Hey hey! Long time no see. Last time I posted here was last year hahahahaha XD
How is your 2022 so far? For me this whole holiday season is crazyyyyyy! I'm working on a lot of projects in parallel and in between I pack calendars and photobooks while watching Harry Potter haha.
First of all, I want to say that I'm very grateful for the amazing support you give me! Seeing so many people interested in my creations, makes me so happy everyday and gives me a lot of motivation to permanently work hard on my skills and improve the quality of my works! :) Talking about that - I decided to buy a new camera! Almost all photos you saw here last years are made with the same camera - Fujifilm. Both my fav photographers have the same model lol I think it's time for me to go father and look toward very high end cameras. I decided to buy a top of the line Pro Canon camera with 2 new optics. It will cost a kidney, but I believe that this investment is absolutely worth it as my team and me want to create the most amazing shots possible ^_^ All this would not be possible without your support! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! From the bottom of my heart!!!!
Today I also wanted to share with you more info about my projects of 2022 which you can expect to see from me very soon ^_^ : Last month we achieved our community goal, so I'm working hard on my Red Sonja cosplay. Actually, I have a little secret - we have already shot the first part of the photoshoot! ;D Now I want to modify my costume and prepare myself mentally for the photoshoot outside in ultra freezing -15 degrees Celsius XD .....Yeah, you may ask why? The answer is easy - I'm a perfectionist-idiot hahaha. If I have a vision of my dream photoshoot - nothing can stop me to shoot armor bikini as I wish it! Even snow storms.... hahahahahah Of course, to make it safe-ish and to not freeze to death, this photoshoot requires a lot of preparation. So this is something I'm currently working on. Hopefully I will be able to show you the result of this beautiful project in the upcoming months. Wish me luck ^_^ I will try to bring Red Sonja to life as well as I can!
Another exciting project is something completely crazy and unexpected! We're working on a very special video for Dying Light 2 game. This project requires a lot of SFX makeup and I'm very excited, because I never did anything like that before. It's an absolutely new experience for me and I can't wait to share it with you ;D Keep your eyes peeled for some VIDEO CONTENT from me ;D And wish me luck - tomorrow we'll shoot it for 10 hours XD
Of course Red Sonja and Dying Light are not the only projects I'm working on right now! ( It's just that these 2 require a ton of work and preparations XD )
I promise, you will see a lot of varied cosplay projects throughout 2022 ( together with some original works )! And today I want to introduce you to one of them - Black Widow!
One short video with this character exploded my Instagram this Autumn... like my chest exploded the zipper of this costume XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH So please welcome the theme of this month! Strong and beautiful, redhead and Russian ( what a coincidence XD), the one and only - Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow!
This month you will discover this cosplay ( which is based on the last Black Widow movie) together with another original outfit I made for her, which I will show you a little bit later! ;D
I hope that you will enjoy this photoshoot and I can't wait to share with you more photos :)
Thanks for being with me!
Irina With love <3
P.S. It's currently a holiday season here, everyone is celebrating hahaha (Except me packing hundreds of calendars and books, and preparing all your Patreon rewards hahahaha) I'm waiting for the last photos from my editor and I'll start to send your December rewards very soon! :) Keep your eyes peeled for the message (email) from me in a few days ;D
Today I want to wish you all the best for the upcoming 2022! I hope that this year will bring a lot of joy and happy moments in your life! <3 I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support! Some of you being with me for many years, some joined just today, but all your support makes my cosplay projects possible! ^_^ I'm so happy to have such a sweet Patreon family and I can't wait to share with you more things that I prepared for you in 2022!
Today we reached our community goal and it means that you will see my Red Sonja cosplay very very soon ;D Everybody who supported me in December will get some exclusive photos as soon as I finish this project :)
As always, all rewards of this month will arrive by email during the first week of the next month ( January ). Keep your eyes peeled and I hope that you will enjoy my brand new Yennefer photoset :)
P.S. December was absolutely crazy for me. I have quite a few unread messages on Patreon and I feel very bad that I can't reply in time T_T I'm very sorry for it. I'll read everything very very soon and send all the requests as soon as possible. Please don't be worried if I didn't reply yet <3 Thank you very much for your patience and your understanding.
Hello my dear friends, I hope that your December is going well and that you like my "Welcome to the Jungle" photoshoot which I sent you a few days ago πβ€οΈ
Just in a few days I will present you the first teaser pictures from my brand new photoshoots. But today I wanted to already announce the theme of this month π
Please, welcome my new cosplay: The one and only - Yennefer! A stunning brunette sorceress who smells like lilac and gooseberries π This month we will discover the second season of the Witcher on Netflix, so I also prepared something special for you.
The photoset of this month will include 3 different outfits:
Alternative outfit from the Witcher 3 game
Brand new boudoir photos with lingerie from the Witcher 3 ( and another stunning lingerie set π)
New cosplay of Yennefer from the Netflix TV show
So you will be able to get all these versions at once ππ
Thank you very much for your amazing support! It really means a lot to me ππ»
First of all HAPPY HALLOWEEN to those who celebrate it ;D
I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your amazing support in October! I'm so happy to see that so many of you are excited about my sorceresses from The Witcher 3 *_*
I can't wait to share with you these 2 photoshoots! I really hope that you will like these moody and sensual shots of Keira Metz as well as my Triss Merigold in the last sun rays of the day!
