Needed a second pair of hands to get back on track so I called in a professional to keep me focused. My nephew’s over for the rest of the week to help out with my current projects. Depression sucks, but we gotta get this done ✊🏾 . . . . . . #cosplay #commission #cosplayfun #cosplayyourway #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/B1taKEWjdN8/?igshid=1depbx8jasiao

@djdatemasamune and I will both be running around as chompette at @animeexpo next week, so prepping for that with her commission for ears and attaching new clips made for thicker hair to a beautiful fascinator I got from @cosplayburlesque. If you spot us, say hi! We don’t bite... much 😜 . . . . . . #chompettecosplay #chainchomp #supercrown #mario #nintendo #nintendocosplay #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #blackcosplayersrock #cosplaygirl #cosplaymodel #melanincosplay #poccosplayer #poccosplay #blackcosplay #afropunk #blackcosplayersrock #plussizecosplayer #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #womenofcosplay  #animegirl #animecosplay #cosplayisforall #blackgirlmagic @theartofcosplayofficial @cosplay.and.comics @cosplay.kingdom https://www.instagram.com/p/BzOybwwDigB/?igshid=1dex19eeawozl

She’s coming along quite nicely. Jumping from project to project and her new owner has been waiting far too long. Binding has begun on the interior and thinking of making the white part a separate dress for a more complex look where she can mix and match her outfit instead of just wearing the full ensemble. Pockets added and sewn, going to attach the bow to the obi and wrap up the sleeves. A couple of more things after that and she’s off to her forever home 💛💖💙 . . . . . #watakoiloveishardforotaku #watakoi #loveishardforotaku #loveishardforotakucosplay #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #blackcosplayersrock #cosplaygirl #cosplaymodel #melanincosplay #poccosplayer #poccosplay #blackcosplay #afropunk #blackcosplayersrock #plussizecosplayer #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #womenofcosplay  #animegirl #animecosplay #cosplayisforall #blackgirlmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/BzItobqj7UB/?igshid=115c6to934d4v

I really apologize for the inconvenience and last minute update. Due to a family emergency that was beyond my control it’s going to take away my availability to attend AwesomeCon this weekend. I thank you for your understanding and your respect for my discretion. https://www.instagram.com/kurenaikiba/p/Bwtv-R4Dr1f/?igshid=1v9chfxht7st2

Added one of my petticoats to make sure I get the right angle when I add that floofy skirt before I start chopping away. Onto the rest of the blue trim and obi after some sleep 💖💛💙 . . . . . . . . #watakoiloveishardforotaku #watakoi #loveishardforotaku #loveishardforotakucosplay #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #blackcosplayersrock #cosplaygirl #cosplaymodel #melanincosplay #poccosplayer #poccosplay #blackcosplay #afropunk #blackcosplayersrock #plussizecosplayer #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #womenofcosplay  #animegirl #animecosplay #cosplayisforall #blackgirlmagic @theartofcosplayofficial @cosplay.and.comics @cosplay.kingdom https://www.instagram.com/kurenaikiba/p/BwbstfwjCRt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l1g61otifur6

Trucking right along and it’s starting to take shape 😭 . All pieces are cut out, main bodice is coming along, darts are formed and sewn in so we’ll be adding the bottom half and adding our blue trim and dope two part sleeves. After that it’s the obi and 3 tiered floof skirt . . #watakoiloveishardforotaku #watakoi #loveishardforotaku #loveishardforotakucosplay #cosplay #cosplayersofinstagram #blackcosplayersrock #cosplaygirl #cosplaymodel #melanincosplay #poccosplayer #poccosplay #blackcosplay #afropunk #blackcosplayersrock #plussizecosplayer #cosplayer #cosplayersofinstagram #womenofcosplay  #animegirl #animecosplay #cosplayisforall #blackgirlmagic @theartofcosplayofficial @cosplay.and.comics @cosplay.kingdom https://www.instagram.com/kurenaikiba/p/BwYrhzdD0Ao/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aoi7y15h5bv7
