I’m not sure why we were thinking it’d be fun to go clamber around gigantic snow mountains from the plows.
I was even fairly prepared and properly layered for warmth…except my Org gloves are not winter-approved.
I have no idea how my face can look so serene here when this was the moment I felt the [...]

Basically, I brought Dream with me to Youmacon so I could get photos with Nella’s Death. Actually, I was kinda glad to drag him out once more and upgrade some bits yet again…the best part being actually to use full-white body make-up this time. (I’m pale, so I’ve been cheating and [...]

Sae got a crazy idea to make a glowing Organization 13 coat, so this is what we ended up with… Someday, I might still make a “normal” Vexen, but for now, I have this. XD
These shots were taken on Halloween at Youmacon by Elemental.

We took some shots of Saeru’s Sari cosplay at the end of the day back at our hotel, which were way better than shooting actually in the convention crowd.
There is light-up EL sheeting in the gauntlets, so hopefully you can almost tell in the photos.
Also, getting Sae’s skin tone that dark was such a pain! [...]

The fusion of cultures and time periods and scale and sheer bizarrity has been an inspiration both to my artwork and [...]

Since we missed out on most of the Ohayocon action, Elemental took a few extra solo shots of Saeru’s Xaldin and my Xigbar cosplays at Kawa Kon, a little convention in St. Louis.

While Elemental was still in the country, we gathered a few local Chicago-based cosplayers and borrowed the upstairs lounge of the SushiSamba restaurant for a quick Photo Party.
Finally, after some 8-odd years, I’ve managed to upgrade my Lloyd cosplay to my liking. (Although, I do still need to document his armored cape which has been [...]

The first (and not the last time) we helped to fill a full Organization XIII cosplay cast. Assembled on Friday night of Ohayocon 2009, we managed to work with Elemental to capture some interesting photos at the convention, which led to both an overall highlighted photo-shoot plus an individual featured photo on cosplay.com.

Uploaded mid-December (altho I just noticed it now) this is the latest promo vid featuring some new bits of footage and (mostly) more coherent bits of older clips. Our contributions for this include the greenscreen teaser with our Soul Calibur costumes and a journey to fetch war spatulas and [...]

Good morning, Angels…
Sae has promised we’re going to branch our art out into other directions to explore different techniques and our other fandoms…