I usually try to send all rewards on the 4th of each month, but this time I want to warn you that it may be delayed by a few days. As you may know I'm currently not at home and I really hoped that I'd have good Internet connection, but unfortunately I barely have 3G X_X So I just wanted to let you know, that if I won't find some good Internet spot, the rewards will arrive a few days late. Keep your eyes peeled for the message from me with your rewards! And of course let me know what you think about these 2 photoshoots hehehe ;D
Btw, November will be the month of many exciting announcements! I really can't wait to show you results of my work of the last months *_*
And talking about the rewards of November... No spoilers, but something tells me that you will like them...MAYBE YOU WILL LIKE THEM VERY MUCH ;D Wait for the announcement in the next few days <3
Thanks again for being so amazing and supportive! I love you and wish you an amazing and SPOOKY DAY OR NIGHT ;D
A bit lightheaded Irina after being hit by massive waves with love <3
Triss Merigold is probably the most recognized cosplay among all my works ( or did some of you get to know me thanks to another photoshoot? ^_^)
Today I will tell you a little secret. Triss is one of the most complicated characters for me! First of all, I did my first cosplay test of this amazing redhead sorceress when I was blonde. For many people it was quite unusual to see me with different hair color and quite a lot of people told me that Triss is not really my character and it's better to look toward another character from that game. Since then I really treated my Triss cosplay as a challenge! I wanted to make it as good as I can. Through so many years I tried different hairstyles and hair colors for this cosplay. From a bright red wig which looks very close to the game model to my natural hair. I tried different makeup types, from fully erasing my featured and drawing in-game Triss on my face to the natural makeup close to the one I use for normal life. I did a lot of photoshoots, from the very natural locations to complex CGI backgrounds. I visited so many countries and so many events with this cosplay. And all this time I was close to satisfaction, but never fully satisfied! Now I finally can say it - I did the photoshoot of my dream! Everything is exactly how I imagined and wanted it to be! From my look to light and location! Now I can finally say that I did my perfect photoshoot of Triss (perfect for me, maybe you will criticize it lol XD). This month I invite you with me to the magical world of the Witcher 3, in this beautiful field with wildflowers, basked in this beautiful sunset <----- omg I'm such a writer. I think it's time for me to think about my career as a writer of romantic novels for grandmas....
Okay, I'm sorry XD...I don't know how we ended up here, but I just wanted to share with you the story of one cosplay. The story of many years of improvement and experiments.
I put all my heart in this cosplay and in this photoshoot. I can't wait to share all these beautiful photos with you as it's the main photoshoot of this month, together with a Keira Metz mini set <3
Thank you very much for being with me! Thank you very much for your support! I hope that you will enjoy this photoshoot as much as I do ^_^
Have an amazing day and stay safe!
Irina from.... from an Interesting place.... I will tell you later XD
How is your Halloween mood? Are you gonna celebrate it? ;D
You may not believe me, but I'm that person who has closets full of cosplay costumes, but every Halloween whines that "I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR" and celebrates in some random clothes hahahahaa
Today I have some exciting news for you ;) To be more specific - 3 good news!!! ;D
I have a question for my Patrons who have been with me for a while - Do you remember the theme of the month of October 2020? ;D
It was Succubus! So I think that Halloween is a great reason to add this photoshoot in the pool of photoshoots available on request, so that all new members of our Patreon family can get it ( as well as those who missed this set last year ) ;D I really adore this photo project! It's so dark and moody *Π³*
Another set added this month is "Orange Lingerie" which was one of my record breaking photoshoots of 2020 ;D Hehehehe, I see that you like it, so now it's also available on request! And the 3rd photoshoot is the BRAND NEW EXCUSIVE on request "Island Swim" It's a set of cute pictures shot during my B-day trip to Maldives in January. I checked my hard-drive recently and rediscovered this shoot of amazing sunny pictures which I want to share with you :3 This set was never published before and will contain at least 13 exclusive pictures from my sunny vacation ;D I hope that you will like them hehehe :3
These THREE new photoshoots will be available on demand for the following tiers, starting this month (requests Patrons of this month can be made when you'll get your rewards email early November):
- My Superhero / All Access includes for this October the full main photoshoot of Triss Merigold + mini photoshoot of Keira Metz + 1 full photoshoot on demand per month
- It's personal includes for this October the full main photoshoot of Triss Merigold + mini photoshoot of Keira Metz +2 full photoshoots on demand per month
For those of you who didn't know, these 2 tiers can request extra photoshoots from the following list each month ( on top of the photoshoots of the month ):
I hope that your October is going well! I was a bit busy last weeks working on my new projects and upcoming cosplay calendars! I'm putting all my heart in these projects and I hope that you will like them :3
I want to wish you an amazing week! <3
Keep your eyes peeled for the new teaser photos of Triss and Keira in the upcoming days hehe ;)
October is Halloween month, so it's time for all kinds of spooky things! ;D Many of you, who have my 2021 cosplay calendar sent me a message about this special October page inspired by an exclusive collectible figurine featuring Ciri from the Wicther 3 in a Japanese setting!
Some of you may know that I'm a massive fan of Japanese culture, mythology and the Witcher games. What can be better than mixing these all together? ;D
I have already posted some photos from this photoshoot on my Instagram, but today I want to share with you this full photoshoot in HD ( so you can enjoy this creepy monster head and this beautiful location in HD) ;D
Btw, do you know that we built a real mini version of this location for this photoshoot? It was sculpted, painted and then shot separately. Then we increased the size in photoshop and added on my photos which were shot on a black background.
