Time goes by and I am back in Norway, relaxing for a little bit, after my great trip to Unicon in Latvia! This trip was really fun, it was such an honor to be invited to this event. I was also able to see some of my old friends like Shappi Workshop and Zel COShorse! My good friend, Renato, was also invited down to Unicon to talk about eSport, which was quite interesting! Always lovely travelling with friends. I also managed to make quite a few friends during the event, some being my CO-judges Inge, aka Dulcinea Coslay from Lithuania and Marija (Aka Imay Lee Cosplay) from Latvia! <3 We arrived a day early before the convention, so we got to visit and spend some time together with the judges, which was tons of fun! Again thank you Marija for your hospitality! Day 1 of the event: We arrived early to the event to start pre-judging. From what I heard, we had over 100 who entered multible categories! Which was super exciting, but of course we spent quite some time on pre-judging as well. :’D They had categories like Dance, Group, Duo, Solo and EuroCosplay Qualifiers. I really enjoyed that Original […] Read More
It is time to talk about my trip to ESL One in Frankfurt! BEFORE THE EVENT Kairi in Cosplayland and I were lucky enough to be able to work with Razer at this event. Again, I feel really honored to be able to work with such amazing and kind people! Kairi and I were making 2 completely new cosplays for this specific event. I decided on Crystal Maiden, and Kairi decided on making the Windrunner! Our only problem was time management, as I had worked pretty hard on my Valkyrie Leona only a few days before! Two days after Dreamhack I left for Frankfurt, so the days were pretty much sleep-less. :’D But it was SOOOO worth it. I was lucky enough to get some help from my little sister, Sophie. So thank god for that! PROGRESS I’m actually quite pleased with how Crystal Maiden turned out on such a short notice! I do have plans to redo some of her parts pretty soon, as she was a very comfortable cosplay to wear. This was also my first time working with Transpa Worbla, and it worked out pretty good! The huge crystal on Rylai’s staff was made out of Transpa Worbla. […] Read More
Woah, where to begin? DreamHack this year was crazy busy for me, as I had been working non-stop on my Valkyrie Leona for weeks! I managed to complete her the day before in my hotel room. I hadn’t sleep for the past days before we had to leave for Jönköping in Sweden. So my first day before the contest I was just checking out how I wanted my performance to be – our stage performances couldn’t be too long, for example spending time on stand-alone props and other things, as they had a very tight schedule, which is understandable! I at least was allowed to get my props on stage, on some chairs, for the act, which was very kind of them! I also had time to “LAN” a little for the first time at Dreamhack! It was super-nice! I only wish I had a laptop, bringing my tower sure was a pain…luckily I had someone to help me carry my tower and monitor! :’D It was cool hanging with those of you who came over to the LAN spot, very cozy indeed! A huge thanks to Komplett for making the LAN spot awesome. It for sure was a lot of fun! Now over […] Read More
Wow, just wow, is all I’ve got to say. This convention was SO much fun! I met new people, the con had lots of content, an awesome cosplay show, and an awesome crew. I even got to see parts of Bucharest in my spare-time, which was very interesting. I love sightseeing, especially when everything is so different from Norway :’D Believe it or not, but this was actually my first Comic Con, and I loved it. I got to judge alongside Shappi’s Workshop – a very talented cosplayer – we’ve even both made Dryad Soraka! xD In the evenings, we usually went to a place called Oktoberfest, (I bet everyone who was at the convention knows where that is xD), a very cozy place with lots of yummies~ I had three cosplays lined up: Fluttershy, Alexstrasza and Caitlyn. Everything went well except that it was so hot on Saturday, and my Alexstrasza wig gets heavy over time, so I tried to endure my best so we could take pictures together during the event. ;o; I’m so sorry if you did not manage to get a picture on Saturday, it was so hot that my worbla chestplate cracked on the side…I […] Read More
Hello all! It’s time to post my first tutorial here! This is how I made Link’s bow from Four Swords Adventure. Keep in mind that I didn’t manage to take many progress pictures along the way as I had very little time to get this bow ready for an event. BUT, I will try to explain the process in as much detail as possible, and I’ve made some “diagrams” …in MS Paint. I will also include extra info on points where I find it relevant, and label it as such. The methods I describe in this guide can of course also be adapted and used help make any bow you may wish to make! YOU NEED: 4 sheets of EVA, some Worbla (Depending on how big you want the bow to be), Gesso, wood glue, hot glue, and acrylic paint. TOOLS: Heating Gun, Hot glue Gun, paint brushes, a carpet cutter, a dremel and a mask to cover your mouth + goggles. EVA foam: I needed about one package of EVA foam. Here one package is 4 sheets of EVA foam. I drew out a pattern, (So I could see how big I wanted it), on paper, and then I transferred that […] Read More
