Am I the first ever person to cosplay Cronus from Class of the Titans show from Teletoon? Of course I am right on Tam. Hope you all enjoy this cosplay of mine. 😈🖤⏰
Here are some of the pictures of the Minoan/Mycenaean look I did yesterday! Mind you, it's all very generalized since I haven't made any clothing studies from these time periods yet, so I had just grabbed random clothes and jewelry from my closet that I could at least pass off as the ~vibe~ . I went for a pretty simple interpretation of makeup back then and ended up not really putting a whole lot on my face before the decorative elements, just a very thin amount of white foundation, but even so I figured my skin is pretty pale as it is that if this were historical I probably would have just been fairly bare faced anyway in a similar fashion. I tried to stay pretty close to how makeup might be applied back then and not go too anachronistic, and if I did it was for photographic or artistic purposes (namely, light contouring on my nose not for any sort of like, modern feature minimization, but to make sure my own Greek ethnic features weren't flattened by lighting levels or camera perspective)
Overall this was a really fun exploration of historic culture! Seeing the finished makeup on myself kind of brought over this cultural euphoria for me, even though many things have changed since ancient Mediterranean civilizations, there's almost a feeling of sameness in exploring the history of your heritage and seeing someone who looks or feels like you in ancient art. (But also a brief little disclaimer: the Mediterranean has been an extremely diverse region for thousands of years! I'm just one way of looking and that absolutely isn't representative of all people of Greece, neither then nor now!) I want to explore more historical fashions within this realm, and next time try a more extreme version of the makeup, something that feels more on the ceremonial side than casual like this one.

Drew my current Sky Kid outfit. Kinda regret how I did the scarf, but too late now. Still happy with how it came out! Gotta play dress up with the Yeti pants and see what other outfits I can put together.
You dare try to pass beyond these gates, mortal fool? I think not. But then again, you are welcome to try… It’s been centuries since I’ve had a decent meal~
Livin my cape flip dreams with this one. 😌 These shots make me so, so happy; you can really see the colors of the fabrics I chose pop and the lights in the cape. I can't wait to wear Nyx again. 💕

I’ve been talking so much about my Ranni cosplay at fanimecon, just because she was so intensive, but on Sunday I did a more comfy cosplay for me and I just got these pictures back from one of the photographers who did a little impromptu morning shoot with me as Persephone from Lore Olympus! (He is on Instagram @ ginostar !) There are some more pictures that I’ll share another time but these ones were my absolute faves of the bunch and had to post right away 💖
