Blog gets a slight make-over!

Hi everyone!

I touched up my blog a bit here, so that it's more accessible, easier to read, etc.  Added a few custom graphics, and backgrounds as well.  I finally figured out how to add tabs with separate pages too!  So I'll have some of my work up there (Photographs/sketches) for general viewing once I get around to it. (Likely soon)  :3

Hope you like it!  Now back to working on this hat commission! (Pirate UK ^o~)

OH HAI WIG.

 
Perfect looking Shanoa wig, but not in stock? Thankfully I was able to get in touch with the nice peeps at cosplaywigsusa.com, and apparently they're about to receive a shipment.

I was originally looking to buy from Epic Cosplay Wigs (www.epiccosplay.com) but I think I'll give these guys a shot first.  I don't know why, but the quality of the wig looks very, very nice.  I've heard that Epic Cosplay Wigs are pretty unrivaled with thickness... so I'm still unsure on which to purchase.  I suppose a well shot picture is what is swaying my decision.  Both are US based, so either way there will not be a tremendously long wait to get 'em in the mail.

Hopefully it'll be something I can pick up and give a try!  Quality looks beautiful.  Since there are not many reviews for this USA based wig seller online, I will likely do a review on the product. ^o^

I realize that the wig length is a bit shorter than the art/in game representation of Shanoa... but I think that's pretty minor.  In my experience with longer wigs, after a bit of wear, they start to get super tangled.  Now there is a 50" available from Epic Cosplay, as well as a 60".  The hassle or worry that they will tangle throughout the day is enough of a preemptive concern that I won't bother buying them. xD;

Neglecting this blog, for serious.

Hey everyone!

I'm bacccck.  Well, at least until life starts getting busy again!  Been enjoying my last month of school break, but a few things have gone amiss here and there.  Someone cracked/phished my email back a month ago, and I lost a lot of important contacts/emails in my folders.  Unfortunately, some of those just happened to be commission inquiries.  So for any of you that have asked me about something, and received no response, it's because I no longer have your email.  I'm thinking about opening a new email/password via gmail, just to clear it up and keep any work/cosplay stuff separate from my personal email.  Again, really sorry to anyone who I had been in touch with previously, and all of a sudden I just dropped off the map. :/

For now, let's just use: BeataBissettTyski@gmail.com

Otherwise, life is going well.  Been trying really hard to finish up this pirate costume for my best friend.  I realize I may have gone overboard on the detailing work, but it'll still look amazing.

Plotting away my Shanoa cosplay silently, still.  Haven't gotten past the initial planning stage, as I've been short on time since last semester.  I really hope this semester can be more lax, and that I'll have more time to assemble my portfolio, a proper website, and build some more costumes.

Gotta make it happen!

Peace, everyone. :3
