#AniRevo2025

A photograph of a cosplay of Taapu from Final Fantasy 14, in the Dawntrail expansion. I am dressed as her, in a knee-length open green coat made of a loose woven teal fabric, with a series of horizontial stripes near the lower hem in light teal, tan, and dark green. I am wearing a fringed scarf, rippling with light and dark teal fabric around my shoulders going down. The jacket also is belted, with the scarf belted in as well with a black leather belt with gold accents. The jacket also has a number of leather details, fastened with metal eyelets with dark leather cord. I am wearing a white shirt and heather grey pants beneith, though most is hidden by the jacket and scarf. A second, shorter scarf is belted around my midsection with fake metal coins, gold detail, and teal fringe. I am wearing a shoulder length pink wig with pink furred rabit ears, wearing a KN95 mask, and holding my white blind cane. In the bottom left corner is the photographer's logo for Nerd Caliber.

This is my homemade Taapu cosplay from Dawntrail. As I am blind, I loved her inclusion- she's just a person working in the world who happens to be blind. And the fact she doesn't visually track the WoL when talking is A+! 1/2

We’re finishing up a huge wave of orders today! If you got a shipping notification, your order will be dropped off this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Did a scenic shoot at Garden of the Gods, with my WOL in Thavnairian set + DNC chakrams!

Can't tell you how uplifting this shoot was for me. My self-confidence kinda dropped over the months, but after a couple of months of working on myself, I'm REALLY excited to get photos back.

Credits in reply!

Costa Del Sol Cloud is almost done! Have been wanting to make this one since Rebirth came out. Feels kinda weird to be making a project relevant to the season for once lol. Excited to shoot some photos of the costume later this month!

For the ear color, we’re using a new bright green fur, but we haven’t added it to our listing swatches yet. If you need to order ears for this character and want the new color, shoot us a message on Etsy!

Finished a batch of fur orders last week, and we expect the next wave of dragon orders will ship by the end of this week.
Our slow season usually begins around this time of year, so you’ll probably be seeing more posts/updates from us soon. Thank you for your support!

Looks great! 💖

THANK YOOOU the ears (and tail!) are from @turtlesmithy.bsky.social ! And the wig is by my friend @toshigoni.bsky.social cause I could NOT have managed that myself

Two cosplayers at Katsucon 2025 wear fantastical outfits made from Yaya Han's Carpet Brocade, a pattern that riffs off of the original Marriott Carpet at Dragoncon. Yaya is wearing her Carpet Frieren, holds her staff, is kneeling on the floor, and is looking up at Cass. Cass is an original character, styled to look like a dragon with horns, golden claws, and a tail, with big wizardy robes in the same fabric.

The Dragon(Con) Robes are one of my favorite cosplays to wear as of late -- it's so comfy!

Glad as always to cosplay with @yayahan.bsky.social / sport her amazing Cosplay Fabrics materials & trims!

"Come, devil, come," she sang, "Call out my name." Let's take this outside, 'cause we're one and the same. Our gods have abandoned us, left us instead. Take up arms, take my hand, let us waltz for the dead.

This might be our first time seeing someone mention using it under their wig! Looks fantastic!!!

I haven't had issues, but comfort could vary depending on the tightness of the wig. Covering the wire with a piece of soft felt or batting would be an easy fix if there are any spots causing irritation.

Here is how to install our cat ears into a wig!

A photograph of myself in Taapu from Final Fantasy 14 cosplay, a rabbit eared character with a teal coat with many leather details, a black and gold leather belt, several leather pouches, a twisted teal and aqua scarf with dark green fringe, and a second scarf around the waist with golden beads and fringe. I am carrying my blind cane, as both myself and Taapu are blind.

Made Taapu, the blind scavenger from #ffxiv Dawntrail. As a blind FFXIV player, she really spoke to me.

A new green fur!!!! Shown with Mint and Jade for comparison.

Will add to our fur listings once we’re a bit more caught up!

However, if you are planning to cosplay a certain groovy bunny man and need to order soon, ask for “Dancing Green” in your order notes, and we can swap out the shade!

First-look!

This local little pagoda is one of my favorite spots to take pictures at. @cobheran.bsky.social did a great job capturing the moment, and I look forward to sharing more results.

A cosplayer stands in front of a glassy building in a set of wizard robes made from brocade that shares a pattern with the Dragoncon Marriott carpet. She has dragon horns, a tail, and gold claws

I’m definitely bringing my “Dragon*Con” attire to Anime Boston — what do you all want to see me wear for the other 2 days? 👀
