Chimerical Cosplay Productions

Hi there! We are Chimerical Cosplay Productions, or CCP for short. We are a cosplay group based mostly in the Mid-West. Our large group cosplays currently consist of Marvel & Supernatural, with Disney and more to come! We also have plenty of smaller groups among us for a variety of shenanigans.

[chimericalcosplayproductions]

Hello everyone! Long time, no hear because life has been happening! Most of us took some pretty big steps in life and are just now settling into them. We're hoping to become a lot more active on this page with Tip Tuesdays, Fandom Fridays, a couple Throw Back Thursdays, and cosplay updates from everyone! These updates will be happening at least every other week. Of course, still expect videos on YouTube; we're hoping for more there soon!

To start off the new year (even if we're a month behind) we want to introduce all of our current cast! Stay tuned for those posts in the weeks before Naka-kon!

In honor of the release of Captain America: Civil War, we bring you the first of a monthly large group challenge to kick off our Fandom-Challenge Fridays! With the trend of challenging other cosplayers to come up with closet cosplays, we decided to challenge one another to closet cosplay Marvel characters not in our repertoires. Hope you enjoy!

If you have a challenge for anyone in particular, or something you want to see in the future from all of us, let us know!

Cast:

Fellix lookin' good as Captain America/Steve Rogers

Jewels rockin' it as Tony Stark (using a screwdriver to hold her hair up like any decent engineer)

Leon as Starlord, and he is all out of bubblegum

Roman as Thor confused about puny Midgardian hammers

Sam as Emo Peter Parker

Mandy IS Scarlet Witch

Coltin as "Not-So-Sneaky" Scott Lang

Hello! My name's Beth and I met you guys at Naka-Kon this year! My friend Valery and I were lady Loki and lady Thor, and you so kindly asked us to be a part of your marvel photo shoot. Just wanted to say how great a time we had meeting you all! :)

Hello, milady~ 

(Oops, I accidentally hit enter at the wrong time apparently and it posted before I finished. Midgardian technology….) I’m super glad I was able to catch you! We all had a marvelous time with the two of you as well. :) Hopefully we’ll see you at some more cons, feel free to come say hello at any time!

Yesterday was our one year anniversary of being on social media! We've been a group a bit longer than that and hope you all have enjoyed this past year. We've met so many great people and made many new friends. Thanks for joining us at panels, photoshoots, and shenanigans this past year. We look forward to seeing what this next year brings!

The First Blade

Created my own first blade prop for my Dean Winchester cosplay, based on dahliasheng‘s excellent tutorial. 

Based on the full-size paper sketch linked here, I created the wire frame using 18-gauge wire (which was all that was available at my local hardware store).

Sandwiched the frame between two thin (less than a quarter of an inch thick) layers of polymer clay, leaving excess in case I messed up.

Attached the sculpted teeth using short lengths of wire poked into the clay, then baked in the oven.

After spray-priming, I painted the entire piece with the pigment “unbleached titanium”. Once it had dried, I dry-sponged a layer of “yellow ochre”/”goldenrod” on top, then wet-sponged over that with “burnt umber”. You’ll notice I used a spare baked piece of polymer clay to test various painting techniques on before applying anything to the blade itself.

For the markings, I watered down some red acrylic paint to give it that faded look.

Finally, I wrapped the handle with suede cord, supergluing it occasionally, especially in trouble spots.

The whole process was actually very fun, and now that I’ve done it once I think I’ll go back and create a second one using everything that I learned.

And in August, Loki and Lady Sif stopped by the Kansas City Comic Con as always juliemarie12 and pbg146 respectively

They found the Midgardian event odd, but also found many people they knew.  Loki was far more intrigued by those who worshipped swore their devotion to her.

(Please let us know if you’re pictured with us! We’d love to credit you)