What do you think about this photographic trick? Looks good? ;)
Here is the full photoshoot for you! Please enjoy ^_^
I have no words to describe how much I want to show you more photos from this photoshoot! They all are so cute OMG! SOON SOON SOON!!!! *_*
This outfit reminds me of German dirndls a bit. Maybe I should make a cool photoshoot in one with a lot of beer ( October fest style haha)? XD I think this style looks good on me, what do you think? hahaha
Thank you very much for your opinions about my upcoming cosplays! I'm so happy that you are excited about almost all characters I mentioned in the last post. It seems that Red Sonja won, which means that I'm gonna start working on this cosplay upon reaching a new community goal - 750 Patrons ^_-
All Patrons supporting during the month when community goal is reached will get something special from this photoshoot based on their tier! ;)
And of course it doesn't mean that I'm gonna do only this cosplay! I'll start to work on Zelda, Aloy and Carmilla from Castlevania as well, so you can probably expect these cosplays in 2022 ;D
Talking about 2021, I prepared a lot of new cosplays which you can expect to see soon here on my Patreon and in my upcoming cosplay calendar and photobooks ;D - Black Widow - Fiona - KDA Akali - A new photoshoot of Triss - Keira Metz - Jun Tao - Another costume of Lenore - Yennefer alternative outfit
And who knows? Maybe even a beautiful Red Sonja will be brought to life in 2021? It all depends on you ;D
How are you doing? I hope that you enjoyed your August rewards πβ€οΈ
Today I have some exciting news! Some of you may know that I have an Official Discord server where me and my community, full of amazing people, post a lot of fun things, chat with each other, talk about videogames, boardgames, movies, life and even recipes of soups lmao π€£
I created special Discord channels reserved for my Patrons, so if you link your Discord here on Patreon, it will automatically give you access to a special closed channel depending on your tier, and you will have access to all our other amazing Discord channels and youβll get a special status/role πβ€οΈ
Let's chat more πππ
Irina
P.S. If ever you don't manage to join by linking your account, here is the general invite, but still make sure to link your discord to Patreon to get your special channels access π https://discord.gg/XKXPxtwUTp
First of all I wanted to tell you that I'm still in the process of sending August rewards! Because we had much more people than usual that month, I was not prepared for so many messages hahaha! XD I'm so sorry that it takes a bit more time than I expected, but I'm planning to finish everything today, so if you didn't receive your rewards yet, don't worry! You will get them in a few hours <3
And today I wanted to introduce you to the theme of September, my new photoshoot - One day at the Farm. Interestingly, some random selfies I posted on Instagram from this photoshoot had crazy engagement! I didn't expect that there would be so many fans of the countryside among you lol XD This day at the farm was truly amazing! I had a photoshoot in a medieval full-sized farm which was built as a movie set for some local movies. It has some epic locations like a windmill, but my favorite part is that - it's an actual farm with a lot of cute animals who tried to eat my dress all day long XD Cows, chickens, horses, rabbit, a donkey *_* SO CUTE I CAN'T!!!! You know, it's scientifically proven that regularly spending time in nature helps to be more healthy, energized and have a good mood ;D So this month I invite you to join my adventures in the countryside with this beautiful set ^_^
I can't wait to share more with you <3
Have an amazing day, Don't forget to take short walks to breathe some fresh air if you can. It's good for your health <3
First of all I wanted to thank you for your incredible support! Big thank you to all my long term Patrons who are with me for many months! Big thank you and welcome to all new people who joined our sweet Patreon family just recently!
I have no words to describe how happy I am to feel such a strong support and interest in my works! I'm always trying to do my best when I'm working on my cosplays and original projects, but YOU ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE THESE PROJECTS POSSIBLE! Thanks to YOU I'm able to bring all these amazing characters to life through my photos and videos :)
This month we broke all records! I never had so many new people joining my Patreon in 1 month and I never had SO MANY Patrons in total since the creation of my Patreon page! It's like a big unexpected holiday for me! So once again I want to thank you all for being with me! ^_^
Just in a few days I will send you all the beautiful rewards of August and to be more precise, you can expect them on the 4th of September ;D I really love this photoshoot with all my heart and I can't wait to share it with you and hear your opinion! So keep your eyes peeled for your private rewards message from me ;)
I want to apologize in advance for the slow replies this month. I'm still in the process of renovating my flat (almost finished aaaaaaaaa! XD It was tough!). I also had a lot of photoshoots this month, because August is the last warm and sunny month here, so I tried to shoot some essential cosplays outside while I still can ( without suffering as much....as I usually do ahhaha). Also because a lot of new people joined, I received waaay more messages than usually. So if I didn't reply to your message yet, please don't worry! I will do it in the next few days! And of course if you have any questions, please feel free to write me anytime :)
Coming back to Lenore, I want to mention that even though it was rather complicated cosplay and a photoshoot, I'm in love with the final result, so I'll definitely continue to do more content with this beautiful vampire lady. I've already started to work on her second outfit from the end of the TV series and I'm very excited to try recreating her brief moment in the sunrise from the series finale. It was such an emotional scene and I hope that I'll be able to bring it to life soon!
