Thanks so much to those of you who took the time to vote in my recent poll! It looks like a large majority of you are wanting to see me to finish: *drum roll please.....*

Classic Harley Quinn
AND
Justice League War Wonder Woman!

These are the items I will be needing in order to get photos! Until these items are purchased I won't be able to!

1. Classic Harley Quinn:
-$30 mask
-$52 white jester collar OR $35 for "Hush" Style pointed collar

2. Justice League War Wonder Woman:
-$18 gloves
-$48 belt
-$125 sword

If you're interested anything helps! Whether that's sponsoring the entire cost of an item or something like $10.

I'm also in need of some blue contact lenses for anyone interested in sponsoring the cost of those $25.

__________________________________________________
I'M ALSO OFFERING MINI DIGITAL SETS (12-15 images) OF UNPOSTED IMAGES OF TSUNADE, BOMBSHELL CHEETAH, AND AN UPCOMING SWIM SET!

These are likely going to range from $20-$35 depending on the amount of photos. All of which are high-quality and taken on my Nikon. The swim set might be more depending on image amount for example having a mini set or a larger set.

My Nikon sets include settings that are relevant for the character and are edited for quality this is why they are more compared to some cosplayers that sell sets on a mass scale.

__________________________________________________________

In addition to selling prints, I also offer painting commissions! Here are some examples of my work. (Prices range from $35-$100 currently depending on difficulty and time invested.)

Here are some examples of my traditional artwork!

Prints would be:

$10-$15 for an 8x10 print (depending on type of photo paper)
Digital sets would range from $25-$40 depending on amount of photos.

Send me a note if seriously interested; comment if you have an opinion on which characters you would like to see swim sets for!


HOW DO I ORDER?
I do not have an online store; online stores charge for the listings and the transactions; instead I choose to sell them personally to save myself and the customer extra fees; I take payment through Paypal.

PART 2: Information About My Cosplays/ Why I Need Sponsors

I know that I am by no means a famous cosplayer, but I go hold myself to the same artistic expression and quality. I am writing this journal in an attempt to gain new sponsors, keep previous sponsors interested, and to inform those who are curious about how I go about each new cosplay.

What does this mean?
1. REPRESENTATION: I try to hold true to the look and personality of the character in my photo cosplay portrayals. This includes spending time picking out great settings which can be incredibly difficult if you live in a smaller town.

2. RESEARCH: Due to the above, I invest a lot of time doing research; this means I:

-Spend several hours looking up reference images; including character models and concept art.
-Reading the comic issues or watching the show/film the character is in
-Researching the fabrics/ patterns that I think would suit the character well, but ones that are also durable and comfortable.
-Practicing makeups in which I try to contour and reshape to suit the character naturally and realistically; in addition to changing skin tone and eye color with makeup and lenses.

Spend several hours tracking down the best reference images online of the characters (including character models/ concepts)
Reading the comic issues or watching the episodes they're in (depending on the character origin)
Researching the fabrics/ patterns that I think will not only represent the character well, but will also hold up in terms of comfort and durability.

Spend several hours tracking down the best reference images online of the characters (including character models/ concepts)
Reading the comic issues or watching the episodes they're in (depending on the character origin)
Researching the fabrics/ patterns that I think will not only represent the character well, but will also hold up in terms of comfort and durability.

Spend several hours tracking down the best reference images online of the characters (including character models/ concepts)
Reading the comic issues or watching the episodes they're in (depending on the character origin)
Researching the fabrics/ patterns that I think will not only represent the character well, but will also hold up in terms of comfort and durability.
Practicing several makeup techniques and learning new ones to help contour my features; I use my art minor background for characters that have unique skintones like She-Hulk, Raven, and Starfire to make sure the tones are realistic as they can be.
I love all the characters I cosplay and I want to do a great job representing them as I can to make sure I do them justice!

3. COST: By doing both of the above I end up with totals that are much higher than costumes that can be bought off the rack. (This doesn't mean you need to spend a lot to do a cosplay or that you need to spend a lot for it do be "good", but personally I love doing my best to represent a character and like the challenge of putting it together to see how far I can push my normal appearance toward the character.

The cost is also higher for me personally because my body type doesn't normally allow me to buy things off the rack; I have a spinal curve that I normally have to have things specially fitted for; this and I am pear-shaped. This is why I have to have several items specially made. A seamstress not only charges for making a garment, fitting it to your body type, making custom patterns, the cost of fabric, and labor for time invested.

4. WHY NOT SEW IT YOURSELF?
I used to sew with my grandmother, but when I moved for graduate school I no longer see her as often and do not have the help I need to fit patterns; nor do I have the time to pattern and sew each piece myself while I am working on my degree. Without aid I do not have the skills to make a quality garment that will hold up for several wears. I do however do a lot of applique/ craft work to my items such as with Enchantress in which I completely have redone all the painting; reglued several pieces, and remade several of the pieces including the arm-bands and loincloth.

