Just reread Ice Fantasy by Guo Jingming and I feel like the drama did it such a disservice—none of the character designs were honored (I’m still super bitter they axed the hair=power even tho I understand why they did it)

Hello friendship! Just wanted to share some cosphotos. This past spring I watched Ice Fantasy on Netflix and decided Ka Suo's first outfit simply had to be made. I loved Yan Da's amazing eyeliner and eye makeup also. Most of the mains had awesome costumes and backstories, even the Ice Sibs that got nuked early on looked cool with their armors. However, had to pick 1 to start with so, I chose Ka Suo.

The costume took about 6 months to complete around work and varying amounts of procrastination but I am thoroughly pleased with how it turned out. I also worked with different fabrics than I normally do and had fun trying to contain shedding etc. However, in person the fabric choices were about as screen acurate as I could get being on this side of the pond. Hard work paid off at the craftsmanship competition as well - I won Best of Weekend and was so surprised! (Sorry, I shooped over my real name on the certificate for privacy reasons and they made a tiny mistake in spelling my name, but it's all good though!)

I booked a shoot with Don Dolce Photography and was super pleased with the process of shooting with him. In hindsight, I do wish I had a handler with me as this costume a lot to manage e.g. you have no idea how many times the long wig got stuck on the shoulder icicles etc. and there's no way Feng Shaofeng did anything in such a costume without a bunch of handlers to fix everything every time he moved.So much hair, so many things going on with this costume.

Anyway, I really like Don Dolce Photography's style, the finished products look great, and turnaround was a little over 2 weeks. I got my photos back before he posted an advert for shoots he will do at his next convention! This is such a huge deal as so many photographers just shoot and book more shoots at their next convention and this all feeds into the endless loop of long turnarounds if you get photos at all etc. Definitely recommend working with him, he's great to shoot with and you actually get a good number of photos that you paid for, not just 1 back. A+++++

Will definitely be ready for winter and want to shoot with this costume in the snow and possibly go to the ice castle for extra nerding. Maybe this requires a trip to Quebec City for the festival, Hmm!!!
