Final art for Sailor Cosmos! I have been wanting to draw a design for her for years and finally made it a reality.

Final art for Frieren! I fell in love with the blue moon weed scene the moment I saw it, and was immediately inspired to draw a design for her 💙

Genshin squad goals 💙💛💜 I absolutely love the dynamic between Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu. Back when I was working on some Genshin designs they were on my must design list, and I especially wanted them to harmonize well together of the characters I drew. I think it would be super cool to see them cosplayed as a trio 😊

Ganyu with the cherry blossoms! Throwback to my qilin inspired Ganyu cosplay that I designed and made earlier this year. I wanted the skirt to have a soft cloud like appearance similar the qilin artworks in the game.

Anthy Himemiya rose bride redesign! 90’s shojo anime is a huge influence on me, so drawing designs for Anthy and Utena was inevitable. I fell in love with the concept of Anthy in a red veil with scattered rose petals and elaborated upon the concept from there. Check me out on Instagram and Ko-fi for more art and updates!

Fiber optic jellyfish dress progress! The bodice and jellyfish puff sleeves are assembled, so I’m starting to see the light (lol) at the end of the tunnel on this project. I still have the ruffled back piece and some dress assembly left, but I am so close to being done. Fiber optic fabric was kindly provided by Lumisonata. For more on the making of this dress, be sure to check out my Instagram and TikTok.

Final art for Mitsuri from Demon Slayer! I decided to go with the look that channeled the movement of her sword, so cascading ruffles trimmed in ribbons that mimic the look of her sword. Totally not intentional, but the cherry blossom neckline on her bodice also forms a heart. It was a happy design surprise!

Check me out on Instagram for more artwork and updates.

Working on a fiber optic jellyfish dress, using fiber optic fabric from Lumisonata! This is just pinned on my dressform to get an idea of how everything is looking. I’ll be finishing up the bodice next and after that I’ll be making some jellyfish puff sleeves!

Agrabah palace inspired Jasmine! Her palace is one of my personal favorites, so this was a fun one for me to design. The gold poof sleeves reference the gold tops of the palace towers, the pattern on the train lining references some of the patterns in the palace, and the lattice work trim references the lattice work on her balcony, as well. Her jewelry is also inspired by the spires on top of the gold towers.

Sketches for Princess Kakyuu from Sailor Moon! She’s such an underrated Sailor Moon character, and I’m so happy we get to finally see her in her sailor senshi form in Sailor Moon Cosmos. I had to draw some designs for her when she was revealed. I’m going to be drawing a princess gown for her final art, but wanted to give her sailor senshi form some design love too!

Static sketches for Mitsuri! I’m leaning towards the second option for the final art with the winged heart brooch from the first because of the significance later. The first look I wanted to try a sweet romantic spring inspired look for her, and the second is inspired by the movement of her sword. I spent some time looking at her statues for inspiration too, and decided to have fun with some cherry blossom details on both. I also had to find a way to incorporate Obanai and thought sneaking a snake detail on her sleeve was a good subtle route to go.

Complete Art Deco Loki! Art Deco is one of my favorite art movements, so I had a blast putting this look together. I was very inspired by Erté, my favorite Art Deco artist and designer, and this gorgeous green brocade from the Yaya Han Cosplay Fabrics line. When I am designing a cosplay look, I am often inspired by a fabric and this was an example of one of those times. Some of the shapes in the Asgard aesthetic have an Art Deco vibe, so Loki in an Art Deco look seemed like a natural fit. I look forward to wearing this look to a con in the future!

Final art for Noelle! Triell Freschi and I worked together from her sketches, and came up with a design that merged B and C together. I think she’s a nice mix of fancy and knightly! 🌹🗡
