🎁 December Delights: Special Photo Pack for My Patrons! 🎁
To celebrate the end of this year, I have a very special treat for all my fantastic Patrons of the Platinum Tier (and above):You'll receive a special collection featuring ONE unique photo from EACH of my 2023 photoshoots (that's 11 exclusive photos in total) ON TOP of your regular monthly rewards! These photos were previously distributed on the higher tiers.
And for My Top Tier Patrons - Sapphire, Diamond, and Legendary - Get Ready for Something Extra Spectacular! 🌟
If you're part of these elite tiers, you're in for a massive treat hehehe ;) Each of you will receive a special package containing not one, but TWO exclusive photos from every 2023 photoshoot. One of these 2 photos is a never-before-seen! ;D
So, if you're a Sapphire, Diamond, or Legendary patron this December, expect an epic bundle of 22 exclusive photos along with your regular rewards!!!
Just a little note: The photos in this post are previews – they're not part of your special rewards. It's just a teaser to remind you of all the beautiful photoshoots of 2023. Your actual rewards? They're top-secret and exclusive! hehehe ;D
On my end, I've just completed work on my brand new Cyberpunk photobook, set to release this November. There's still a ton of work ahead, but I can proudly say that after 10 days of continuous computer-bound work (and months of planning leading up to it), I've nailed down the final layout and my special quest hahahaha
As some of you might know, I'm a massive fan of escape games, puzzles, board games, etc. So, it was time for me to weave all that passion into one of my projects hahahaha XD
I've aimed to make it fairly challenging and lore-appropriate to make your experience with the book truly exciting. I genuinely hope you'll enjoy all the gorgeous photos I've prepared for you, along with my tricky puzzles. But for now, let me treat you to a brand new photo of Panam. As for my missing pants... OOPS! 😅👖
As you awaiting for more HD photos of Panam (coming very, very soon), here are some quick home selfies I did right after the photoshoot. I think I look pretty decent, considering I pulled off some bizarre squat-like poses in high heels for a non-stop 5-hour shoot, hahahaha! 😅📸👠
Honestly, this set was quite the challenge. I typically shoot in empty locations without people, but for this photoshoot, I had to work during the garage's opening hours. There were five workers around that day, and, well, hopefully, I didn't disrupt their day too much! XD 😅
This month, I've had the pleasure of welcoming many amazing new members to our Patreon family. Thank you so much, and a warm welcome to all of you! Now, I have to admit, Demon Daki, as seen in the anime, might not be the friendliest character, with her passion for, well... eating people. But I promise to be much friendlier, hahaha XD
How is your September going? Is the weather in your city still warm, or it already transitioned into the colder months like I have here in the Highlands of Scotland? I must admit, I'm quite drenched and freezing, but I'm still enjoying life, hahaha
Speaking of Scotland, as some of you may know, I'm currently in the UK. I came here for a special event hosted by CD PROJEKT RED to celebrate the launch of the Phantom Liberty expansion. However, since it's my first time in the UK (and obtaining my visa required a bit of time and effort), I decided to extend my stay to explore some beautiful places. It's been an incredible source of inspiration for me, which is perfect because I'm currently working on something very, very special! ;D
As you may be know, every Christmas season, I release my traditional cosplay calendars and a special photobook. And yes, this year is no exception. I'm already working on the 2024 edition and the new book. I can't say much yet, but let me make a little hint... This year's book is gonna be interactive ;D
And talking about the calendars... what do you think of this photo? I think it could make a great page in the calendar, don't you think? XD
Irina From real life Hogwarts Legacy map with love
Greetings, my fellow men and women of culture! ;D It brings me great joy to welcome all the new members of our incredible Patreon family, especially during this month's unforgettable cabaret extravaganza! A little backstory of this photoshoot: Months ago, I stumbled upon a captivating black and white noir comic book. Those monochromatic pages, accentuated by vivid red details, made me fall in love entirely. One character, a fiery redheaded burlesque performer, particularly caught my eye.