And it's not the only one surprise I have for you about Lenore ;D So, my dear fans of Castlevania and Lenore specifically - be ready for new announcements very soon hehe! ;)
Tomorrow is the first day of a new month - September! A new month = A new thematic photoshoot ^_~ For my amazing Patrons of September I prepared something very special for lovers of countryside hehe ;D I'll send you a first teaser together with your August rewards ;) I hope that you will like it!
Thanks again for your amazing support! I LOVE YOU ALL <3
Today is the last day of June and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for you massive support to my projects! So many of you have joined and sent me sweet feedback about my Peggy Carter cosplay! Just a little reminder, that you have only a few more hours to pick your preferred tier for this month to not miss my Peggy Carter and a casual "Stream Dress" photoshoot hehe ;D
Your amazing support motivates me so much and I'm happy to tell you that a lot of new cosplays are coming (but you probably already know it XD)
Very very soon I will send you your June rewards ( I'm afraid that because of my flight, I may be a few days late, so this month expect rewards to arrive by the 7th of July, but of course I will try to prepare everything ASAP) ^_^
Today I want to show you my new cosplay from one of your favorite videogames ( I assume by seeing you reactions to my Triss and Yen) ;D Now it's time for almost everyone's first romance in the Witcher 3 - Keira Metz. What do you think? Does it suit me? ;D I know I know, you probably love Triss more, but variety never hurts, right? ;D Who knows, maybe someday I will cosplay ALL the Witcher girls hahaha
How is your Saturday going? ;D I hope that you have some fun!
For me June is quite a complicated month. And no, not because I have tons of things to do XD Quite the opposite! Because of the weather ( +40 degrees Celsius ) I'm so not motivated to go outside hahahaha. Of course all new photo projects are a bit postponed till when I will come back home to a bit "colder" weather haha. I overestimated my ability to shoot Princess Fiona outside in the desert LMAO
Initially the plan was to make a part of the photoshoot in a theme park with a beautiful carriage from Shrek, but I'm afraid that I'll melt like a butter under this sun, so I'm planning to make an another photoshoot with greenery and sunflowers when I will come back home hehe
So yeah, this extremely hot weather makes me less active (so much that every day I'm dreaming about crazy hikes...I would sell my soul to come back to the US national parks or Amazonian jungles HAHAHHA). But at the same time? This passive period of life made me work on other big projects which require a lot of time ;D I'm very very excited to show you what I'm working on right now ;D Keep your eyes peeled hehehe ;)
Have an amazing weekend and stay safe!
Melting Irina with love <3
P.S. We have so many new people joined our Patreon family this month *_* Thank you very much AAAAAA! *_* I also wanted to mention a little fact about photo rewards. Some of you may notice that I post photos with my logo on other social networks and my Patreon feed. But all Patrons receive rewards without any logos. Just saying, for those who want to use photos as wallpaper ;D
First of all I want to say a huge thank you for your sweet words about my Agent Carter photo! You have no idea how happy I am to see with how much love and positive feedback you've welcomed this cosplay!
You know, I usually have a good sense of what kind of characters can suit me and what you would like to see from me (OR MAYBE NOT? XD If I'm always off, please don't tell me hahahaha Don't break my heart lol)... So anyway, this time I was not really sure if this character is good for me, because the amazing actress has such a unique face so far from mine that I've never dared to make this cosplay... Until I suddenly decided to buy it in the middle of the night.
" I already have 10 costumes in progress? Maybe I should finally finish them? Nah..... How about grabbing a 11th one? XD" - typical Irina
I was really worried before this photoshoot ( and during the photoshoot as well XD ). I barely slept the night before the photoshoot... The next day was rainy and my perfectly made old school hairstyle started to fall apart even before I arrived to the photo studio, light settings required a lot of work this time, because we wanted to make this photoshoot look vintage with the minimum post production and in general this character was very new for me and I didn't even had a chance to try the whole cosplay before the photoshoot. So what can I say? It was quite challenging XD
After seeing the photos I was positively surprised and very proud of the result and I'm so happy that many of you even called it "One of my best cosplays"! T_T Awwwwwwww! I really have no words to describe how happy I am to see that you like it!
Very very soon I will show you even more beautiful photos from this photoshoot, but today, let me show you the surprise 2nd photoshoot of the month - My Favorite Streaming Dress XD
You probably want to ask me why I picked such a strange name and how it's even connected with streams? XD
So... Long story short - I adore this dress! It looks pretty and feminine and tbh it could become my most adored dress ever, but...
IT DOESN'T COVER MY BUTT XD AT ALL! I don't know why this dress has such a weird fit, but 1 thing I can say for sure - it's not wearable in real life ahhahaha, so I usually stream in this dress, because it looks pretty and cute if you look from the front XD
As many of you may know, last month was the month of Twitch for me! I came back to my channel, became an affiliate and started to stream regularly. Even though my channel is fairly new, we already have a lot of fun memes and jokes with my amazing viewers. So this month together with the main photoshoot ( Agent Carter ), all Patrons will also get the 2nd photoshoot "My Favorite Streaming Dress". A part of this photoshoot is actually very classy and feminine ( as you can see on a photo above ), the other part is funny and full of memes and funny faces and the last part is wet.... Yeah what do you think? I was near the swimming pool. I couldn't resist to jump in lol
Each Patrons will receive an amount of photos depending on their tier and I hope that you will enjoy the mega pack of June ;D
I want to wish you an amazing weekend! Stay safe!
