Time for a new quick tutorial for you guys! This time we will take a look at Lara’s Ice Axe! It was such a fun project for me to make. I love all the small details that went into making it and thought I would show you step by step how I did it! It’s actually not too hard! Full Tutorial is up for my Patreons! Link HERE! You will need: Paper – For making a pattern. (or you might find a blueprint online) 5mm EVA foam 2mm Craft Foam Black Worbla Heating gun Good pair of scissors Dremel Safety goggles Nuts and bolts Plasti-dip Wall plaster Spray paint Acrylic paint —————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Phase 1 Make your pattern out of paper – a thick paper type will hold its shape better. When you are satisfied, you cut out the pattern you made. Phase 2 Cut away the blades of the Ice Axe of your pattern. Put the blades on top of 2mm EVA foam, draw around, and cut out. Put the rest of your pattern on top of 5mm EVA foam, draw around your pattern, and cut out. Phase 3 Dremel out details. I basically cut out as much as I […] Read More
“Vero is a social network for anyone who loves anything enough to share it – and wants control over who they share it with. Just like we do in real life.” As you might have seen, the new App, Vero, is slowly taking the world by storm now. You may also have seen your favorite creator post about this already. Vero is much alike Instagram when it comes to posting and they claim that they are not going to mess with algorithms, which has been a large problem both on Facebook and Instagram for the past 2 years – and an especially tremendous problem for the past year. My main following base is on Facebook. I have 390k followers and I know that I, as well as many others, have been affected. Instagram is gradually changing too, as they are owned by Facebook – they’ve actually announced that they’re gradually introducing the same algorithms that so drastically limit the reach of pages, and makes it especially hard for creators. Every time I post, Facebook asks me to boost the post for more likes, which means that I would be spending money on every post to reach my followers – which […] Read More
Hello lovelies! I had the honor of being on the cover of Cohaku’s latest issue! When they asked me earlier this Summer, I was a little confused, but also very honored. I had heard only good things about this magazine, so it was a little surreal to me – they even wanted to print an interview with me. The magazine itself is a wonderful resource for the cosplay community, filled with cosplay goodies such as tutorials and relevant news and discussions! They wanted my Wonder Woman for the cover, which was really flattering. It has been a Summer filled with Wonder Woman for me, and I loved every single second of it. I had been wanting to cosplay her for years now, and I finally got the chance to. I sent them various photos, and they ended up going with an “Into Battle” look. I usually cosplay characters that tend to always be cute, so this was a real challenge for me. My only experience with the “non-cute” characters is through my Sivir cosplay, that I made back in 2016. So because these kinds of poses aren’t my forte, it made me very happy that they decided to go with one of the more “aggressive” shots from […] Read More
Fully detailed tutorial of both my Wonder Woman Chest plate and God Killer is up for my Patrons from level 25 and up! Link HERE. I thought I could give you guys a quick tutorial on how to create your own Wonder Woman Chest plate. You will need: 2mm Craft Foam 5mm Craft Foam Worbla/Black Worbla A pair of good scissors for the worbla Plasti-dip Wood Glue Heating gun Red metal paint / gold paint Paint brushes Masking tape and clear plastic wrap First of all you wrap yourself around in the plastic wrap and masking tape to get the pattern from yourself. Draw onto the masking tape, and cut the pattern out with a pair of scissors. (you’ll have to choose a point to cut where it doesn’t ruin the pattern) Step 2: Is transferring your pattern onto the 2mm craft foam. Draw around, and cut out. For the boob cups I used a double layer of black worbla and heated it up, and shaped it around an acrylic sphere to get the round shape. Cut around rough edges after the worbla has cooled down. Use contact glue to glue the boob cubs onto the 2mm foam under bust (the glue has a strong […] Read More
