Ep. 013 - Cosplay Contests, the Basics

This week we continue our cosplay contest series. What are contests like? What kind of advice do we have for different skill levels? Pannon and VFire cover all these in this episode. There is a lot we cover and the list we had barely got a dent in it. So stay tuned for next week when we cover stage performances! Yay!

Lexus as Princess Agitha and VFire as Sheik.
What sweet sisters...

Here are a few things from the episode for beginners:

1. Enter a contest to have fun!
2. Show the judges all the good things in your cosplay. You only have a limited time with them so show off your best!
3. Bring a reference picture. If you can only bring one picture, bring the reference image! The judges will love you for it.

And don't forget: BE THE JACKALOPE! The jack of all trades. Strive to be the Jackalope. ;)

There is always something new to learn.

Also: Do the thing! Do the thing but bigger. "Be the Best You!" You don't need lights or something flashy to make your cosplay amazing. Take your current skills to the next level. Learn something new each time but most importantly:

Be the Best You!

I hope you all have enjoyed this episode. Let us know if there is anything you like us to cover more in depth. Join the Facebook Group and discuss topics. We want to make contests easier to prepare for. What would like us to talk about next?

Love all of you, you amazing crafters and listeners,

How to Make Auron's Blade - The Cosplay Armory

As promised, James of the Cosplay Armory shares his knowledge on how to make Auron's Katana from the game, Final Fantasy X. I have been very excited for this as I followed his page as he worked on the blade. I hope you enjoy it! - VFire

Auron's Katana Build by James

A note before I start. I will be mentioning the use of several machines that I have the luxury of having in my shop that I am well aware not everyone has. This project is definitely easier with them than without but everything I describe can be done without them or with simpler tools. I will also include steps that I do that are not necessary in parenthesis()

I was commissioned to build the Auron Katana by Lolita Zombie Cosplay and knew immediately that I wanted it to be light, yet durable. The first step to building any prop is figuring out what you’re going to make it out of. A lot of prop makers use light woods like poplar and MDF and while I have used some wood I decided it would be my first sword that I built e…

How Sailor Crafty Made... Sora: Kingdom Hearts II!

Last week we met Savannah, aka: Sailor Crafty, and her fun creature and human cosplays. This week we get to delve into one of her first creations: Sora from "Kingdom Hearts II." This section of the blog is brand new and is meant for seeing the creation process of one or more parts of a coplay. Savannah was kind enough to explain her entire Sora cosplay for us.

Inspiration
Savannah did not know she was going to cosplay Sora as she played through the popular game "Kingom Hearts II." There is nothing like a sudden moment of inspiration from something you see.
"I was working at JoAnn... and noticed a chain in the clearance rack. This chain sparked the idea [for the cosplay] because it was so perfect for Sora's crown necklace!" - Sailor Crafty.

Creation Process
"The overall idea behind this costume was comfort and and the ability to wash everything so I can wear it again and again! I made it back in 2005 and I still wear it to cons now! ... I especiall…