Grumpy Irina From home watching the Microsoft conference at E3 and AGAIN not seeing the sequel of Skyrim among their announcements :((((((((((((((((
How are you today? ;D I'm currently working on all your rewards for May and I expect to finish sending them by the end of this day, so keep your eyes peeled for a message from me ;D I hope that you will enjoy my Pink Pin-Up!
And now? It's time to show you the theme of this month!!! Funnily enough, this photoshoot is kind of continuing the theme of Pin-Up of May, because the character I'm cosplaying is a beautiful lady from the 1950s, but instead of pretty house wife, she is badass and wears a military outfit ;D
Please welcome my Peggy Carter - an official theme of June (but not the only one) ;D! Yeah yeah! Just a little reminder, that June will be a special month where I will have 2 photoshoot themes ;D
I will show you a sneak peak of the 2nd photoshoot in a few days, keep your eyes peeled!
And please, let me know what you think about the Pink Pin-Up after receiving it ;D
Have an amazing day,
Irina from the secret safehouse of S.H.I.E.L.D with love
First of all, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you, who decided to support me on this platform! I'm still a bit shocked (positively) about how many people joined in May O_O!!! Omg, Pink Pin-Up became the most demanded set of all times!!! Can you believe, it even beat the record of my Black Tape photoshoots!!! I'm speechless T_T!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!! <3
I've already started to prepare all rewards for you and as always, you will receive your message with the rewards of May around the 4th of June! Btw, for everyone who just joined I will repeat it here, as Patreon may be a bit confusing: all the rewards are sent at the beginning of the following month of your subscription. For example, you will get your June rewards early July etc ^_^ I recommend to all those who just joined to read the FAQ which is the pinned post here on Patreon.
I have more excellent news for your today!!! ;D
As you may know, I'm currently working very hard on my new photobook dedicated to one of my all time favorite video games - The Witcher 3. A few months ago I set a community goal, upon reaching which, I would make a cosplay of Keira Metz in both her outfits - the original costume from the game + an original boudoir version. I can't believe that I'm saying that, but... WE HAVE REACHED THIS COMMUNITY GOAL IN MAY!!!! You were more than 600 subscribers in May!!!! I'm literally crying of happiness!!!
It not only motivates and inspires me to do more beautiful cosplays, but also adds bonus content for all supporters of May. Together with the colorful Pink Pin-Up, all Patrons of May will get some bonus photos of Keira Metz depending on their tier. I've decided not to release this cosplay before I finish working on my photobook to keep it a surprise for those who will get the book, but those of you who helped me to reach this goal in May will see some exclusive photos it before anyone else ;D
Keep your eyes peeled for the message from me to see all the beautiful rewards of May in a few days and... for the announcement of the theme of THIS MONTH ;D
...But wait, I can already tell you that June will be a month of 2 photoshoots instead of 1! And one of these photoshoots will be dedicated to a very classy lady in a military uniform from the 1950s. I guess you have already guessed about which cosplay I'm talking about hehe ;D
Again, thank you very much for your amazing support! YOU ARE THE BEST! Stay safe and hydrated!
Irina From her 5G micro-chip with love ( yeah, I got vaccinated hahaha)
First of all, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sweet words about my Spring Shibari photoshoot! I received so many cute messages where you said that you really like this idea and photos. AWWWWWWWW! :3 I have to say that it really makes my day *_* THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
This month I also have something very special for you and I hope that you will enjoy it as much as Spring Shibari ( or maybe even more ;D )!
1 Year ago while traveling in an RV across the US, I visited a very pretty city in Idaho - Wallace. Tbh, I was extremely inspired, because this town looked like it was stuck in the 1950s. I didn't have any costumes with me, only my blue polka dots dress which happened to look a bit pin-up-ish, so I immediately decided to make an improvised photoshoot. At that time I didn't have any styling products for my hair and even appropriate shoes ( time to reveal a deep secret - I had my hiking sandals that day, so it explains the absence of full body photos hahahahaha). I was very happy that so many people who followed me that month enjoyed that photoshoot very much.
Many people asked me to make a full professional Pin-up photoshoot. And finally!!!!!!! After 1 year I'm finally ready to share with you my new project - Pink Pinup which is the main reward of May! For this photoshoot we adapted some classic pinup themes on a more modern setting. Initially I thought about making some vintage post-production, but tbh I'm so in love with the original pop colors that I want to leave everything as it is, without heavy modifications :) Btw, It was a 5 hours photoshoot and we actually used 3 different photo studios, so you will be able to see many different locations on the photos from this photoshoot ;D One of them is this pretty laundry. Home chores are boring and annoying sometimes, so I wanted through my photos to make it look more inspiring XD Maybe next time you do laundry, just look at my photo and remember that every task can be fun if we look at it in a more creative way ;D I don't mean that you should necessarily wear lingerie, furry deshabille and dance on the floor, but... you know what I want to say XDDDD
Anyway, I think I talk a bit too much, so I just hope that you will enjoy this photoshoot as much as I enjoyed making it ^_^ Can't wait to show you the final result.
Btw, very suddenly I have a new cosplay! I've never planned to make this character, but life is amazing and full of surprises. The day after tomorrow I'll shoot Agent Carter! *_* I hope that it will suit me. Can't wait to try it all together with makeup and show you the result! ^_^
Wish me luck!
