Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

The Awesome Work of ESKJ Shoes and Art

For today, I've got something different for you guys in terms of a feature! The lovely lady on the left above is Jessica Huard. She's done several cosplays here and there but her real talent lies in making amazing custom shoes for females. It just so happens that majority of her commissions involve nerdy subjects. The shoes are high heel like and include images of characters ranging from various franchises. Zelda, Game of Thrones, Princess Mononoke, Pokemon, pretty much every genre of geek is represented here. I don't exactly know the entire process for each shoe but I imagine they can be different or similar in make. Jessica also has done made bras with one being Mass Effect related with the N7 logo adorned on them!

The shoes Jessica makes definitely look to be high quality and she spends so much time on them. As I mentioned above, Jess also has done several cosplays. The top photo shows her with model Lindsay Tatertot in Team Rocket lingerie (that I think Jess created too!). She's also done a gender bend Dark Link which looks haunting and badass when you take in the scenery that accompanies the pictures.

Other cosplays for Jessica include a Female Geralt from the Witcher and the Snow Bunny skin of Nidalee from League of Legends! The latter cosplay she just recently had a shoot in with other girls including Vicky Lau of Vivid Vision and I can't wait to see pictures from it! The shoes she makes definitely have that high quality look to them! I'm unsure of what else I can say that hasn't already been said so take a look at photos of Jessica's work!
