Into The Fold this last weekend was so unbelievably incredible - I had the most amazing time, met some truly wonderful people, and managed to come away from it all winning second prize for my Wylan cosplay??
Hearing everyone say how much they loved the cosplay was already magical enough, but to hear it directly from the cast - from Jack!!- took my gratitude to a whole new level. I had so many people tell me afterwards just how wild their reactions had been, and I’m just so happy that I could do Wylan justice! 🧪💣
The Chevalier de Lorraine and Wylan Van Eck are off to the big city in search of their respective boyfriends! I'm so freaking happy with how my costume turned out - I literally sewed everything myself except the stockings and the bow!
Will have some proper photos done later, but for now Chevy is discovering the delights of rail travel compared to horse and carriage...
Day 2 of Rose City Comic Con! I have wanted to cosplay Wylan ever since I first read Six of Crows -- I am drawn to character arcs that involve discovering one's own self-worth, and I was excited to read about someone who plays the same instruments I do. I had originally used a darker blue fabric for the vest, but it didn't seem quite right, so I tried again with a lighter blue jacquard fabric. I may also need to find different blue colored contacts -- they didn't show up clearly in person or on camera!
I didn't end up with any pictures from the convention itself on Saturday, but my friend was kind enough to take this photo for me in her apartment.

He is a young man with wavy red-gold hair who is wearing a cream-colored button-up with the sleeves rolled up; a light blue vest; a dark blue cravat; and grey checked pants. He is playing a flute and sitting in front of a bookcase. End ID]
My Wylan Cosplay at LBM 2023. I had such a blast there, we found the cutest GV friends to run around with and on sunday we even got reocognized quite a couple of times. The feedback was truly so heartwarming I can't wait to wear him again at ASOCAS soon <33
Hoi, I'm working on my wylan cosplay! I'm super excited to put this cosplay together. So far, I don't have much! But soon i will have his bag in the mail. I'm looking to attach blue butterflies to it. Referencing the cute butterfly scene in the show ♡ can't want to update you all on it. Right now, I'm trying to figure out his outfit. It's a bit of a struggle! But I'm sure I will be able to find everything eventually. (Jack Wolfe and I aren't related but we do look similar.)
With the ongoing campaign to save Shadow and Bone going as strong as ever, and with the upcoming billboard reveals in LA and London, I thought I’d share these photos of my Wylan cosplay and show some love for one of my fav book characters of all time! 🧪💣
Photos were taken by the incredible @/ alexander_rose_photography over on Instagram 🤍
In a desperate attempt to force Netflix to give us back Shadow And Bone, I sent vague threats about me coming to play some flute badly and loudly in their headquarters...
