Photoshoot: ElfQuest - Cutter and Skywise

FINALLY I'M DONE EDITING!!!!
GOD sometimes I wish we had just cut of one finger and make everything easier for me! ;D <3
ANYWAYS:

Last weekend me and my lovely Skywise when on a photoshoot.
It was the very first time we've ever taken pictures together like this, and my very first time working with Silas, who is our AWESOME/FANTASTIC/GENIUS photographer!

I'm very pleased with the pictures and I can't wait for a bigger shoot in August where we will be a bigger group of ElfQuest cosplayers. :3 wuup wuup!

Other than this shoot, my awesome partner is now working on a small video from the shoot, and I'm looking very much forward to see her work! :D I'll link it up when it's done!
BUT to see more pictures from this shoot, go to awesome Lupin's blog! :D

The lights and skin is edited by Silas, and the finger-removings and stuff is edited by me (with some help from awesome/fantastic/genius Ali Jehad <3) 

I also wants to thank our little "slave"/helper, Louise, who did a great job on the filming, driving, carry our stuff, helping Silas and being around spreading good mood! :D

Yesterday we was uploaded on the official ElfQuest Facebook site, and I just wanted to tell you guys, and it means the world to us that you guys like what we do! We are both huge huge huge ElfQuest fans and been reading the comics since we where little girls and that is the reason why these cosplays means so much to us.
Reading all the sweet comments you guys gave us so far have been going straight to our hearts, and we are so happy to share the love of this comic the way we do it!!
I'm sorry it's so weird written but I honestly don't know how to describe how happy I am!
Thanks to Richard and Wendy Pini for making this wonderful wonderful comic! I know that so many people agree with me when I say that your comic lies deep deep in our hearts!   <3

We are "sending" all of you our ElfQuest love! <3

New photoshoot coming up soon and new cosplay plans

Hi guys! :D

Very short, I just wanted to share with you guys what I'm currently up to. :)

This weekend, me and lovely Lavi is planning on a shoot as Cutter and Skywise and OH GOD I'm looking so much forward to it! ;W;b
So keep an eye out for the pictures! :D I'll upload them as soon as they are ready! :D

OTHER THAN THAT:

I've made some new plans for Genki.. I wont change the other plans that I'm having, so I'll change cosplay sometime during Saturday. :)

I'm planning on Souji from Hakuouki Shinsengumi kitan. ;w; I fell so much in love with this serie from the START, and when my lovely Hopy said she was planning on cosplaying as Hesuke, I just HAD to join her! :D
I'll make Soujis "English" outfit because I somehow really like the design! It wount be like 100% true to the original design since I'm kinda poor right now, so I have to find some hobo solutions! 8D BUT I'll do my best to make it look good! :D

That was about it for now.. More WIP will be uploaded soon, and ofcause the ElfQuest photoshoot as well. :D

Stay safe! <3

Desu-con - Pictures and videos

Sooo~ Last weekend me and some awesome friends took at trip to Norway for a convention called Desu-con. I LOOOVE that convention, I don't even!!
The people are nice, the cosplayers are great, the staff is more than awesome (and NEVER far away from a smile) and my roomies was the best! <3

And ofcause there was Star Wars EVERYWHERE!!!... *w* My kind of convention!!!

I managed to finish my Lebreau in the last second, so I'm not super exited about that cosplay. But it was awesome to try some other kinds of cosplays than what I'm use to. 

Anyways, I wont write to much, but I'll load some pictures up from the con plus a short con-video that I filmed and edited.. (first con-video, so don't expect the wildest con-video en the world! ;D).

HELP ME CHOOSE and some playing with make up

Hi guys...

I'm in a lot of doubt, and I thought that you perhaps could help me out. :D
I'm planning a Paradise Kiss cosplay together with my lovely Hopy as Caroline for Genki in August, but I'm in such a doubt WHO I want to cosplay!

 George VS Isabella

Isabella:

 I really like Isabella! I think she is such a darling!! I'll choose a simple outfit for her. Most properly her white shirt, long black skirt and big hat.. 

My problem with Isabella is, that Isabella is a DRAG QUEEN..... I would really really hate to cosplay as her looking like a girl with too much makeup, and I think that I most likely would look like that. :(

I feel like a girl with too much makeup... :S

But still.. She is so wonderful!!!

