"The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within."

Here's Kat, in a look inspired by the Kate Bishop version of Hawkeye. Zip here:  https://we.tl/FxeHfGVXqS

Will have another set up in a few minutes, and hopefully something new not long after. Still recovering from episode 8 of Twin Peaks...all that Lynch, plus a live performance by How to Destroy Nine Inch Angel Nails. Too much, i'm corpse.

Here's Kera in an alt cosplay look inspired by Mary Marvel. This was a costume we'd done a couple times on the old site, but hadn't used it recently. Zip here:  https://we.tl/sOWcMXq32D

Dunno which to be more excited about: new Tobacco track, with an LA show in August announced, or hbo doing a Watchmen-based series with Damon Lindelof...either way, good tim...

an oversight i can't explain or understand

The other day, someone pointed out the best stuff from the old site involved water, being in or around it, and there's been a real dearth of that, lately.

Will resolve that this month.

Kera in alt cosplay looks inspired by DBZ's Android 18. Will have some new stuff with Kera up here sunday or monday-ish. I'm excited for it, hopefully it's good. Zip here:   https://we.tl/AKwd2OupTG

The Nuart is playing Fight Club in a little over an hour. If there's a finer way to waste a friday night, i wasn't invited.

Here's a vintage set of Cee in a Wonder Woman inspired look. First of a couple sets going up tonight. Zip here: https://we.tl/giGu5QYX07

Loved the Wonder Woman movie, but kinda souring on the dceu with the Wheedon taking over Justice League, and now Junkie XL getting replaced on scoring duties. 

(At least Matt Reeves' War for the Planet of the Apes is getting utterly phenomenal early word of mouth; so no matter what ha...

the entirety of human existence has been a framing device for Twin Peaks season 3

Here's Jordan in an alt cosplay look inspired by Noa from Sky Doll. After reading/falling intensely in love with Enki Bilal's Nikopol Trilogy, like 10 years ago, i started seeking out more international comics, and Sky Doll was one of the best i found. Zip here:  https://we.tl/v4yEYafppA 

(This is making me crazy nostalgic...Jill from the Nikopol books was the first cosplay shoot we did on veidt. May need to revisit tha...

back home/lots to do/thanks for your patience

tfw when you realize it's June, half the year is gone, and you've completed none of the things you were planning in January.  It would be daunting and depressing, if i weren't confident this is going to be a productive summer.

I shot with Brice a year ago, this is some stuff that never went up, but i really liked some of these, and they've been sitting on my desktop, so here they are... Zip here:  https://we.tl/LjV8jEYlgV 2017-06-06 22:09:26 +0000 UTC View Post

"Normal is what everyone else is and you are not."

Still not made it home, quite yet; so apologies in advance for all the Kat sets in a row, but here's Kat in a Seven of Nine inspired look. Zip here:   https://we.tl/xJxCNF6cM5    (Should get back over the long weekend, and will shoot some hopefully interesting new stuff before the month runs out.)

Also, i can't be objective, because the guy is saying nice things about one of my favorite movies that litera...

#makeBillyCrudupblueagain

1.) Left home a few days ago with the wrong harddrive, will get the set i had wanted to put up whenever i get back (today or tomorrow.) For now, this is Kat in a look inspired by Overwatch's D.Va.  Zip here:  https://we.tl/FXP8evn0sQ

2.) (The pink gloves were part of a donation from a cosplayer far, far too popular to work with me; but she likes some of the shit we've done, which is immensely gratifying. Also interestin...

"Can't repeat the past?", he cried incredulously. "Why of course you can!"

Vintage set of Nori, in an Ozymandias inspired look. This is one of my favorites, and relevant because Wednesday is the end of the Batman/Flash/Watchmen event The Button. Zip here:   https://we.tl/OJ1hEhVrHE

Also, the bodypaint shoot we're doing is going to be Dr. Manhattan (with a new take on Ozymandias, too, because God needs a backup)...lots of creative license taken, but hopefully it will be interesting, and convey ...

KATe Bishop. This is the new wallpaper on my zune.

afkallday, but will get a vintage set up, and have some new stuff up shortly.

Jordan in an alt cosplay look inspired by DC's Huntress, first of several things going up this week. Zip here:  https://we.tl/eD9RE44BtC

Quite liked Guardians vol 2.. Getting a little concerned about Wonder Woman; final trailer released, and still no raising of the stakes beyond demigod superheroine vs pre-nuke, biplane flying, bolt action rifle firing WW1...like Punisher vs. an anthill. Know Ares is in it, really m...

"I am starting to think this is the most spiritful place I've ever been. I think we found ourselves here."

Han in a vintage set that features our first attempt at a Harley Quinn inspired by Harmony Korine's incandescently dope Spring Breakers. This was from the weekend before Coachella 2013...remember it because we were both going, and couldn't shut up about it. Zip here:  https://we.tl/edvCjKsE3K

New stuff from new shoots, and another vintage set i love, going up this week.

Bad news/good news. First, the location for the bodypaint event thing got back to me, and once there are paid guests, be it 2 or 200, the rules change from shoot to event, with all kinds of costs for additional liability insurance, security provided by an off duty police officer, and other stuff. I get why they need it, if anything went wrong, they'd be sued from every possible direction, but it's all prohibitively expensive.  

Less depressingly, my makeup artist friendo really wants to d...

"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."

