Set Debut - Katsucon.

I'm really excited to be doing all of these. I know Q-Feuille has been pushed back twice already, but I'm confident she will be finished in time for Katsucon. I am however looking forward to doing Layla the most for the sheer fact she is one of my favorite anime characters.


End of the Con Season and Updates

Youmacon was so much fun! I saw so many of you there. There was very few of you that I actually did not get to see. For those of you that I missed, I hope to see you soon and I'm sorry that I missed you. For those that I barely saw, well, we should see each other again soon too! Finally, if we actually got a chance to chill this year, wow! You guys made Youmacon super enjoyable for me. It definitely was one of the factors that made the con for me. The locations for photos at Youmacon is also really nice, however it was just too damn cold to shoot outside. So I was disappointed I couldn't shoot outside. I didn't really get to cosplay at Youmacon unfortunately, but I still enjoyed myself regardless. I only wore Jessica and Q-Feuille had technical problems. In conclusion, I absolutely want to return to Youmacon next year.

Overall, the con season has been an amazing journey for me. I've never been to so many conventions before in one year. I feel like one of those popular kids in high school to be honest. Why? Well, simply because I feel rich in friendship. I've gained so many friends this year and have really been to exposed to so much in the cosplay world. I struggled with friendships at times through high school, so this has been an amazing experience for me. It's really all thanks to picking up cosplay photography. So I am extremely grateful 100%. I don't even care how cliche that sounds too because it's true. My life has taken a dramatic turn for the better. Cosplay photography has definitely enabled me to become more confident when interacting with people. I now have the courage to actually interact with other cosplayers and even ask to shoot with them. To be honest, before picking up the hobby I would have laughed at you if you told me how many cosplayers I've shot to this day. I used to be very intimidated by people, and although I struggle with this at times cosplay photograph has helped my greatly overcome this.

TL;DR -- Youmacon was fun and the 2012 con season was ah-mae-zing! SEE YOU IN 2013.

Also, for any of my cosplay updates, I now have a fan page which you can go "like," here.

For those of you looking to book shoots with me at Youmacon, booking opens up on October 12.

As far as cosplaying on my end, I'm not 100% sure what I'll be brining yet. I'm pretty sure I'll be bringing Jessica Rabbit as one of my returning cosplays.  As far as any new cosplays, I'd really like to do Q-Feuille from KIDDY GiRL-AND. I was suppose to do that one for Otakuthon, but it never was able to get done. Though, I have the wig and materials lying around! It is pending whether or not I am able to get it commissioned.

If you would like to help support any traveling funds for Youmacon, you can head on over to here if you wish to donate : [link]
Your donations will help cover the cost of my flight! They're also greatly appreciated.

Hi guys! I know it's not for a while, but in early November I plan on heading to Detroit for Youmacon. This convention is extremely important to me because it'll be the first convention where I have been granted Press. Not only this, but it looks like a pretty amazing convention! I also like how Youmacon is in the Fall because there are not many Fall conventions out there. My only problem now is I'm trying to book  a flight to return home because I can only skip an x amount of school days before I fail a class as a college student (at least to return home, I plan on driving out there). As most of us know, flying is pretty expensive! At the very least, I'm throwing this journal entry out there to see if there's anyone willing to help me in my funds and do shoots with me at Youmacon. Con going is pretty tough on my pocket, especially with my photography and cosplaying. So overall, I do hope if you're going to Youmacon, you'll consider helping me out and shooting with me! <3 If not, thanks so much for reading this and I hope to see you at another convention in the future! I also want to continue showing you guys cosplays that deserve to be highlighted!

A small update on my processing : I've started to touch upon Otakuthon photos. I still have photos to process from Otakon, but I will process more after I have touched upon Otakuthon

There has been a small change in my line-up for Otakon. All is still according to plan for Otakuthon.

Planned Cosplay Schedule for Otakon



Rio (Hello Kitty to Issho! Block Crash 123!!) will be worn Friday and Sunday. Making its comeback is Zero Suit Samus set for Saturday. I didn't really get any pictures in Samus that I was absolutely in love with, which is why I have decided to return her for Otakon.

