More World of Heroes goodness! This time I made a Catwoman costume for their “Cosplay Piano” series for our very talented pianist, Sonya Belousova.

We decided on sort of a mash-up of Catwoman’s current comic look, and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman.

The suit was purchased and heavily altered to extend the neck and zipper. The arms and legs were shortened and taken in to fit Sonya, then the white stitches were all handsewn on by myself with elastic thread.

Cosplay Piano is an ongoing series with many more installments to come! We got some exciting stuff ahead so stay tuned.

We had such a positive response to our Superhero Speed Dating video over at World of Heroes earlier this year that we decided to give this concept another shot – with supervillains this time!

Like the last one, I was costumer/wardrobe/cosplayer wrangler for this.

Check out our deleted scenes too! 

Just worked on this awesome Valentine’s day short for Stan Lee’s World of Heroes! Check it out

I was costumer on this, however since the turnaround for the costumes was so short I ended up casting many of my talented costumer friends in this who already have beautiful superhero costumes! Besides casting roughly half the actors, I also managed costume rentals from other friends. The only costume I ended up having to make for this was Aquaman.

This project was great fun and the end result was hilarious!

I recently worked on an animatronic cougar for TBS’s recent Cougar Town promos at The Character Shop!

I did a lot on this little fella! I built most of his body under the supervision and direction of the great Billy Bryan. (The Stay Puft Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters!) I also helped do a lot of fur transfers once his base body was complete.

I also went on set with this guy for filming these spots! My first time on set as a fabricator – it was a lot of fun!

On to the spots!

Last November I worked at NODE Studios for a few weeks on preproduction for a Skyrim short!

 Here it is!

Besides starring in this in my Dragonborn costume, I also did a few other costumes for this film!  I designed the necromancer and mercenary costumes.

The necromancer costume was made by myself, and the mercenary costumes were a team effort between the director, Daniel Kim, and I.

My last job at The Character Shop was to help build this big guy!

I didn’t do anything too noteworthy this time around. Since this job was such a fast turnaround, there were tons of people working on this! I did a lot of sewing on snaps, gluing, painting, etc. Nothing I can point out on the suit, I helped a little bit everywhere!

A while ago myself and my boyfriend/photographer Max were approached by the extremely talented prop artist Volpin to shoot his Ancient Nord helmet from Skyrim with my armor!

It was awesome getting to model his amazing work!

See Volpin’s blog post with the rest of the photos here!

See his build process of the helmet here!

I’ve also updated my Dovahkiin page with all my photos as well as construction notes on how I built the armor. Check it out!

I’m proud to announce what I’ve been working on for the past month!

Myself, along with my amazing friends Sushi Monster, Vani and Daitenshi were chosen to portray characters from Web Koihime Musou for Gamania’s first cosplay event. The event includes photoshoots, a contest, and finally booth promotion for Gamania at Anime Expo 2012!

I will be cosplaying SoSo:

Learn more about the event, our characters and watch our intro videos at Web Koihime Musou’s cosplay event page!

Take a look at what I helped out with at The Character Shop back in March!

This little guy was done for a Capital One commercial and was meant to resemble a beat up Chuck-E-Cheese style animatronic.

He was a group effort and took a team of 7 people to complete. Things I was responsible for were the fur, the ears, the horns, the tail and his little beard.

See the commercial here!

Unfortunately Derpy only got a backround role. Such a shame as he turned out so cute!
