Halcybella

Spiderbella 🕸️☀️💚

After over a year, spidersonas are back :) I'd say the main reason this concept came about... was because I'm wildly indecisive about colors/concepts and want to cram in every possible idea I can. 😅 (Evident in my hair color, and the 10+ animal motifs on my knight armor lol)

Really though, I wanted to incorporate my love of nature and the warmth of the sun into my spider suit because it's something I enjoy so much, that could also be loosely associated with spiders! You'll notice the...

Hello + here's what's goin on in my life!

Life has been suddenly VERY busy this month and I feel like y'all deserve some updates since it's been almost a week 😭 Thank you again for being here. On all the things that have gone on...
1. I have 2 cosplay projects I was briefed on recently with pretty tight deadlines, so that's where 90% of my time has been going.
2. Weird side note, but most of my life spent out of cosplay is in gym clothes or paint clothes and it's a shame I stop wearing all the other clothes I own. So I foun...

End of a super-era... for now?

There you have it 🫡 The reason these fan/night photos came into fruition is because I wanted a fan for one of my TikTok videos! We actually brought a big electric fan to the parking lot to film there... and then quickly found out my portable power bank was not nearly strong enough to power a massive fan lol. So we had to go somewhere with outlets and try again. My husband was kind enough to ask if I wanted to try photos too, so here we are 😌❤️

Now that I've done like 5,000 cos...

Kindness is Punk.

Part 2 of 3. ❤️ Thank you to Superman for reminding me why I once loved heroes so much :)

(and thank you to the wind for *mostly* cooperating)

It's a bird, it's a plane! 🦸‍♀️

As voted for over on Instagram, here's the first part of my supersona! This was a bit of a challenge, and we ended up taking screen grabs from videos to make it work (hence why the lighting looks so wildly different from photo to photo. I had a lot less color grading/lighting control 😅). You'll see at the end, I just jumped off of a couple different pillars and things onto a foam pad to see what looked best (don't try this at home lol)! I'd close to try this again, whether as Superbella or...

I fear this is the best "flying" photo we got ❤️💙 Sneak Peek!

In the process of editing Superbella, and decided to try something a little different than usual. :) But the flying photos are some of my favorite! Granted - this was probably the best shot we got but there will still be some other cool ones, and I learned a lot for the next time we do action shots!

I won't be posting videos of Violet for 2 weeks 😭

Patreon gets to see the full images first 🖤 This is the second time I've been able to cosplay Violet Sorrengail, but the first time that I had enough time to do pictures! I pulled this cosplay back out last minute for a campaign I'm excited to post in the coming weeks, but ABSOLUTELY filmed a couple other videos. She's not a character I really relate to, but she's fun to cosplay! :) The costume is every bit as ridiculous, unrealistic, and pointy as it looks, with 12 plastic dagger...

Cheshire Cat Photos For ALL! 🩵🐾

Hello and welcome to those who don't normally see my posts! Usually I don't edit THIS many photos of any one cosplay, but the Cheshire cat is a favorite of mine. Special shout out to Dreamwalk Park for the perfect Wonderland setting, and Reid Moon for the opportunity to hold a first edition Alice in Wonderland book, signed by Lewis Carroll himself?? Unreal. 🩵

Anyways, this is the kind of stuff I love to create. To paid members, free members, and those who just wandered down the rabbi...

My Little Tiefling: Fellowship is Magic ✨️💖

Say hello to my lavender, floral corseted, tough(ish? I feel like the gauntlets look tough at least!) tiefling paladin. 

She came about because of a last minute decision to go to a DnD themed photoshoot, but I wanted to ask Instagram what they thought I should be. 😅 (technically aasimar paladin was first place and this was second, but I wanted to save the wings for a different time!) Surprisingly enough I've neeeever considered cosplaying a tiefling, so this was a challenge for ...