Have an amazing week and stay safe ^_^
Irina from cosplay deadline hell before photoshoots with love
This is already the end of April, and oh my, it was a month so packed with creations and photoshoots! (BTW, as the month is ending, it's the last few hours to get the Spring Shibari set, so if you are interested it's the right time! As always all Patrons of April will get photos from that set, and April Patrons from tiers Sapphire, My Superhero/All Access and It's Personal will all get this full set!)
Thank you all SO MUCH for your outstanding support this month! The community is growing and I cannot thank you enough for all your sweet message and encouragements, and your participation here on Patreon. Thanks to you, I have been able to work on a LOT of cosplays this month, including my take on Black Widow and many upcoming ones I will reveal soon...
AND today was a very special day as for the first time in YEARS I shot a new character from the Witcher world!!! KEIRA METZ, and this was such a great day in an amazing location that looks like a herbalist's retreat in the forest. I can't wait for you to discover it! I don't know for you but it's such a joy to return to the Witcher world with one more amazing sorceress from this universe. I was initially thinking about having Keira being the theme of May but I am working on a photobook with all Witcher character I cosplayed so I'll have to be a bit more patient and will release this photoshoot this summer! ;D
So you wonder, what may be the theme of May? I have a good news. So many of you were very excited and happy about the Pin-up test that I did during my quarantine road-trip last year, and I made it happen! The theme of May will be Pink Pin-up and will have Pink Pin-Up boudoir too! Yes, as you can guess it will have a LOT of pink XD And Patrons will discover the first teaser in a few days, so keep you eyes here on the Patreon feed!
Again thank you from the bottom of my heart for making all these exciting projects possible! <3 It makes me so happy to be able to create all these for you!
Irina From Keira's hut with love
P.S. All rewards of April will be sent at the 4th of May ^_^
First of all, I wanted to say thank you very much for your sweet words about my Tifa photoshoot! I think I've never received SO MANY cute messages from you as after this photoshoot! *_*
I'm so happy that you like this cosplay of mine! I can't wait to show you all the new exciting cosplay projects I'm currently working on! ;D Btw, Black Widow, Keira Metz and Fiona are almost finished and I hope to surprise you with one of this cosplays very very soon. Tell me, which one is the most exciting for you? ;D
But today let's talk about my brand new project of April - Spring Shibari. First of all, I wanted to say that Shibari is not something I planned to do and this whole project was organized very fast without too much thinking. One of my photographers just texted me "hey Irina, I have an interesting idea! Do you want to participate?". I just closed my eyes and the next minute I'm already standing in the middle of a photo studio, cutting paper butterflies... with 120 meter of rope in my bag and tons of flowers XD
What can I say about this experience? Interesting.... definitely interesting and uncomfortable. I have very sensitive skin, so at the end of the photoshoot my skin was very red under these ropes ( as you can see on this photo). I'm not sure, should we keep these marks from ropes on final photos or cover it in post production? Your thoughts?
Anyway, it was very fun and interesting to try it! ( Not sure I would try it again though.... hahahahahah). I can't wait to share with you more photos from this photoshoot! Keep your eyes peeled ;D
P.S. Just a little secret - I'm coming back on Twitch! This Saturday I will play Hitman 3 LIVE and I'm very excited to see you there! If you have free time, please join ;D I didn't make an official announcement on my other socials yet, but I wanted to tell it to you before everyone else hehe ;D
How was your March? I hope that you had a lot of fun and pleasant moments ^_^
For me it was a month of fundamental changes in my life. I went back to the gym and dancing classes lmao. So almost everyday I train. I still need to get used to such active lifestyle hahahaha. To be completely honest, after coming back from the US where I spent half of a year hiking amazing places...... I WAS A VERY LAZY POTATO FOR THE REST OF 2020 XD Anyway, I'm very excited to dance again. Maybe soon I will have some beautiful videos to show you, so you can rate my dancing skills ahhahahaha
Anyway, today is the last day of this month and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing support!
I'm very happy to hear your kind words about my Tifa cosplay! I tried to make my best to bring this character to life! It took 2 full photoshoot days in collaboration with 2 talented photographers. I can say without hesitation that I'm very proud of the final result! I can't wait to show it to you in a few days, I want to hear your feedback ^_^ Who knows, maybe I will do more outfits of Tifa in the near future and maybe someday it will become a beautiful photobook? Hehehe :) Btw, you will receive your March rewards via Patreon messages on the 4th of April ^_^
As always tiers Sapphire, My Superhero, All Access and Itβs Personal will get the full photoshoot ^_-, but this month all tiers will get additional photos and bonus photos as we managed to make a lot of photos of Tifa both in her original outfit and in dress! The higher the tier the more bonus photos will be given. ;) Also this month marks the release of Captain Elizabeth which is a photoset exclusive on demand for the tiers My Superhero/All Access and It's Personal and can be requested as part of March rewards (in a few days) by the Patrons of these tiers! This photoset of this original character means a lot to me as it's one of my favorite DnD characters and I think the result is very movie-like hahahaha Maybe it's because we went to a very special giant movie studio outdoors to shoot that photoset!! :) I will add some previews of Captain Elizabeth to all tiers this month to give you a glimpse of this exclusive photoshoot, but of course the lucky patrons of the tiers who can request this photoshoot (My Superhero/All Access and It's Personal) will have the chance to get the whole set! ;)
Thanks again for your amazing support! It means the world to me! Have an amazing week!

