Neen The Kitchen Magician's Paintress!

The Paintress' overall design in Expedition 33 is both fascinating and yet haunting. As the sole force behind vanishing off people every year, she's become one of few antagonists in the game. Course, through the game's lifespan in cosplay, people mostly tackle the main members of the core Expedition. Whether it's in the traditional uniforms, other alternate costumes or the iconic Baguette outfits. So it's been a real treat to see Neen The Kitchen Magician do a phenomenal job in bringing The Paintress to life. The full outfit is black from head to toe. You have a gown like piece at the bottom with it flowing mostly in the back. It does look like both the bottom and top pieces are segmented into like a long sleeve shirt and long pants. But being full pitch black does give some shots a sense that it's all connected. That even includes the face area which one pic does show that yep, Neen is able to see out of it.

Cosplay Progress: Pokemon Gijinka!

One of my upcoming cosplays is another gijinka this time based around Pokemon. Seeing Jessica Nigri's latest "PokePenthouse" set of cosplays finally gave me the drive and motivation to start it up. The Pokemon I have chosen is Greninja from the latest games X/Y. He is the final evolution of the Water starter Froakie and just looks like all sorts of badass. In actuality I've made quite a bit of progress with only needing to buy several things and using items from my home, you can check out the sketch I drew out below!

My rough sketch

So far I have the jacket I will be wearing and I figure there's a scarf in my house somewhere which will work. The white spots will be kneepads/elbowpads thanks to a suggestion from my friend. A pale yellow-ish shirt would probably be best and I would just wear blue pants. For his prop I've been hard at work making Ninja Stars out of Worbla since Greninja's signature move is called "Water Shruiken". It was a long process of actually redoing them for a smoother shape/look. Right now I'm painting the hell out of them with adding coats of white acrylic then blue. I then have to decide if that's good enough or should I try something to make it appear with a water like texture. I'm moving along pretty well with this project and I can't wait to debut it!

Redid the Ninja Stars so they're a lot smoother
