This last weekend, I got together with a friend to shoot my Daenerys cosplay, and I couldn’t be happier with how these came out. If you want to see his other work (or book him, DO IT), he can be found here at @randomshootings
I’ll also be doing a write up on how I made this cosplay for Phoenix Comicon, which I am working on now. Anyways, without further ado, enjoy! 🙂
In honor of May the 4th, I thought I would do a roundup of my favorite Star Wars flavored posts and memories with E-Rad’s Cantina. Star Wars has been such a big part of my life for as long as I can remember, so let’s just say that I’m not hurting for content when it comes to this subject 😉
Star Wars Movie Marathon Party
SO MANY CUTE ITEMS THIS MONTH. Lots and lots of cutie apparel that I’m excited to share for this that haven’t seen these items yet. Yay!
Ignoring the fact that I am DEFINITELY reading a script that Jeff is carefully holding underneath the camera, the information remains the same 😀 I started a Patreon page to further aid me in my quest to provide more custom content! Over the last few weeks, I’ve started drawing, strategizing and creating a new line of geek fandom clothes that I CAN NOT WAIT to show to the world. My apartment is a mess, but it’s totally worth it.
If you want to support me on Patreon, I would, of course, appreciate it, but I promise I’ll give you something in return. I’ll be posting a lot of my artistic process on my Patreon feed, which isn’t something I typically share this early in the game. For now, there is only the $1 a month level to unlock. Nothing too crazy over here. I hope to have more things available over time, which I have lots of ideas for, but until then, keep an eye out for new content!
Thanks everyone!
I present to you, my first concept come to life: the Tina Belcher Dress.
For a little while now, I’ve been sketching out ideas for new geek clothes that I can make myself. The more I get into cosplay, the more I want to use these new found skillsets in my geek fashion.
Today I’m going to talk about my current cosplay WIP, San of Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke. So as of this week, here is where the cosplay stands:
I wanted to put a cosplay together for Wondercon this year. I have a couple of bigger group cosplays planned for SDCC and Dragoncon, but I wanted to make sure I put one together just for me. I landed on San EVEN THOUGH she wasn’t on my pressing wishlist. I am so fickle, I don’t even know sometimes.
I’ve gotten the bug. The cosplay bug… And after my experience cosplaying this year for my first time, I can’t stop dreaming about all the cosplays I want to do! The list grows constantly… But here are the six that currently have my attention for 2017, starting with…
TYRA – PALADINS

A little while ago, 3 of our friends accepted jobs at a studio in Georgia called Hi-Rez. Some of you might be familiar with their games, Smite and (the still in beta), Paladins. Losing our friends to the move has been sort of a bummer, so to make it less of a bummer, Jeff and I decided to plan a trip to Georgia to see them! We are also planning on GOING TO DRAGONCON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVEEERRRR. I am VERY VERY excited about both of these things.
So my friend and makeup goddess, Sofi, and I decided to plan a cosplay together. After throwing around a few ideas, we decided to represent Hi-Rez and choose a couple of Paladins characters. I decided to go with Tyra BECAUSE LOOK AT HER! SHE’S AMAZING. Also, I feel like Tyra will give me a chance to sculpt with foam some more, so I am really excited for the challenge. In fact, the bear head and fire horn thingy are already underway as I am typing this! Oh, and for those wondering, Sofi decided on Evie (my second favorite). Can’t wait for Dragoncon! Eeeeee!