Kat in an alt cosplay look inspired by Rey...god i hope Rey is connected somehow to Palpatine. (I'm developing a fairly unhealthy and completely sincere/unironic obsession with Revenge of the Sith.) Zip here:   https://we.tl/9Slzo2Aef7

This  is related and amusing. 

Will have some more sets up over the weekend, and update...

"Nothing the god of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for."

Kat had green-ish hair for a couple months, years and years ago. Here's a vintage Aphrodite IX  inspired look, and some other stuff, from that green hair period. Zip here:   https://we.tl/wTIioidVh6

The green hair thing really would've been appropriate for yesterday...sadly, i was away from my laptop until just now.

"I'll see you in the trees."

Had a couple questions, figured i'd put this up to attempt a better explanation of the bodypaint tier thing.  

1.) This is a one time thing. The intention is to do it in May, or early June, at the latest...there's a window of availability before the makeup artist has to go back to pinewood studios to work on real superhero shit.

2.) Patreon isn't really designed to handle one time things, but you will only be charged once. 

3.) It's limited to 5 people attending. It also ...

the thought of Twin Peaks, American Gods, and The Leftovers all airing in the same month induces celebratory nosebleeds

Robin and Cee in a vintage-y alt cosplay look inspired by Quicksilver. Need to revise and revisit this one.  Zip here:  https://we.tl/iyPIQAhaT3

I enjoyed this tremendously.  Kept waiting for him to put on the vinyl raincoat, and cave my head in with an axe, but alas...

"Kill them, Machine...kill them all."

Here's an alt cosplay set with Kera in a look inspired by Daredevil's nemesis Bullseye. Zip here:  https://we.tl/Ne1nVrmj4u 

re: Daredevil...maaaaan, i don't care how cancerous Marvel's intra-company rivalries and politics may be; if Charlie Cox isn't in Infinity War, i'm sitting it out.

Don't care if i'm alone on this: I can't not love a series where the action hero has a Rand Paul perm

Lily in an alt cosplay look inspired by Marvel's mutant disco queen, Dazzler.  Meant to have this up friday, but stuff came up; will get an extra set or two up this month, as a mea culpa.  Zip here:  https://we.tl/d8U1FOe9kH 

Marvel Legends just released a new Dazzler action figure, with a Warlock build-a-figure. Managed to score Polaris and Old Man Logan, so far...really hoping Dazzler isn't going to be impos...

"This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them..."

 1.) Will have a brand new set up before we exit March.  It should be good stuff. 

2.) Marnie's going to shoot some stuff for the site, next month. Shoot as in she'll be photographing other people we put in silly costumes. Been wanting to get other artists involved here, confident this is going to make for better content, and open up some new and interesting possibilities. 

3.) Do want to get more bodypaint and multi-character sets done through the summer; will try ad...

Lip-synching love songs, making BioWare faces

 1.) ohmygod that Justice League trailer...dying to see this, not objective at all, but even i can't reconcile the utter ridiculousness of this supposedly existing  in the same Terrence Malick-looking world established in Man of Steel. Still, those 5 seconds of JK Simmons as Commisioner Gordon = best thing i've seen all year.

2.) This is Leland in an alt cosplay look inspired by the Major, from Ghost in the Shell. &...

Kat and Lyra in vintage sets featuring a look inspired by Street Fighter's Cammy White. These are so old; the Kat ones are from early 2012/pre-The Dark Knight Rises (my reference point for dividing current world, and all eras that preceded it), but whatever, i quite like some of them.  Zip here:  https://we.tl/4D6Cc8tU0Q

New stuff going up this week, and new shoots happening this weekend.

Lily in an alt cosplay look inspired by Android 18. Someday, i'll do a proper Buu, but for today, here's one of the more interesting of the able-to-pass-as-humanDragonball characters. Zip here:   https://we.tl/dSeDeg31au

That red band trailer for Atomic Blonde  is all kinds of magnificent dope.

First update of the night, second to follow shortly. Marnie in a look inspired by The Comedian of Alan Moore's incomparable Watchmen. Because they've been sitting on my desktop for awhiles, and because i think we're less than a month away from DC finally paying off on the brilliant bit from Rebirth with Batman finding Mr. Blake's pin in the Batcave.

Michael Pitt as Black Mask, Lana Del Rey as Poison Ivy...was so breathtakingly dope, and then i woke up dead.

Kera in an Anti-Gwenom set.  Zip here:  https://we.tl/qeuN2mLEUb

With a gun to my head, i couldn't tell you which is better, between Split, Lego Batman, and Logan. Insane that 3 months into 2017, and there's already 3 new all-time champs. Doubly insane that there may be a fourth by the end of the month, when Ghost in the Shell drops.

Got new stuff that very much needs to go up here, but Logan on repeat pretty much ate the weekend...so here's another vintage set with Zyd, this time in a Catwoman inspired alt cosplay. Zip here:  https://we.tl/tUH8CaxoD6

Will get a new set up tomorrow, either during, or right after, The Bachelor.

Electric Daisy Cobra-La

This is Lily, she's tight with someone you've seen a lot on here, and she's fun to dress up. Here she's wearing an alt cosplay inspired by Cobra Commander, or an EDM Cobra Commander look, anyway. Whatever, i really liked it. Zip here:  https://we.tl/OgHv3YpIDw

Anyone got a favorite Cobra Commander origin? There's so many to choose from...i'm actually torn between the emissary from an ancient civilization based on advanced or...
