going to become a new favorite convention appearance costume just because of how cute and comfortable the dress is!
