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 👏🏻
Tumblr media
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)
Tumblr media
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 👏🏻
Tumblr media
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—
Tumblr media
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.

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)

closing two artfights! reached my final goal, which was a nice round total of 10 attacks for this first year 😊
Alcarnarmo (ThArtemisHunter)
Phoenix Tian and Kai Terranova (@mimicmerchant)
#artfight#draws#kai and phoenix are a little sketchy because i woke up this morning and went HUP HUP HUP LET'S BEEEE AMBITIOUS#but i'm glad to have managed what i did! ^^#and now to 1) close every tab i had open for reference images இ௰இ and 2) DIVERSIFY MY CHARACTER ROSTER WHOOPS#scraped by this year without designing anyone new; just pulling from past d&d characters and a witchsona l m a o#here's the thing#[🙏 innnnnhale]#two of those character options look near-identical bc at the time of creation; i was like 'yeah sure they can look like me -#- can i go build out the class features / start designing witch clothes now'#and sitting down last night with the intent of 'time to create new characters' made me aware that#oh! yeah my preference really is to build upon existing things (more of a personal interpretation than a perfect iteration)#which is why i like making fanart that doesn't stick *precisely* to the canon outline#or building cosplays that are tweaked and extended to my tastes (and why i like animated properties more than live-action)#(bc animated designs tend to be simplified and allow for a LOT of interpretation. live-action is fun to look at but -#1) the garment already exists. i don't feel the need to replicate an extant thing; and it's stressful to self-compare to professionals#and 2) i KNOW the community says 'appearance doesn't matter' but it. still. does. influence people's interactions with & responses to you -#esp if you're working from live-action & guess what! very few TALL east asian women in any live-action properties with my specific vibe 🙃#(tamar kir-bataar is a recent one but COME ON that's just my warlock with bonus axes bahaha))#big ramble in the tags today#uhhhh to circle back around: anyways! despite my preference for Variations On A Theme over designing OCs;#i now have some possible New Character routes to explore. exciting.

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.

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

rit dye anon again, that makes a lot of sense. honestly, cosplay is about building up your skill level bit by bit. even if you can't apply it this time, maybe it'll come in handy some other time!
When it comes to hand sewing denim, I'd say get some slightly more durable thread than the all purpose stuff, and invest in a variety pack of needles. Do some experimenting to see what works best for you!
I've actually learned so much from doing this cosplay project compared to other ones! One of them is the various better ways I could have -gestures- the pants. XD
But! I also learned how to knit fingerless gloves! And that if I want to add a tail it should not be that big! And so much about make-up even though I haven't tested that yet. >.>;;;;;;;
I'm honestly very proud of my Monokuma, considering my skill level. But! I'm learning how to do better next time!
I expect to definitely play around with denim between now and my next project because that sounds very wonderful and also I kind of want to start a denim jacket with patches and stuff? Which isn't cosplay BUT. Things that would apply elsewhere! So thank you for the information! (Literally all of my info on sewing denim being hard is from that Netflix competition show that Tan from Queer Eye co-hosts. So it's nice to learn that it's doable!)
