Making Stuff

Hi diddle dee dee, an actor's life for me~

This doll took a lot longer than expected (about half a year due to various life events), but everyone's favorite vulpine gentleman is finally here. Better late than never. :)

Some work-in-progress photos and my rambling about the process are under the Read More if anyone's interested.

It's Pokemon Day! I initially wanted to finish this Lida cosplay for Katsucon but ran out of time. I think today marks an even better occasion though.

新年快乐!

I made a cosplay of Xiangling's New Year's Cheer outfit for Katsucon this year, and the timing couldn't have been better. Wishing you all good health and prosperity in the Year of the Horse.

Happy October. Between the anime coming out and the Halloween event approaching, this sure is a big month for twst. Of course I had to join in on the fun too, so here's one I've been working on for a while: dream Riddle! I was really excited for him because it's a great design, but also because this is the first time I've made a custom "stand" for a doll in the form of his little throne.

Speaking of firsts, this is the first time I'm not including the full collection in the group shot (partially because I'm running out of space but also to avoid spoilers). If you're interested in seeing everyone, please check the "doll details" tag on my blog. :) Additionally, materials and progress photos are under the Read More.

Malleus has finally been invited to the party. :)

I love how ornate this outfit is and how much it references Maleficent's aesthetic. There was a lot to do between the horns, tail, spikes, and so on, so I included some progress shots and descriptions below the Read More this time for anyone who's interested!

Disney released this stunning doll for the 70th anniversary of Cinderella, and I just had to make her outfit for myself. More photos to come, but for now I just wanted to post a side-by-side and some close-ups because I love all the little details.

Happy birthday to Silver! I told myself I'd wait until he gets an appropriately princely outfit to make him, and the Dawn Armor did not disappoint.

I made Cerberus Ortho! This was such a cool look for him, and I think it suits him very well. The ultimate dream would've been to use functional lights and molded plastic or even metal for all his parts, but I had to make do with the materials and skills that I have.

Another year, another Katsucon. I made a cosplay of the Second Sister from Black Myth Wukong this time. It was a bit of a hanfu redemption for me, since my first attempt to make one many years ago was such a mess.

Here's a quick side-by-side. I was really pleased with the fabrics I was able to get this time; I think they were a great match for the in-game model. :)

Happy anniversary to TWST EN! I've made doll versions of all the other hometown event stars, so of course I had to include Leona as well.

As always, here's a before photo and a group shot:

Years ago, I bought a little bell as a souvenir while in Paris. It feels very fitting that it's now decorating the staff of a Parisian.

This was probably the hardest doll to make yet because of the prop, the completely changed hair, and the bending of the right arm (which required an amputation and reattachment). But I wanted to use a Barbie I already had instead of buying one specifically for Rollo, so one does what one must.
