Star Wars: Jabba the Hutt and Mace Windu [2019]

For detail photos, click here.

This dress has a tail. I've always wanted to do my own interpretation of Jabba the Hutt. I had this idea for years and didn't know when I'd be ready to create it. I bought the largest crinoline hoop skirt I could find, then added tons of tulle to it, in order to give this dress the Jabba volume. The dress itself is all hand dyed by me. Along with the gloves, tail, and neck ruffle. The wig is by Arda Wigs and I made the masquerade eyes as well. I made his costume in 4 days, 2 weeks before the convention. His cloak, jedi robe, undershirt, and belt were all made by me in those 4 days. He purchased the boots and pants and of course the lightsaber.

The Exorcist: Regan MacNeil [2019]

The nightgown I bought and dyed. I bought the wig and styled it. The prosthetics are quick latex ones I made and I painted her teeth as well. I had lenses planned but if you've never worn lenses before it's hard to suddenly do so.

Fortnite: Drift Stage 5 [2018]

For detail photos, click here.

This was a commission for a Halloween costume. Drift from Fortnite's pick axe, Rift Edge. Made to scale for kid/tween. Stage 2 shirt, size XL in youth [worn under hoodie] with lots of hand painting those details. Stage 4 hoodie, size XL in youth with minor alterations and detail painting.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Angel of Death and Hellboy [2018]

For detail photos, click here.

Everything is made by me. I am able to see with the headpiece on. It's light and comfortable and I'm able to slip it on and off so I can see better. The body suit is a long sleeve, turtle neck, crop top that I made and painted. The gloves are made with the same fabric and painted. The dress was made and painted. The chest was sculpted with the same material as the headpiece and then adhered to the dress. The cloak was quickly sewn together. The wings aren't as heavy or cumbersome as some thought. I had them strapped to my chest and waist so all the weight was on hips instead of my back. They are very big and a lot of people were fine with dodging them.

Shirt/pants/shoes were purchased as is. Coat was purchased and length was extended and wear and tear was added to the coat overall. Belt was purchased with pouches made for it. BPRD buckle was purchased in the past. Big Baby and Right Hand of Doom were sculpted/painted by me. Forehead prosthetic sculpted/molded/foam latex [sometimes silicone] run/painted/applied by me. All hairpieces custom ventilated by me. Contact lenses previously purchased. Additional detachable horns sculpted/molded/painted by me [not pictured].

Roller Derby Rogue from X-Men [2016]

I really enjoy the Rogue costume. It's very colourful and the mobility is the easiest. The hardest part is that I am covered head to toe with only my face exposed. I wanted to be able to wear this costume in warmer weather and not pass out. I had seen artists draw roller derby versions of several Marvel characters. The only items I reuse from the regular costume are the corset, wig, and utility belt. I remade what was the initial jumpsuit as a shirt and shorts. Remade a new pair of gloves but fingerless this time around. I painted a pair of skates, helmet, and pads. The socks were dyed and the stripes were painted.

Paul as Cyborg. All pieces were fabricated from foam. Some parts were backed with fiberglass. Glove was purchased and foam added on top. Large tube was used for arm cannon and lights were added.

Kaylee's Sweet 16 Alice in Wonderland inspired dress [2015]

I was contacted by this very sweet girl. Her 16th birthday was coming up and she wanted a dress for the party. The theme of the party was Alice in Wonderland. She wanted something that was a mashup of Alice and the Queen of Hearts. I sent her several sketches and this was the final draft. At the party, her parents and family loved the dressed very much. Paul and I even got to wear our Alice cosplays again.

X-Men: Rogue and Bishop [2014]

Me as Rogue. I bought the jacket and altered it. I made the jumpsuit, gloves, and corset [not seen in this picture but visible in other pictures]. I styled the wig, covered my boots and made the belt. Makeup by myself as well.

Pants were purchased, along the gloves and shirt that later was altered. The blunderbuss and belt were made and so were the boot covers and the quiver. The wig was also styled by me.

Alice in Wonderland: Queen of Hearts and Mad Hatter [2012]

Everything you see was hand made. The only thing I bought were the 2 corsets to make one. I knew I wasn't going to have enough time to also make a corset. A good majority of the dress was hand sewn as well. The gold squares were hand painted onto the black fabric. My mom helped me sew the fur onto the dress. The wig was fun to do and the crown is made out of the same fiber glass material as my M. Bison armour from last year. The heart fan was the most simple item, foamies and a stick haha.

The jacket and vest were purchased at thrift store. Thank you NYC for having an endless amount of those stores. The pants were also purchased at a regular clothing store. The shoes and shirt were from his own wardrobe. The hat was altered from one of those awful-looking halloween store ones. The bow tie was hand made. Of course the big ol' tea cup was thrifted as well.
