After years of waiting, the local convention finally returned and I was able to do cosplay again, and I decided to go as Dollightful's Sakura doll.
The dress and wig are made entirely by me, both of which I've already posted about separately. And I managed to find a perfect match for the sandals on Amazon, though they ended up being a little loose so I had to shuffle-walk everywhere because I had no time to add extra strap notches or get insoles (they arrived literally the morning of). Thankfully, I learned my lesson from the last time I wore heels to a convention and brought trainers, so I didn't have to suffer the murder shoes the entire time or get blisters on the soles of my feet (again).
The wig was, unsurprisingly, heavy. As well as awkward to wear, since I had to hold it back when leaning to look at something and crouch instead of bend if I wanted to reach something low lest it all fall forward. The glue-gun method I used to create the wig also made it feel more like a helmet from all the glue stiffening it, stopping it from sitting right and squeezing my head if I wore the securing band for too long.
Despite the issues presented by my wig and shoes, I'm still really proud of how the costume turned out and received a lot of compliments and requests for photos while at the convention. I even won the cosplay!

Let's make some magic!
And with that, Kay Wren is complete! While I'm not 100% satisfied with certain aspects of the costume, I'm overall quite pleased with how it turned out! Unfortunately, I didn't quite get my shoes in any of the photographs. Oh, well!

When I was stalking @dollightfully instagram for more Kora references I found that her mom and sister made 2 other mermaids❤️❤️❤️, they seem to be her sisters, I decided to draw her too even though I realized they don't have names I decided to name this Bubble I didn't find more images of this last one outside the instagram post, I would have loved to see all the details of this #mermay #mermay2022 #mermaid #siren #sirena #mermaychallenge #dollightful #blue https://www.instagram.com/p/CdLoWZbMx2-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WIP of my first ever faceup using techniques that I learned watching @dollightfully @moonlight_jewel_dolls and @hextian videos.
No Mr. SuperClear, just pastels, Citadel model paints and Warhammer 40k transfer sheets. I'm so proud of how she is coming out. Not bad for a first try

Progress on my Dollightful Sakura wig. The hair is done, now I just need to style the hair, add the decorations and trim the ends.
Following a YouTube tutorial, I used hot glue to create and then stick the wefts to the wig cap, though I did sew on the outer layer to make sure the edges of the cap didn't show.
The entire thing is heavy (bending my DIY stand) just from holding it. I haven't tried to wear it yet, so I have no idea how heavy it'll be to wear (or warm).

And creepture 3 is complete. Took my time on this one because my brain is annoying. I hadn’t planned on changing the coloring of any of the creeptures, but when I saw the Banshee, I knew what I had to do. Years ago I watched a doll repaint video from @dollightfully , and ever since I saw her banshee, that’s the way I’ve pictured them. I thought about changing the dress to white, like her doll, but I thought that might be a bit too much. All in all, I love how she turned out. #SupernaturalSAL https://www.instagram.com/p/CgO6wQ3rNuo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

a commission i finished off today for @glassofpumpkinjuice who very sweetly asked me to draw whatever i wanted!
if youre someone with the same youtube recommended as me you might know that this is one of Dollightfuls most recent custom dolls! I've wanted to draw one of her character designs for a very long time and this commission seemed like a great chance to finally do it! ^_^