George:

It's no secret that George tense to be quite an asshole sometime! But I still like him a lot! :D

George is a bit feminine and that helps me out a great deal. :D I think it's easier for me to look manly than looking like a man with makeup... >__>; 

I've been thinking about my partner as well, and I think that it'll be a lot funnier to be Caroline and George than Caroline and Isabella... But then again.. George is a guy... XD And I'm getting a bit tired of coplaying as manly men.. XD 

GAARHG Can't decide!!!! :( 

Help? 

 

What is best? Looking manly or looking drag? :D

George make up: fast by me

Isabella make up: by Kami

(Just saying.. I had more "manly" George pictures than Drag-look-alike-pictures...)

---------

Speaking of manly men....

For some time now, I've been thinking about some pictures I wanted to take..
I'm a HUGE Darren Shan fan, and I sometimes wish a had a skinnier face, so then I could cosplay as my beloved Mr. Crepsley.. But I don't think I have the face for that..
So I wanted to try something where my face wasn't so much in focus like what I did tonight. :D

Charming, I know. :D

I hope you liked it. :) It was a VERY fast shoot with almost no light and a super fast makeup... I tense to do this kinda stuff AFTER the sun goes down.... I never learn! XD
(BTW.. The things on my fingers is suppose to be scares. :) In "The legend of Darren Shan" you get blooded by mixing blood from a vampire through your fingertips. That leaves scares and it's something every vampires has.)

Well that's it for now guys. :D
I'll upload some pictures about Desu-con as soon as I'm done editing all of them. :D <3
Don't forget to write weather you like me as George or as Isabella. :D //Don't let Crepsley distract you!

SVS-con + Next planned cosplay

Hi guys...

I'm going to keep this journal short because I'm in the middle of a really REALLY good book right now, and just needed a break after reading the whole day (Oh Darren Shan!! what you do to me! <3)

Anyways, Svs-con var AMAZING and I had such a great time!
Most of friday I spend with my Elfquest group. I love you girls! ;W; All of you! They looked so amazing and I can't WAIT for Genki where we will be a even larger group! ;W; All of my love! (Very soon, I'm going on a shoot together with Lavi as Skywise, and GOD I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!... Just saying!)

It was a pretty relaxing day, and nothing interesting really happened, other than Live TV was running around between us cosplayers with a big-ass camera, and many of my friends was filmed on the purpose to show "normal" people what we did at this convention. XD

Saturday was a really interesting day... Me and Lea had to prepare for the show as Sophie and Howl from Howls moving castle, and spend most of the day practicing.
I also spend some time walking around the con, but I was dressed up as old Sophie, so I was rather slow.. XD
But GOSH I loved people reaction. Some new about this cosplay, but non saw it coming that I would be the old version. ;D

Taking by Zarsu, one of our biggest fans! ;D <3

 Anyways, me and Lea was the last group of this years Svs-cosplay show, and I swear to you guys, I have never... NEVER made bigger mistakes on a stage as this one.. Holy Moly I fucked up! Luckly, I have an amazing Howl, and we manged to save to skit, so nobody seems to notices it. XD
SO after spending a hour or so apologizing over and over again to Lea (I was about to drive her mad, btw XD) it was time for the prizes.
I couldn't wait to see who would win the qualifications for this years London Expo, and begged all I had for it to be Karina, who was my fav single-performancer. And nothing could be more right when they called out her name as the winner! ;W; <3 Congratulations, sweety!
Some of my friends also manged to win two prizes for their AWESOME "Twisted Disney Princesses"-act <3 Congratulations girls! ;W; I still get the chills every time I think about your act! =w=
Also, me and Lea was lucky to win the prize for "Best Craft". I was SOOO happy, 'cause I didn't see it coming AT ALL.

I didn't upload the act myself yet, since my computer is horrible to use when you want to edit something in HDquality.. But you can see out act here:




Sunday was a really relaxing day. Not much happened other than hanging out with people and me and Lea had a small shoot, just because we had the time. :3

I think I've got one of the most handsome Howl cosplayer ever! ;D

ANYWAYS.... Now for the new subject: Future cosplays!

