So I am doing a sort of Loki cosplay in the near future and I need ideas! I found this ADORABLE dress on etsy ( www.etsy.com/listing/105492721… ) and I am pretty sure that I am going to purchase it. I'm going to add some crinoline underneath the skirt portion and I am going to put a shirt like this underneath the top portion: www.mlo.me/upen/l/201206/20120… .

I NEED IDEAS! I want to add a hat of some sort that resembles Loki's own horned helmet, but I don't really want to wear something exactly like his... Something not so harsh, as I am going for a more lolita look. Any suggestions? Also, what color crinoline should I get? I am thinking black, but do you think that green or golden would look better? Let me know! Also, shoes are needed as well. I am pretty sure I am going to try and find some black boots, but let me know if you have other ideas ^u^ Accessories are also a must, though I have no idea what to use for that either xD

ALSO!

I am looking to get some commissions! I have already commissioned the lovely koleniko707 to draw my TF2 pyro OC, Izaak, but I am looking for more! I am mostly looking to commission people who are willing to draw TF2 OCs, but I have a few others that don't belong to any universe that I would love to have drawn as well. Working without a reference is a must (for the most part), though I can provide descriptions and other such sort of reference pictures to help (with hair style and body type, etc.). I am not looking to spend over $30, though I would love full body sketches with a quick coloring job. Doesn't have to be anything too fancy. If you think your work is pretty snazzy or know of someone who is looking to get commissioned, then let me know!

Thanks for the help, I greatly appreciate it

Thank you, everyone, so much for all the lovely birthday messages! Seeing them really made my day =w=
I hope you all know that even though I don't get on here as often as I'd like, I still consider you all some of my very good friends and love each and every one of you <3

On a side note, I have been doing some more writing yet I haven't been pleased with all of it, so I haven't been posting much lately. I upload a story every now and again to my tumblr though if anyone is interested. For those that are also interested, I have been doing a TON of RP recently and if anyone would like to RP with me, I am always up for it I have TF2 OCs, Skyrim OCs, a Bioshock OC, historical setting OCs, and several fantasy world ones. Even a few that are set in our world and are (relatively) normal. So yes, I will do any and all RPs xD

I've been trying to work on some more cosplay lately and I think my next ones are going to include Pumkin from Baman and Piderman and possibly Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club, Ivy Pepper from Lackadaisy, or a Splicer from Bioshock. Also, my brother has shown interest in cosplaying as Minecraft Steve for Halloween, so I might make a Minecraft Zombie costume to go with his.

In other news, I got a new computer! I have many more steam games I can play (and old ones I can play better) including: Portal 2, TF2, L4D (1-2), and Champions Online (though I am still getting used to that one). And of course, as I stated in my last journal: MINECRAFT!

Well, that's about the only news I have for now. Love you all most and most and, once again, thanks for the warm wishes <3

Love, Bethany

Yeah, so I play Minecraft now, for those that don't know... If any of you have a server or whatever, lemme know and maybe we can play sometime~

AAAAAANYway... It doesn't look like I'll be able to attend any conventions this year, unfortunately. Money has just been too tight and I haven't really been working on any new cosplays because of that. Once August hits though, I'd like to try working on my Splicer cosplay again. Possibly my Medic cosplay as well... and my Harley Quinn, if I EVER get that one finished :T

I've been really into Steampunk and Lolita style lately and I've gotten my mom into Steampunk as well. She's already made several little hairclips and knickknacks and if I ever get off my lazy bum, I will try to make some things as well. I've been collecting steampunk accessories and jewelry more than anything else right now xD

Just a heads up for my friends that talk to me outside of DA: I will be really busy the next week or so, due to family being at my house. I can get online and text on occasion, but that will probably occur late at night when they are all asleep. So sorry, my lovelies. Also, having just acquired Uncharted 3 might make me a little busy as well ahaha lD

Another heads up to everyone! I am getting a new computer in late July! Soooooo, once I do, I am going to try to stream more often. Most likely movies/television shows and games. I hope to get Portal 2, TF2, Left 4 Dead 1-2, and several other games (might try to get some scary games as well, we'll see). So I can get on and play more often if that happens! For those of you that have been asking to play, I can finally do so now YAY xD

Alrighty, well, that's about all I have to say... And yes, I know, I have not published anything worthwhile in awhile... shutupIwillgettothateventuallyIpromise.

