Sorry for the brief unannounced hiatus but I’m back! There’s too many social media platforms for me to juggle so I was focusing on Instagram and Facebook and somewhat twitter but now that twitter is becoming a fascist shitshow and I’m trying to move from Etsy to Bigcartel for my shop I’m gonna try to post my cosplays and commissions here more regularly now! Thanks for sticking around!

How do you choose commissions?

As much as I wish I could choose commissions, most of the time it’s people reaching out to me based off of my posts of things I’ve made for others/myself, or previous clients recommending me to their friends and their friends reaching out! Half of the time, unfortunately, those who reach out that I’ve never worked with before are seeking to lowball pricing or ask for exceedingly complicated designs or props that I don’t have the facilities or tools to execute in a way I feel comfortable charging for. And even when I do sometimes the clients then decide to change what I’ve done after they’ve approved it and said they liked what I did. It’s kind of a crapshoot honestly and it’s one of the reasons I’ve slowed down on doing commissions lately and have chosen to focus more on my online shops the last couple months to reset and be able to take care of holiday orders, which have been A LOT this year!

Finally got to do a proper shoot with my Scarlet Witch cosplay with @hayliejensphotography in DTLA and AAAHHH my hex prop looks even better than I hoped!! This was the first project I used my airbrush on and I can’t wait to wear it at conventions now that they’re coming back!! HMU for commissions!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted new cosplay content! Other social media like tiktok have been distracting but I’m still making new stuff! Like Fearne! I loved her in EXU this summer and I YELLED when I saw she’s joining the new campaign!! I can’t wait to see more of her journey!

Guess I’m gonna wear her out more often too 😝🤣 Cosplay, horns, and staff by me, photography by @hayliejensphotography!! And be sure to hit up our Instagrams for more regular content! (@actcostumes and @hayliejenscreative on IG!)

Here’s my completed Uravity cosplay from the current manga arc! This DEFINITELY was 2020 project after I saw Heroes Rising at the premiere in February, and I’m really proud of the growth I’ve made in my crafting, ESPECIALLY with the boots!! These were my second time making them and I’m so glad they’re walkable!! 😁😁 All the pics were shot by @sifrancopo on Instagram, please give him a follow!! 🙏🙏 He was super awesome and encouraging throughout my build so he deserves mad props, too!!

My thoughts on professional theater in the wake of #weseeyou. I’ve been inactive from it for your years due to harassment and elitism. This is why.
