#daisho 2017

Lost snapchats from Daisho last year! I’m a sucker for cute filters.

Here are the finished shots of my Rocket Raccoon! 

I had been slowly putting in work over the course of the year. It was a rough one for me with a lot of health issues slowing me down. So this is as done as I chose to make him. He’s structurally done and fully functional, but... There are a lot of aesthetic things I want to fix for the next big time I put him on. 

I have to get the white fur above his eyes into eyebrows, I need to fix his head-slippage and shorten the neck fur. I want to actually make the feet into “boots” and not just realistic paw slippers. I posted a little making of photoset too, if you want to see.

Some day I’ll re make his jumpsuit, but it’s passable for now. I want it to come up higher so I don’t need the chest fur at all, anything you can do to keep cool right? He’s pretty comfy but boy oh boy was I sweaty indoors.

The photos are from Daishocon 2017, which was a fun little vacation before the holiday stress started. I found the trash hat there (by cosplay moomoo). My wicked awesome badge was by @not-afurry. Go check them out!

Hey guys! I just got back from Daisho Con, which was my FIRST CONVENTION EVER!! At my first con ever, I also COSPLAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME!! 

I had so much fun and loved it! I think three of my favorite moments were: 

Seeing Saitama run up to the area my friends and I were sitting at in a con competition hall, my friend shouting “save us Saitama” and him responding after 5 seconds with “where the f*ck did I sit?”

A little girl excitedly running up to me and my friend (who cosplayed as Amethyst and Pearl) and asking to take a picture with us; She was so excited she couldn’t stop shaking and her parents were super happy

Accidentally getting hit by luggage of a distressed guy who apologized and said he was late to a panel; my friends and I cracked jokes and helped calm him down a bit, and when we got to the first floor we hear a guy say to him “dad where’s the dog?!” distressed and then I realized it was Zach Callison - the voice of Steven from Steven Universe. I was in an elevator and cracking jokes with his dad while I was wearing a Garnet dress. THAT MAN KNEWWWWW

but I absolutely loved it and I hope to go to more cons! my friend/senpai @avengette and I took some quality steven universe pictures and I’ll post them later once the photos arrive. After that, then I’ll post my extra stuff!! 

... Hey, aint I that horse from Horsin’ Around?
