Another reason to follow other artists is that their enthusiasm rubs off on you. You, and Bill Doran, and Adam Savage are prime examples of people who just enthusiastically love what they do and that is a big part of what makes you & Benni's videos so much fun to watch (for me at least).
....i just want to say thank you soo much, i haven't been very motivated to cosplay mostly due to my body type but also because of my depression...ever since i found your channel a couple months ago i have the want and need to get back into it...i won't lie this video made me cry a little. made me realize there are ways to get back into cosplay and do something i love. so thank you so very much.
I literally need this right now! Im currently making edward elric’s automail arm and leg from fullmetal alchemist and its already so difficult but your videos keep my spirit up and you make me want to be a better version of myself :) thankyou Svetlana
im just a budding artist from the Philippines , just started last year, and for petesake im 34 already hahaha. just wanna tell u how much i appreciate this video, your other videos, your workmanship, and your dog hahah iactually dont need 10 reasons, you already have me even before the number started. lovelots...
OMG!!!! You need to consider being a motivational speaker. I'm currently working on a rental property that's taking forever. In an abstract way, this video motivated me to get off my tail and finish it. I find your personality truly uplifting and keep up the great content and humor.
You are my spirit human. I have been stuck on this one cosplay for a year now and promised to get it done this year, but I have no motivation what-so-ever. But now I feel like I could start off with something small like gloves, instead of the breastblade with what I have troubles :D
I've been on a haitus for about a year and a half now... I miss cosplay so much, but I moved to a new country to be with my fiancé and the standard here is tile floors. They're all laid down so crooked and our house is tiny, it's so difficult to craft here. Luckily we're trying to move and get a space with enough room for a craft room! Yay cosplay!
I do some domestical soldering (not for cosplay) and scared to f**k it all up, but your words almost took my worries away. TY Sveta, you're a person of great energy!
6:18 I get this one, so much... so friggin much... Currently trying to make a suit of armor out of metal. I am making my second proto-type for the gauntlet at the moment, and if it works it will be what I use. Because god DANGIT, each finger plate takes me just under 20 minutes (used to take longer, I've made proper templates now) to: trace, cut out, use an angle grinder to do most of the shaving down, compare with others to make small adjustments, shave down the edges so as to not cut myself, bend/curve into position, and eventually put into position by riveting it into the glove... Each gauntlet requires 28 finger plates, let alone the other parts. My first prototype took me 28 hours of work time. Yes, this is my first cosplay. D: As annoying as it is, the moment I put my first prototype on, I just breathed a sigh of relief, was extremely happy, and then found out a million and one problems with it, hence prototype 2. Sweet jesus ;-;
Haha that sounds like a love/hate relationship right there! But it looks like the pride of having made something outweights the tedious work steps and that‘s good!!!
Great tips! I have wanted to cosplay for 14 years. Haven't done it yet due to time and monetary constraints. I'll probably buy your books when I finally start cosplaying!! Hope you keep making more videos and books. :)
reminding myself why I do the costume is a great tip; I do the same with sports on super unmotivated days. also I bought your LED books because I love lights and I also feel like I'll put them everywhere once I know how it works. the reason for my sudden enthusiasm to learn working with LEDs is (only) the jacket of Connor from Detroit: Become Human. I won't even make the entire cosplay, just the jacket. I want to add blinking lights so I can have Rave-Connor.
These are really great tips that can be applied to pretty much anything! It's amazing how you can encourage others with such a positive attitude and reminding others it's okay to fail because that's how you learn! Great video and adorable puppers as always ♡♡
I’ve been battling depression-caused burnout for several months, I’m slowly getting back to it and this video gave me a good push forward. You’re amazing!!
