Otakon was amazing. Finally getting to wear my Azem summoning circle gown in person was so much fun. I had multiple people stopping me to gush over my costume and people from HERE telling me they saw it online and were so excited to see it in person. I haven’t been to a con since right before the pandemic and it was so nice to come back to a space I love so much. My goal of someone knowing what I was without me explaining was reached (thanks to the ffxiv photoshoot)! And I can’t wait to see the pictures of the group photo shoot. I added more details to the costume and (minus the stars which were my nemesis falling off the whole day) everything was perfect.

The gown itself took about 100 hours total. 85 originally and 15 to add finishing touches. The top is gold lamé and the chiffon overlay was ripping so I removed it. I have a whole costume breakdown under the tag for the original dress creation.

The necklace has an Azem summoning stone that my fantastic friends brought me from Fanfest which I repurposed. The most added details are the stars. I felt the black spots between the p design and the beams was a bit too big and wanted something to bridge the gap. I also considered adding my statics job symbols in the circles but they keep changing jobs XD

I added some more filigree details to the main Azem design in the front of the gown and individual rhinestones to each of the right angle v filigree and each of the small mirrored circles that make up the big circles because I’m extra along with a gold ribbon for the hem

Then I decided to add lights

Again because I’m extra

I don’t have skill with LEDs so I used individual 6ft fairy lights with tiny battery packs. I painted each battery pack black because the white shows through the skirt especially when lit up. There are about 75-90 battery packs I lost count at 2 am on Wednesday honestly ahaha. I looped them twice up and down so the effect would be less spaced out but I might edit that in the future if I figure LEDs and how to get more powerful ones because they weren’t really strong enough for 10 hours (you can faintly see them in the pictures above) and I kept turning them off when I sat. I used the same petticoat but added a hoop skirt because I was wearing tennis shoes (sadly sensible instead of fashionable) instead of my platform boots.

When people complimented me I would ask if they wanted to see my favorite part (which is spinning) and the laughs and gasps of delight were fantastic. Overall I’m so fucking proud of this costume. Thank you to all of you fab people from the FFXIV coordination who said such kind things I’m so flattered and lovingly overwhelmed. It was an amazing return to cosplay.

Took a break from Hypnos to wait for more materials which gave me opportunity to start working on Polites instead!

Slowly but surely getting somewhere, but very far from done!

Did a small try on with the outfit I gotten so far, so I just put stuff on to ish get an idea where I want it to go! I do wanna make small lotus eaters to have with me! Would be so adorable!!!

-

My plans are to finish Hypnos from hades game and polites from epic musical for February next year! Then Hermes for May the same year!

Will see if I start working on Achilles from hades game or maybe Odysseus from the musical, we will see~

It's been so long since I got in Viren cosplay that 3 new seasons of The Dragon Prince have released! Season 6 was equal parts amazing & emotionally devastating, & I'm hyped for season 7! Hoping very much that Netflix greenlights arc 3!

Makeup & video editing by @kryptidkhaos. Costume by myself. Music is "Don't Make Me Choose/Hearts of Cinder," taken from the season 3 soundtrack composed by Frederik Wiedmann.

Video shows a timelapse of kryptidkhaos applying makeup to renthony and helping them dress up in cosplay, set to the aforementioned song.

Accepting the fact that there is no way on God's green earth I will be able to make the HEV by next weekend so I'm opting for just plain ol pre rescas Gordy 🧡 my sibling keeps referring to it as "so you're going to be happy instead"

This year for Halloween I was Azems summoning circle. Immensely proud of how this turned out and that I get to summon my friends from around the world on a regular basis.

Edit: Here is a breakdown of how I made this costume! Thank you everyone for all your kind words, this is one of my favorite things I’ve created and I’m gonna try and get some more pictures of the details and updates I’m making on it!

Y’all EPIC the Musical Fandom need to see this!

It’s a great Cosplay Music Video for “There are Other Ways”! It was posted 3 weeks ago and somehow only has 9.9k views!

It’s short, but the choreography and costumes are great! Please go and show this talented, underrated creator (Mælibé) some love!