Planned Cosplay Schedule for Otakuthon



Shampoo will return for Otakuthon again on Friday, with ~SeibaTooth. Q-Feuille (Kiddy GiRL-AND) will be worn Saturday with ~SeibaTooth as my Ascoeur. Sunday is still up in the air but we'll most likely be wearing one of these two outfits together.

Regarding Photoshoots

If you wish to schedule a photoshoot with me, send me a note with what you'll be cosplaying at for either Ota or Otaku. Photoshoots will be granted upon my interests in the costume. Thanks for understanding!

Anime Boston & Post-Katsucon!

Katsucon was amazing! I hope you've been enjoying the cosplays I've been posting from there on here. I still have more coming, so stay tuned! Editing is just taking me a while and I like uploading my stuff one day at a time. I would definitely love to return next year to Katsucon. Anyways! On to the future with Anime Boston!

Here is my cosplay line-up confirmed and ready to go! As some of you may know, I was never able to debut Jessica Rabbit at Katsucon due to technical difficulties. So instead, with the help of a new seamstress and good friends, I will be debuting Jessica at Anime Boston!

lineup

As of right now, here is my planned cosplay schedule :
Thursday
N/A - Shooting only.
Friday
Morning & Day : Honey Kisaragi from Cutie Honey now with *BlackRoseMikage as Natsuko Aki.
Night : Katherine McBride from Catherine with ~Misa-on-Wheels as Catherine.
Saturday
Morning : Shooting & Preparing as Robin Nico.
Mid-Morning to Afternoon : Time-Skip Robin Nico from One Piece with completed group including ~Deviyantee as Luffy, ~S0methingW1cked as Nami, and ~staticguru as Sanji. The rest of my group I haven't really met yet, as I was sorta pulled into the cosplay by these three ^-^; However, I am quite happy and excited to be cosplaying with my dear friends!
Afternoon to Night : Back to Honey.
Sunday
Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Since Sunday will be Easter on Anime Boston, I'm thinking about wearing bunny ears with my Jessica cosplay. What do you guys think? Should I do it? Thoughts, opinions? I'll most likely be investing in a Roger plushie though too!
lineup

Finally -- I'll also be rooming with my good friend ~Krazikupo while assisting with her stuff to the Artist Alley. So make sure you check out her stuff while you're there at the Artist Alley!

Futhermore -- Don't forget to check out the amazing tailor and seamstress who will be responsible for my Honey and Jessica cosplays because I cannot sew!
Honey Kisaragi costume made by *Faxen.
Jessica Rabbit costume made by ~Lo-Botomy.

And no worries, even though my schedule says shooting for Thursday and Saturday, I'll still be shooting for all 4 days!

So much information, am I forgetting anything?!

First Daily Deviation!

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 8, 2011, 8:49 PM
WOW! I cannot believe I received a Daily Deviation!! I almost did not believe it. Literally, I looked at my messages wondering why I had so many and saw I got a DD! O: It's amazing!! I'm astonished! I've wanted one for so long too and never thought I would receive one! I also would never have expected "Dangerous Vixen" to receive one either. You guys should have seen my spaz this morning too x3 I was freaking out. ANYWAYS, thank you SO much to `Minato-Kushina for suggesting my deviation! Also, big thanks to ^DistortedSmile for agreeing to suggest me. I am forever grateful!!

Also, sorry for little updates lately by not posting a lot of new stuff lately. I've been so busy. My life is kind of hectic!

I need your help! + Updates

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 28, 2011, 7:06 AM
I will be submitting to my art to a public gallery this fall and I need your help on which piece(s) you think I should submit! So if you could please, please take a moment to look over my gallery and suggest which work(s) you think I should submit it would be of much help to me!! I really have no idea what I want to submit so suggestions are much appreciated. I only have a little less than a month to submit something. Also, please keep in mind they have to be something I photographed and not a modeling picture or me and/or something I drew.

Are you a fan of me on Facebook yet?
Check it out here ----> Facebook

Also, last time I asked your advice on what I should cosplay as next. I've deciding to go with Honey Kisaragi from Cutie Honey. Because I cannot sew I will be commissioning *Faxen to make this cosplay for me.

