There was a whole photoshoot, but I need to contact Lionel about the images 🙂

Yay! always like to see photographers credited 🙂 It’s got me pondering though- how do you credit the costumer if a cosplay was not self made and you are at a convention…. I’ve even had people flat out refuse to say who made their costume.
Hoping against hope to be able to fit Liara in my luggage but the stress is piling up before D*C and I may not be able to make it.
Love the costume, and I know for a fact that this was self made, not store bought of bought from a costume maker. but agreed its always nice to give credit where credit is due.
Yep, made by me (just in case this reblogging cuts off bits of text) 😉 But I have had people outright state that my work was made by someone else…
Sigh. I don’t know how you make that distinction in a big crowded convention. I mostly try and focus on those who do care about the distinction (I firmly believe in following your own bliss but being honest about it*) and also appreciate those who appreciate my work regardless of where they think it came from. And to let the rest just go.
*For me it is the process and seeing a project to the end. If the character is very dear to me I also love to try and capture the character in photographs. To date the easiest has been Shae Vizla and Darth Talon. Speaking of which I really should get a tumblr set of D*C and C6

Star Wars: The Old Republic costumes seen at Celebration VI
OMG that bounty hunter!!
Thank you 🙂 The SWTOR presence was amazing 🙂
This was me at Celebration nearly the entire time. We did have a mass SWTOR group at the end of Saturday though which was good 🙂
So. We have this. And I have a terrific case of the fall overs.
Today I get to glue and hammer snaps into my armour and strapping. Kind of terrified. I may also get sanding and painting the very last of my props.
Above is my costume laid out, minus pressure hose, bodysuit, boots, gloves, balaclava. The light up parts are actually reflective tape as I am unwilling to travel with eletronics other than obviously camera.phone/computer related.
There may be a photo or two to update between now and flying out but probably not.

Took my little sister toy shopping today. After much browsing, she chose a pack of Hot Wheels cars. She wanted to pay so I gave her the money. As we were waiting in line, some dude waiting behind us asks:
“Buying those for your brother?”
My sister gives him a weird look,…
Beautiful.
I wish I was confident enough to do that. I’ve had more than my fair share of “those are boys things” or “hur hur what are you going to do with that, nudgenudge” and been vocal but polite or way too humiliated to say anything.
Most recent:
I buy an E11 Hasbro at half price because it’s a nice base to mod. I go to the counter to pay and see some really cute blingy charms.
Me: Heh, is it funny I want to buy both the uber sparkly blingy charms and the blaster in the same trip.
Counter dude: yeah but only the charms are for you right?
Sigh. I did politely tell him they were both for me, but I’ll just that the gun right now please. I still have plans for the charms, I’ll just buy them another time.
We won’t go into what this other dude did when I bought electronics for my lightsabre. I should have actually reported him for sexual harassment because it went way beyond simply being annoying.

I wish my foundation had a name like this!
I nicknamed my foundation corpse grey because it really did look grey in the bottle. Revlon Colourfast I think it was. Can’t find 000 foundation any more. I use powder only now. Though I have some of that colour match stuff, where it mixes in the pump? I have it set only to pump from one side. The lightest.
Though my medication now has given me so many freckles I look darker than I am. Ditto for the pink cheeks.
back to your regularly scheduled tumblr….
