Making My Nana Shimura Cosplay

In October 2019, I finally started My Hero Academia. I had heard of it so much but never got around to watching it. The thing that finally pushed me to watch was attending a MHA Jeopardy panel at Animefest that Kasey and Joseph had been in, hosted by Jalitza who I now consider a good friend and who took my pics below! After binging the show for a whole month, I was caught up to the current episodes of season 4, the latest season. The entire time I watched, I looked for characters to cosplay. Nana stood out. And with My Hero Con just around the corner, I knew I had to cosplay her.

Making My Maria Calavera Cosplay

As soon as I saw the episode that featured young Maria Calavera, a dual-scythe-wielding, silver-eyed all-around badass, I knew I wanted to cosplay her. Not only was her character incredibly fascinating, but her costume design was beautiful. I loved her colors, the Tabasco dress inspired attire, and all the little nods to Dia de los Muertos.

Making Our Overcooked Cosplays Part I: Mascot heads

Overcooked came out in 2016 and was an instant hit. I absolutely loved playing it together with Jason. I’d play it by myself sometimes when I’d get home after work before him cause I loved it so much. The sequel came out August 2018 and I decided it was time to cosplay some characters from it. Jason agreed to join me. The original plan was for him to be a chef and for me to be Onion King. However, in the months leading up to PAX South 2019, I ended up backing out of being Onion King. The task felt too daunting, considering I had never made a mascot head–let alone full costume–with foam before. So, it came to pass that we both became Overcooked chefs, specifically ones used heavily in promotional materials. Continue reading “Making Our Overcooked Cosplays Part I: Mascot heads” →

Making My Korra Cosplay

Back in February I announced I would be doing a Korra cosplay, specifically her Book 4 outfit. Unlike most cosplays I’ve done in the past, this was the only one where I didn’t have a single item beforehand that could be useful for the costume. Usually there’s shoes or some shorts or something to use as a jumping off point, but this time there wasn’t anything. Except my hair. Hurray dark-colored hair and tan skin! I got that going for me. But, for everything else, that meant I’d have to either buy it or make it. Continue reading “Making My Korra Cosplay” →

Making My Wanda Maximoff Cosplay

For Halloween – specifically the Halloween party at work – I wanted to do something recognizable while still being SFW. Lots of my cosplays can be pretty esoteric to people who don’t watch the same shows or play the same games as I do. As luck would have it, a lot of us at the company actually went and watched Avengers 2: Age of Ultron as part of a culture club event when it first came out. I couldn’t really see myself making a low-budget Black Widow in time (and didn’t feel like gender-bending another Avenger) so I went with Wanda Maximoff.