Since that day I wanted to bring this concept to life. Gathering equipment like a special gobo projector, a prop gun, a dazzling burlesque ensemble, magnificent feathered fans for stage performances, and, of course, finding the perfect location, became my mission.
After finding a charming bar in Paris and securing the booking, I eagerly awaited the photoshoot. However, upon arrival, I quickly realized that the bar's dimly lit ambience and complex wall details... looked like a mess on black and white shots hahahahahahaha I had to abandon the idea of shooting in B&W and instead focus on the beautiful colors of this place: the resplendent red velvet walls, captivating paintings and enchanting mirrors. While the initial vision of a noir burlesque may not have materialized as planned, I just adore the final result. And I can't wait for you to discover this full photoshoot very soon ;D
Just a little reminder: This set is available before the end of July 2023
Full photoshoot (32+ exclusive photos, not counting the ones published Online) is available for the tiers Sapphire and higher ;D
July is a special month in France, and as I live here, I like to honor it by celebrating the delightful French culture ;D
Ever since I came across Marlene Sciappa's (the French Secretary of State for Social & Solidarity Economy & Associative Life) Playboy photoshoot, I realized that someone needs to step up and handle the challenging task of promoting French culture though the art of photography, better! I decided that it's gonna be me! 😎
Last year, we paid tribute to the prestigious University of La Sorbonne and discussed the significance of education with "A Woman of Culture". But this year, it's all about the Cabaret. I mean, what screams "France" more than a dazzling cabaret show? Crazy Horse and Moulin Rouge are always at the top of every man of culture's must-visit list 😉
Oh la la, with corsets, rhinestones, breathtaking performances, and champagne, Bienvenue en France 🥐🥐🥐
P.S. After over a year of learning French on Duolingo and enduring the endless harassment from that green owl, I still ended up being sent to mandatory 100-hour courses by the immigration center. 🥲
Momiji is an incredibly skilled fighter and she shows some truly captivating techniques in the games. We wanted to capture some epic action shots and together with my amazing retoucher, we've come up with two different options, each with its own unique appeal. Now, I'm facing a dilemma and can't decide which one is better. I'd love to hear your opinion: which option do you prefer? The one with talismans or without?
However, if you find yourself in the same boat as me, unable to choose, no worries! hahahahaha You can simply download both and enjoy them to the fullest! 😉
I'm beyond excited for you to explore even more epic battle shots from this photoshoot (and some very sexy ones hahaha) just in a few days!
Thanks again for your incredible support for my cosplay! YOU ARE THE BEST! :)
I just returned from a quick trip to Istanbul back to my workshop, where I've been working non-stop on some cool new projects for the upcoming end of summer and autumn. Get ready, because I have a bunch of awesome cosplays planned to surprise you this year. So, brace yourself for the treat, haha! ;D
But before we dive into all that, let's shift our focus to this month's cosplay project - Momiji! As I mentioned earlier, this photoshoot takes place in breathtaking locations throughout ancient Kyoto, and one of them is an onsen!
We only have a few days left before the end of June, so make sure you don't miss out on amazing Kyoto experience with Momiji!
Remember to select your preferred tier before the end of this month ;D
Irina from a room filled with cosplay mess with love
How is your June going so far? I've been absolutely thrilled to receive such kind words about my May photoshoot. It's very nice to hear that you enjoy my Yakuza girl and the enchanting vibes of Japan. But guess what?
We're about to take things to a whole new level!
For this month (June) I prepared something even more japanese hahaha! My brand new cosplay of Momiji from Dead or Alive. This cosplay took me 4 months to prepare and I loved the process (though I'll admit, there were a few hilarious moments when I had to completely redo certain parts... XD in these moments I didn't love the process that much, but ahem...hahahaha).
The most exciting part of this project for me was the photoshoot in Japan. Just imagine my excitement of capturing the essence of this badass fighter girl amidst the mind-blowing, ancient streets of Kyoto.
