Twitch Hype!

12/6/2017

Now my schedule is a bit less hectic I will be focusing a lot of my attention over on my Twitch channel. YAY!

A lot of people have asked me to stream more the past year, so I finally caved and invested in a PC. I will mainly be streaming Overwatch/HOTS over the next couple of months, as that's all I have game wise currently. I do however want to look into branching out and doing some creative streams also. So eventually there will be a nice balance of both gaming and creative streaming on my channel :)

If you want to hang out with me, be sure to follow me over on my Twitch so that you can be notified when I go "live". I will also keep my Twitter feed updated with my stream schedule, so be sure to look out for that also!

I hope to see some of you over on my stream soon!

Until next time!

I had such an awesome shoot on the 18th March with the incredible Justine-Louise Photography, and the awesome cosplayer Giulietta Zawadzki. We collaborated with Strait Laced Latex to bring loads of characters to life with a latex lingerie twist.

I haven't worked on a double shoot in forever, so it was nice to collaborate with someone as like minded as Giulietta. We picked characters that we both loved, and worked well as pairs. Can you guess some of them from the above selfies? :P

I am so happy with how the images turned out, and had such a fun day with these lovely ladies. If you want to see exclusive behind the scenes images and selfies from this shoot, as well as see the edits before anyone else, head on over to my Patreon! If not, that's cool, thank you for supporting my work all the same :)

Until next time,

DemonCon 13

demoncon, maidstone, kent cosplayer,

DemonCon13 has officially been and gone. It was held on the 26th February in the Star Arcade in Maidstone. I attended as Mary Jane, as it has been a cosplay that a lot of people have asked me to do. All the WIP for the tee can be found over on my Patreon. These guys are always first to know, and see everything! :)

Demoncon is always such a pleasure to be involved with. The guests and attendees are always so lovely, and everyone really seems to get involved with the cosplay side of the convention to.

I mean look how incredible Ninja Trooper looks in his Namba cosplay. (See photo above). He made this himself, and he is even on stilts! SO COOL!

It is always great seeing new and old faces there, and as always I am grateful to those of you who purchased from me whilst there! I really appreciate each and everyone of you for supporting my work! It means the world to me!

Demoncon normally happens twice a year. The next one will be around August/September time if my memory is correct. So if you are local to Kent, and missed out on this one, but think it is something that interests you. Be sure to keep a look out for the announcement of the next one!

My next Kent convention is Medway Comic and Screen Festival, on April 1st in Gillingham. Maybe I will catch a few of you there! :)

Until next time,

As some of you may already know, I absolutely ADORE Halloween. So much so, that I couldnt resist making a Halloween themed costume for MCM London in October. I decided that I would make a Halloween themed D.va as she didn’t get a skin on Overwatch. I thought I’d make my own, as she is such a super cute character! I hope you guys like it!

Myself and Justine shot it in with the funfair stuff because we felt it was fitting (Top images), but thought it would also be cool to shoot outside the Excel as well.

I am sure this costume will be making an appearance in my 2018 calendar! :)

Until next time!

I had so much fun shooting this cosplay with Justine-Louise Photography. Harley is such a great character to inbody. You can literally go crazy with her, which I always enjoy doing :P

The top for this cosplay was hand painted by myself, and cut up to the right size. The pants were two different pairs sewn together. I made this costume when Suicide Squad had just been announced. There were no quick an easy outfit buys for me at the time. I wanted it originally for my Harley performance I did, but thought it was about time I shot it properly to :)

There is a print avaliable from this shoot in my shop, for those of you who maybe interested.

Until next time!
