Happy 2025! I spent the first day of this new year getting something done that I had pending since April 2024, hahaha. Here's the full interview I had with Inbox13 by Canal Trece Colombia about my work as a cosplayer, subtitled in English!
I thought of many ways to celebrate the fact that, as of last October, I've been doing cosplay for 10 years. After finally having the chance of watching "Mononoke: Phantom in the Rain," it became clear to me that Kusuriuri, my most beloved cosplay, was the correct choice. Although I made him three years into my cosplay journey, he somehow summarises everything I love about this hobby.

I intend to make the new Kusuriuri for next year. It'll be lovely to have them together.
I have new profile pics!
The drawing is for my creations accounts (AO3, Tumblr and Bluesky) and the photo for my cosplay accounts (Facebook, Instagram and TikTok).
The original sketch of the drawing was made years ago by my BFF Lini, who used as reference a photo from the first professional photoshoot I had with my cosplay of Kusuriuri.
The photo is a selfie I took while preparing my (failed) submission to DigiKomi 2021.
Now, I'm ready for the worldwide release via Netflix of "Mononoke: Phantom in the Rain"!

The first trailer of the Mononoke movie dropped a few days ago, allowing us to see Kusuriuri's new design. I didn't think I could love this man more than I already did, but here we are! I'm praying I can watch the movie on theatres.
I'm considering making the whole cosplay, we'll see. In the meantime, have this take on the new make-up.

Happy 23th anniversary, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask! This game introduced me to the series and it remains my favourite. The world of Termina is just so intriguing!