Also, I just had Denver Pop Culture Con, went as Pyramid Head. Couldn’t see shit. Your bit about not being able to move/see/use the restroom hit home 😂😂
Oh ty so much for this video. I’ve been commissioning for cosplayers for 7 years. I took a 1.5 yr hiatus & have found that I’ve climbed out of my long rabbit hole just days before viewing this video. I actually get inspired watching a league of legends video you made in the past. I would play it before working on pieces of comms. With new projects & ufo’s I feel this video has sparked me once again! Ty
Thank you for your upbeat attitude! Love it! Just getting into cosplay with my daughter. And Benny is going to "teach" me how to paint... Your channel is awesome and fun!
Another great video Svetlana. Blizz Con is great and the Anaheim Convention center is a great location for a Con. The hotels are really really close to the hall, there's lot's of shade, and if you are in the mood for it, it's a short walk to DISNEYLAND :D. If you want another convention that would allow you to be more casual, I strongly suggest..... wait for it.....WONDERCON!!!!! This convention is put on by the same group of folks that created Comic-Con, but this is a much more casual convention with much less of a Hollywood presence. This convention is where the Comic-Con people go to just hang out with other people and actually spend the time attending panels, shows and demonstrations that really interest them. (It's the convention that Comic-Con staff go to in order to actually just spend the time enjoying a convention). In summary, it is a great convention with more Cosplay than you shake a stick at (American Euphemism), Great people, Great panels, Awesome Exhibits, Creative Artist's Alley, Cool Vendors, Lot's of food..... did I mention the food??... oh yeah, lot's and lot's of food. Hope to see you there one day!
Thank you! This video meant a lot, I’m just starting out at the very beginning of cosplay and have been working on a cosplay hat for the past 5 months- I know it’s small thing to start with- but I’ve been feeling frustrated + tired sometimes and this was very motivating! Thank you for reminding me again why I am starting out!
Thank you for all the tips 😄 I want to start getting to creating and making things more and Cosplay seems like a really cool hobby for it 😊 And your channel is such a blessing 👍 Because your videos motivate me 😉
Thank you for the tips and technique sharing as it’s giving me the tools to work on my Volt cosplay which I’ve been wanting to do since I saw him in beta. And one up more if I have enough foam I’m gonna do an alternate helmet he has that’s more detailed then his base.
Your tips are spot on. I try to learn a new process with every costume I do and it keeps things super fun. :) It's also a lot of fun to look around and see what you have and look for methods people haven't tried before.
i'm a starting artist in 3d and game design and i feel better with my self knowing that i can take a brake and not feeling like finishing a project , i kind of pressure myself so mutch that i dont know if i want to continue some times, thaks for the insight, it is good to hear from others sometimes that takeing a brake is ok :D
4:39 this is so eye opening. I am actually in a dilemma right now about a three day con ( hotel and tickets about €120)and I am struggeling to finish my cosplays but now I think I'm just gonna finish one now and have fun on sunday without a cosplay on.
you are very passionate and enthusiastic about your work it feels like a kid on super sugar rush but here its a adult ha ha ha nice its fun also to watch how u craft all the cosplay projects. its really awesome.
This video is just what I needed as a cosplayer right now. I've been through some tough stuff, and felt bad for not being able to cosplay or even post anything in social media for almost six months. But after hearing your points, now I see that break as something positive. After all, I had time to do other things like gaming and reading manga, and that got me inspired again. Now I'm going back to work full force on new projects as soon as I can. Thanks Kamui
First of all: I love the videos! They make me really happy. Second: Everytime I hear things like "working on a cosplay for month" I feel super bad because for the past 2 years I only spent a week on cosplay (each year)....I'm never totally happy with them and I could definitly improve them but everytime I WANT to work on my cosplays I've got university and since all my cosplay stuff is at my parents place (and they live like 3h away) I can't really do anything or try out techniques.... :( Third: now I want to work on a cosplay...