I hope that you all will have an amazing month full of fun and joy! For me this month is filled with muscle pain LOL. I finally decided to start a serious workout routine... You know... All these classic girls' "I need to lose all this fat before summer" XD My trainer is a bear, I went out of the gym with shaky legs, but happy! I also regularly attend my dancing courses. Hmmm.. maybe I should share with you some videos? I don't know hahahha XD
Anyway, I want to wish you an amazing day! Stay safe and hydrated #IrinaAndHerHealthAdvices
Fist of all I wanted to say thank you very much for your amazing support! So many new people joined our Patreon family this month! I'm so happy that project of this month made you SO excited! ;D I can't wait to show you all the beautiful photos we made with my talented photographers!
Today I will be short - I just wanted to announce that tomorrow - Saturday the 20th of March at 11 PM Moscow time/ 9 PM CET time/ 1 PM Los Angeles I'll have a LIVE broadcast on my closed Instagram. During the LIVE I will share with you more information about my upcoming cosplays and reveal of my next photobook plans ;D
I can't wait to talk with you and have a lot of fun! Please join if you have time ;D
Everyone from tier Gold or above have access to my private Instagram. If you were not added yet, please send me a direct message on Patreon. If you have already sent a message and haven't been added yet, don't worry, I will add you tomorrow during the day <3 Last days were a bit busy, so I still didn't reply to some of your messages yet, but I will do tomorrow :)
First of all, I wanted to say thank you very much for your kind words about my February's photoshoot! I'm so happy to read that you like Flora! It really makes my day when I read your sweet messages! Thank you for that from the bottom of my heart ^_^
Seems like many of you were also excited about my Tifa Lockhart cosplay! I have to say that this time we made really tons of beautiful photos, even more than I expected to be honest as it's usually tricky. It's much more complicated to make an epic cosplay picture, because unlike casual or original photoshoots, cosplay ones have a lot of parameters which I need to keep in mind. It's not enough to just make a cute face for the camera haha. I need to show similar emotions, pick angles which make me look like a character the most and of course pick appropriate poses. Omg, I really didn't feel my leg after we tried to make a shot where I hit the camera hahahaha. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that with all this "high cosplay science" I need to look natural and relaxed hahahahahahaha. Fun fact about my cosplay life - I lost 800 kcal during that photoshoot - which is comparable with 1,5 intense cardio in gym for me XD ( yeah #HowCouldILiveWithoutThisInfoIrina hahahahha XD, sorry, I just like to share weird facts, you know)
So yeah, long story short, it was a very interesting project to work on! I was so in love with this cosplay that I decided to make a second photoshoot. Many of you asked me to make Tifa's evening dress from the game as well. It will take some time, but I promise to make it in the near future! But you know what? I have something to please you already! ;D I decided to make some photos of Tifa in an evening dress. Yeah, I know it's not really canon, but I really believe that this dress ( From my Lara Croft Legend game cosplay) suits her so well! What do you think?
So as you can guess, this month will have a VERY VERY large amount of photos thanks to these two photoshoots.
So this month to celebrate these massive photoshoots you will get, based on your tier, some extra photos: Main set will be Tifa Original from my two shoots + some extra Bonus of Tifa Dress! + Some extra mini bonus of my PirateElizabeth
The higher the tier, the more of the bonuses you will get, but everyone will get some additional content! :)
P.S. How about a LIVE broadcast on my closed Instagram soon? ;D Maybe next weekend? what do you think?
Have an amazing days, my dears! I have to go torture my dear players in the Legend of the 5 Rings campaign now. Today is the final game! I'm so excited! Wish me good luck :)
Wow! I'm so happy to see that you like my Tifa Lockhart cosplay! Your kind words mean the world to me and I can't wait to share with you the professional photos and some fun backstage videos! Keep your eyes peeled, I have a lot of updates for you hehehe ;D
Also today I want to announce that this month TWO new photoshoots will be available on demand for the following tiers, starting this month (requests can be made when you will get your rewards email early April):
- My Superhero / All Access (includes full main photoshoot + 1 full photoshoot on demand per month)
- It's personal (includes full main photoshoot +2 full photoshoots on demand per month)
For those of you who didn't know, these 2 tiers can request extra photoshoots from the following list each month ( on top of the photoshoots of the month ):
The 1st photoshoot added this month in the list is my Las Vegas Lights photoshoot. This photoshoot means a lot to me as it is probably the most experimental photoshoot I ever did! Indeed this was shot in near total obscurity under solely the lights of Las Vegas by night, with some bodypaint designs that I drew myself and with some very special blacklight lighting in front of the immensity of the city by night. This play of shadows and darklight is available on demand!
The 2nd photoshoot added is a brand new and EXCLUSIVE full set that was never seen before (you may have seen one photo of this shoot if you have my 2021 Calendar ;) and is only available for now on demand for the above tiers: Captain Elizabeth! I had so much fun working on that costume and photoshoot! As you may know I am a big Dungeons and Dragons fan and this photoshoot is inspired by one of my favorite characters I played: a pirate captain called Elizabeth who was my character during the first campaign on which my best friend was DM! My badass pirate spent the whole campaign trying to regain her ship and had to negotiate with all sorts of shady NPCs! Hahaha :) For this shoot I actually shot on location in a very special pirate city built for movies shoots so I really adore the piratey vibe from this shoot!
I hope that you will enjoy Tifa, the theme of the month and these new shoots on demand!!
