Description
I've already posted it on my cosplay page on facebook, but I had to post it here too! one of the rare thing I still keep posting on DA hahaha! And the quality will be better here too
If you want more content even tough I don't post daily or weekly all the time you can follow me on Facebook and instagram with the name Visuvampy the content is a bit different from one another, but you will indeed be more up to date with what I do during the year in general.
So yeah! It's that time of the year!! My annual cosplay meme where I do a montage to resume all the cosplay that made their debut during the year. Either made our bought.
This year it was really difficult to do... because I did not have shoot with all of them or either don't have any true picture with them.
It is also my second less productive year since I started doing those meme back in 2012 (this is my 7th one!) My most productive year was 2013... so I tend to always compare my capacity to that year... but then I remember my sewing skills back then was horrible and I was able to do so many because I didn't care that much about quality.
2012: 14
2013: 23
2014: 3....
2015: 9
2016: 10 or 11
2017: 11
2018: 8
So yeah I guess the average per year is now around 8 to 11. At first I tough I really sucked this year because I didn't do alot of new ones and couldn't keep up with everyone productions.But in the end I was in my own average hahaha, I do less of them, but the quality get better. I also don't have the body and budget to order 100 of them on internet unfortunatly, so I need to make 80% of them.
This year favorite and obvious cosplay is Hakutaku from hoozuki no reitetsu hahaha he is now my current pride until I beat that quality. Thanks to him I am now a Master category in local masquerade but it is also more stressful 8D'
SO here the real resume XD:
1- Hakutaku from Hoozuki no reitetsu : Debuted in January, finished-ish for april . Won an artisan award at Nadeshicon and a Best-in-show at the workmanship competition at Animenorth. The cosplay I have worn to almost every convention this year XD'' except 3 of them hahaha.
2- Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7 : Debuted in may at Animenorth for our FF7 group. Was supposed to be finish for december 2017 but I made wallmarket cloud instead at that time hahaha. Need some adjustment and a more official shoot one of the rare picture I have of it.
3- Lapis Lazuli from Houseki no kuni : Debuted in may for Animenorth and a small group. I don't have real picture of it only selfies and that was the picture that was the best looking hahaha. Unfortunatly for that costume it get my deception of the year 8D'''. I really love it, but I feel like I should not have made it for many reasons it's also the start of when my mood for cosplay went crumbling down the hill for this year unfortunatly. I am thinking of doing a shoot with it and selling it if anyone is interested.
4- Casual Sailor neptune from Sailor moon : Debuted in June for yeticon , not an official version, but I liked the style and it's when I discover I wasn't looking that bad as her ( you know sometime I have some little confidence boost and this is one of them hahaha) so expect more sailor neptune in the futur hahaha
5- Haru Yoshida from Tonari no kaibutsu-kun : This one as actually been debuted in 2013 .... 8D'' but in my meme you can see it was the only one with no picture, not even a selfie. I had worn it once .... took some weight since the first time I bought it, but it was deserving a proper shoot, Haru is one of my favorite character , like in my top 5 of character I call my babies ( cuz yeah there is a 1000 husbando's hahaha)
6- Tiffany from Bride of chucky : Debuted in July for Montreal comic con. My leather jacket died that day XD' I will do a better version not last minute next time. I am a fan of horror movie and grew up watching chucky movies (yes even as a child I loved them 8D') so I had to do a cosplay from it someday and I love tiffany!
7- Scanty from Panty and stocking : debuted in august for world cosplay summit. I have mixed feeling for that cosplay XD'' it's an old dream cosplay since the anime came out, but now that it's finaly made I have regrets of thinking it was a great idea hahahaha. It was a pain in the ass to do, so many problem from A to Z and still is and god that freaking bodypaint. I almost died from exhaustion because of it ... ( never drive when you have no sleep for days 8D'') and now.... all the world shall see is this big red potato that I am (or lobster like my friend would say 😂) and how the skit wasn't much of a success 😭on some picture i am like : well I don't look that bad and on some others i am like: issshhhh this is so horrible and it's on internet forever 😂god damnit. There would be soooo much to say on it but lets not go there.
8- Leo Tsukinaga from Ensemble stars : debuted in september at Animara con. Ensemble stars is one of my last idol obsession, love live unfortunatly died in my heart for many reason (i'm still gonna enjoy the music and anime tough, but no new cosplay) and this is it's replacement hahaha I have so many cosplay I want to do from it. At that moment the Knight sport uniform was the easiest to do in a short time and my Kamui wig was perfect for Leo! I need to finish the hoodie hahah but it will get a proper debut next year.
SO yeah this is all for 2018! Hope you liked it and sorry for the wall of text like always XD' but this is my end of the year resume after all hahaha