Spring has finally arrived! One of my favorite seasons of the year. Snow is melting, brighter days are approaching, and I feel so much happier! 😀 Therefore, I decided that I will have a Spring Sale in my shop! ALL posters are on sale til the 1-st of May! I also lowered the price on Fluttershy’s element of Harmony. All of the info is in the description~ Poster Info: -Size: A4 / 29x21cm – High resolution photo print – Signed by Tine Marie Riis – Can be Personalized if requested! (you will have to specify a note in the payment note. Otherwise signed without a note and just your name.) The money goes into creating new cosplays, so it helps me out a lot! You can find the link to the shop here: STORE! Read More
It’s time to talk about Copenhagen Games 2015! This was my second time at a convention in Denmark, so I was VERY excited! A big thanks once again to Komplett.dk for inviting me, you guys rock! A huge thanks to Mplay as well for being there and supporting me through the event. I had heard great things about this con from my cosplay friends. I really love gaming events, I really feel at home there since I grew up with games, and have been gaming since I was like 3 years old. I was gonna judge along with Nimdra Cosplay and Stickweed Cosplay, two cosplayers I’ve gotten to know quite well lately, and become good friends with! The first day was very relaxing and chilled out, we got to wander around and take in the event, and then we had a little cosplay panel at the end of the day. I decided to make a bow for my Violet Link like 3-4 days before the convention…so I was sorta stressed before I had to leave, but it worked out! We also got to film some for the komplett video, so I’m excited to see how it turned out! The second […] Read More
Not too long ago, I was invited to this fantastic Swedish event called NärCon Winter! I have attended NärCon Summer once back in 2013, and I loved every second of it. So being invited as a guest here was so unreal! I got to judge the Master Category for the cosplay competition along with amazing judges: Calssara, Sophia and Pantzar. It was such a pleasure judgning by their side, and we had so many laughs together when we had time off. <3 The Winner of the Master category will qualify for Cosplay SM, get a 3D figure of themselves, and a 1000 SEK giftcard at Cosmos. This was the hardest competition I have ever judged. We were sitting together discussing all the details, but after a while we all came down to an agreement~ First place went to Hani Lejonhjärta as Tiny Tina from Borderlands! All of her details were spot on, and she had made a lot of props and her stage performance was outstanding. It was like she stepped out of the game ~ The best craftmanship went to Linnea Hansson as Hawke from Dragon Age. The best performance went to Emma Charlotta Granath as Elsa from Frozen. We […] Read More
Hello every-nyan! How are you guys? This past week has been pretty creative for me and Buskerud Folk School~ I had my second workshop there now, and it is always a joy to see people eager to learn new stuff. This time we were gonna make props instead of bracers. Reason why I chose bracers for them for the first workshop is cause It’s easy to make, and they get to know the material quite well. So they already had the knowledge in the back of their head when we were gonna make props. There were so many different swords/knives! They chose everything from The Legend of Zelda, World of Warcraft, Kingdom Hearts, Alice Madness Returns, Lord of the Rings, and more! This was the first time they got to work with EVA foam, and they were actually quite surprised by how easy it was to work with. Although the sanding was a pain as we only had three dremels. :’D I wish we had at least 4-5 days on this project, but we managed to do a ton of stuff in three days. We got to the part where they had to prime their props, which was splendid! So […] Read More
I have two projects going on at the moment. I first decided to start on Arcade Miss Fortune as I was unsure of which character I wanted to do as a main project for the first half of 2015. Arcade Miss Fortune is about 40% completed already, but for now I have to focus on my main project, Valkyrie Leona. Valkyrie Leona is gonna be my biggest project so far. I have never made a sword, shield, or a helmet. But I always like a challenge! :3 The base of the sword is made out of double layer EVA foam, which will give me the thickness I need. I plan to cover it in worbla after and do all the details. The shield’s core will be made out of Styrofoam and then covered in worbla as well. I will keep on posting progress pictures so you all can see! Other than that, all of the armor will be made out of worbla. I also plan to use friendly plastic for some parts. I am going to cast the two gems she has, and make them glow. The feathers will be made out of crafting foam as I think it will […] Read More