4. INCOME: I ask for sponsors because I do not hold a steady job; I am a full time graduate student and I do not have the time to devote to keeping my grades high in addition to a part-time job in my area. I depend on the sales of my cosplay prints, original paintings and drawings, and the kindness of sponsors.

Here are some examples of my traditional artwork:
Magical Cat by HarleyTheSirenxoxo

Eternal Stalemate: Victoria Hampton by HarleyTheSirenxoxo

Hellboy: Mike Mignola Inspiration by HarleyTheSirenxoxo

Malachite: I Need You by HarleyTheSirenxoxo

Eye of The Universe: Victoria Hampton by HarleyTheSirenxoxo

Harley Quinn: Insanity by HarleyTheSirenxoxo

FOR MORE EXAMPLES VISIT THE FOLDER IN MY GALLERY FOR TRADITIONAL ARTWORK!!!! I also take commissions for original pieces if you want something specific!

5. WHY HELP?/ REWARDS
In return for sponsorship I do offer several rewards:

Prints: FREE PRINTS for sponsors! Size and amount depends on the amount of funds contributed.
WIP pics: You will be the first to see WIP pics, before they are posted, if you helped sponsor the character.
Fan-signs: IF desired I will write your name on a piece of paper and take a pic with it thanking you for your help!
Tagging: IF desired I will tag you/ credit you in the album or photos of the character you helped with.
Digital Sets: I will send you any images that are not posted; in addition I sometimes do pinup sets of the character.

THANK YOU FOR THE CONSIDERATION!!!!

Is There Anyone Out There?

11 min read

If anyone is interested I need to make some print sales; without sales (or general sponsorships) I am sad to say after this years planned character photoshoots are over I won't be working on any new cosplays as I don't have the extra funds to spend; I have made a list below of those I would LOVE to finish for shoots over this year and the next.

I will also be selling cosplays after photoshoots for those interested in purchasing certain cosplays; I always try to recycle funds back in and reuse as many pieces as I can to save money.

I understand that not everyone who faves and watches though can contribute financially, but I ask if you're able and interested in having a print or painting by me that you consider it. I appreciate it!

WHAT PRINTS CAN I GET?
These are the characters I can easily get prints of:

Death (Only in 5x7 inches)
Ariel
Super Sonico Bunny Maid
Hinata
Silk
Black Cat
New 52 Harley Quinn "Tropical Mini Shoot"
Bombshell Batwoman
Bombshell Nurse Harley Quinn
Rockabilly Catwoman

Any other characters/ photoshoots I might have difficulty getting prints of, but be sure to ask because I might always have them on file!

WHAT ARE THE PRICES?
-5x7 sizes are $5 per print
-8x10 sizes are $10 per print
-11x14 sizes are $14 per print

Shipping ranges from $1.75 to $5.75(per envelope; not per print); the cost can exceed $5 if you order more 4 or more 8x10 size prints or if you live overseas.

Prints do not have my logo/ watermark, but will come signed and personalized.

PRINT SALE GOING ON UNTIL MAY 31st.
BUY 4 8x10 size prints get 1 FREE; OR GET 4 5x7 size prints FREE (YOUR CHOICE)
BUY 5 5x7 size prints get 2 FREE
SPONSOR $100 or more toward a cosplay get a FREE PRINT for every $10 you sponsored.

HOW DO I ORDER?
I do not have an online store; online stores charge for the listings and the transactions; instead I choose to sell them personally; I take payment through Paypal. IF you are seriously interested feel free to send me a note to discuss. You can also send me a DM on my Facebook page. www.facebook.com/Harleythesire…

In return for sponsorship I do offer several rewards:

Prints: FREE PRINTS for sponsors! Size and amount depends on the amount of funds contributed.
WIP pics: You will be the first to see WIP pics, before they are posted, if you helped sponsor the character.
Fan-signs: IF desired I will write your name on a piece of paper and take a pic with it thanking you for your help!
Tagging: IF desired I will tag you/ credit you in the album or photos of the character you helped with.
Digital Sets: I will send you any images that are not posted; in addition I sometimes do pinup sets of the character.

THANK YOU FOR THE CONSIDERATION!!!!

If you are interested in SPONSORING/ MAKING A DONATION to a particular cosplay that also helps me out A LOT! Even if you can't right now I appreciate the consideration for the future! Love

Smaller donations are also appreciated! Every $ counts when it comes to funding these pieces!

Depending on the amount sponsored or donated you will receive different levels of rewards such as digital sets, prints, and seeing official photo-shoot photos before they are posted! SEND A NOTE IF SERIOUSLY INTERESTED!
