If Raiden Shogun wielded a steel katana, this would be it!
I recently got a custom made katana from swordsofnorthshire.com and it was so cool to be able to choose every material and component! Of course it has purple bindings and even my name is engraved on the blade!
I have always wanted to own a real katana and to be able to custom design one after my personal aesthetic is really special.
I couldn’t wait to get photos with my katana so I stuck a few in while cosplaying Ei. I think this sword suits her very well, too!
Big shout-out to #SwordsofNorthshire for creating this gorgeous piece of art for me. They have a huge selection of Japanese AND Chinese swords as well as replica (but real, ya know) weapons from movies, anime and video games. I’m already eyeing some of their Chinese swords for another Wuxia cosplay
Thank you for the Beidou love! I hope those of you celebrating the Spring Festival are enjoying a wonderful day! Welcome to the year of the Tiger!
Have another Beidou photo to celebrate the #LunarNewYear! What is it about a partially covered face and one sultry eye showing that gives off so much sass? I love Beidou’s vibe so much. Between her, Camilla from Fire Emblem and Jessica Rabbit, I certainly have a type
Once again, I didn’t make this costume, it was loaned to me by my friend @indra_rojas who hand-made it! You can spot various @cosplayfabrics products in this outfit as Indra is ultra creative and works with me on developing the fabric and trim collections, always incorporating them into her work☺️❤️
Happy Lunar New Year! Captain Beidou wants you to kick ass this year! Gosh, I hope we all kick 2022’s buttocks well and good!
So I finally joined the Genshin waifu-train by borrowing my dear friend @indra_rojas’ beautiful hand-made Beidou costume! I always thought she was a cool character and Lunar New Year is a great excuse to do a themed photoshoot. I’m highly overworked at the moment so a backdrop and some sheer drapes was all I could manage this time, but I still really like these photos and will share a few more! These two are my faves tho! Also, I know my wig is too long but that’s what I had on hand for a quick style job. Indra’s costume is so pretty and I especially love that she used a darker red taffeta for the dress (?)!
It was fun to cosplay Beidou and she is not the last Genshin character I will dress up as! The world of the waifus is vast and there is no end to gorgeous designs and characters! I am curious which Genshin character you’d like to see me as besides Beidou? Lemme know, it might happen
I gotta fix Gorou up (hot glue failed me in the armor Velcro department and I’ll never forgive or forget) but I hope to get to shoot with some this spring!
Finally got to shoot Gorou and so thankful to @valdrein for taking photos it was such a chill day (in both senses of the word cause— bare midriff in CaNaDiAn JaNuArY )
Canine Warrior after working on this costume all winter break I was finally able to shoot and wear Gorou!
I don’t usually do highly detailed costumes so this brought me a little out of my element but I’m happy with the result so far (a few additions/upgrades/the bow needed in future lol)
I’m really just finishing a few small trinkets and waiting on extensions to add to the wig a bit
This was a real challenge: hand cut vinyl press in’s of really tiny and delicate designs, odd structure to the vest, layers of details I kept missing cause Genshin ♂️ Really liking the result tho!
Wishing you all luck in pulling #thoma me? I’ll be grinding for primogems cause I haven’t played in a month and don’t have enough for a single wish #genshinimpact
Costume was provided by @cosplaysky Review to come. Wig and headband are by me.
Just your friendly neighborhood fixer guy! If I were a Genshin character it would probably be Thoma…
Just a sneak peek! Got to try on my costume from @cosplaysky (who sent me this outfit- minus the wig and headband in this photo). Review and more to come
So I slipped and accidentally fell into #genshinimpact oops I couldn’t resist doing a little contest for Bennett (while waiting for my Childe wig to arrive ). Perfect game for me right now tbh, I’m loving it
