Living Vicariously through my favorite fantasies
Who am i and why cosplay
The name I chose to go by is ClockworkAngel and before you ask no it’s not based off of the musicians but it originated from a book title from the Shadowhunters series. Though it may have taken me many years to actually learn what cosplay was I was always favoring the arts and mythical worlds. Since childhood I spent all my free time painting, drawing, or creating made up stories in my that took place in which ever world I was currently immersing myself in. During college I started watching anime and began a project build that led me into the world of cosplay. In March 2019 I went to my first convention and whole world changed. I took a shot in the dark and started to post publicly about my interests and builds and progress and it led me here, to the most supportive loving world I could possibly be in. I’ve come so far so shortly and I can not wait to continue to grow.
It is all of you that helped me become confident in what I do and make me feel welcome to share it with the world. Let’s see where this journey takes us.
What do i Do?
working hard to reach a dream
How do I spend my time? I am working to fulfill my dreams as and artist and streamer in many ways. During the day I work in my office building new cosplays, building props, and working on digital art and painting or commissions. It is not always easy and many of my steps along the way fail but I am learning more and more everyday. I stream on twitch every Monday through Thursday. I love interacting with everyone and sharing my passions with the world.
Knowledge is power and sharing is gift
Why share my wips and patterns
Have you ever wanted to create something completely obscure that you couldn’t even buy the costume online or the only reference image you can get is a blurry in game screen shot? Or simply you don’t know where to go or who to trust. I completely understand. I have a knack for choosing less common characters or going away from the original style to create a look that’s all your own. It takes a lot of patience and time to find all the small details of your work and then to pattern it all out is a time consuming nightmare all on its own.
Because I myself have taken plenty of assistance from other cosplayers I wanted to offer mine up for others to use as well. Not all of us have the time to do both ends – research and build, so I am hoping to make it just a little more possible for you too to fulfill your dreams! I hope you enjoy, and please let me know if there is anything you would like to see added.
