For the past couple months, I have been hard at work on my first ever sponsored cosplay! I was contacted for an opportunity to create a cosplay/look to promote the launch of Finji’s new game “I Was a Teenage Exocolonist.” I already love Finji because of Night in the Woods, so this was a no-brainer!

I’ve never done a mashup cosplay before, at least not one of my own design. (Sylveon Bard was a mashup of Pokemon and D&D groups, so I guess that was technically my first mashup cosplay.)
