My Assassin's Creed OC Emilia Roberts! She's from a more steampunk universe, though.

I thought it would be cool to take a pick in the GoT throne that was available at Geek Out!

Maya Fey from Phoenix Wright! This was one of my first cosplays I've worked on six years ago, and I decided to bring it back out, fix it up and wear it again!

[krystalforgecosplay]

Pirate Sora (@trashcadash aka Junior) and Pirate Ventus (me)!

Junior assembled and painted their keyblade as well as designed Pirate Ventus and I sewed together the costumes and styled my wig!

[krystalforgecosplay]

First time styling a wig! This is going to be for a pirate version of Ventus from Kingdom Hearts!

The shoes for the Pit cosplay! Took a few tries, but I got them done!

So I just put everything together on my wings, but it didn't pan out like I hoped it would. I can pull them down into a folding position but they won't fully close unless i have someone behind me pushing the bar down as I pull the cording. Also, even though they do fold out, they do not go out to their full length, so they just kind of... sag. 😭

I would appreciate if anyone has any advise to fix this!

WIP of Pit's wings!

I’ve completed Pit’s laurel crown! With pics of the wig!

Not only am I working on the Pit cosplay, but I’m also working on a gajinka Rodan: biker gang style! Here is what I have so far for the horns. I forgot to take other progress pics but I used plastic cups, a wire hanger, and plastic bags to make the shape. Next, I used foil and plaster to help keep that shape (1st pix). The finally, I painted it with liquid latex to seal it all up and make it look nice (2nd pic)! I will soon be painting it with dark brown acrylic paint!

Look at my Roy-friend on stage!!!

Not AU-related, but definitely Zelda-related! Our talented seamstress Roy on stage as Ghirahim at Ohayocon’s Cosplay Expo!

You can find their work at @krystalforgecosplay !

Here's the video of the wings moving! When it's all done, I will have thin but strong rope that I can pull and attach in front of me for when I want to fold in the wings.

This is a start of a cosplay I have been wanting to do for a long time: Pit from Kid Icarus! I thought it would be fun to have articulating wings. My brother cut the wood and drilled the holes for the joints!

This Caped Keaton. He is a Robin Hood-like persona for Link in my and my friend's Legend of Zelda AU Growing Up Gerudo (@growingupgerudo).

Here is my completed Ghirahim cosolay!

Hi there~ Your Cosplay is too awesome~! I noticed the comment and makeup and wanted to ask what you are using? Have you tried Ben nye? I recently did Ice Queen from adventure time and mixed clown white in as a base and then did blue mixed over it. after I set it with spray and powder.

Aaaaaaaaa Thank you so much! ^_^ I am actually using Graftobian make up that I got online. And this is actually my 1st time that I have to paint my skin a different color so, no I have never actually used Ben nye ^_^’ Is it good and what is the price? (poor college student here so I need to budget haha)

@krystalcostumes

Ah I’ve never heard of Graftobian.

Ben nye varies in price. It isn’t the cheapest but it goes a looong way. I painted my face and chest for Ice Queen and hardly used any. It spreads very well.  This is the “Clown White” I used:

https://www.amazon.com/Clown-White-Makeup-1-75oz-49gm/dp/B003AT1G1A/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1477884627&sr=8-4&keywords=Ben+nye+clown+white

And this is the makeup sealer. 

https://www.amazon.com/Final-Seal-Matte-Makeup-Sealer/dp/B005MZ4A7C/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1477884781&sr=8-7&keywords=Ben+nye+grey Stuff is SUPER good, and also goes a fair distance in application. It does have to be followed by powder. Transparent setting powder is suggested but I just used baby powder. 

I can’t find a decent grey on Amazon but I spent about $8 on my blue. Hope this info helps : 3

[krystalforgecosplay]

Yes it really does! I really like the makeup sealer and thinking of getting it cause I have a bad habit of itching makeup off. ^_^' Thanks for telling me about this! ^_^

[krystalforgecosplay]

Makeup/wig test time! I kind of like how it turned out but I would like to tweek it a bit for the next time. I am thinking about cutting the wig in the front (if I have the money cause I do not trust myself to style it).

Also, I want to make the grey makeup pop some more. I was thinking of getting primer but as I am not well versed in makeup, what do you guys think? Any advice would help! ^_^

[growingupgerudo]

It’s almost doooone! ^_^

Reblogging it here for you guys to see and also I would like some help. As I said, I am not really good in the makeup department ^_^’

I would definitely recommend a primer, yeah - it’ll help the makeup stay on longer too! For other things to help it pop - look up youtube videos on contouring? You could use various shades of gray to make it a little more natural on your face.

Also maybe something for your lips too? Maybe white or a pale lavender would do well with his character.  

Other than that, you’re looking awesome so far! I absolutely adore your cosplay. 

[krystalforgecosplay]

Thank you so much! I will definitely look up contouring videos on YouTube! ^_^

And yeah, I couldn’t really find any white lipstick but I found white eyeshadow that was in pencil form…. but that didn’t work T.T If I still can’t find any white I will definitely use the pale lavender! ^_^

Thanks again! ^_^

[karpkarp-motherfucker]

I’m not sure what your budget it, but there’s this lipstick - both white and lavender! You can also use eyeshadow as a lipstick.Like if you have a good while eyeshadow, lay it on thick over fresh nude lipstick. Or mix it with a clear lipgloss if you want something shiny. 

[krystalforgecosplay]

Oo that is definitely within my budget! And it seems tasty! haha

I will see what I can do with the eyeshadow before I spend anymore money though.

Thanks again! You really have been a great help! ^_^
