#<< tag for cosplay reference

[hopecomesbacktolife]

recently read the time magazine special edition “Star Trek: inside the most influential science fiction series ever” a good portion of it is stuff a lot of fans probably already know, but there was some info in there that was still new to me, and lots of gorgeous photos that were amazing to see in print, too, so still definitely an enjoyable read! (apart from a couple instances of weirdly superiority, bro-esque writing, but that only occurred in one of the articles, thankfully)

one thing I really enjoyed about the visual aspect of the magazine though was some of the costuming visuals! For example, these crisp shots show not only the tailoring and seams but literally the construction and stitching on the TMP era uniforms 😍😍 (check out the stitching on the sleeve ranks in particular!!!)

next up, some extremely cool science things I didn’t know about and love that they exist:

this shot is excellent both for De fans (me) and also for seamstresses and costumers (also me!) because of that excellent, and rare, shot of the back of a TOS women’s uniform with seams and construction visible… positively a seamstress dream!! such a good garment structuring reference 👏🏻

also, an up close on one of Quark’s outfits that shows definitively that this outerwear jacket is, in fact, rainbowy tweed!!, a fashion statement I vote we bring back:

(it reminds me of this couch and blanket from my childhood, it was extremely 1970s and I loved it)

this little Kirk & Spock character comparison panel appeared next to an excerpt of Shatner’s writing, and to me it would fit in perfectly with those “who’s dating who” activity panels etc in magazines like seventeen, which, excellent execution, that’s such a good vibe to have considering The Premise 👏🏻

speaking of— I wish they’d mentioned slash fic, The Premise, early fanfic mail chains etc waaay more than they did (and for that matter, highlight way more just how important and vital the women Trekkies were!) but hey, at least they mentioned Spirk shippers, along with other parts of the magazine mentioning queer and nonbinary+trans rep in trek. could’ve/should’ve been more, but—

anyways! It’s still a fun magazine to read through and has lots of fun images even if you’re already familiar with the stories. (did you know there used to be an Enterprise shaped landline phone you could buy? I didn’t, and now I very much want one lol) it also highly benefits from having article writers of multiple genders, so there’s that, too. 🖖🏻

FNAF: Tag Team AU is my take on the game's timeline wherein Michael Afton and Jeremy Fitzgerald are working in tandem investigating the oddities at Freddy's as they search for the man behind the slaughter

Been kind of down lately about my art, so here's some kind of old art that I'm kind of proud of.

The ones I'm most proud of are kind of scary, so content warning for scary imagery. If this possibly offends anyone for a good reason, I'll take it down.

I was in a bit of a weird headspace while making these two. The first one on the left was based around a Radiohead poster I recently gotten.

The second one was made while listening to a song called Maple by lostrushi / Lucy Bedroque (Another content warning as the picture that is used has someone hanging). The song kind of reminded me of a sprite that I swore I had seen somewhere on a thumbnail of Saya from Saya No Uta, so I tried to recreate it from my memory. Then it turned into... Whatever I created.

Feeding you guys headcanons whilst I work on something. Anyway..

Josh Sauchak headcanons‼️‼️

(Take this figure of him I made the other day but forgot to show as well)

(Headcanons that are marked with ‘established relationship’ mean that it’s in the event that it’s with a lover!)

- PARALLEL PLAY PARALLEL PLAY PARALLEL PLAY‼️‼️ IT IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF HIS LOVE LANGUAGES‼️ Sometimes hangouts will usually involve the indulgence of hobbies within the vicinity of who he’s hanging out with.

- (Established relationship hc) At the start of the relationship or when you instigate physical affection with him, he tends to tense up and at times even shift and give a little bit of space between you two. Upon talking the whole ordeal out, he’ll try to be more open to receiving physical affection such as letting you put your head on his shoulder.

- (Established relationship hc) Observant of your feelings and behaviour. Later on in the relationship, it gets to a point where he can pick up patterns in your conversations with him.

(E.g my partner picked up on a pattern with me anytime I yapped to him about Aiden Pearce. In his words: “Aiden is so Interesting to analyse :3!!!”, “Am I overanalysing a mediocre game character from a mediocre franchise.”, “I LOVE AIDEN PEARCE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”).

Sometimes the observant behaviour isn’t all that positive, as with this he jumps to conclusions in situations that you are under distress.

- Penguin pebbling. At random occasions he can gift a trinket to those he’s fond of, whether it be a random feather or stone, a scrap circuit board that he turned into a keychain, a piece of leftover scrap metal from building with a texture that he’s fond of, etc.

- Goes quiet when someone vents to him but contributes a word or two every so often as he feels bad not giving an answer

- Emotionally unpredictable. His resting face and tone makes it hard to tell how he feels, and at times can go quiet minutes after being talkative, which can leave you with a mixed bag of whether or not he’s pissed, neutral, happy or just wanting to be quiet.

- On a rare occasion or two will show physical affection to you or to those he’s close to without going tense. It can involve hand holding, hugging, playing with one’s face (tugging at your cheek, squeezing them or just simple caresses), resting his head on one’s shoulder & playing with their hair. But it’s only when he’s the one giving it.

- Had a habit of hoarding things like plushies or figures when he was a kid, and usually kept them in a space where it was an unorganised chaos that only he was able to transcribe. He was able to learn to let go of the hoarding habit, but still does it on an occasion or two.