Oh, before I forget...there's a little something for all the Japanese onsen enthusiasts out there: this photoshoot also features a steamy open-air bathtub hehehe
I absolutely adored the Onsen in Kyoto project that was released back in 2019. Do you remember those photos? The breathtaking scenery of Japan, combined with the open-air bathtub, created the perfect backdrop. The feedback I received was incredible, with many of you telling me it's one of your all-time favorites.
And now, after many years, I'm back in Kyoto to give you more hot onsens (cue mischievous laughter) hahaha ;D. But this time I have the best camera and light equipment (I will tell you a little secret. Shooting without any artificial lights on a rainy day under those trees in 2019 was a true nightmare hahaha)
Now, let's dive right into the main event: prepare to be a guest of a Mafia Boss Lady! Warm hot springs, fancy japanese dinner, a game of Go... All that in 1 photoshoot! ;D
Just a quick reminder: there's less than 24 hours left to grab this exclusive set, so make sure you choose your tier before it's too late! This photoshoot is featuring a wide range of outfits and diverse locations. Japan is a treasure trove of beauty, and I couldn't resist capturing it from every angle.
Speaking of which, be ready for an absolutely magical and hot June! I've prepared the brand-new photoshoot of Momiji from Dead or Alive 6 for you. I recently received the first batch of photos, and let me tell you, they've left me speechless.
It's hands down my favorite cosplay of the year. And the best part? The Momiji set showcases the stunning streets of Japan in the early morning. Trust me, words can't do justice to the sheer beauty of the sunrises in Japan. But don't worry, I won't keep you waiting for long. I'll be sharing a first teaser in just a few days. So, keep your eyes peeled and get ready to dive even deeper into the mysterious beauty of Japan in June ;D
Hello my lovely Princes Charming, Shreks, and Fairy Godmothers! (Gotta be inclusive, you know?)
March is already coming to a close, and soon you will be seeing Princess Fiona in all her moody glory!
Some of you may already know that I finished my Fiona cosplay a few years back, but I never got the chance to make a proper photoshoot. I kept waiting for the perfect season to film it in a picturesque field of blooming sunflowers, but every year, I missed the window. Just my luck, right?XD But this year, I decided to stop waiting and just do it indoors. And you know what? I'm thrilled with how it turned out!
Of course, that doesn't mean that I won't do an outdoor photoshoot eventually. I mean, who wouldn't want to recreate that iconic scene with Donkey, a baloons made of toads and... the fried rats? (Don't worry, PETA, no actual animals will be harmed in the making of this photoshoot hahaha). But anyway, these are the far far away plans and for now let's just enjoy the charming boudoir of Princess Fiona.
Today I'm very excited to give you a preview of the second special outfit which you will discover in the monthly rewards ;D I was thinking about making something "for Shrek's eyes only" hahahaha. Do you like this pin-up-y take on Fiona? ;D
I'm very excited for you to discover this photoshoot very very soon! (more excited than a donkey who's just been given a waffle XD)
Just a kindly reminder: please check if the email you use for Patreon is correct, as all the rewards will be sent through e-mail ;D (You will receive your montly rewards at the begining of April)
Thanks again for your incredible support! I have a lot of exciting news and announcements coming soon! Keep your eyes peeled ;D
Hey, everyone! ^_^ How's your February going? Are you ready to embark on an epic adventure with Aloy in the wilderness of the US? Let's hunt down dangerous machines and explore ancient ruins together! Who's with me?
In just a few days (at the beginning of March), you'll receive your rewards via email. Make sure to check that your email address linked to Patreon is correct, so you don't miss out ;)
I have the feeling that you're gonna love this photoshoot! Get ready for some stunning shots near the breathtaking waterfalls in Nora land (also known in our world as Rocky Mountains National Park in Colorado hahaha) and beautiful deserts of Carja (Arches National Park).
Together we will encounter killer machines and jaw-dropping views. I hope that you are well prepared for an adventure! ;) I can't wait for you to see more of my Aloy!
I also want to take a moment to thank all of you for your invaluable support! Without your help, I wouldn't be able to create such exciting and complex projects.
