I am going to -try- to have Luluci for AX purely because I need a comfy Sunday costume and I found a base dress I can add accessories to. I could wear Belle, but I am a little tired of it. Started with her hat last night. #witchhatatelier #cosplaywip

Working on making a Terra cosplay for Anime Expo! Gradient dyed her cape today. Thinking I’ll use dye-na-flow on wet chiffon to get the watercolor look of the flowers on her cape. #terra #finalfantasy #cosplaywip #cosplay

Sketches for Kanae! I felt of the three butterfly sisters that could get away with making her a little bit more elegant and fancy 🦋🌸 #kanae #demonslayer #animeart #characterart

Doing some puff vinyl tests for Frieren. This stuff is more involved than other vinyl, but I think I understand enough to move on to an actual design.

Making some Shinobu upgrades. Need to make the pattern before I cut the pieces. I originally wanted an embroidered zori look, but had to paint my base sandals for Katsucrunch 😅 #cosplaywip #cosplayprogress

Butterfly Dance 🦋 Had to do a sleeve toss with Shinobu! Love an excuse to get some dynamic fabric action in a photo. 📷: @honeyheather.bsky.social #shinobu #shinobucosplay #kimetsunoyaibacosplay #kimetsunoyaiba #butterflycostume

So excited for photos of @amiephotos.bsky.social and I together as Mitsuri and Shinobu! 💖🦋 I love how vibrant and colorful we are together! Costumes both made by us 📷: @honeyheather.bsky.social 🔹 Designs by: @dessidesudesign.bsky.social #demonslayer #demonslayercosplay #animecosplay

"Content" is something to fill an empty vessel: it repositions your view of the world to align with corporations. Art becomes something disposable, fungible, serving a financial interest and nothing more. The word "artist" is right there; I beg you to claim it and leave "content creator" to molder

Some Umi from last year in anticipation for more Magic Knight Rayearth news later this month 🩵 📷: @karamelphotography.bsky.social #umi #magicknightrayearth #animecosplay #cosplay #artnouveau

Pincushion fairy! Decided to draw a few sewing themed fairies. I’ll be drawing a thimble fairy next for this set. #fairy #fairyart #fantasyart #characterart #illustration

One of the greenest costumes I have made fitting for St. Patrick’s Day, Art Deco Loki! I don’t gravitate to green very much in my costume choices, but I feel like I have made more green costumes in recent years. 📷 : s1price_lightworks (IG) #loki #lokicosplay #artdeco #marvelcosplay

Moshi moshi 🦋Love this new Shinobu photo taken at Katsu. I’ve been enjoying working on drawing, but am starting to feel the pull to do some sewing again post Katsu. 📷: @tansuru.bsky.social #shinobu #shinobucosplay #demonslayer #demonslayercosplay #animecosplay

Sketches for Kanao! I had to find a way to incorporate Shinobu somehow with her butterfly and also drew inspiration from Kanao’s flower breathing style with the cherry blossom motif 🦋🌸 #kanao #kanaodemonslayer #demonslayerfanart #demonslayer #animeart

First Shinobu photo from day 0 of Katsucon from lightning fast @dtjaaaam.bsky.social ! I love this costume so much, and had a lot of fun with finding ways to incorporate butterflies and wisteria back when I was designing her. #shinobu #shinobucosplay #demonslayercosplay #katsucon #katsucon2026

Frieren season 2 is here! It's been nice to see the fantasy genre get some love again in anime. Have a throwback to my Frieren design artwork I did a while back! #frieren #frierencosplay #animeart #illustration #characterart

Starting to get photos back of Mira from MagFest and I am so happy with how the iridescent patterns photograph 😭 I have a few fixes and things I missed to make for Katsu. Excited to wear her there next month! 📷: @dtjaaaam.bsky.social #kpopdemonhunters #kpopdemonhunterscosplay #mira #cosplay

Lovely new photos of my Yui cosplay from Katsucon earlier this year. I do not miss making all the dragon scales for the sleeves, but I do love the final result 😅 📷: @lacee-girl.bsky.social #fushigiyuugi #animecosplay #cosplay #katsucon

Probably should start sharing Shinobu progress over here! First up is the butterfly embroidery I have done so far and progress on the obi. #shinobu #demonslayer #cosplay #cosplaywip

Kanao design sketches are now up over on my Ko-fi! 🌸🌸 ko-fi.com/dessi_desu #kanao #demonslayer #animeart #characterart

Posting some seasonally appropriate Ganyu. It's technically still Fall for a few more days, but it certainly feels like Winter 🥶 📷 Photography by: @aleestudios.bsky.social #ganyu #genshinimpactcosplay #ganyucosplay #cosplay

Transferable cosplay skills: show this to your parents if they say “cosplay is a waste of time” 😉 What have you learned through cosplay? 🤔 #cosplay #cosplayer #wip

New photo of Art Nouveau Umi! I loved being able to do a water photoshoot with best water themed magical girl a few months ago! 📷: @karamelphotography.bsky.social 🗡️ Umi sword borrowed from @sunsetdragon.bsky.social #MagicKnightRayearth #UmiRyuuzaki #animecosplay #ArtNouveau

I have been wanting to draw Shinobu for years and after watching Demon Slayer Infinity Castle I had to finally do it. I love an intelligent girl with an indomitable will 💜🦋 Back view and details are up in my Ko☕fi in the B l 0 #shinobu #demonslayer #demonslayercosplay #kimetsunoyaiba

Figuring out my fabrics for Shinobu. Three projects in a row that have not been blue 😆

Gathering materials for my Katsucon project has me thinking about last year's project, my own take on Yui from Fushigi Yuugi! 📷 : kvnc.nef (IG) and focus_button (IG) 🐉Design: @dessidesudesign.bsky.social #cosplay #animecosplay #fushigiyuugi #yuihongo

Had a great weekend vending in Neko Con's artist alley for the first time. Neko Con was actually one of the first cons I ever attended many moons ago, so this was a personally meaningful con for me to be vending at. #nekocon #nekocon2025 #artistalley #animeart #illustration

All set up at Neko Con artist alley at table 66! #nekocon #artistalley #animeart #illustration #artprints

Jellyfish mermaid! Jellyfish are like nature's chiffon, so I had a lot of fun with the translucency and frills on the jellies 🪼 #jellyfish #mermaid #originalcharacter #characterart #illustration

Cosplay side by side of Cait Sith! I still have a few small details to add and the megaphone, but I'm pretty happy with the final results of this costume 🐈‍⬛📣 📷: @amiephotos.bsky.social Costume based on art by: @dessidesudesign.bsky.social #caitsith #finalfantasy7 #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay
