Making Captains Shakespeare was relatively simple, the majority of the elements were purchased, with only a few needing fabrication. If you are looking for information and resources for your own Shakespeare, or vaguely Victorian underwear cosplay (that’s a normal thing,…
Back when I started streaming on Twitch, I decided in a wandering conversation with chat that my community was in fact a Legion of Airship pirates, which made sense at the time. Of course we were modeled after the best…
One of the biggest challenges for my Vera from Monster Prom cosplay was to create her snake hair, and I am really pleased with how it turned out. For anyone who is looking to make their own snake wig this…
Monster Prom is a super fun game, full of charming and terrible monster protagonists; but when it came to picking one to cosplay there was no question it would be Vera, who doesn’t want to be the best business gorgon?…
