Aranea wings in-process, crummy cellphone pictures.
…I just bought my Fancy GT Aranea fabric…
I’m going to look like an haute couture traffic cone.
…look at all those beads… and trim… I have 69 days to make three fancy outfits.
god help me.
Silliness aside, we did get some nice Promstuck pictures. I’m normally ehhhhhghhghhh about Flash pictures, but I kinda like the “crummy Prom pictures” quality of these.

(This is especially incredible considering that she was so drunk while this picture was taken that she had decided to become a curtain.)

Done with my Fancy Godtier Feferi wings… not entirely pleased with them, since they’re smaller than canon and just… I don’t know. But they’re done.
There are four golden bells on the back so I jingle when I move.

BEAUTIFUL CREATURE
Process pictures of my Fancytier Aranea wings!
They still look sorta odd. I went with the two winglets instead of the canonical three, so that there’s eight winglets in all, like a spider!
It’s hard to tell in the pictures, but they’re actually a more opaque blue, and I did darker gradients along the sides and tips.
Guys Hayden is a wizard. Photo by the amazing Hayden Pratt!
He surprised me with a fourth photo! Aaaa. Last Melcospho while I was there, etc!
PSA: Cosplay Tutorials/Whatnot
Hi guys!!
I am THRILLED and honored my cosplays have been floating around. Thanks for all of your many comments and likes!!
I woke up this morning to a BUNCH of asks asking to make tutorials, or where I bought items(?!) or various things..
I’m really, really sorry, but it’s unlikely I’ll make a Tutorial on these things! Reason ISN’T HURHURHUR IMMA HOARD SECRETS, it’s more that when I make cosplays… I just.. sorta… do them.
I always have the intention of sitting down and taking pictures but inevitably I’m halfway through the project and have totally forgotten. Also, with sewn pieces, I very, VERY rarely use storebought patterns and draft my own! Which also means I screwed up a ton in-process. I taught myself to sew through doll clothes, cosplay, and lolita, so it means I don’t really know the proper or even easy way to do things! And even then, I couldn’t explain it if I tried!
Seriously, I’ve tried to draw pictures of my patterns and explain how they’re put together… AND IT MADE SENSE TO NO ONE.
So, tl;dr… Thanks for all of your questions and asks, everyone, but I’m probably not going to make any tutorials any time soon. ;;
That said- the wings I made were using a conglomeration of tutorials online- (Emilie Autumn did a really great one, of all people!) and a few years of making BJD wings.
There’s also an awesome tumblr,
for all of your tutorial needs! They’re even sorted by character!! It’s awesome.
That’s all! Again, I’m really sorry. I just feel awful when I wake up to a million questions asking me to explain how I made an entire costume when… I… DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW I DID EITHER…?
