Mirai's cosplay blog

Welcome to my cosplay blog! I'm a cosplayer from the Netherlands and part of the cosplay group MMMC. I've been part of team Netherlands at: - Eurpean Cosplay Gathering 2012 (solo) - Yamato Cosplay Cup international 2014 - European Cosplay Gathering 2015 (Group), 2nd place - World Cosplay Summit 2017 - Cosplay World Masters 2019 I've been a cosplayer since 2007 and with every project I'm still learning every step of the way. That's the beauty of this wonderful hobby! Love, Mirai

Some sneaky peeky progress shots of my Gamora cosplay from Gardians of the Galaxy part 1. Made from stretch pleather fabrics and mesh panels. I made paper tape patterns, added the decorative seems and attached all the panels. The decorative seems were made by cutting open the fabric, sew it back together and top stitch.

More ballet on my feed? More ballet on my feed! The first shot by @nvdbergphotography of my blinged up princess Kraehe! A full body shot including the point shoes 🙃 these are my very first point shoes which I painted black and replaced the pink with black ribbons 🖤 they are a little dead since they are over 10 years old, but still good for posing for pictures 📸 Thanks to the photoshoot organized by @duhcosplay I got to pose in this gorgeous room with not one, but two pianos 🎹😆 #balletcosplay (bij Kasteel Heeswijk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bunm7OWjWku/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fokt9qvmhm8t

Yeah! More video's! The Motoko part of the @campzonenl cosplay video 💪 🤐 Can you keep a secret? I jumped of that yellow ledge 4 or 5 times and after the last time I broke my belt 😱🙈 I got way to excited hiding behind all the stuff in the backstage area. I really enjoy making this kind of videos! #cosplay #cosplayvideo #dutchcosplay #cosplayer #cosplaywomen #cosplaygirl #ghostintheshell #ghostintheshellcosplay #motokokusanagi #motoko #motokocosplay #campzone https://www.instagram.com/p/Bntihtgi_PZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z81yt7ydi5ys

Propbuilding learning curves are steep. I made this scythe twice and the second time it felt so much easier. I loved using roofmate as a base since it wasn’t as hard to work with as I feared it would be. Especially the round parts were so much fun to sand down. 

Bringing this prop to Japan sure was a challenge all on its own...

Pokéball costumes I made for my sister and friend as a casual costume :D These were so much fun to make an to wear! 

A normal pokéball for my sister @tokicosplay, a great ball for myself and an ultra ball for our friend Vera.

Some Work in progress of Motoko from First Assault. I used real leather for the jacket combines with foam armor covered with a stretchy fake leather with details made from various snaps and left over magnets dividers. The shoes where made in the same manner als the armor with a simple trainer as a base shoe. 

The ‘backbone’ is made from craft foam covered with mod podge and painted with acrylics. It was attached to the belt with a magnet and with a elastic band to the bodysuit so it moved with me and would always snap back into place.

The year that Animecon leaves their current venue I get the idea to shoot on stage because we could not go outside due to the wind. I hate myself now XD This one Is with Mirai as the Major from...

The major is one of the costumes that is very special to me. Ghost in the Shell is one of the first anime I ever watched and it stuck. The questions regarding what makes reality ‘real’ is still something I think about late at night...
