Eats, Shoots, and Leaves

I never get to brag about my sisters enough. My youngest sister, Arielle, wore her Codex costume to Geekgirlcon this year. She also wore it at last years PAX for a good bit, and is fixing it up so she can wear it again at this years PAX (along with a Quorra costume).

Arielle is awesome. She’s a theatre major so has had lots of make up and costume experience, including costume experience for a few plays. She made Codex here from scratch, from the shoes to the dress to the staff! (And she gets to put her natural hair color to such good use too.)

Arielle is going to help me with applying makeup for my Terezi costume this Saturday at PAX, and I am very grateful one of us is able to do this stuff! I’ve been trying to get her to make up a pricing scheme so she can make costumes for other people. ;)

I’m kind of stupid excited and apprehensive for this. I’ll be at PAX this year, cosplaying for the very first time. I chose Terezi from Homestuck because I needed something stupid simple to do, and a friend already had the horns and glasses! (And even though I think Terezi is not very well developed as far as her character goes, I love the IDEA of her.)

I’ll be getting the wig I bought styled on Wednesday or Friday. And given that my awesome hair dresser is doing the styling, I have no doubt it will look bitchin’.

Now I just hope people will be nice and won’t think I’m a crazy Homestuck person. There are normal ones out there…

The last of my Emerald City Comicon commissions!

This one ALMOST got left behind! Took the commission on Saturday from an incredibly nice guy, wanted a drawing of himself in his Resident Evil getup. Finished it about midday on Sunday (hence the not-so-good photograph, didn’t have access to a scanner) and was really worried when it was almost 6PM and the commissioner was nowhere to be seen!

Thankfully, when I was on my way back from registering for a table for next year, I spotted him getting a sketch from another artist and was basically “You! I have art for you!” So, about 20 minutes before the exhibitors hall closed, everything came out all right!

(From now on I’m taking emails or phone numbers from commissioners. I’d hate for someone to forget their art!)

Aaaah, I love that Rarity. Pretty much how I see her.

And I adore how they crafted the pegasus wings. So cute and stylized.