Okay, so I am quite nervous and excited. I have been asked to make Wonder Woman for the Norwegian premiere here in June! I have always adored Wonder Woman, and being asked to do this is a huge honor. This will actually be my first cosplay from the DC universe. I haven’t even cosplayed from the Marvel universe yet either, I need to get my butt onto that as well~ I have 2 and a half week left, and I think I should manage if my EVA + worbla arrives in time. Bracers are ready for paint + Arm ring + tiara. The base of the sword is also ready. The dragon details might take me a while as there is many small details going on at the guard/handle. Most worried about the chestplate part. I decided to make it out of EVA, and most of my progress will be up for my Patrons. ;3 Wish me luck guys! Time is cutting it short, so my VLOG’s will be put on hold until then. I plan on vlogging during the premiere day though! Hope you all are excited for that. ;D Read More
I have finally managed to sit down and write this after some days of rest~ I told you all I would be more active on my blog, and that will continue! ^3^ This year I had the honor of guesting expOtaku Almeria in Spain! My heart always drops when I get invited to events, my mind is like “What? Really? They want me there? ;o;”, then I shed some tears of joy. This was my first time in Spain, since I was unable to go last year as I got sick. But WOOOW, Spain is super beautiful! It is so different from Norway, so I was filming everything like a crazy tourist! :’D The first day we got to explore Almeria a little, we went to the beach and ended up eating a lot of the most amazing ice cream ever! So goooood! So the first day was pretty much a day of relaxing. I went to bed at 7 PM, as I hadn’t gotten any sleep the day before. I woke up at 7 AM the next day, fully rested and full of energy! The first day of expOtaku I wore my Sawako Kuronuma cosplay from Kimi ni Todoke for the first time at […] Read More
It is time to talk about my experience from GIGACON 2015! I was an invited guest this year along with Kairi in Cosplayland and Tanzoir, two super sweet girls whom I love very much! <3 For GIGACON, I wanted to finish my Arcade Miss Fortune in time for the Cosplay Contest, so there were many sleep-less nights in order to get her ready for the judging, which took place on Saturday, but I freaking did it! A huge thanks to Chris for helping me cut and sand, without him this Arcade MF would never have happened in time! :O Kairi in Cosplayland also managed to complete her Arcade Riven! So we got to take some super awesome Arcade pictures if you scroll down below~ I would write about each day, but it was mostly me working on Arcade Miss Fortune, so there is not a lot to say around that, aside from that I was working really hard on getting her ready, but of course I will write about all the other stuff I did, so here you all go: This year I decided to sit out with the LAN participants, I think it’s more social and tons of fun […] Read More
Hello lovelies! Hope you all are doing well! Last weekend I was attending KawaiiCon 4 which took place in Porsgrunn! Which is super close to my home town Skien, so it was really awesome seeing an anime event this close to my home town! I had so much fun stuff to do during this weekend! I was a part of the opening show, judged their cosplay contest, and had a panel~ So there was always so much fun stuff going on 24/7. Day 1 Day one started pretty early, I had to get up at 7 in the morning so we were able to rehearse at least once before the opening show went on for real. I was playing Tamaki’s Mother (The Queen), and the Evil Princess, (Ganondorf in disguise) during the show. I was pretty nervous, as we just had gotten into all of the script one day before, but it all turned out great! I really enjoyed playing the part of the Evil Princess, especially since I dressed up to look like Cadence during the play! (My Little Pony related) I’m going to show you guys a video of it later~ After the opening show was done, I […] Read More
I am back home from Stockholm, and started working on my Arcade Miss Fortune again! LCS Stockholm was amazing! It was such an honor being invited by Riot Games. They are always such a pleasure to work with! I was lucky enough that I could stay with my Swedish friend, Laura Craft, during this event! I always miss my Swedish friends, they’re just amazing! Riot teamed up Laura Craft ( Karma & Ziggs), Amenoo Cosplay ( Lux and Annie), Ciwiel (Miss Fortune), Illeda art and Cosplay (Zed) and myself to guest during the event. Most of us knew each other from before, but it was also nice making new friends! Like Illeda, I’d only spoken to her once before. O: Day 1: I arrived one day before the event so I could settle down and wake up well rested. We got to the event around 12:00 during lunch time and got our cosplays on. Riot had put up their own “Cosplay Hospitality” spot where cosplayers could get dressed and got some snacks/water. Erin ( Riot Yuka) took good care of us along with two other Rioters, you girls did an amazing job! <3 After we all got dressed, we headed […] 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