- Give him a new pair of shoes that he’s comfortable with and months later they will look messy and well worn (e.g. white trainers? Nah those things are coming back slightly dirty and a bit yellowed)

- When any figures or display collectibles arrive, he has a specific ritual that he remembers off by heart and has been doing it since childhood, in which he’d rearrange his space, clean his hands and put on a set of gloves to delicately place and display the figure as to not damage it or ruin it

- An absolute sucker for chewing things when he’s bored. When he was a kid he chewed on packaging peanuts because the texture stimulated him. He eventually learned to drop the habit for more better alternatives like sweets or chewelry.

- At one point was really bad at keeping his room clean due to his hoarding habit that when he saw his friend’s room that was tidy and organised looking, he got envious and proceeded to clean his room; ranting from his shelves, floor, bed, tables and desk.

- Secretly likes to cook but is scared of what the other dedsec members might think of it as he isn’t the type of person to add seasoning.

- (Continuing from previous) Likes to ease out of his comfort zone with flavour slowly by researching, then proceeding to season the food he makes with the stuff he currently has at home.

- Had a special interest in glitch wars that lasted for 2 years. (Glitch wars as in the videogame in the in-game universe)

- (Established relationship hc) Sometimes will randomly approach you and declare that he wishes to squeeze your skull affectionately.

- (Established relationship hc) one time you made a specific food item for dinner. He fell in love with it. Only thing is he will only eat that specific food item if you make it, because he only likes it that way. Any other form it is made he will immediately decline it, even if it’s from a restaurant.

Yo cosplayers have you got any tips on how to make Francis Mosses's hat?

I'm very new at cosplay btw be kind

[angel-blood-art]

i didn't think too hard about this one i just thought "what if my oc yang had a gore magala halloween outfit" and i kinda made stuff up from there

[handdrawnfantasma]

some vaguely modern-ish Tillys (honestly? i just wanted to draw outfits) and also a bonus Ryse because she is not getting out of the music pun shirt club just because she has horns, Tilly would pay extra just to have buttons put in somewhere uwu*

(Ryse belongs to @neraiutsuze)

idk how to explain this but i keep buying outfits and dresses with the thought process of “oh! this could totally work for x character!” as if i need 40 costume changes for each cosplay???? at this point ill have more costumes than regular clothes ���

[nocaffeineforlevi]

So I'm going to a Doctor Who Convention this weekend and I not only just found out that I was selected as a panelist for two panels (I signed up because my mom suggested it and I, like a fool, listened) (I am actually excited though, don't worry) but also that they are going to be showing The Star Beast when it comes out. I should've expected this but I was keeping my hopes low so I wouldn't be too disappointed if it didn't happen.

On a funnier note I am panicking because one of my cosplays is almost impossible to sit down in chairs while wearing it so I'm going to have to strategically pick out which costume I wear on which day because of this.

[oracleofsecrets]

fuck it I’ll post my thoughts and progress here. Never done a proper cosplay before but after I made Tri for funsies at the beginning of October I was like haha what if….? Also bc I couldn’t think of a costume for Halloween, despite not currently having plans for Halloween >.>

I’ve gotten a lot done just figured I should Log It somewhere that isn’t just my friend’s dms lol

Couldn’t be assed to make a white dress so I bought one from. Idr where. Had briefly considered buying Zelda’s vest-like thing from this like modesty clothing site called Veiled I think? It seemed pretty quality but I wasn’t sure if I could style it right or if it was a good color or feel, and it was outside my budget

Couldn’t figure out what to Call her vest thing to even find patterns to buy, but I ended up getting one on Etsy for a “long cardigan” that I figured I could just make Longer

Unfortttttunately, the A0 pattern file was locked, so I couldn’t try to get it printed at a print shop for like blueprints size, but the person who called me said they can’t print This big a size anyway. So I had to deal with taping together a bunch of regular printer paper. Wish I’d have thought to use that guillotine paper cutter thing at work…

For the cape I wasn’t sure what kind of fabric I’d want to make it out of. Partly bc I’m Quite New to sewing lol. Even though Zelda’s wearing it, it’s Link’s cape, so I don’t imagine it’s Super fancy, and it should be lightweight. Wool could’ve been cool but that is Very Much out of my price range lmao

Found a nice free (if you email them… kinda annoying but could be worse) pattern online for a hooded cape that I think will work p well. So with that, I decided to make it out of fleece. It’ll double as a nice comfy cozy thing to wear around the house for fun too hehe

Then I was off to the fabric store weeeeee. I was trying to decide for a while between some pink knit fabrics (p-something? It seemed sturdier than Jersey knit and wouldn’t look too cheap) bc her vest isn’t quiiite pink but it’s not full on purple either, and none of the purple fabrics looked close

but thennn I found this clearance/last chance cotton in the perfect color :3 bonus of being able to put off learning to see non-woven fabrics lol. Got some muslin fabric too bc I figured I’d need it to make a practice version of the vest (greatly paid off!)

This isn’t how much I bought btw these are just the bolts I was lugging around while deciding and then waiting for the cutting counter. They were quite heavy…

Oh, also decided (we’ll see if I regret this later when I actually get to the Making It part) to make the cape detail basically like a fleece appliqué. There are probably better and easier ways to do it but i don’t really know about them !

Jeez ok this is getting long and this is just the “intro” djshdjfjd