You are the real MVPs! ❤️
Oh, and I almost forgot! I've already planned the theme for February, but I don't want to give too much away just yet. Let's just say it's a very hot pin-up-inspired cosplay of.... a mama of three... 🤣
Did I manage to make you intrigued? I hope so hahahahaha
Just wait for the reveal. You're gonna love it, I'm sure hahaha XD Have an amazing day and stay safe!
I love you all and send you my virtual hugs across the globe <3
I hope that your December is going great and your Christmas (if you celebrate this holiday) was very pleasant! :)
This whole month I was swamped with work, packing your calendars, prints and photobooks ahahahaha. It takes a lot of time, but I truly enjoy it!
2022 is almost finished and I wanted to thank all of you for your amazing support! Some of you just joined our Patreon family recently and some of you are here since many years already (which I truly appreciate). I'm so incredibly thankful to have you all in my life! It's very inspiring and I want to make even MORE COOL THINGS FOR YOU!!!
Talking about that, 2023 will be filled with a lot of new projects! From badass cosplays like Aloy and Miranda Lawson to artistic boudoir and pinups hehe!!! I already started to work on many of them and I can't wait to share with you the final results! ;)
Btw, what was your favorite project of this year? ;)
Just in case you forgot them all hahaha, I wanted to remind you, that together with Santa's Little Helper photoshoot, only for Patrons this December 2022:

Yup Yup, in December I'll be your little Santa with gifts hahahaha
P.S. All the photos in this post are publicly available and are just added as examples. These are NOT the rewards you will receive! You will receive photos that were NOT public!!!!! ;) This collage is only made for you to understand which photoshoots I made in 2022 and what to expect hehe
Hi everyone, How is your October going? Are you ready for spooky Halloween season? ;) This year I don't have anything spooky for you, but instead something very neon-y and cyberpunk-y ;D
I don't know if you already watched CyberpunkEdgerunners, but if not, I highly recommend to. It's a very deep and touching anime full of colorful and epic action scenes. And Lucy is one of the main characters.
I got a chance to watch the first 3 episodes before the official release in CDPR offices and I was so inspired that I immediately started to work on her costume!
I'll be honest, it's very hard to make a cosplay of something before the official release and usually I never do cosplays for "special hype dates" like the release of something (unless it's a commission from a company) hahaha If you noticed, I'm usually this slow cosplayer who sometimes picks characters for cosplay 5 years after the release of a game/TV show/comics hahahahaha XD
So Lucy was quite a stressful project for me as normally I would always prefer to watch the full anime first, before making the costume and a photoshoot. Unfortunately I knew that due to my schedule and my long upcoming trip to the US, I either do it before the release or only in 2023... which would mean that this amazing character would not appear in my traditional cosplay calendar. And this was not an option! Those of you who like my calendars, DEFINITELLY DESERVE TO SPEND A YEAR WITH LUCY!!!!!!!! hahahahhahaha XD
I'm very glad that I went for it and managed to do the photoshoot on time! I'm very proud of the results we were able to achieve. Everyone worked hard here: me, my amazing photographer and my retoucher. Everyone put all their hearts to bring this iconic character to life and I hope that you will like my Lucy ^_^
As always, all the rewards will be sent at the beginning of the next month, but meanwhile I'll post here some teasers from this set and my upcoming cosplays ;D
Wanna see some teasers of Panam or Aloy? *wink wink*
Irina From the gas station on the middle of nowhere with love

I can't wait for you to discover more of Black Canary ❤️
Also, I wanted to mention that the theme of October is Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Be ready for a very neon-y futuristic photoshoot hehe 😉 and if you didn't watch the show, I highly suggest you to. It's really good and became one of my favorite anime 😍
Also, I have some exciting teasers of Panam and Aloy for you. Keep your eyes peeled 😉
I'm incredibly thankful to have you all ❤️
Send you love and hugs from... The middle of nowhere...I actually don't know where I am.. Just stopped in the mountains to catch internet signal 🤣😂
Hello my dear friends and appreciators of culture hahahaha,
I hope that your summer is going great! :) I want to thank you all for your incredible support this month! There are SO many people who joined in July... I have no words! I SEE THAT YOU ARE ALL MEN AND WOMEN OF CULTURE HAHAHHAHA
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me and following my cosplay and CULTURAL adventures XD
Talking about cultural adventures, you will receive your July rewards with my new photoshoot "A WOMAN OF CULTURE" during the first week of August (as usual, all rewards are sent at the beginning of the following month ^_^). You will receive an email from me, so please make sure to check if the email address linked to your Patreon account is correct and that you have access to it!