Desu-con is coming up in about a month, and I've changed my cosplay plans, and I will not be cosplaying as Fang... I've moved the cosplay to later this year.
Reason no. 1: Before a had both a Vanile and a Hope that would join me in the FFXIII group (The others is making cosplays for FFXIII-2) but both had to cancel because of exams... So.. I didn't feel like walking around as the only FFXIII. (I know Fang is showed in the start of the games in a dream, but still)
Reason no. 2: I don't think I would be able to make it in time... I haven't even started it yet, and I would HATE to rush it!
Reasion no. 3: I could join my good friend Hayes, and be his partner. :D

I choose to cosplay as Lebreau. :3 She was the first character I wanted to cosplay before I choose Fang, so it only seem natural for me to pick her again. :3 Her cosplay is not SUPER detailed, but it's not boring either.
Again I will have to show a bit more of my body than what I'm conformable with, but I think I'll be just fine. :D

 I can't wait for this con! ;W; I'm so exited! <3
AND I started this journal up with a "it's going to be short" and GOSH what a lier I am! XD
Have fun kids, and thanks for reading <3

Photoshoot - Cutter

Photographer: Kami
Editing: Me
Location: Frederiksborg forest, Hilleød
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah, I'm so exited about this cosplay, I can't wait a week to show it to the world!
It's far from the most awesome cosplay, and it has many flaws, but I must be honest and say that it really doesn't bother me THAT much! I'm just looking forward to walk around among other ElfQuest cosplayers next weekend. ;W;
And oh GOD I've been editing a lot on the pictures.. So people; don't get disappointed when you see me IRL.. My body is not near as slim and trained as it seems on the pictures.. ;D

Enjoy

ElfQuest makeup test.

Hi there guys.

I was finally able to do a makeup test, with my lovely Rayek in company.
It was rather hard to do a makeup of a beautiful and manly man at the same time.. Specially when you are a girl. XD
The light in the toilet and my camera weren't best friends ever, so it's kinda hard to see my makeup fully.. But I manged to do a makeup that both made me look manly (or as manly as I can get), but also (kinda) beautiful.. Or whatever.. XD;

I borrowed one of Lea's wigs, since I left mine at home.

And since it's me and Lea, nothing serious is happening until we had our fun.. XD Enjoy!

THIS IS BEAUTY!!! ;D

I also did a makeup test on my stomach... Well.. It didn't go so well, and I first planned on not sharing it with you, but I'll do it anyway.. :) Just so then you guys can see that I actually work on getting better. XD (if that makes sense to you at all!) XD
I think that I did a okay job on the shadowing, I just need to work a bit more on the anatomy.
The side looks HORRIBLE, I know!
The lines are to visible, and I really need to smosh it out a bit more.
AND I forgot to take out my belly ring. XD So gay, I know.. XD

Yeah I did a little sensor for you guys so I then I don't blind you with my bra. XD; I didn't have a top around.. So yeah... Live with it! XD

I've been working most of the day today to finish Cutter, and I'm ALMOST done!
The pants are done, (more or less), the shirt only need some small details, the sword had been repainted and I'm coloring the west.
I have to say, that coloring the west didn't give me the result I was hoping for, so I'll walk around with a brown/Orange west, but dudes...it takes money to find the right fabric.. And I don't have that kind of money, so I'll use the west anyways... AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME! ;D

I promised last entry that I would show you my ears, and I'm keeping that promise! :D
I LOVE these ears! The looks so lovely! They are big, but not too big! They have a great shape and I just... I LOVE THEM SO BAD!!... It's my first elf ears... forgive me! XD

Anyways...
Because of the color difference between my skin and the ears, I had to use some makeup to make it match just a little.
Other than that, I make some shadows just to make them look less flat...

I only painted the upper one. It's more or less for you guys to see the difference. :)

I've also been working on my stage cosplay for svs today, and I'm about 50% done! I'm starting to stress down a bit because I'm almost done with my cosplays.. Is really really nice, since I have SO many things going on in my private life, so I get easily stressed up and have mood swings like hell...
I've decided NOT to wear Isabela for Svs-con...
I'm not satisfied with my body AT ALL, and I know that I'll give people some serious nightmares with my jiggly ass XD
So I'll use her for a photoshoot because photoshop can save my ass.... literately. :D
I've found a really nice location that I hope I'll be able to use, and I'll try to put up some pictures as soon as I'm done with the cosplay. :D


Well that's it for now kids. Remember not to take candy from a stranger..

...I did, and look how I ended up! ;D

Stay positive! <3
