Hello internet!  And all those that are friends, fans, and watchers!
I thought it's about time to give a report on what I've been up to and update my stash of projects.

First of all what's happened recently.

Nihon Matsuri was lots of fun! The production went well without major hiccups. And someone was so kind enough to record Bower& Peaches' skit and upload it onto YouTube!  Peach is cosplayed by
Watch it here: [link]

Thankyou Ixerim!

While we're on the topic of YouTube videos apparently to my absence of memory I can no longer log into my old account by the name of " Inuebony"
So I decided to start anew, my new YouTube Account can be found here:

This account will be a primary source to find many of my costume videos.
Please subscribe if you'd like to see more costumes!

Along with that I've uploaded my first WIP video on my cosplay for 2012
Keroberos from Card Captors Sakura. A full sized quad suit and my first to complete by October 2012

while I was attending rehearsals for Nihon Matsuri cosplay showcase I met a group of wonderfully talented cosplayers  that wanted to do a Card Captors Sakura group and mentioned a cosplay that's been on my list of 'future costumes' that would fit in the group. Well I was hopeful to work on Kero in like 2030 or something but may as well start now.  So he'll be my major cosplay this year.

that being said it pushes back re-building Renamon, and my other personal project a quadsuit triceratops by the name of Mellon.

Quickly learning the difficulties I will have with Kero, Renamon will NOT be attending Anime Banzai. You'll most likely see me either in the suit or in a hoodie that looks like Chibi Kero during down time.

So I guess it makes it official for me at least that this year at Anime Banzai will be CLAMP or CCS

Also for Anime Banzai this year I'm working in collaboration with Sailor Crafty to work on a 'Beginner's guide to building mascot like Cosplays" Panel. So if you're a local Utahan and would like to learn how to make mascot like cosplays, example: my Renamon, and Bowser, or Sailor Crafty's  Lugia. Keep an eye out for that panel this Anime Banzai. And Thank you to those allowing us to feature photos of your works!

I've been introduced to a wonderful website, instructables.com.  That gives an opportunity to give tutorials on how to make anything crafty. And so I took some time and wrote up a report on how I made Bowser, you're welcome to see it here:

It tells step-by-step or Part-by-part how I made the costume. So if you have questions, Answers can be found here! If you'd like to make a Bowser cosplay or a better Bowser cosplay, feel free to use this as research! Or if you'd like to learn the process of making a mascot like costume, feel free to view it and it may help you.

As a bonus I found out this morning it's been featured by instructables.com editors, Thank you guys!


So in the not to distant future if my plans aren't shifted to much again, this year and next expect Kerberos by October 2012. Mellon the Triceratops this summer 2012  (if I'm lucky) , Renamon rebuilt later 2012-early 2013.
And Zoroark Oct 2013