Much love,
Bethany

Hello, internets~ So I am putting my feature list on hold for the time being (notbecauseI'mlazynope), because I have important announcements to make! First off, I have a special house project that I will be debuting soon! I hope to have it mostly done within the next few weeks ^u^ Some of you know what this is, but I am going to try and keep it a secret for the time being. I can't wait to post pictures once it is done 8D

Also, I would like to once again advertise the lovely RP site that my dear Lativer created awhile ago. She wants to try and revive the site, as it died due to a series of unfortunate events. So I will be sending out some invites soon to some people that I believe might enjoy it! If you don't like to RP though, no worries! You can still come and support the group! Make some characters within the universe and draw artwork of it, just come to chat and hang out, make friends, whatever! We just need more members in our group! I love to meet new people and though I may not be able to stay in contact with everyone all the time, I certainly try. If any of you have any questions, feel free to ask Lativer or I! I wrote the description for the site and the basic universe (which you can read here: LusheetaLaputa.deviantart.com/… ) and if you would like to see who are members currently are and see examples of the characters already in that universe, visit our DA group page (which you can view here: project-aerial.deviantart.com/ ). Links to the site itself and the chatbox are on the DA page. BE ADVISED: This website IS for mature audiences only! There is extreme violence, language, and other such mature content. If you are squeamish about such things, then we ask that you not join. However, if I send an invite and you decline, please don't feel guilty. I completely understand if you wish to not join. We just want this to be a fun RP forum where friends can hang out and have a good time. We are always working on the main storyline and I would like to try and write a lengthier version of my description soon (along with a detailed explanation of the virus).

Alright, that's all I have to say on the matter, so TA-TA FOR NOW!

:UPDATE NUMBAH 2:

Had a GREAT time at Katsucon 2012! I went with crazyhanyou. She cosplayed as a character from BlazBlu and I brought along my RED Engie cosplay. The photoshoot went well, though it was VERY small. I had fun anyway~ It was nice seeing :devLitheFider: again and I loved meeting catbountry and the other cosplayers~ I also got to see chocolatesmybff and VampricHayles again! That was such a treat! ^u^ I bought some great stuff at the con and will try to post pics of that on my tumblr soon! Also, since I was at the photoshoot, I didn't get any pictures of myself or any of the other TF2 cosplayers so I will try to either upload those or post links to those soon!

-----------------

I feel that I don't ever have anything of value to say on these journals, so I would like to try something different. I am going to do some features, but they are going to be a little different than normal features. I am going to choose these and give them to some artists that I think deserve it. I don't care if they are popular or not, if I think their work has merit, I am going to feature them. You might not think that their work is that great, but I personally do. I might just feature the person if they are nice and I like them as a person. It is all my own preference. Anyway, I think that all the people I list here are excellent artists, writers, or just great people. Check em out! If you know of someone that I should feature and think deserves recognition, let me know! Even if it is yourself! I don't care, just be humble about it and I will consider you~ Tell me why you think said person should be featured and what your favorite works by them are. Also, if I do not feature you or someone you know, please don't be offended. I may have them on a list of people that I will EVENTUALLY feature, as I will only do a few at a time. Or, perhaps I just don't think that said person is worthy of a feature. Like I said, this is my own preference. I'm sorry if this upsets you. Now, without further adieu... THE LIST STARTS HERE AND NOW:

Lativer: I have featured Lativer before and I tend to quite a bit. The reason being is because, not only is she one of my best friends, but also an incredibly talented artist. Not to mention that she is super nice~ I love her pen drawings and I think that you will too if you check out her works. She has an older account with great works as well, plus an RP account with some of her works too. Check her out sometime for some great traditional and digital art, mainly focusing on her OCs and TF2 art. I love her ideas and characters with a fiery passion and I know you will too

argent-ninja: Another one of my best friends, argent-ninja is a very talented traditional artist. I have known her almost all of my life and I consider her a sister and a member of my family. She's been an artist as long as I've known her and her works are simply marvelous. She doesn't get on a whole bunch, or post many works, but when she does, they are worth seeing. I'm sure she'd appreciate a nice comment on her work, as she doesn't get a whole lot of traffic on her page~

Banished-Dreams: This girl right here is one VERY incredibly talented pixel-artist, as well as a great friend. As well as a great traditional and digital artist~ I simply adore her work, and yes... It is mostly because she is drawing a comic with my characters in it XD However, her work really is amazing and I encourage you to check out her art. I believe that she is doing some pixel art commissions at the moment (Though I'm not incredibly sure), so you should hit her up with a commission sometime!

