"All I touch turns to stardust;
Displaying an intrinsic beauty that is both inspiring and yet,
Is dubbed the work of dreamer's fancy.

Society forgets itself,
For what is the world around us composed of, but stardust?"


~ A child of endless dreams


Yo! I'm Ko, a cosplay fanatic who occasionally dabbles in a variety of other art forms, including drawing, painting, writing, and photography. A majority of my work is available here, but if you're interested in my photography or cosplay group, please visit:
:iconwisteriaandroses: (Photography) and :iconlastminproductionz: :iconlastminpro: (Cosplay Group). For my personal cosplay account, please visit Ko-chan's Cosplay on FB.

I've been cosplaying since I was 7 years old (even earlier, if you count Disney characters), and have been obsessed with it ever since. My first anime cosplay was Sailor Moon, and I've done way too many characters to count since then. My best guesstimate of how many I've done can be found on my "Cosplay I've Done I+ II" journals, but there are always ones I forget to list, so who knows how many I've actually completed? ^^;

I also do commissions (see my Cosplay + Art/Jewelry commissions journals for details), and base my rates on how much time/effort I will have to devote to the project and how intricate the drawing/costume/etc. is.
For cosplay commissions, I have a separate fee for labor and another for materials (if the client is unable to purchase materials on their own/supply them for the project). There is also a separate shipping fee (if required), and an additional expedited/rush fee for projects requested less than a month in advance of the due date (20% of labor fee cost). Please note me if you are interested in commissioning me for anything. :)

If you're new to cosplay or are just looking for someone to explain something specific that you're having trouble with, feel free to note me with your question, and I'll do my best to help. :)

:star:NEW:star:

Hey, guys! Just wanted to let you know that I made an account for my cosplay on FB, so you can keep up with my stuff there, now, too! I'm still in the process of uploading/linking everything, but you can check out my personal favorite pics, commissions/commission w.i.p., make up tests/personal w.i.p., and links to my showcases, past skits, con recaps, etc. Feel free to stop by and leave any comments/questions/etc. you have, and I'll answer asap! :) [link]










Just got back from DAiCon 2012 in Davis, CA. It was a small, "first time" convention (though they called it DAiCon last year and still charged admission, it wasn't as big... more of a test run, really), and :iconamericanhybrid: :iconmirai-noah: :iconwater-nocturne: and I all went to support :iconmagikarparmy: , who was the official cosplayer for the female mascot (Ani)/double-booked as pianist + butler at the maid cafe.

Since we couldn't afford badges (Fanime budgeting and all that), we mainly just trolled around outside/on the ground floor of the MU, taking pics + posing for videos + whatnot. We'll be featured in another video by Mamuro5254i as our secret YGO cosplays (we decided to give them a teaser/test run, since they're both mostly done. I just have the prop left, and Yami just needs his prop/more studs on his belts). Here's his finished video here: [link]

I'll post a short response video tonight (view it here once it's processed: [link] ), and start working on a mixed showcase/slideshow of our photo shoots later this week. :)

For more info on DAiCon, please visit: [link]





Hey, guys! Just letting you know that I'm now offering commissioned Duke Devlin/Ryuji Ootogi dice earrings for $5 each (+ shipping). They come in pierced or clip on. :)





:bulletblack: Congratulations to :iconthunderemperorraite: for catching the kiriban again! I'll try to complete your prize as soon as I can. :)










Announcing a promotional Charity Event!

Starting December 20, 2011, $1 for every $5 in ordered commissions will be donated to the Red Cross or Save The Children foundation (the commissioner gets to choose). This includes commissions of all mediums (drawing/painting/stock photography/charms/jewelry/cosplay).

A list of applicable commissions will be posted, along with dates of donations, in order to keep track of/verify how much is donated.

This event will end May 1, 2012, so if you'd like to take part, please finalize your orders before then.











I'd like to remind all of you that :heart: I TAKE COMMISSIONS! :heart: (be they art, poetry, prose, jewelry, props, accessories, wig styling, costumes, or general sewing) I'm still job hunting, so any money I make is purely from commission work + selling stuff on ebay. :iconcryforeverplz:

For prices/details, please read my Cosplay Commissions and Art/Jewelry Commissions journals. I also do stock pose commissions.

Older News


So I've had a few people ask me where I buy my wonderflex, since they're interested in using it themselves. Since I don't remember exactly who they were (lol bad short term memory...), and a lot of other people probably want to know, too, I figured I'd just post it in a journal instead of trying to remember who asked and telling them individually. ^^;

SO here's the site I had my dad get it from (my current supply was my joint xmas + bday present from a few years back) : Dazian.com

Currently Working On...


For me:

- Halloween Town Sora bat wings
(need to swap old magnets with bigger ones, see if they work, then paint them)

- Roxas comforter/blanket
(need to put the 'X' on, sew the last layer, + put a zipper in)

hey ko chan I have a question if 4kids is selling the yugioh license for the auction what will happen to the yugioh francise and im worried about it because I am a huge yugioh fan for years and I still love it in the dub version XD!

Lol I have no frakking idea. XD Most likely they'll sell to another studio who will dub/market it in the USA, like Funimation or Viz or something like that, and it will hopefully be all the better for it. Like when 4Kids lost One Piece to Funimation (I think?) and it stopped being over-edited and stupid. Idk, I don't really keep up with licensing and stuff like that, I'm just guessing. -shrug-