I hope that you will like this colorful Parisian photoshoot as much as I do :) Btw, I shared mostly bright photos with you, but actually this photoshoot has a whole night part as well with very different lighting and mood hehehe ;) Even though, cosplay is my main focus, I absolutely adore stylish boudoir as a genre of photography. I hope that you appreciate it too ;) I really can't wait for you to discover it!
And while you're waiting for your July rewards, I want to share with you the first photo of my Red Sonja - a cosplay I was asked to do hundreds of times hahahaha I usually don't share the theme of the month in advance, but OMG, this skeleton snake is too good to not show you ASAP!!!!!!!! hahahahahha
I have to say, that this project was EXTREMELLY challenging for something that looks like a simple armor bikini at first glance hahahah XD To bring this character to life I went through A LOT of challenges and funny situations. I can't wait to tell you all in August hahaha ;) For now, please enjoy this first photo teaser ^_^
Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for your incredible support and being part of the community! It really means a lot to me! I hope that your summer is going great and A WOMAN OF CULTURE will try to make it even better for you! ^_^ (Don't forget that you have only until midnight Pacific Time today to choose your July tier :)
Today I want to show you my brand new cosplay of Cirilla which I made for the upcoming The Witcher photobook I'm currently working on ;) To make this photoshoot I traveled to the east of France in a very beautiful region - Alsace, where I had to hike 1 hour uphill (in full cosplay and with 15 kg of photo equipment lol) to reach these amazing ruins which look like Kaer Morhen hahahahaha XD
It was definitely one of a kind experience, but I'm incredibly proud of the final photos. I can't wait for you to discover them *_*
The majority of photos will retain their natural look and feel, but on a few shots we want to use special effects which replicate abilities of the characters from the videogame. I received these 2 options today, but I can't decided which one I like more hahaha XD I need your opinion.
What do you think?
I want to wish you all an amazing week! Thank your very much for being with me! I hope that you will enjoy the theme of this month - the boudoir photoshoot " A WOMAN OF CULTURE!". The first HQ teaser ( non blurry one lol) comes just in few days, so keep your eyes peeled ;)
Thank you very much for your incredible support this month! We have so many people who joined our Patreon family! *O* Welcome welcome welcome :3 I hope that you will like it here!
Sabrina photoshoot turned up really well! I really like the final results...the colors are just OMG ( okay okay, I stop with self compliments, sorry hahahahahaha), but I have to say that the new camera does magic especially in low light. You will see it when I will send you more photos ;D
Just in case, I wanted to remind to all new people that all rewards are always sent at the beginning of the following month, which means that you will get Sabrina during the first week of June! Please, make sure that the email associated to your Patreon account is correct and keep an eye for an email from me in a few days (don't forget to check spam folder) ;D
I'm currently working hard on many cosplays in parallel and in June I'm gonna shoot at least 4 of them: The Witcher 3, The Witcher 3, The Witcher 3 inspired costume (yeah, preparations for the new photobook hehe).... and Red Sonja hahahah XD I can't wait to show you the backstage photos and maybe some videos? I hope that you will like everything ;)
As for the theme of June, you will discover a first teaser in your rewards message very very soon! Just a little hint - it's something badass and very colorful! ;D
Thanks again for supporting my works, it means the world to me!
