The Reclamation Photoshoot was a success

Have you ever had a moment where the things you imagined turned out exactly how you expected?  I mean damn, this was a great shoot...cold as hell, but a great shoot.  I had a little trouble finding a location, but we ended up going with Third and Stewart Parking, in Downtown Seattle, which turned out …

Gearing up for ECCC

So, I have plans to attend Emerald City Comic Con this year, and have been slowly trying to work my way on this year's schedule.  It appears that there's a waiting list, which is a nice look for Seattle.  I never knew that ECCC was the 3rd largest convention in the country....being from Seattle, I …

Last installment of the cosplay costume (the pants)…complete!!!

Here is a glimpse of the finished design for Layna's pants.  Great work by Nune Hov.  After several fittings, and adjustments, it finally came together.  Overall very fluid process, especially since the designer and model lived near each other, and could meet for several fittings.  Great job everyone.

Hiring a Cosplay model

Hello all.  Got a lot a plans in the wake to further promote Reclamation.  Back in October, at PacCon Spokane, met a cool model by the name of Spaceydoll who I thought could be a great model for the character Layna.  She had the height (5'10"), a decent build, but most of all, she actually "looked" …