The tip 4, I'm really the same like you, I have to do several projects at the same time, because first I always see something new and want it, and also I start to lose patient just doing the same thing, it feels really good to know my favorite cosplayer is the same. But I also know people who gain motivation from a complete finished project. It's just important to know either way is normal and just do what makes you happy :D
nice video ! ^^ i know a french cosplayer who made a burnout not a long time ago and this was hard because she had a project from 2 years ago with a group for a group of Lux :/ and i was so sad for her but she is back with a big and badass odogaron armor ! its cool ! ^^
10 corgis of 10, thanks a lot for this video! have 44 days to finish my costume while there's like 3% done and I'm terrified of how much has to be done yet and your video's given me confidence. it's all about having fun, right
You absolute Goddess!! Thank you so much for this video. I've learnt all of these tips on my own , but I'm so glad you've put it in a way that everyone can relate to. Your video style though is simply lovely!!! Thank you for always inspiring!
Something I do when I have issues is I actually involve my friends/parents. It sorta turns into a crafting party/ bonding time. I love hearing their thoughts and ideas on how to do something. They don’t really cosplay like I do but they encourage and help me a lot.
¨number 8: start with something small.¨ Me, who picked the most difficult armor from the game to start cosplaying: I´m gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
I’d love to see a video of how you organise your studio, store your costumes, cleanup or the in progress mess 😂 I have a room but it’s so poorly organised and I’m not full time art at the moment I find myself packing things in bags I need for a certain project and carrying them around 🙈
Same for me with the sewing. I usually make things I’ve never done before that has no pattern or tutorial. So I always make mock ups with cheap materials ( card/ old bed sheets) till I’m happy with the pattern.
man i just love your energy, thiese were also great tips, ive been procastinating on a project because im new and i suck but it's starting to get there
I like doing cosplay but the time it takes and the struggle to make things look good can sometimes bring down my spirits about things.thanks for the tips!
What I did for my phoenix masquerade costume was make a list of components I had to have (wings, mask, crest) and things I wanted (feathered cuffs), and when I got each part done I checked it off the list. I did one piece at a time - right cuff, then the left, one wing and then the other. I didn't skip around and do bits of different parts. That way I felt I'd accomplished something, instead of having a lot of uncompleted pieces laying around.
Do love your videos and tutorials. Cosplay is cool I always make things from cardboard for my kids. Just moving on to EVA Foam and its great cant believe how easy it is when you have a point to start from and easy tutorials :) Finding time is tight, Im a father , grandfather, husband, various sports club member, gamer, instructor... pet owner lol. My tip #11: Smoke Weed to relax lol. Cheers :) much love from New Zealand :)
This was the exact video I needed to prepare for my convention in 2 months (and future cosplay projects)! ❤️ Thank you for sharing your tips! I love your videos! 😁
This is really helpful, and reminds me of that time I was thinking of stop cosplay at all, stop attending any convention, too, because of problems and shit... At that time I dedicated myself to start a costume, just for the sake of it, and those months of sewing were very relaxing and actually fun, because there wasn't any deadline or people rushing me :D
Thank you so much for sharing these tips, I can't explain how thankful I'm, I'm having a hard time getting back to crafting after Giving birth to my baby girl, it's so confusing now, these tips really helped me thank you
Great tips! I feel like the New Material tip is really vining with me right now. I’m having a tough time getting excited about the next couple Foam armor projects I have planned. But thinking about sculpting and molding some prosthetics for a Skyrim character sounds soooo fun, so thanks! 😁
I would love a video on how you made your spray booth! If there is time and others are also interested of course! Love all of your videos thank you so much for taking all the time to make them!!!!
We sadly didn’t filmed anything and I don’t want to build a second one just for a video. However you can find more information and some progress photos in my Advanced Painting Book! :)
Thank you. Like millions of others, right now. I have a ton of free time. Also a lot of projects to work on. Moving from project to project. Is a good idea. When one gets stuck on a problem. For too long. My current projects; • Finish assembling my DIY CNC router. (Sooo many cosplay, & prototyping pieces to cut out!) • Figure out how to calibrate my 3D printer. (More cosplay, & prototyping work) • Finish the electronics for my convention's dragon display. • Turn old PC speaker's Bass speaker. Into a 12VDC automotive Bass speaker. • Get on my favorite MMO. Defeat my enemies. And stand on a pile of their skulls! But 1st, take the dogs out to go potty.
