Maya's class mod 2

When my Borderlands cosplay partner saw my Maya's "book", she liked it and asked me to make one for her as well. And I promised I would, so I did :D

Firstly, I had to visit an antiquarian bookshop and search through the old and cheap books (0,20 Euro, hell yeah!). And I found a red one which I appreciated however there was a picture on the front cover, but luckily nothing on the back. So I had basically everything I needed. Except of a glue, which I totally forgot about.. -___-"

This is the one I have decided for, because Lilith wanted something red that would go with her hair colour (how ridiculous that is :D)

Firstly I cut the side forms from the cardboard and prepared some colourful paper.

I wrapped the form in it.

And used a ducktape on the back of it, as I didn't have a glue :"D

Tada~

I've painted the book with acrylics.

I forgot to mention, that I am fucking dumb, so I had to un-ducktape the sides to unite them with the cover.

Now to "borders"

Result:

:)

Bioshock photoshoot

We took advantage of the spring time (when it was still around 20-25°, not 30° like these days..-.-) I hate how the spring lasted for a couple of days and after the winter it is suddenly hot like hell. I hate winter and summer...I was looking forward to spring so much and there was none --

But back to our photoshoot.
Me and my cosplay buddy Lorean have decided to do some photoshoot when sakuras are still in bloom (that was the original idea altough in reality we focused on other flowers in bloom mostly :D). Ske asked me if I could take some photos of her Daenerys cosplay to which I agreed more than happily because I like taking photos but I am not that good (I warned her). But some of them came out nicely, I like how she smiled sometimes even though she is like me, grumpy like all the time.. -__-" :"D

I especially loved these ones of her:

Next day we did a shoot of my (still not finished) costume of Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. I am going to do the corset version of her for this years ComicSalon in september. I didn't even wanted to do the first version of her, but one day I just browsed through my closet and found a white shirt which I havent wore for a longer time so I re-sewed it and voila..:D But I haven't had any cloth left for the skirt, so that's why I wasn't quite sure about photoshoot at first. I don't like unfinished things. But then I thought, Oh, what the hell..

I was a bit happy about wearing boots but it wasn't that hot that day afterall. Also my hair didn't want to stay in a right shape -__- Yeah, it's shitty as hell. Even products wouldn't keep it at the same place. Next time I'm using only wigs...

But the shooting was fun, some of the people were looking at us of course, but I think my friend was atracting more attention the other day, so..

I like how my friend managed to take the photos, they look great, if only I was able to make my face look normal :D I look normal when I don't see the camera but the moment I know about its presence I look like an ogr. -///- Examples:

But some of them turned out really nice and it motivated to me start on DeviantArt again (here's the link to it http://sirdompayne.deviantart.com/). I had an account years ago, but I lost my password and then I didn't want to start over. But...I did. 

And after some time it reminded me why I always liked DA. Some people there are so talented and I love looking at their paintings, photos...I could spend hours browsing through..but I don't have so much time unfortunately.

And one guy mad me really happy when he edited my photo and added flying Songbird there. I was totally speechless as I didn't know him at all and he just made it because...I don't even know why. But things like these can really make my day brighter. And seeing that some people like my cosplay, my effort...it gives me so much motivation. They and my friends encourage me and inspire me to continue with it and I am grateful for it :)

And here is the pic. I love it despise the fact it has me in it :D