Random surprise golden retriever girl shoot! 🐕💛

I fear I can't beat the kemonomimi allegations because I also have the Cheshire Cat that was filmed yesterday 🫡🩵 This was another fun and lighthearted shoot though! It came about just because Athena Grimes made a tactical German Shepherd look she really liked, and thought a canine duo would be fun.

The options I was deciding on were between a roguish fox in a suit (kind of like Zootopia vibes, the law-abiding dog and the thieving fox), a wolf/husky (also in tactical gear), or a go...

Upgrades People, Upgrades! 🩵🐾

I think it's been a little more than 2 years since I last cosplayed the Cheshire Cat? But she's coming back for a very exciting project soon! For anybody who knows Raine Emery, she designed and sewed several BEAUTIFULLY whimsical Wonderland cosplays: Alice, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts, and the White Rabbit. Other than the Cheshire Cat since she has yet to create her own, a group of us are all getting together for a Wonderland group featuring her designs.
I've added some extra accessories t...

DK... Donkey Kong? 🎶🦍🤎

I have little to say about this set lol, other than it was LOTS of fun! I was never a die-hard Donkey Kong fan, but of course I know him from several Mario games, often play him in Smash Bros, and am familiar with his "kin" from Diddy Kong racing 😌🤎 I mostly put this cosplay together and attended the shoot for fun, and so that DK would be there with the rest of the Kong family 😂 I spent way too long on that wig thooo

Which tutorial do you want to see?

Hey, question since I won't have my hard drive for several weeks (based on the repair shop's estimate. It's a helium drive with several terabytes worth of files so it's a tricky fix 😅) and I still really want to get a tutorial video out there... which do you all want to see first, fairy wings or do I remake a leather bracelet tutorial? I'll also upload Donkey Kong photos tomorrow if anyone wants to see them? I'd say they're more silly than anything but it was a REALLY fun shoot lmao

She was a fairy 😌🧚‍♀️

Home from camping (saw SO many wildflowers which are my favorite 💐💚) and excited to get these photos out to you! I did a closet cosplay of Tinkerbell over 4 years so it was cool to see what I would look like full out this time. :)

I'm not Rumi, I'm "EVIL" Rumi.

Hello and as requested, demon-ified Rumi is now here. 😌 It was a VERY close vote though, so Tinkerbell will be up on Sunday or Monday. :) The next shoot coming up is Donkey Kong of all things LMAO. I'll be cosplaying our main man himself, then we'll also have Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, and Tiny Kong. Should just be fun and silly! 

Tink set or Demon Rumi set today?

Guyyys I opened Adobe Lightroom just now to resize my Tinkerbell photos for Patreon, and found out that Lightroom stores all the photos I upload there locally, so I DO have the Demon Rumi photos even though I don't have the hard drive for now! That being said... should I still post Demon Rumi first, or Tinkerbell? Whatever I do, it'll be posted an hour from now! I'm about to go camping with my family and won't have service the rest of today/tomorrow :) 

🧚‍♀️Sneekpeak from a few hours earlier!

Spent the last couple days making wings (which I'm excited I can now do well!), dying /altering the rest of the costume and rewatching all of the Pixie Hollow movies. 💚 I've never considered myself a "fairy" person (I feel too tall lol) but it's actually pretty cute!
Is a wings tutorial something anyone would want as well? I cut out the veins using a laser engraver, but it could totally be done with box cutters (albeit more slowly).

Some slightly bad news- but there is still hope!

Other than what I said in the video, I'll also add that I have some older content on Google Drive that I can post if need be, as well as another back-up drive that has files from 2022 and earlier. So all is not lost, AND I'm hopeful they will be able to recover files from the broken hard drive. It's just a minor setback for probably the next week 😅 New stuff still coming though! I'm part of a Pixie Hollow/Tinkerbell group shoot today, so those photos will likely be posted before Demon Rumi...

