I have been wanting to draw Shinobu for years and after watching Demon Slayer Infinity Castle I had to finally do it. I love an intelligent girl with an indomitable will 💜🦋

Back view and details are up in my Ko☕fi in the B l 0

I finally finished Mira's skirt after being stumped on how I wanted to handle the patterns on her design. Next up is finishing up the top and then making the jacket 😤 #kpopdemonhunters #mira #cosplay #cosplaywip

Figuring out my fabrics for Shinobu. Three projects in a row that have not been blue 😆

Gathering materials for my Katsucon project has me thinking about last year's project, my own take on Yui from Fushigi Yuugi!

Had a great weekend vending in Neko Con's artist alley for the first time. Neko Con was actually one of the first cons I ever attended many moons ago, so this was a personally meaningful con for me to be vending at. #nekocon #nekocon2025 #artistalley #animeart #illustration

All set up at Neko Con artist alley at table 66! #nekocon #artistalley #animeart #illustration #artprints

Jellyfish mermaid! Jellyfish are like nature's chiffon, so I had a lot of fun with the translucency and frills on the jellies 🪼 #jellyfish #mermaid #originalcharacter #characterart #illustration

Cosplay side by side of Cait Sith! I still have a few small details to add and the megaphone, but I'm pretty happy with the final results of this costume 🐈‍⬛📣

5. My most expensive cosplay: Rosalina as designed by @dessidesu.bsky.social
I don't track the exact costs of my costumes, but I'm sure that between the amount of materials used and buying them on a deadline, it's bound to be the most expensive

Stargazer lily fairy! I really love these flowers for their name and beautiful bright pink color. I want to continue working on original work more, even after I finish fall table prep. Any other types of mermaids or fairies you would like to see me draw? ✨

I've always been bad at cosplaying well-known designs or characters, but it's mostly because I'm attracted to designs that look cool and fun to make over popular characters. It's the love of the craft for me!

I understand the hate behind ai, I'm not shy about it myself neither.

That said, a ".ai" file is not ai, that's adobe illustrator: a vector-based art program. Please pass it on for people. I've seen multiple witch-hunts start up, which causes grief and embarrassment for both accuser and accused.

Finished Mira epaulettes! I made the epaulettes using an iridescent spandex I had left from my Cinderella clock purse over a fiber form base and metallic gold spandex over 2mm foam for the gold trim. I need to finish the skirt and top next, and then it is on to the jacket!

I have just enough iridescent spandex leftover from Cinderella for the accessories on Mira 😬 Really love how the shift looks on this fabric.

The start of epaulette number 1 on Mira. #kpopdemonhunters #mira #cosplaywip

First day of the Renfaire season! #renfaire #flowercrown

Getting back to work on my This is What it Sounds Like Mira cosplay. Doing some accessory work before getting back to work on the garments again. #kpopdemonhunters #cosplaywip

Who else is enjoying new Panty and Stocking? The newest episode has probably been my favorite so far. I think we are due for a Stocking focused episode though 🩵🍭 #pantyandstocking #stocking #animeart #fanart #characterart #illustration

Gonna be honest, I was initially very unsure of my body in this. It wasn't until I got to the shoot and the Molly-hype train pulled in that I started to feel like I did a good job.

Spider lily fairy! I’ve been working on a bunch of new original fantasy pieces and landed on doing a few lily flower themed fairies.

So glad I was able to get some water shots in Yui! This rocky lake shoreline ended up being the perfect setting for her.

Cait Sith blouse is done! Going to work on finishing the cape tomorrow.

Gold saucer theme has been living rent free in my head working on Cait Sith. I am -finally- finishing this! I need to do arcade photos at some point in this 👀

Thank you! 🦄💜✨

Otakon is next week already! 😱 I should hopefully have some interesting progress to share on Cait Sith tomorrow. Until then, have some images of Amalthea from last year’s @otakon.bsky.social
