Long time no post. Getting Violet Evergarden all ready for Denver Comic Con! Woohoo!

[cortnyerusch]

So, I was checking in on my account, and I saw THIS had happened.

Neal Shusterman actually liked the art I created based on his book Scythe????

I might have just fainted. I am so incredibly humbled and grateful for this comment, and for great authors to inspire us readers!

[cortnyerusch]

Your art is beautiful! 💞💖

Thank you so much, you're very kind

Look at my friend's awesome original character cast!!!!! This comic, F.R.E.E. is going to be epic when she gets to it!!!!

WE ARE FREEDOM

This made me SO HAPPY TO MAKE. Ever feel like you’re in a rut or have a block? Draw your OCs. 

So, this is the main cast of my original comic, F.R.E.E., (which only has 4 completed pages so far) and I have such a deep love for them all. This is actually the first time I’ve drawn them all in the same picture! :o 

This gang of rebels (from left to right) are Devra, Ellien (the woman kneeling), Blaine, Fray, Raiden, Eve, Odin, and Myota.

When your friend wins BEST IN SHOW for her excellent AMV work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The second AMV for this year's NDK AMV contest. This was created with the collaboration and help of my dear friend, Blaine. Sorry, not sorry.

One of two AMVs I created for this year's NDK AMV contest. Yep, that's all I have to say.

[cortnyerusch]

It baffles me how I can not be the same person that I was, just over a month ago.

[cortnyerusch]

And just like that, another NDK is just around the corner. Here's a tentative line-up of each day of cosplay, and the dates/cosplays are subject to change!

Friday: Sayaka Miki (???)

Saturday: San/Princess Mononoke!!!!!!!!

Sunday: Happy (Fairy Tail)

[cortnyerusch]

Finally finished (well, pretty much, anyway) with my Princess Mononoke cosplay. I am so excited to debut this at Nan Desu Kan this year! San has always been one of my favorite Ghibli characters, and I always knew I wanted to cosplay her some day. I'm particularly proud of this cosplay, since I made most of it from scratch. For the first time ever, I feel like I'm entirely prepared for NDK, THREE WEEKS early!

[cortnyerusch]

My mask, ears, and spear for my Mononoke cosplay. Yes, the spear isn't exact, but it was fun to embellish it a little :D

[cortnyerusch]

WIP of my Mononoke cosplay, to be debuted at NDK 2017. Going from one project to the next.

[cortnyerusch]

This was a lovely commission made for one of my dear friends, as a gift to another friend for an upcoming conference. This custom design was certainly a challenge, but we were able to play with new elements, like premade wooden shapes, foam contouring, and leather wrapping for the handle. This will certainly be one of the most memorable and enjoyable projects I've worked on this far.  (Sorry, my cat photobombed the shot!)

Sorry for all the uploads lately. Just finished recording The Weight of the World from NieR Automata on my poor, out-of-tune piano. I am obsessed with this music!
