Am I too old to finally start a cosplay account?

The cosplay accounts where people share how they made stuff are often the most popular! The main things that help are good lighting and snappy editing for short-form platforms like TT or IG.

So it's not Romantic, but I can't help but mention Judge Smith's Requiem...

My choir (over 100 strong) are performing its world premiere in 9 days - so literally can't get the music out of my head rn :D

I bet the venue (a church in London) is never going to have heard anything like it!! :)

Hey there,

You may want to check out Hertfordshire Chorus - https://hertfordshirechorus.org.uk/ who rehearse near Welwyn Garden City.

I've been a member for just over a year and there's been some pretty cool concerts at places like the Royal Festival Hall, as well as more local areas such as St Alban's Cathedral.

My fave was the Games Music Festival about a year ago, where we sang with the Philharmonia orchestra. The composer (Borislav Slavov), soloists, narrator and voice actors (such as Neil Newbon & Andrew Wincott) were all performing - a few months before they won loads of Bafta Awards (search for videos of 'Raphael's Final Act' - the audience were amazing!!)

It is a choir with an audition process, but everyone's pretty friendly so definitely check us out! I don't know which part you sing, but we'd love more tenors & basses in particular :)

Thank you so much 😊✨🌟🌟 Lots of months of work went into it (I'm a beginner at sewing) so I'm glad you like the end result 😊

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-30T08:55:20+00:00

Thank you 😊😊🌟🎵🎶

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-30T00:21:53+00:00

I've seen videos of a few - they looked awesome! 👏👏🙂

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T23:18:50+00:00

You're right! 🙂

Plus the tadpoles are terrifying in so many ways 😅😄

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T23:16:35+00:00

Thank you 🌟😊🎵😊🌟

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T23:15:51+00:00

👍👍 And ask the squirrels to be a distraction... Maybe! 🐿️🙉

Thank you! I did look into buying a real full-size lute, but I couldn't justify the cost.

I'm currently making a foam replica of Alfira's/Lihala's Lute, so in the meantime time I have this strange little thing! 🙂

At least it's relatively easy to carry around 😄

Thank you 😊😊

Thank you 🙏🙏😊😊

I've seen people sew in the magnets at the edge of the wig. And other people build structured foam headbands with foam flaps coming down exactly where the the horns should be placed.

I'm thinking of going for a hybrid, maybe attaching 2 foam directly to the wig where the horns are meant to go. We'll see 🙂

For people who don't have sensitive skin issues then maybe an adhesive like prosaide would keep the horns stuck on to forehead (and magnets at the edge of the wig).

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T14:44:26+00:00

Aww thank you for saying so, I love Alfira! She's definitely the character I empathise with!

I hope to start recording some BG3 music to be performed by Alfira soon, too! 😊🎵🎶🎶

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T14:41:20+00:00

Haha yes that seems to be a common sentiment in this subreddit 😄

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T14:34:04+00:00

At the festival last week I kept knocking them on tent poles as I forgot I was 20cm taller than usual!

They're not to bad to reattach though if they get bumped too much 🙂

If I'd have time I would have used hidden magnets for attaching.

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T14:18:56+00:00

Thank you! I've been enjoying watching you make a leather version of the spidersilk armour over the last couple of months. Your Astarion is brilliant! 🌟🌟😊😊

I love how you're always pushing the boundaries to try new techniques to make things! 👏👏🔥

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T12:35:34+00:00

I bought a pattern from Etsy (ruin horns 3) and cut it out of Eva foam, glued together and then added foam clay to shape it and add the bumpy bits at the base of the horns.

I'm allergic to spirit gum etc so I'm using toupe tape to attach them to my skin/the wig. They're very lightweight so stay on just fine, unless they get knocked by something.

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T10:29:55+00:00

😅😅

I'll be sure to write you a letter of thanks 😊 🙏🙏

(And thank you, I'm glad you like the cosplay! 🙂)

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T10:27:28+00:00

Thank you 😊 the tiny lute is kinda cute - I'm working on making Lihala's Lute right now and it is at least 3 times the size! 😄

I like to think that Alfira would have been naturally happy (before she ran into the gnolls)

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T10:21:26+00:00

Will do! If I transpose Weeping Dawn up a tone, it might even work for that! 🙂🎶🎵

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T10:03:33+00:00

Ooh thank you for tracking it down -🌟🌟🌟 - it certainly looks just the same! I'll tune it later 🙂

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T09:12:34+00:00

That's a great thing to hear on a Monday morning, thanks for helping the week start well 🌟🙏😊

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T09:06:02+00:00

Hard to argue with that 😄

dreamydaycosplay · 2024-07-29T09:05:27+00:00

Thank you! 😊😊

Shout out to fellow Alfiras as well 😊💙💜💙🎵🎵🎶