This was actually helpful because I have been in a rut with some of my builds. Honestly I have a model that I started and maybe I should take a break and finish it.
I remember I was watching one of those "interviewing cosplayers at a con" videos and this one girl was cosplaying as Pharah from Overwatch in PJs. The interviewer (very politely) asked her why, and she said she'd been trying to make a "legit" Pharah cosplay with crazy makeup and foam armor but about a month before the con she ended up breaking an important piece. She said she was bummed for a while but ended up deciding to do a low effort cosplay and had a great time anyway

This is really helpful, and reminds me of that time I was thinking of stop cosplay at all, stop attending any convention, too, because of problems and shit... At that time I dedicated myself to start a costume, just for the sake of it, and those months of sewing were very relaxing and actually fun, because there wasn't any deadline or people rushing me :D
Yes!
Great video. Tips apply to any maker, not just cosplay. Love the cute editing too! Cheers. : )
thank you so much for this ! i've been putting off a mega huge project for a few months now.. ehe....
Thank you so much for sharing these tips, I can't explain how thankful I'm, I'm having a hard time getting back to crafting after Giving birth to my baby girl, it's so confusing now, these tips really helped me thank you
Great tips! I feel like the New Material tip is really vining with me right now. I’m having a tough time getting excited about the next couple Foam armor projects I have planned.
But thinking about sculpting and molding some prosthetics for a Skyrim character sounds soooo fun, so thanks! 😁
8/8 thumbnail mate, looks great
I would love a video on how you made your spray booth! If there is time and others are also interested of course! Love all of your videos thank you so much for taking all the time to make them!!!!
We sadly didn’t filmed anything and I don’t want to build a second one just for a video. However you can find more information and some progress photos in my Advanced Painting Book! :)
@@KamuiCosplayI have all of your books and love them so I'm sure it will be excellent an I will keep an eye out for it! Thanks!
Thank you. Like millions of others, right now. I have a ton of free time. Also a lot of projects to work on.
Moving from project to project. Is a good idea. When one gets stuck on a problem. For too long.
My current projects;
• Finish assembling my DIY CNC router. (Sooo many cosplay, & prototyping pieces to cut out!)
• Figure out how to calibrate my 3D printer. (More cosplay, & prototyping work)
• Finish the electronics for my convention's dragon display.
• Turn old PC speaker's Bass speaker. Into a 12VDC automotive Bass speaker.
• Get on my favorite MMO. Defeat my enemies. And stand on a pile of their skulls!
But 1st, take the dogs out to go potty.
and here all i do is paint warhammer 40k figurines. still fun to watch
OMG. Is this what I have been feeling lately?! Thanks for pointing this out!
Currently doing a valorant Cosplay. Great advice, definitely helped me out.
This was actually helpful because I have been in a rut with some of my builds. Honestly I have a model that I started and maybe I should take a break and finish it.
Doing the start small methed is really helping me with my cosplay. This video is super reassuring. Thanks.
I'm not really into cosplay, but I really enjoy your channel. I love your energy, thanks so much.
I honestly needed this. I got burnout for anime expo and that’s coming soon. Now to get back on track!!!!!! Also sewing is my weakness as well
i needed that. awesome video babe. you guys rock!
You are amazing! Talented! Love your videos.
I remember I was watching one of those "interviewing cosplayers at a con" videos and this one girl was cosplaying as Pharah from Overwatch in PJs. The interviewer (very politely) asked her why, and she said she'd been trying to make a "legit" Pharah cosplay with crazy makeup and foam armor but about a month before the con she ended up breaking an important piece. She said she was bummed for a while but ended up deciding to do a low effort cosplay and had a great time anyway
ffxiv: Shadow Bringers hype is SO REAL!
Paladin for life!
@@therebel1375 Heck yeah!!!
