Hey heeeeey! It's time to announce the theme of May! As many of you already guessed it's my supermarket shaman cosplay! For those who don't know the story behind it, I will explain XD
It all started around 3 weeks ago, when I hiked in beautiful snowy Colorado. Those locations reminded me a lot of one of my favorite games ever - TES V Skyrim *_* I just felt in love with these breathtaking locations and really wanted to make a beautiful, fantasy RPG inspired photoshoot. Only one problem was...that I didn't have any costumes with me XD All shops around were closed due to the current situation and my only hope was a lonely Walmart in a small city. Just for your understanding, this shop didn't sell raw fabric, so I had to buy bed sheets and a carpet to cut it, later in another supermarket I was lucky to buy EVA-like foam for kids to make scales on my bra and air dry clay to sculpt a lot of teeth, birds skulls and my ancient ritual knife ( which I brook during the shoot without the chance of repair T_T) XD Also this costume was a good challenge to train my macrame skills ( oh yes, even if for many people macrame is known as a hobby for grandmas.... I did it all my childhood. Macrame PhD! I will be a super grandma hahahahaha).
I really like how it all looks at the end. I did my best with the situation I'm in right now ahhahaha. Long time ago I planned that May will be the month of Black Widow ( as many of you know I started this costume long time ago and planned to finish exactly before the release date). All my plans were changed because I'm stuck in the US and the release date was changed to November. So expect to release this cosplay closer to autumn ;) I really have some serious plans for this project. Who knows, maybe it will be a fun little movie even ;) Will see, will see...
I hope that you will like this photoshoot of my supermarket shaman ( let's create a name for this character maybe? Please post your ideas XD). Me and my team will try to experiment with colors, mood and special effects on other pictures, to make it dark and magical *_*
Once again I wanted to thank you all for your amazing support! In April we achieved an extremely high community goal which allowed me to start to work on 1 new original project (Just a little hint: CD PROJEKT RED ;D) Can't wait to show you what I have in mind! hehe
Love you all very much,
Irina