How is May going? I hope that you enjoy the spring :3 I'm sharing this photo with you hoping to make your spring even more enjoyable hahahahahaha ;D
This month I got a chance to visit the motherland of The Witcher books and games - Poland. I just adore this universe (maybe it's because of my Slavic roots? Who knows XD) and I' not planning to stop doing the Witcher related cosplay! (I just hope that you're not fed up hahahaha), because something cool is coming later this year! ;D
Some of you may know that 2 years ago I released my first photobook - "The Huntress" featuring Aela from Skyrim and then in 2021 I released my second photobook - Lenore. And today I want to share a secret with you! ;D The photobook of this year (2022) will be themed around the world of The Witcher and will feature many of my cosplays which I did for the past 5 years + TONS of new photos which were made exclusively for this book ;D (For this project I also have some new special cosplays which I've never showed you before hehehe).
I'm so excited for this project AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!, but now it's time to just passionately sit in my crafting room and work on the these costumes XD Wish me luck! I want to make it perfect!!!
Also, after visiting the CDPR office in Warsaw I've got 1 more cosplay project! I saw something really epic there and I couldn't resist bringing this character to life *_* I can't say anything yet, but I have a strong feeling that when time comes you will like it ;D
But for now, enough about the future, let's enjoy the present moment! This month I have a new beautiful sorceress for your collection! ;) Sabrina Glevissig from the Witcher 2. Some of you may have seen the first 2 cosplay photos on my Twitter or Insta and today I want to share with you something more....khm khm... boudoir-y? XD
Okay, I really believe that the black stay ups compliment this costume and the outfit looks really good without the inner skirt to not make some photos hahahaha I hope that nobody here is against XDDDDD But don't worry my fellow lovers of cosplay, I have plenty of epic full cosplay shots WITH THE SKIRT for you as well hahahahahahahha
I can't wait for the end of this month to share this beautiful set with you. And I hope from the bottom of my heart that you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed shooting it. Btw, this is the first set shot with the new camera and I'm very happy with the result! *_*
I want to wish you a pleasant week everyone! Love you all <3
Irina From her little cosplay workshop with love :3
Volcanic beaches with beautiful black sand are awesome!
...until you need to remove all this sand from your swimsuit XD
Hi everyone, I hope that your April is going well! I just came back from a little countryside trip where I shot 2 new Witcher related cosplays :3 One of the new characters is the stunning Sabrina Glevissig from the Witcher 2! OMG, I adore her costume design! It looks really awesome, especially in real life! ( I think that maybe even better than in the game hahaha). Long story short - I'm extremely satisfied with the final result! Also, it was the first photoshoot with a new camera and what can I say? This camera is just mind-blowing! I I can't wait to show you *_*
The second character... I can't tell you yet, because this photoshoot requires different locations, and I still need to shoot the 2nd part of this photoshoot... so I don't want to tease you too much XD But I'll make a little hint - it's an original version of one of the main characters of the Witcher universe. The outfit I picked for this cosplay is based on an artwork and this costume is one of the most beautiful and decorated I have in my collection ;)
And last, but not least - I have a new photo from this month's Black Sand photoshoot for all of you ^_^ Very very soon you will receive your monthly rewards (as always - the first week of the upcoming month) and I can't wait for you to discover this beautiful exotic photoshoot! So don't forget to pick your desired tier before this Saturday! :3
I wish you all a very pleasant day! Love you all! <3
P.S. I'm planning to stream this Saturday on Twitch ;D Come to say hi! Let's have fun, play together the Witcher 3 (Hearts of Stone) and chat ^_^
I'm still working on my documents in UAE ( yeah, can you imagine, it's faster and easier to make docs for France OUTSIDE of France hahahahahaha XD). I can't wait to come back to France very soon, because in April and May I'm gonna shoot all my new cosplay projects with that amazing camera I bought *_* OMG HYPE!!!!!!!!! In comparison with 2020, my 2021 and the beginning of 2022 were filled with varied cosplay projects. I'm even surprised about how many different characters I was able to bring to life recently hahahaha
In April I'm planning to make the second part of Red Sonja photoshoot. I have already shot the first part in the desert of Dubai, but I want to make the final set of photos varied and epic, so I want to use at least 2 different locations. Initially I planned to make it during winter outside in the snow.... but - 15° Celsius ( 5°F) was too much for me, so I decided to postpone to spring XD
