Photographer: Koholint Cosplay Completed: August 2018 Hours Spent: Approximately 30 Debuted: N/A Why This Costume: The initial idea for another Pluto came from plans with Koholint (as usual lol).

Photographer credit: Chez Photo Oh man, talk about a big project! I decided to tackle this fuku for a couple of reasons.

Completed: February 2017 Hours Spent: About 40 hours How I made it: I know, I know. ANOTHER FUKU. I keep promising myself/y'all that I'm going to cool it with these, but apparently they're becoming one of my staples.

Completed: October 2016 Hours Spent: Approximately 30 Debuted: Anime North Texas Why This Costume: After A-Fest, the Cosmic Coterie crew decided we wanted to switch up our fukus a bit and decided we wanted to go Super!

Or resin? Or leather? The idea here is to ask yourself what type of work you excel at and emphasize it. For example, … Continue reading 10 Essential Tips for First Time Commissioners

You can check out the full … Continue reading Bows Tutorial – Cosmic Coterie
Completed: August 2016 Hours Spent: About 40 hours Debuted: AnimeFest 2016 Why This Costume: This was a Cosmic Coterie group effort to complete Super ChibiMoon for the lovely PockyPants! ChibiMoon is her favorite character, so when we had a chance to do some recasting, we decided that she should get a new fuku! How I made it: Since this … Continue reading Costume Notes: Super Sailor Chibi Moon
