“Once Upon a Time” by (Miss) Maddie

"When Nicole said she wanted to do fairy tales for Miss Maddie’s 9 month session, I never imagined just how incredibly adorable and amazing the images would turn out! She spent weeks and weeks searching for the perfect pieces for the shoot, and we spent two hours the day before setting up sets and discussing strategy. At 9 months old, most babies don’t have an incredibly long attention span, and we knew we would have to work quickly to ensure that Maddie was happy and that we got the shots we wanted."

"The day of the session went better than we ever could have planned. Maddie didn’t mind the non-stop clothing changes, and seemed entertained by all the sets! She especially loved the “big bad wolf” and soap bubbles! And then, at the very end, she fell asleep, giving us one last shot to wrap up this perfect session, a shot we hadn’t even planned on and threw together very last minute!"

[Previously: August 10, 2011]

"I loved making this costume despite the bruises, blisters, and blood. It seems I say this after completing every project, but this is hands-down my favorite cosplay to date."

"Despite my hatred of sitting at a sewing machine, I made a pact that I would create the entire costume from scratch. I wanted to take full ownership of final product so I could proudly say that I made everything myself. Online tutorials and advice from friends were pivotal to finishing the costume, however, and I’m thankful to everyone who lent a hand."

"I started the costume about seven months ago, although I mulled over its construction for more than a year. One of my Minnesota friends – Rachel Dangerfield – aided me in fabricating the corset and pants. Finding fabric was tough, as I was going off very early concept art and couldn’t tell at the time if her armor was leather or canvas. The color was suspect too – sometimes appearing tan, and others a warm grey. I had to dye some of the fabric to get the right tone."

"I dressed my cat, Sir Didymus, up as Thor, to match my favorite “Thor Cat” print by artist Jenny Parks. The mini-Mjolnir and shoulder-thingies (uh, technical terms) were printed on our PrintrBot Jr. 3D printer.

Although he looks miserable, he was actually fine with the ordeal since I put a lot of catnip on his Mjolnir."

"We were down in Leipzig last weekend for the Book Fair, which also has lots of cosplayers! The location is amazing, and the light perfect for filming!

Unfortunately I had just received my new lens one week prior to the event and have to adapt to it, so sorry for the all that shaking! I obviously need more practice, which will come as I have loads of cons still to film this year :)"

This is probably the most impressive Rogue Cosplay I’ve seen yet. Rogue circa mid-90’s with the full-body green & yellow suit, and half-bomber jacket is the best Rogue costume design.

"So at Wondercon my boyfriend and I finally cosplayed Bleez and Kyle Rayner~!

This costume was super uncomfortable in so many ways, and it ended up being much more of a challenge than anticipated. I’m currently remaking the entire thing from the beginning for Fanime, so fingers crossed it turns out a little more manageable!!"
