Helllloooooooo my wonderful dears~~

It's been ages since I've updated my DeviantART page, let alone uploaded something so I must apologise profusely for my lack of activity and also absence as of late! I'm currently about half a week into my school holidays (we get two weeks) and am currently working around the clock to complete my Supanova Melbourne cosplay, since school work as well as my part time job has kept me preoccupied for the last couple of months. So many things have happened recently and as some of you may know, my original plan for Melbnova was Kirito from Sword Art Online along with my dear friend Kaallisi as Asuna. However with some last minute changes and also clashes in schedules we have decided to push those cosplays back a little further for a photoshoot later on in the year to avoid having them:

1. Be half finished.
2. Become part of the drone army of Kirito and Asuna cosplayers at Supanova.

Hence, my current plans of yet another "Secret Cosplay" for the upcoming convention, which I plan to reveal one day prior - so keep a look out on all of my pages if you want to catch a glimpse! Or... you could always wait for the proper photos xD

With that aside, as far as other conventions and meetups go for this year, once again I will definitely be attending less of those as school is my first priority. Also in regards to activity on the internet in general, that will be limited as well due to the same factors of school and work, so I will probably be a bit dead this year x.x' Sorry guys!

Anyways, I think I'll just leave this brief update here for now since it's about 2am in the morning and I'm still working on my cosplay. I'll keep you posted about what's going on in my _{Superbly boring} life, so until then I'll also leave a couple of photos of what I did recently!

Hellooo my dears~

And I must say what a WONDERFUL start to the new year it's been _{For me at least...I mean come on >___> We TOTALLY survived the apocalyp - /BRICKED}! I've been mostly busy with work, so I haven't been to any photoshoots like I said I would but I'm slowly saving up money for new cosplays~ This year I've got a LOT planned, even though I'll be in my final year of high school...but I hope to finish all my cosplays before summer holidays end so I can fully focus on the new school year when it begins in February. As far as convention line ups go for this year, most likely it'll just be the two again for me and less meets. So far the line up is:

Supanova Melbourne (Sunday) - Kirito SAO, with Kaallisi as my Asuna~
Armageddon Melbourne (Sunday) - Undecided/ Secret Cosplay

Manifest this year is a maybe but I will have to see as it's more expensive than the other two cons and it'll be around the time we start preparing for our final exams. Hopefully all will go to planned, so look forward to more great things coming from me this year. Thank you to all my lovely friends both old and new for a fantastic 2012 in cosplay as well as to all you wonderful watchers who've given me all the support over the years!

Until next time!

Guess what? As of today I have successfully completed my SECOND LAST year of secondary school! \o/ Yay~ Summer holidays have started and next year I will be well into my last year of secondary school - how time does fly >___< Anyways, apart from that more "recent" excitement I will start backlogging and also uploading some photos from a photoshoot I was invited to a few months ago. I was lucky enough to model in a studio this time for the amazing Steph Doran, which was quite the new experience if not a little challenging at times xD Though...I do love my challenges Please check out Steph's Facebook page/ other links if you're interested~ She has a brilliant collection of photography pieces that will blow. Your. Mind.



Now to more cosplay side of things...I have _too MANY new cosplays planned for the rest of 2012 as well as the new year ahead of us. As well as this, I am hoping to get more photoshoots done within these holidays as next year I won't have much time to get out due to school. Thankfully, there's a meet that my older brother and I are hosting next weekend meaning I will hopefully have some new photos to show from that!
Anywho, so sorry for this awkward-ish and relatively short journal xD But look forward to a lot of new things from me for the rest of this year as well as the next! Thank you ALL for your continued support and until next time I leave you with my latest makeup tutorial on Youtube

Why helloooooooo lovelies!

I hope you're all doing well~ _{Well at least better than I am atm =__="}. MAN it's been a while since I've made any updates to my DeviantART page, or to my DeviantART as a matter of fact xD As of today I've completed THREE of my exams for this year and only have three left to go! I've been going through a bit of a rough patch in regards to school this year as well as personal issues but I don't plan on letting this hinder me too much..._{I hope} and will get back into the loop of things soon. Thank you ALL to you guys - my wonderful watchers for continuing to support me and put up with my random crap xD Hopefully during these holidays I will have done more shoots of my recent cosplays before I get back to backlogging~

Anyways I'll leave you guys with my _{LONG BELATED} Armageddon Melbourne 2012 update, so until next time~

Where do I even begin to tell you all about Armageddon this year? So I'm going to try and sum it up in a few words of my own: It was effing AMAZEBALLS.
This year due to some last minute alterations due to exams and whatnot, I ended up attending as Kise Ryouta from the series "Kuroko no Basuke" which is one of the series that I've been 'obsessed' about recently. I had actually read the manga prior to the anime airing so you can guess that I was SUPER excited when the anime finally happened! The morning began with a crowded but fun journey on the train to the convention centre with my little sister who funnily enough _{(not really~)} was cosplaying Jounouchi Katsuya from YGO. This was then followed up by countless derp times on the way to the con as well as once we got inside. This year I didn't actually spend that much time walking around inside the con, rather spending it outside chatting and catching up with friends
Also I wasn't really apart of any 'group cosplays' even though there was another fabulous group of KuroBasu, but formed a small trio along with my dear friends and who cosplayed Kuroko Tetsuya and Murasakibara Atsushi respectively~
Much of the day after we had met up included an adventure to Pizza Hut "down the road" _{More like 1km away x.x} for lunch before heading back to the convention, where I was invited to shoot as a trio for the rest of the day.
Overall I had an absolutely brilliant time seeing all my friends again and meeting new ones too~ Words really just can't express how much fun it was for me so I'll leave you with...

Haha I'm just kidding xD It's not cursed, Kaallisi just called it that because it took me about a million tries over the course of THREE full days just to upload it LOL! I hope you enjoy watching it and following me through my day of Armageddon~

Hellooooo my dears~

It certainly has been a while since we last talked or since you even last saw me lurking on deviantART! For these past two months or so, I've been working extremely hard at school in preparation for exams as well as my own little _{Actually wrong. GINORMOUS} project in regards to my final pieces for art, so I've had little time to get online and post things. Yesterday marked the official start of the two week long break that we get so hopefully I'll be able to get back into the cosplay side of things soon - I just haven't had time to do anything lately with art in the way!

I still have yet to shoot some of my cosplays including:


As well as some other possible retakes of Itachi and Sasuke, but I doubt I will be getting to those any time soon due to all the plans I've made for these holidays. One day though...they WILL be done before I retire them xD

Other than that...lately along with the costumes for art I have also been working on a few others both in the planning process and to produce them. Along with this I've also ordered my FIRST cosplay seeing as I usually make them. The reason being is because it's a uniform and to ensure everyone looks the same we ordered them together

Anyways, that's a wrap up from me but I'll keep you guys posted on any photoshoots or stuff that I attend over the holidays~

Until next time!