First off, thanks so much to my new watchers. Your continuous support means a lot to me! Also, huge thanks to my long time watchers who still watch me. Furthermore; I got a new lens :D It's a nifty fifty (50 mm) lens that allows me to get a f-stop of 1.8 :3 Which means, blurry backgrounds (yay~). I can't zoom in or out with it but over all it's a good lens and I really enjoy it.

I'm using my Facebook fan page again and I'm trying to update it a lot more too. I was on hiatus with it for a while. With that being said, are you guys my fans on Facebook, yet? O:
Check it out here ----> Facebook

Lastly, I'm going to be commissioning a cosplay again soon (because I can't sew) and I need peoples help deciding which character I should cosplay as. The nominees are Honey Kisaragi from Cutie Honey ([link], Silvia de Alisia from Genesis of Aquarion ([link], Ayumi Hamasaki's PV of Ladies Night ([link], or Layla Hamilton (Juliet Version) from Kaleido Star ([link]. I'm also up to suggestions as well. You can cast your vote as a comment here or you can vote via this pole.

New Puppy, Gallery Showing, & 600 watchers!

Journal Entry: Sat Apr 30, 2011, 3:40 PM
Hi guys! x3 I have great news! As hopefully most of you know, my last dog (Brodie) had to be put down a month ago because he had lymphoma. He is deeply missed and will always be in my heart. On the brighter side, last night I was surprised with a new puppy! He's so cute, but he's hyper! Very much different from Brodie, who was the biggest couch potato you'd ever meet. Well, just like Brodie, he too is a boxer. His name is K.O. and he's 2 and a half years old.

ko
Isn't he cute? x3

Also, I've reached 600 watchers and I'm really grateful! Thanks so much to all of you! Your support really means a lot to me.

Finally, my art work is being show cased in a local art show in my hometown x3 Neat-o, huh?

Pikachu-Kitty and More

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 27, 2011, 5:37 PM
pikachu kitty

Waring, this is a rant.

I have never seen THIS (the Pikachu-Kitty) picture uploaded so many times here to deviantArt. It violates so many of dA's terms. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this image and it's really gotten on my nerves. People, knock it off. This is a site for your art, meaning, something YOU have done or made. This is a site for YOUR work. This is not a Photobucket or Tumblr where you can share other people's artwork.  I'm not just talking about the Pikachu-Kitty (however it's what made me write this rant) but other deviations that don't  belong here too. For example, memes. I have seen so many Y U NO Guy and Justin Bieber memes on here. Yeah, they can be funny, but they don't belong here! The same goes with porn. Nobody wants to see that shit! Honestly. Take that somewhere else for crying out loud. Don't taint our beloved dA, especially with your pornographic snapshots/webcam shots.  No matter what you say, that is not art and nor will it ever be. Not only are the people who upload it bad enough, but it's the people that favorite these things too. The more people who favorite a deviation the more popular it gets, which means the more it moves towards front page. Which means a much more deserving deviation gets unnoticed. Please, if you see any deviation that violates terms, report it, don't encourage it. Also, it happens less often (I think), but don't steal other people's artwork either. Let the artist upload it, not you. Anyways, I'm sorry for writing this. I'm just really fed up with it. Sure, I know dA will all always have deviations that violate dA's terms, but can't I dream of a dA that's free of any of this stuff? I can't be the only one. Also, if you read this, thank you.

500 Beautiful People

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 18, 2011, 2:51 PM
Hi again everyone! I'm excited to announce that as of today I have reached five-hundred watchers. This is really exciting for me, especially since I've really only been working with photography for about a year now! ^.^; I'd really thank all of you, new and old watchers. It means so much to me. Also, some of you may have noticed I scrapped a lot of my old deviations. I may scrap more in the future but I'm leaving my gallery as is for now. I was really prompted to scrap about half of my gallery because of deviantArt's new deviation viewer when it shows "More from GanguroLove" on the right hand side >.<; It's kind of annoying but good at the same time too. Hm, so I don't have too much more to say.
