Finishing this outfit for Lore Olympus Persephone was my con crunch for Dragon this year, and I'm really happy it got done! Full body paint combined with August in Atlanta was definitely a challenge, but it worked a lot better than I expected. Still having a lot of fun cosplaying from this comic and learning as I go!
I’ve been talking so much about my Ranni cosplay at fanimecon, just because she was so intensive, but on Sunday I did a more comfy cosplay for me and I just got these pictures back from one of the photographers who did a little impromptu morning shoot with me as Persephone from Lore Olympus! (He is on Instagram @ ginostar !) There are some more pictures that I’ll share another time but these ones were my absolute faves of the bunch and had to post right away 💖
A little update on Goldberry and me. We're getting by rather okay — thanks to your orders and the fact that you keep reposting our content♥️
The worst is now behind us, and now I have to focus on restocking our jewelry and dealing with other grown-up issues. I may even have time to finally start sketching our new designs (I'll be sure to share with you if I do sketch something!)
And afterward, I might even have some time to rest (but not right now, unfortunately).
I'm still scared, but I know you guys are with us, which means we'll get through it 💔
While I'm busy, my assistant will be making posts here. Be nice to her :)
I'm still here, keeping and eye on everything, reading all the comments and DMs, and you'll see me in our stories and update posts 😉
We're going to try to run our account a little bit differently than before, so any feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please support our effort, guys — it's the best support for us right now~
Cheth found another deity who they'd like to adopt as their new sister since she's way less of a pain in the butt.
I stumbled across @phantomarine late last year/early this year (PLEASE GO READ IT!), and fell so hard for the comic I had a NEED to do cosplay from it for my return to NYCC that I ended up postponing another outfit I've been sitting on wanting to do since my last one back in 2019 (I did start off with plans to attempt both, but horrible time management made me choose in the end for my own sanity).
The fact that trk_knight ALSO happened to be cosplaying a death (death-adjacent?) goddess from a webcomic the same day I'd decided on wearing Cheth was just a hilarious coincidence.
Now only if I had my fangs in (I ended up not bothering since I was masked up outside of these few photos) and the skeletal plesiosaur tote bag I'd wanted for my con bag (despite having the foresight to have it delivered to tkr's place UPS decided to hold it hostage so I didn't get it until AFTER the con -_-) and someone else to do the main missing component of this should-actualy-be-a-duo cosplay.
Bonus crossover pic under the cut, because even when one misjudges just how hot you'll get wearing a fur lined wool cloak inside a crowded building, it's still fall and definately not spring outside in my neck of the woods.
This was my first EVER attempt at working with body paint (mehron specifically). Worked out pretty well. I've been on the fence with LO for a while, but I feel like I'll hold a soft spot for it just because I found it at a vulnerable time.