Also I have 2 new projects related to the Witcher universe! But I'm not sure you will be able to guess, as it's quite original ones hehehe ;D Wanna see some teasers? And I work on many other projects in parallel, so I wanted to ask your help ^_^
Can you suggest me beautiful places in your countries? Especially in France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy... I mean, basically anything around France hahaha + the US. Maybe you know some beautiful parks, lakes, castles etc. which could be used for cosplay photoshoots (without creating problems for other visitors XD)? Don't hesitate to share with me if you have something in mind ^_^
And today I want to share with you the first photo from my new set - Black Sand which I shot while being in Martinique last year :) I have to admit, this location is one of the most beautiful ones I ever used for my photo projects. I don't even know what can compete with this landscape? Maybe only the Black Tape 2 shot in Utah? *_*
What do you think about the first photo of "Black Sand" photoshoot? Do you like this location? ^_^
I can't wait to share with you more photos in April. I hope that you will like them <3
Thanks again for your incredible support and for your nice feedback about my Carmilla! I'm very glad that you liked the rewards of March! I saw so many messages from you <3 I'll reply to everything in the upcoming days ^_^
Have an amazing day and stay safe!

Today I added 2 new photoshoots in the list of sets available on request!!!! As you may know, I have 2 very special tiers on my Patreon, on which Patrons receive not only the full photoshoots of the month of support, but also FULL BONUS PHOTOSHOOTS! ;D
1) Lenore from Castlevania ( cosplay + boudoir ) - I decided to add this beautiful vampire lady, so all the fans of Castlevania who missed my Lenore could get a combo of 2 vampire sisters this month ;D 2) Desert Wonders - my original photoshoot which was the theme of January 2021. Shot in the hot dunes of the desert, this set will bring you to the world of magical East hehe ;)
I hope that you will like these 2 photoshoots! ;D
The end of this month is very soon and it means that your March rewards are coming hehehe ;D I can't wait to share with you my Carmilla. It's such an interesting and unusual photoshoot for me. I can't wait to show you more <3
Good evening/day/night my dear blood donors, .... Oops, I wanted to say my dear friends XD
Today I want to welcome everyone who joined our Patreon family and to share with you one more photo of my Carmilla.
OMG, I really like this photoshoot and I can't wait to show you MOOOOORE *_* I'm very happy to hear that you like this cosplay! Not gonna lie, it's quite challenging to bring characters like her to life without making it look weird. If it's an animation, then pretty much everything looks good, but when it comes to real life, some things may look very awkward hahaha Carmilla is one of these tricky characters. Extremely pale grey skin... WHITE pointy eyebrows? Hahaha it took me some time to figure out how to make this cosplay canonical, but still looking good XD But I have to say that I'm satisfied with the final result!
I also worked a lot on her shoulder pads. In the TV series she has just flat golden shoulder pads and it looks good when it's a drawn image, but in reality I felt that Carmilla would wear something more complex, stylish and luxurious? So I crafted these accessories with a beautiful ornament and I really love the result ( LOOKS RICH HUH? XD) What do you think? Do they look good? I also have some very exciting thigs I want to share with you! I was finally able to buy a new camera with new optics! It's the new CANON EOS R5!!! OMG, I had to hunt it for a few months, but today it finally arrived and I have already taken a few photos of my dog and I'M SO HAPPY AAAAAAA! The quality is absolutely amazing and I'm so excited to do my upcoming proto projects using this camera! Almost all my photos were made with the Fujifilm XT30, which was very good, but thanks to your support I was able to purchase a TOP lvl camera, which hopefully will allow me to create even better photos *_* And now I need to test it on something simple. Any ideas for a casual photoshoot? ;D
Also, I would like to apologize for the possible delays with my responses in March. As you may know, due to war, I had to move to another country and reestablish my whole life and working space. Last month has been very tough, but I'm trying to focus on good things in life. Though it may take a bit more time for me to reply to your messages, as I have an insane amount of tasks currently. But I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart for your incredible support and for your kind messages. I'm trying to do my best to reply to them ASAP! <3 Thanks for your understanding ^_^
May this day bring you a lot of joy :) Stay safe!

