I’ve been taking commissions for a few years now, but after a few builds I did over the summer, I decided that I’d now like to hopefully take them on more regularly!

Officially announcing that I am available for commissions! As of the time of posting, I have good availability for the next few months, so now is the time to start inquiring, especially if there is anything you are looking to have made in time for the early 2026 con season!

Recently finished up this commissioned build of Percy’s revolver Animus from Critical Role, with a design adapted from one of @drawmaevedraw.bsky.social’s wonderful pieces of concept art! 3D modeled, printed, and painted using a wide variety of different paints and finishes. #criticalrole

Costa Del Sol Cloud is almost done! Have been wanting to make this one since Rebirth came out. Feels kinda weird to be making a project relevant to the season for once lol. Excited to shoot some photos of the costume later this month!

Was happy to work on this piece for @leafstranger.bsky.social! I've gotten into Gundam since originally working on this model, though I do still need to get around to watching The Witch from Mercury 👀

Have been busy crunching out parts for Qifrey the past two weeks before I go out of town! Will be going to faire next week, so I’m trying to get him wearable by this weekend and will then refine some parts of the costume later on.

Finished assembling my mockup the other day, so I’ve started working on my gloves for Alphinaud! Hand stitching has never been a strong suit of mine, but I’m slowly starting to get better at putting these together - I’ll eventually use the same pattern and white lambskin for Emet’s gloves as well.

Excited to be competing with Alphinaud at H+H Americas’ cosplay contest next month! Have been busy working on a small assortment of fixes since I last wore him in October, and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished build all together!

Won’t have time for props, but thanks to @malindachan.bsky.social lending me the coat and wig, I’ll now be bringing Nero to ASTL for something easy to run around with friends in!
Might see if I can work on putting together the full costume for myself later this year hehe

Been busy getting my panel ready for ASTL, but I got my first piece for Qifrey in the other day! He’s gonna be my main summer project, and while browsing eBay I found the perfect base pair of glasses! Gonna add the center piece, tint one lens, and might try drilling a hole to add an chain + ear loop

I had an amazing time at @animemilwaukee.org this past weekend! This was my second time attending, and this year might have cemented the show as one on my regular circuit. Very thankful that I could come up again this year and see all these lovely peoples ❤️❤️❤️

Have been crunching out my last things for AMKE the past few days, but I’m now all packed and ready to go! Finished up Jin-woo’s wig last night, and it honestly might be one of my best, which is a bit ridiculous considering it’s the one I’ve put the least amount of effort into lol

Hand Lantern complete!
3D modeled, printed, prepped and painted by me! Despite being a relatively simple design, this is actually one of my favorite things I’ve modeled - little accessories like this always make me happy hehe.

Mr. Jin-woo Solo Leveling was a late plan for AMKE I didn’t think I’d be able to do since I had accidentally made his daggers too big too fit in my bags and I didn’t realize until I had already started working on them, but I decided to reprint them and I’m planning to bring the costume once again 🫡

Picked up some white and gold lambskin from District Leathers for making new gloves for Alphinaud, and eventually gloves for Emet hehe.
Haven’t made gusseted gloves before, but this is way more material than I actually need so I’ll have extra to figure it out lol.
