Ep. 22 - Pamper Day!


Sometimes the best way to prep for a convention is to have a self-care day! Take a moment to relax and enjoy the pr-con pamper with Pannon as she relaxes with other cosplayers before Anime Banzai 2018. From manicures to pedicures, it is nice to sit back and take a break since conventions can be stressful to prep for.


Special thanks to Le Nails at South Town Mall for hosting all these amazing cosplayers.

Nothing like a good pamper day with friends!

The event was hosted by Pannon and pics were shared on our cosplay group on Facebook. Come join in the fun! Share your cosplay pamper days with us! Pre-Con Pampers for the win!

Even David joined in for some goldy toesies!

Thanks for listening and for everyone who able to make the event!

Ep. 017 - Secrets of Cosplay Docs for Contests!

This week Pannon and VFire talk about documentation for Cosplay Contests. This can be a document that help make or break a good presentation of your work to craftsmanship judges.

Check out these Documentation examples here free to check out from le Googles.

Contests may have different requirements so make sure to check what the judges are looking for. Here are 5 thing to remember when making your documentation.


1. Reference pictures.If you have one thing have this in your docs. Bring a reference of the character. Front, back, and side views are always a nice bonus!



Sometimes it is nice to put a reference right next to something in progress. For example VFire used the above images to show how she worked on Sheik's braid and aimed to replicate the weird criss cross at the top.
2. Progress picture.
Show your process. Did something not work out? Show that and why you chose another path. Show the evolution of your work.


3. Summarize.
Group similar methods together (e.g. when your arm…
