Many of my tutorials spawn from whichever project I’m working on at the time. While I list a number of them on the Tutorials Index under the Character Tutorials header, they often only tell part of the story. When all the tutorials for a character are placed together, they give a greater picture of how I made a specific cosplay and a broader perspective of the techniques I used.

If you find yourself stuck on a project or looking for ideas, perhaps this list will help you out!

Fire Emblem

My favorite strategy game. There’s something about the strategy and dressing up your characters and different class outfits that gets me. FEH probably has my soul at this point.

Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

What if RPGs were like real life and you had to level up? And only a patron god can read your stats? That’s this show in a nutshell. Great storyline, lots of powerful ladies, and despite being a fan service show, the letch always gets punched in the face.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

It’s bizarre. It’s an adventure. There are memes, excessively weird posing, and really good character development. This is also easily the most supportive, tightly knit cosplay community I’ve been a part of.

Magical girl (and adjacent) series

I am absolutely a magical girl genre junkie. I’ve been watching them since Sailor Moon and Cardcaptors came on Kid’s WB and Fox Kids in the 90s. One day, I might cosplay from nearly all the series I’ve watched, but that’s over 20 different series, so I might need some time.

Legend of Zelda

A long-time favorite series of adventure and likely the origin of my obsession with elves

Persona

An old fave of mine where you be true to your inner self and get to punch god.

Pokemon

One of my oldest and eternal loves. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough Pokemon on my list.

Thunderbolt Fantasy

The source of one of my biggest obsessions and largest builds. It’s a wuxia action show written by Gen Urobuchi, designed by Nitroplus, and acted out using traditional Taiwanese puppetry and real-time physical effects. No, you really read that right.
