Once again Hellboy and his team stopping the destruction of humanity. I went for a simple prop of the in-tact Crown of Bethmora using glitter foam and sealed with mod podge.

Since day 13 of #fallforcostume is #blue and I've already posted the heck out of Dolores, I'm going with my #nuala cosplay! This was a big year for her also, since wearing her for the masquerade at #wondercon was my first time actually competing, and even though I just got an honorable mention from the con and a workmanship award from Costume-Con, it was still amazing for my first masquerade! Nuala was one of my first big, complex projects, since the outer dress is entirely silk and I sewed it all with French seams before dyeing it, and had to make the undershirt and skirt and belt to all cooperate with the weight of the dress. (and my wig never wants to behave. I think dip-dyeing it on the stove damaged the fibers slightly so it's always tangling) #fallforcostumechallenge #cosplay #princessnualacosplay #princessnuala #silk #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #hellboy #hellboy2cosplay #hellboy2 #guillermodeltoro (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfIf2Dj-AR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1acb0mjouze8n

I just realized I've never done an actual #sidebyside for my costume and the original! #cosplay #princessnuala #princessnualacosplay #myface #hellboycosplay #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #hellboy2cosplay #thegoldenarmy #sewing #dyedsilk #ombresilk #ombre (at San Diego, California)

Doing a little last minute painting on Nuala's book before putting it away! Istg this was the one thing the body paint on my hands would transfer to, so I've had to repaint it after each time I wore her this year. This time, though, I'm going to actually seal the paint so it can just be wiped off later! Now I just have to outline the lettering and flowers. . . #cosplay #princessnuala #nuala #princessnualacosplay #hellboy #hellboy2 #hellboy2cosplay #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #guillermodeltoro (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUQK_ngEkG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nzvdy7p9oqj4

Happy #fanartfriday 💕 Got to finish up this little #pencildrawing of #hellboy 2's #starcrossed #lovers . My Wife and I rewatched it recently and I still very much wish they'd had a happy ending (to the point that I have a headcanon now of the forest returning Nuala to life upon the condition that she work to prevent her brother's return. Perhaps someday I'll get to write it). #fanart #love #abesapien #merman #princessnuala #elf #elven #nuala #fae #faerie #romance #tragic #traditionalart #fantasyart

*screaming* The masquerade was long and crazy and everyone was amazing, AND I DID NOT EXPECT TO WIN BEST IN CLASS FOR TWO THINGS. Workmanship was less surprising since this was the outfit that they recognized at WonderCon, but I'm still astounded at the presentation award! #cosplay #costumecon #princessnuala #princessnualacosplay #wat #masquerade #conmasquerade #costumecon36 (at DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Mission Valley)

Despite feeling super unprepared and arriving super late, #LBCE was still a ton of fun. I went there to wear #Nuala and see people, and both were accomplished! The dress mostly stayed put, and I finally got the hang of the makeup. Next up, more work on the belt and actually making her book! (The real one will be much prettier than The Memoirs of Field Marshal Montgomery) #cosplay #longbeachcomicexpo #princessnuala #princessnualacosplay #hellboy2thegoldenarmy #hellboy2 #hellboycosplay #sewing #ombre (at Long Beach Comic Expo)