Rumi's Here 💜

Happy start of the week and say hello to (even mooooore lol) Rumi! Usually I like posting a more varied content on all my platforms, but since KPop Demon Hunters is SOOO incredibly popular right now I'm trying to ride that wave 😅💜 Also a group KDH cosplay WILL be coming so I need to clear out some of the existing videos to make way :)

Normal(ish) Rumi or Demon-ified Rumi First? 💜🗡️

Hello all! I'm currently in the process of editing the Rumi photos I took last week, and just wanna know which set y'all wanna see here first. Will post one tomorrow, then the other set a couple days after!

(Sneak Peek) Y'all better BELIEVE I filmed Demon Rumi too 👀

Mini Vlog / Tutorial? / My HOPES for Rumi's hair! 💜

Y'all get to see it done first! Working to get Rumi done ASAP and I also hate styling ponytail wigs, so I will do everything in my power to not do that lol. If you're also working on Rumi or a character with a similar hairstyle, I hope this inspires you!

Throwback Set From 2022! 🩵🩶🐾

I remember somewhere on here mentioning that I have SO many photos over the years that I never had the chance to post, so here is one of my favorite cosplays / shoots! The Cheshire Cat is also one of my most popular cosplays, so you best believe she'll be coming back! (But not until late July 🥀) Otherwise here is what I got going on...

-Longform video editing (All these years later and I'm still terribly slooow at it 😅)

-Attack On Titan Cosplay (I have successfully convinced...

Trying a new hair color for the summer 💜

Patreon gets to see it first! Like TRULY, only my husband and one of my friends have seen it so far lmao. I just figured since my hair has never been this blonde before, and color will wash out quickly with heat/chlorine, I might as well try something I'd never normally consider. Lavender it is :) Personally I don't think it's a long-term color for me (warm colors are more my vibe) but I LOVE the change, reminds me of night elves in WoW! What do you think?

Sneak peek at unposted videos! 🙈

Helloooo and here are some of the vids I have in store over the next couple weeks! As of now, I don't have any solo cosplays planned, but I'm sure I'll have some soon! In terms of upcoming group cosplays though, we have a date scheduled next month for at least 2 things... One will be an Alice in Wonderland themed shoot where (almost) all of us wear one of Raine Emery's original designs, and one will be a Pixie Hollow theme!

Forgot to post my solo cozy elf look ft. Rue!

Hello all! Sorry for the delay on the leather bracelet tutorial, I've been talking about it for weeks but as you've probably seen on my main page, I've also had a lot of new content recently 😂 Longform videos are always a bit tough for me to start, but I've committed already! Filming/leatherworking officially commences tomorrow 🫡 In the meantime, I'll also post some edited videos that haven't yet gone live here tomorrow. Cheers! 🎉

A Magical Pride Month to all✨️🌈💜

What I'd look like if I was in Arcane? 🩵🤘

Here's a fun one! This shoot was partially for a headphones campaign. They were hoping I'd do a specific character/IP, but for legal reasons settled on a general punk-ish look. That being said, I thought it would be cool to to Arcane-adjacent makeup and put together a look as if I were vaguely from Piltover/Zaun. Definitely a little more alternative (and spikey) than my personal style, but it was REALLY cool to experiment with! Fun fact about the top I'm wearing. It was originally a pair of p...

Tears of the Kingdom Zelda is here! 🗡💧✨️

This is one of my aaabsolute favorite Zelda looks (up there with TP Zelda, Hyrule Warriors Zelda, and maybe Skyward Sword Zelda 💙), so I'm so happy to be able to share it with you all! I bought this cosplay from Procosplay almost TWO years ago and never got to use it until now! Otherwise I'll be filming and posting a leather bracelet tutorial next week, so be on the lookout. :) 

Poll for what I post here first! 💚🌻

Hello, happy June, and apologies for the week of silence here! Last week I decided I was going to digitally organize my closet (both for my cosplays and regular clothes), and it's becoming quite the project lol. I'm trying an app called Clozzie (not sponsored, just the best I found for my needs), and basically have just been taking photos of and cataloging eeevery item of clothing I own. For my personal clothes, there are items tucked away in drawers that I forget to wear, so I'm hoping to gi...