How is your March going? A lot of crazy things are happening in the world right now, but I hope that your month is pleasant nonetheless! :)
For me, February and March were really tough, but I'm trying to stay positive and focus on my work and creativity, which brings me inspiration and inner peace. I'm so grateful that so many of you are sharing my passion for cosplay and photography! It really means the world to have your support! ❤️
Today I wanted to show you my brand new cosplay- a stunning and dangerous vampire of Styria - Carmilla. As some of you may know, I became a real fan of Castlevania TV series and last summer I did my first cosplay based on it - Lenore. At that time we broke all the records of my Patreon with this set, which makes me assume that you have something for vampire girls? ;D Hahahahahahaha So it's time to meet a sister of Lenore - Carmilla. For this cosplay I picked her bloody red dress from the final season. It has a really nice shape and the sleeves of this dress remind me of the wings of a bat. I can't wait for you to discover this beautiful set. I'm really proud of the final result! Btw, this photoshoot will include a boudoir part as well. Working on Lenore lingerie was a really exciting process for me! As her lingerie was featured in the TV show, I also wanted to bring it to life through my photos. Carmilla, unlike Lenore was never featured in lingerie, but my imagination took me far. I started to think...what kind of lingerie such a stunning lady would wear? I ended up on a similar shape as Lenore, but decided to decorate it with gothic golden accessories. I really love the result! OMG, I almost feel like a fancy Parisian couturier right now lmao XD
Okay, don't mind my weird jokes ahhahaha I just wanted to share the story behind this photoshoot. Carmilla of Styria is the theme of this month (March 2022) and I can't wait for you to discover this beautiful gothic photoshoot very very soon ;D Stay with me in March to get a vampire date with Carmilla hehehehe
Thanks again for your amazing support and for making beautiful cosplay projects possible ^_^
Please welcome my new cosplay - Jun Tao! She is a character from the anime of my childhood Shaman King!
I think it's fair to say that this anime together with the works of Hayao Miyazaki (studio Ghibli) made me who I am today. I got this strong passion for cosplay thanks to being a massive fan of anime and Japanese culture since I was a kid! I still remember how I was running to the TV every evening to see a new episode of Shaman King! What a time *_*
And what was it for you? Is there is a TV show or an anime of your childhood which has a very special place in your heart? :)
Even if you have never watched Shaman King, you may be excited to see the full photoshoot of this beautiful greed haired shaman in traditional Chinese dress ;D If you want to see me as Jun Tao and deep in the atmosphere of the anime which has a very special place in my heart, stay with me in February, as it's the theme of this month ;D
Just a little reminder - it's the last 2 days to get this set and to chose your tier ^_^
Also I want to announce the theme of the next month in advance! :)
In March you can discover my new cosplay of another stunning and dangerous vampire from Castlevania TV show - Carmilla ;D I'm currently working in this set and can't wait to show you the first teaser in a few days <3
Today I have some important news to share with you!
I guess, many of you are reading the news and aware of what's going on in Ukraine. I received a lot of messages from you asking about the situation and if I'm safe. Thank you very much for your support and caring messages. It really means a lot to me!
I'm currently in Western Europe and I'm fine, but I have a lot of family members and friends in Ukraine who are going through tough times and I'm very worried to say the least. This whole situation causes a lot of stress and anxiety, so I can't fully focus on my work as my thoughts are very busy with these insane events we all are living through right now.
I don't have the heart to promote my new photoshoots on my other platforms right now as I believe that more important messages should be heard.
However, I'll make sure to keep delivering everything you're expecting on Patreon! The photoshoot of this month is ready and as always, will be sent to you at the beginning of the next month. I will also share in a few minutes a Patreon post talking about this month's and the next month's photoshoots.
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support and kind messages! It really means the world to me!