Can't wait to share with you all the beautiful photos of this month π I'll run to bed now as I have to wake up at 6am to prepare for TWO photoshoots tomorrow... wish me luck as I think I'll need a lot of coffee!! XD
Hello my dear friends, Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for your amazing support this month! I'm so happy that you like my Flora photoshoot. Today is officially the last day of Winter (at least in Russia) and weβll already be in March tomorrow ππ I hope that this sweet and flowery photoshoot that you will receive in a few days will make your month of March even more pleasant!
Btw, you will all receive your February rewards on the 4th of March! Keep your eyes peeled for a message from me π
Today I wanted to show you the first cute selfie of my Tifa! I'm so excited to finally finish this cosplay OMG! Tifa Lockhart from FF7R is my March theme of the month β€οΈ So you can expect more backstages, selfies, professional photos and even a little video soon πβ€οΈ
Thanks again for being with me, I love you all! π
How was your February? Mine was pretty intense, because I worked a lot on my upcoming cosplays! I'm very happy to announce that we finally made a photoshoot of Tifa Lockhart from FF7R and I have to say that the result is really cool! It' very different from all the photoshoots I had so far! I hope that you will appreciate our creative decisions ;D I will send you the first studio photo together with all the February rewards! ^_^ (Btw, you will receive them via Patreon messages on the 4th of March!)
This month we had so many new people joining our sweet Patreon family and I want to say that I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart that you support my cosplays and creative projects! I really hope that you will enjoy my Flora set! It's the last month of winter, so let's say bye bye to cold weather with this warm and flowery photoshoot! Okay, to be completely honest, I think this photoshoot is one of the most beautiful I've ever done and I'm talking about the aesthetic side hehe. We wanted to achieve a romantic, sweet and vintage vibe and I think we made it! Though... I still didn't decide which color correction I like more among many options we tried XD This month you will receive many photos with 2-3 different type of editing, so you can pick the one you prefer the most! ;D
I also decided to increase the amount of photos for the tier 25 Platinum ;D So you can expect the bigger amount of photo this month! As always tiers Sapphire, My Superhero, All Access and Itβs Personal will get the full photoshoot ^_-
Many of you were wondering what photos these tiers receive for the shoot of the month, so I have added a small preview for you to see what the full set of this month will contain! (And each tier has also additional benefits.) So make sure to pick the right tier you want for February as the month ends tomorrow!
Thanks again for your amazing support! I wish you an amazing weekend, have a lot of fun! ^_^
Hello my dear Dovakins, (if you didn't play Skyrim and you have no idea what this word means, don't worry! It's not something offensive hahahhahahahah)
How is your day going?
I'm happy to announce that my photobook "The Huntress" is available on my Etsy shop again! Many people asked me to make a reprint, because they couldn't order a copy before they were completely sold out, so here we go! A limited quantity is now available here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/IrinaMeierShop
I have already sent all the discount codes to everyone who has it as a part of their tiers :) You can check your recent Patreon messages. (Please make sure to apply the discount code before paying, because unfortunately I can't do it retroactively!)
I also want to remind you that a selection of this photoshoot will be available on request this month for the tiers: My Superhero/All Access and It's Personal :)
I have also added on Etsy 3 brand new high quality A4 print photo packs! :
- A pack of 5 signed photo prints from my latest Cyberpunk shoot of V, including one from her in her cyberbath! XD
- A pack of 3 signed photo prints from January's Desert Wonders photoset (are you team green or team black? hahaha)
- And finally, a pack of 5 signed photo prints from the Aela the Huntress (Skyrim Inspired) shoot, for those of you who want to have separate prints :)
Have an amazing day! FUS RO DAH!
Irina with love
P.S. I left a secret message using the dragon language for you in that picture. Will you be able to decode it? ;)
PPS (haha): Just a small information if you have placed an order in November or December, the postal services did experience some crazy delays and I did investigate with the Russian Posts, USPS and many local postal services and it seems that the congestion was due to a combination of Covid + Christmas busy crazy time. However since mid January the delays have shortened dramatically so if you place now an order it should arrive significantly faster to you! :)
Thank you very much for all the sweet words about my new "Flora" photoshoot! I'm so happy to hear that you like it and I can't wait to share with you more photos very soon ^_^
Also today I'm happy to announce that this month 3 new photoshoots will be available on demand for the following tiers: - My Superhero / All Access
- It's personal
For those of you who didn't know, these 2 tiers can request extra photoshoots from the following list each month ( on top of the photoshoots of the month ):
The 1st photoshoot added this month in the list is my new Aela the Huntress photoshoot which was never released Online!
All photos were exclusive for the photobook, but now you can get some of these photos digitally ^_^ (Btw, I'm currently reprinting another batch of photobooks and soon I will add them in my shop, so those who missed them will have a chance to purchase ^_^ )
The 2nd photoshoot added is my Sporty Tifa which I shot last August! It was my first take on Tifa and I was very satisfied with the result, so I decided to create a full cosplay of her (which btw will come next month ;D)
The 3rd photoshoot added is my Shaman (also code named: the Shaman of Walmart XD). For those who don't know, I created this costume during my motorhome quarantine in the US. I didn't have any tools and materials with me, so it was a challenge - I decided to create a costume, using only random things I could find in Walmart hahahhaha I love this project with all my heart!
Thank you very much for being with me!
Can't wait to share with you all the beautiful photos of this month π
