I’m ShelbyEileenCosplay and am really excited to see that textile arts are included in this instance! I’ve been sewing for 12 years and armor crafting for 10, and competing in cosplay contests for 10. It’s the most challenging and fulfilling hobby I’ve ever tried and I love it so much.
Thank you for the clarification! I made a collage to keep it one photo, but I will keep it to one piece of art at a time in the future!
For clarification, is it OK to do a side by side of the character vs the crafted art, like this? https://i.imgur.com/UuIIhY6.jpg
Thank you!
Yes that's cool.
