Windaria

WELP.  I finally moved out and am now in need of finding new homes for my metric buttload of costumes and cosplay supplies that I will never use or wear again.   That and I'm completely broke from buying new furniture and paying rent and car insurance and car loans and needing food to survive (etc.) so I'm hoping getting rid of some of this stuff will help me get my feet back on the ground!

Here's a link to my Tumblr, where I just put a pair of MASSIVE BLACK WINGS up for sale!  Please take a look and see if you're interested.   ambrosiakrys.tumblr.com/post/3…

If you are interested in any of these items, please shoot me a private message, and we can talk prices and junk!  Apologies in advance if I do not get back to you until next week, as I am currently running out the door for a weekend of camping in the woods. ;___;

Thanks in advance, guys!  I hope you can give my stuff a great new home! <3

DEVIANTWATCHERZ!

Just a little entry to say THANKS to all of you for following, favoriting, commenting, and sending me all those llamas that I have no idea what to do with!  I really do appreciate each and every one of your kind gestures, and they mean the world to me, even if it takes me forever to respond to them all.  Y'all rock!

These days I'm a bit more active on my Facebook Page, where I post a lot of costume plans and goofy things, so please check it out if you're interested in keeping up with what I do!

I also slug around a lot on Tumblr, where I reblog pretty things and cry about movies and and tv shows and the stupid feelings they give me.  So uh, there's that too: ambrosiakrys.tumblr.com/

On the horizon, I'll be at SAN DIEGO COMIC CON next!  It's my absolute favorite con of the year and I can't wait to run around with and and buy exclusives and eat burritos and stalk famous people.  WOOP WOOP.

Thanks again for everything, guys!

I come to you today to call attention to an awesome project that needs your help!

My very best snakefriend , creator of the popular Tokyopop manga series Bizenghast, has started putting the first feet forward on her followup project: an amazing new series known as The Elephant Book. Sadly, Tokyopop closed its doors two years ago and the project was never able to see the light of day.  However, she has been working insanely hard to get the ball rolling on this series, and now it all comes down to a matter of funding and fan support.

So was born a Kickstarter page!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/2…

Please take a look and check out the series!  For every amount you donate, you will receive a ton of goodies in return and get constant updates about the book's progression.  Even if you aren't able to donate at the time, please consider reblogging or posting the link to your Facebook or Twitter feed!  Every little bit helps, and you will be lending a hand to an amazing project by one of the most dedicated and talented folks I know.


And for the record (also since this is my journal and I'LL SAY WHAT I WANT), I've watched Marty work her butt off in the various planning stages of this series for the past few years, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that she's put her whole heart into this project.  It's cleverly written, gorgeously designed, and chock-full of surprises that you are nowhere near prepared for.  You are all in for a real treat. <3

What do you say we update this little journal here?  I think that's a good idea.

So!  Looks like it's 2012, which means I've been officially cosplaying and making crap out of garbage for 10 years.  I will try to be proud of this achievement and not curl into a fetal position under my lab bench.

Katsucon was the first convention of the new year, which flew by like light speed.  Made 5 new costumes for the con, only got to wear 3.  The other two will just have to hang in there until I can find some reason to wear them.  I also joined forces with 15 of my best friends and pulled off the craziest skit we've ever done, a tribute to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.  We won Best in Show and shed a whole lot of nostalgia tears.  It's here if you'd like to watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMqcCH…

The next event I'm going to is PAX East up in Boston.  I'm mostly going to play a bunch of demos and see people and cheer on my BFF in the Hunger Games.  I mean Omegathon.

The following weekend, I will be walking in the Cosplay Fashion Show at the DC Sakura Matsuri.  I will be wearing a sailor hat and carrying a very large flag.

The rest of the year looks like AnimeNext, SDCC (just got my badge!), a brief swing by Otakon, and my third attempt at Dragon*Con.  Then NYCC and AnimeUSA to round out the year.  So basically, same old stomping grounds.

Aside from cosplay/convention hoopla, things are going great on the Krys homefront.  I have an awesome job, two healthy cats who tolerate my excess of affection, a new car that I can haul my friends around in, and a man who loves me more than bacon.

I'm trying to keep this profile updated more often, but if you're interested in keeping up with my current and future costume plans, you can (ugh) OMG LIKE MY FACEBOOK PAGE.  Which is right here: www.facebook.com/pages/Ambrosi…

Or you can see all the ridiculous things I've made over at my profile on ACP: www.acparadise.com/loves/ambro…

I think that's all I have left to talk about.

You're welcome.

I don't make a lot of journal entries but I did want to ask y'all something.  What exactly are the point of prints?  I've been getting a lot of "Joe Schmo requested this deviation as a print" notifications and I'm kind of confused.  Do people uh, REALLY want printed photos of my smelly face in costumes?  Seriously?  What are you going to do, mount them on your wall?  Put them on the fridge?  Or are prints something else entirely that I'm not understanding?  (And do I have to ask $$ for them?  AUGH I AM SO CONFUSED.)

I just really want to know why my photos keep being requested as prints, because it just seems SO WEIRD to me!  I don't know whether to be flattered or freaked out that people I don't know are trying to put my schnoz in a frame in their living room.  I'm warning you, it ain't gonna fit.
