I usually don't do entries but...

I've been fascinated with two things right now:

-Attack on Titan
-Overseer & Sentinel

I've recently been paying much attention to Gaia's manga lately and I'm a tad late, I know. But I've read some manga in the past, yet I wasn't as obsessed with it until now. Same goes with anime and manga in general, I used to just watch or read the damn thing, now I'm completely interested about knowing the plotting, artists, dedication, and just everything behind the scenes.

I think it's because I've been admiring people who make (good) AMVs and MMVs. I started appreciating the work put into a single picture, and also a few seconds of an animated bit. It all started when someone told me that "There is an average of 25 pictures per second in an animation," which completely blew my mind. I spend so much time making one picture.

Anyway, I was first introduced to the Overseer & Sentinel when there was this whole game going on in Gaia where you have to choose which side you want to be on. I chose the Overseer, and yes, I still own my Potatoverseer item.

Yet ever since I laid eyes on them, I was like... I want to be them for Halloween o:

And then through the course of time through my embarrassing life, I learned about cosplay.

So now, I think I might cosplay Overseer & Sentinel in the future, I'd really like to. I feel so inspired to do so, that if I were to cosplay them, I would work really hard on it. I've never done any props (resin, casting, clay, fiber glass, wonder flex, etc..) in my cosplaying hobbies, but for this, I'd surely try.

Right now I'm focused on cosplaying Annie Leonhardt, from Attack on Titan. I'm buying the wig, contacts, jacket, and harness online. Specifically the harness, it's far too complex for my little brain to handle, to even attempt to make it. I thought of altering a tan jacket of mine that would be perfect, but it doesn't have front pockets or a collar, and it would be really difficult to find faux leather in the same color. I dare not make the box & sword props, for I don't have that much money.

But yeah.