TechniRainbow: I absolutely adore how Techni shades and textures her art. She draws mostly in digital and her ideas and characters are just so original and well thought out. Her colors are fun and are so easy on the eyes, I could look at her artwork all day! Not to mention that she's a great friend of mine~

MadameDove: I loooove MadameDove's artwork as well as her written works. I would highly suggest you check her out sometime! Her characters are some of the most well thought out and interesting I have ever come across and her drawings are so full of life and color. Not to mention that she is an incredibly talented writer with stories that I can never seem to put down! I'm sure you'll love her just as much as I do~

boombaby1918: This girl right here has one amazingly creative mind. I am constantly astounded by her story ideas as well as her character's backstories. You won't be disappointed by her eye-catching art work, whether it be traditional or digital. Though I must say that I am partial to her traditional art~ Go check her stuff out if you want to be as intrigued as I am by her plethora of interesting characters~

xAri-chan: This girl is a total sweetheart~ Not only is she always there to provide a sweet word, but she's an excellent artist as well! Her traditional art is astounding and I really think she is on her way to something mind-blowing. Do NOT miss the chance on checking out her works. She is also very talented with a colored pencil~

koleniko707: Though she doesn't get on much anymore, I am still going to feature her, as I think she should be recognized more on DA. Kole was one of my very first friends here on DA and she is an INCREDIBLE artist, as well as a very talented and innovative cosplayer. You won't regret checking her DA out, though she sadly doesn't post as much as she used to. HOPEFULLY I can get her to come back soon so that she can show the world how wonderful she is~

KingGiantess You are crazy if you don't want to check out Blowtorch's stuff. This is one amazingly gifted artist right here. Not to mention an awesome cosplayer! She is so sweet and I have so much fun looking through her drawings. I am partial to her dragons and creature art, but her character artwork is fantastic as well~

ourmaskoflies: I love Zombielover's traditional art. Her coloring always makes me smile and I love how she draws people; so long and lanky~ I've always been partial to that kind of drawing style. Her characters are very fun~ I also love how she draws hair and clothing. Check her out sometime!

the-flower-cat: FlowerCat's drawings are absolutely awesome. I looooove how she draws faces. They look so natural and I feel like it makes them more real. Another great hair drawer as well! I also really admire how she draws noses. Not to mention that her characters are fun and realistic. Don't miss this great traditional artist~

Oomsda: I have known Oomsda for awhile now and I still wish I had gotten the chance to really talk with her at Otakon two years ago. She is one very talented artist and I adore how she draws humans, or human-esque creatures. Also a very accomplished cosplayer as well as a nice person~ Her artwork reminds me of something from an old folk tale book or something that you would see in a medieval story. Love her stuff~

Quetzil: My very first friend on DA, as well as one brilliant artist! Her work is just so much fun to look through! Her colors are so deep and vibrant and her lines are so crisp and neat. Everything is just presented so well and she works great with perspective. She hopes to be a manga-ka one day, and I hope she achieves that dream! She certainly has the talent~

Mags98033: Mags has been my friend for a long time now and I wish we could talk more... We tend to catch each other at the worst times She is a great digital artist and her work has always reminded me of something I would see in a web comic. That's a compliment, by the way, as I love web comics~ She has some very interesting characters, as well as a fun and creative drawing style. Check her out~

Prota-Girl: This girl is one of my favorite cosplayers~ Not only is her cosplay simply AMAZING, but she always seems to have fun with it! I really admire that. I have known her for a long time, though we haven't talked in forever... However, I follow her on tumblr and I love seeing her crazy cosplay antics. They make me laugh every time~ Though, silliness aside, she really is very talented. Her Fem-Creeper cosplayer is so amazing and fun and her Hanna is Not a Boy's Name cosplays are great too (Though I love all her cosplays lol)). Check her out!

That's it for now, there will be more to come! SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED!
