Description You saw this cosplay here Lydia close up  and as promised I managed to finish the winter version in time! I'm so proud of this poncho, it's so warm and soft and cute! The materials I used to make it are: a very soft red pile, light blue lining, and a lot of permanent black ink markers (I thought to use black tape to make the spiderweb, but after a while I gave up because the lines were still very noticeable and I was afraid to make the fabric less flowing). And... slight change in the hairdo, this one is 10 times cooler and I could wear it before the comiccon without feeling strange. 
The day of the comiccon was soooo cold and rainy I was happy to wear my warm poncho on the outside... and yet I got sick. I wonder how many cosplayers managed to survive, especially the half naked ones! XDDD
By the way at this comiccon I saw a lot of dark cosplays, and it was soooo delightful! I managed to get some good shots with a pair of them and will post these shots soon, stay tuned.

Charming cosplay, etc....thanks for the welcome!

Yes, I have some  lifelong "insane" compulsions
- which apparently are not harmful to others.
Apparently my compulsive behaviours are actually
enjoyed by ....viewers (?).... I'll illucidate at some point...
....my art hints at some morbid/outre/deviant behaviors,
hence my attraction to the group...
cheerios

This is awesome. I miss that show!
Lydia has always been one of my favorite dark characters, and you did an awesome job here capturing her look in the cartoon.

Yeah, I still watch it on internet!
Thank you!!!! I really wanted to do my best, I felt her close while I was growing up and I love her still.

I like how you did her makeup. I should really practice getting my Lydia makeup to look like that before I cosplay her again!

Thank you! It's actually pretty easy once you find the right eye shadows palette, with some matte colors. Mine has around 72 colors, and it was pretty cheap even if it was from a good brand. My cosplays improved a lot thanks to that.

I use face paints as my skin's grease used to end up ruining my eye shadow when I wore it back in my early teens. It can be difficult to get the brush just wet enough so it doesn't water down the powder too much.

IllyDragonfly In reply to NeversideFaerie [2017-02-24 21:21:35 +0000 UTC]

I have a pretty oily skin too, and these eye shadows hold on perfectly even during hot days. That kind of colors too close to the eyes is not always a good idea especially if the quality is not very high, it's a sensitive area. Have you tried using a skin scrub once in a week and with a healthy diet? With me it worked and I got a great improvement.

NeversideFaerie In reply to IllyDragonfly [2017-02-24 22:22:25 +0000 UTC]

I use a moisturiser and toner each evening, which I think is helping.

IllyDragonfly In reply to NeversideFaerie [2017-02-25 11:56:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but for oily skins is good using at least once in a week a scrub mask (keeping it far from the eyes zone of course) for ten minutes. After it's removed with water you can put your moisturiser. With a weekly treatment it removes all the grease and dead skin gently without shocking it and makes it less oily and less shiny.

Yeah, after years I casually saw a video on Youtube and memories came back. Some clothes in cartoons just cannot be forgotten, like Sailor scouts uniforms and this poncho. They are part of our generation. XD

They don't give same value as people that started pokemon on the first console, the game boy XD

Yeah, they cannot appreciate really Pokémon if they didn't see the first series, played with the Game Boy color and the cards (pfff, soon we'll sit on a bench feeding pigeons and shittalking about this wasted new generations...).

MoonFlowerSax In reply to IllyDragonfly [2017-02-22 14:15:00 +0000 UTC]

Then I would like an army where every Illy wears another cosplay costume from your vast collection. So I get to see every single one at the same time.

And then I organise an Illy-con to earn money. Got tp feed all those Illys, right?
Of course in Italy and luring fursuiters. Just, please, don't kill them by accident. Hundreds of Illys running towards someone for hugs and photos could end fatally.

I think my imagination is exceeding the limits.

IllyDragonfly In reply to MoonFlowerSax [2017-02-22 18:09:18 +0000 UTC]

Oh, that would be so cute and terrifying at the same time. I think apocalypse would start like that.
You made me think of that Simpsons Halloween episode when Homer managed to get an army of clones, it was hilarious. And a comic from SilenReaper I cannot link because dA is acting strange (a lot of 503 error shit) at the moment.

My imagination is like that all the time. XDDD

You are my imagination?
Everything exists only through my mind?
So I did all the arts on DA?
That's awesome!
And scary.

I know that The Simpsons episode.
