This is a 360 degree pictorial of Takaboku Busujima. It was taken at Otakon July 2012 in Baltimore, MD. The theme was Anime/ video games. I am the photographer.
This is a one level rotating image with the ability to zoom in. Go ahead and play with it. See more of my work at my website 2imageSolutions (www.2imagesolutions.com).

This is a 360 degree pictorial Harley Quinn (Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel). It was taken at New York Comic Convention (NYCC) 2011. I am the photographer.

When I was at Otakon one man stopped me and offered to do a 360 degree pictorial, which I'd never heard of. They are quite impressive because you can see all sides of a costume instead of just the angle the camera happens to hit. It still kind of blows my mind.

Costume: Supergirl, by me

Thank you so much, Eric!

My apologies for being so absent! October has not only been super busy for me work wise, but I have also been VERY sick with the Flu and Pneumonia

BUT here is something cool! At Dragon*con I got to do something interesting, a 360 shoot! You can see the costume in its entirety and zoom in, so that is really cool! Sadly I had already took out my white out contacts since this was later in the day and I was super exhausted. Thats also why I look slightly derpy haha. But enjoy! Hopefully I will do a cool shoot for her soon

....This took forever.
I've never done anything with Speedy, Mas y Menos. And the idea of sandcastles just kinda popped up.
And I have music on it! And speaking of the music, I got the loops from Flashkit
The music does not go as smoothly as I wanted it but...I don't want to mess with it anymore.
Tell me if there is anything wrong with it, I may have missed something.
Anyway, I hope you like it

Best to send off 2007 with a BANG!

Let's welcome this, to be most excellent, 2008 with the World's Mightiest Mortal. Due to time and it's elusiveness, I couldn't animate the characters. However I think it will suffice, and it's a DCstatue, so it works in that sense. Hope everyone has a great New Year's Eve and all the best to a productive and happy 2008!

P.S. You have to yell SHAZAM! (Loud enough so that people near think you are disturbed) and press the lightning bolt button to see the "magic"

always does a bang up job on colors. This time however, he stepped it up a notch and made art interactive! Drop that stress ball, forget all those breathing techniques...now you can spin your favorite Superman 2 villains in your own Phantom Zone! Zod, Ursa, and Non will be cursing your very existence, and may even dislike you more than Kal-El! Just click away on the "Zone" and release that stress!

Thanks again to Andrew, and hope you dig!

Cheers,

Dan

Well, what do you know? I'm alive! And I bring yet another cosplay tutorial!

To be honest, I have a whole bunch that I'm planning to upload very very soon. The only problem is the fact that I haven't taken proper photos of the final result (which I need to organize photoshoots for anyway), not to mention the fact that a lot of these tutorials were techniques I was using for my cosplay competitions. Which I honestly love sharing tips and tricks, but I wanted to keep the costume a surprise until the end. Ah well.

Please expect more from me soon!

Edit: Due to the populatiy of these tutorials (who would have guessed?) I've changed the original format of them to a nice, shinier model~! Hope you enjoy the new interface!

Look, guys! I'm totally keeping my promise to make more tutorials! This is crazy-rad, man! I feel so inspired and proud! BOOHOO

This is the second tutorial in the series! And the quality of the photography is still so dodgy... That's okay, though, at east it's getting done. In this tutorial, we'll be learning how to make a very basic hoop skirt. All in all, it took me about five hours to complete... And I may or may not have been spending most of that time mucking around with my camera, trying to take impressive photos.



Anyway. Please look forward to more tutorials in the future! ^_^ If you have any questions, just ask me in the comments section, and I will endeavor to update the FAQ in my Artist's Comments as I go.

FAQ's

Where did you buy your boning from?

I actually totally lucked out when I found it in a second-hand charity store as I was passing by to get groceries. But you should be able to find some at your sewing and craft store - though if they don't have a wide range or sewing materials, you could always try find something online.

Are you measuring the length of your hoopskirt with the idea of the hose inside will lift it? Such as I have a skirt that's about 38" long, so should the hoopskirt be 40"-45" long to make up the difference?

The length of the hoopskirt (from your waist or wherever it sits comfortably on you) to the ground, or wherever it needs to be, should ideally be measured on you while you're standing in your cosplay's designated shoes. The width of it (how wide you need to cut your fabric in total) depends on how wide your largest hoop has to be.

Keeping this in mind, I'd suggest experimenting with a plain tube around you first to see how bit you need to get the largest hoop, and measuring out the rectangle for it. In this same way, I would recommend drafting a pattern of your skirt first using calico or cheap drill, so that once you wear your hoop skirt and put the skirt over it, you can see how much the hoops will lift your dress, and you can add more fabric on the bottom to make it the proper length. (I sincerely hope I answered this question right...)

Would this method work for an odd shaped skirt such as this flower shaped skirt? [link]

Yes, absolutely! To me, it appears that it's a very slim A-Line hoop skirt, with decreasing widths in hoops towards the bottom. I'd suggest drafting a pattern of the skirt from cheap fabric to take in at the sides so that it fits more snugly around the hoops - if you don't tailor the skirt inwards, it won't do that shape on its own - the fabric will just fall into an A-Line.

What's a petticoat?

A petticoat is a light skirt layered in tulle or soft netting/fabric that is worn over the hoop skirt. The fabric of the tulle layers creates an extra bit of fluff so that it hides the sharp ridges of the boning in the skirt.

Petticoats can also be worn without a hoop skirt to give a regular skirt a fluffier shape, but to achieve the same large bell of a hoop skirt, you would have to wear lots of layers.

Could you do a hoop skirt with the bowing with an already made dress?

You mean make a hoopskirt for an already existing skirt?

Certainly. Just measure the circumference of the skirt and make sure your bottom hoop, the biggers one, is smaller to fit inside it.
