Hi there. I hope you're taking care of yourself this week! Please excuse all the green paint on my hands in this video. I've been painting a lot and sometimes it's hard to get all of it off. Heehee. 🎨

[@lasarith2]

See Wandering witch, the journey of elaina 🙂

[@CosplayKitchen]

Never ceases to amaze me how well you can transform yourself. Sometime a cosplayer will always look like themselves and then others, like yourself, manage to truly transform.

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thank you! 💜

[@Krolshi]

I never thought of using pigmented shades as an undertone for white brows. It just really looks a whole lot nicer and natural 🤍

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thank you! I'm glad you liked that!

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Incredible transformation, you look totally different. Usually I prefer no music when people talk because it tends to drown out their voice ( I am a little hard of hearing) but your voice was crystal clear and I really liked the music and the sound of frogs.

[@GraceWillow]

Oh my gosh thank you!! I’m so happy you liked it!!

[@kingkardboard7531]

Omg that natural look with all your freckles, you look so beautiful!! And the costume looks amazing 😊

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thanks so much!

[@SuperMatRX7]

I don't think it will ever fail to impress me how far-reaching your artistic talent and skill is. You're damned-near unrecognisable! Incredible work, well done!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much!!

[@mackenziebailey8655]

Your new video style is absolutely perfect! It's almost like watching a magical ASMR video! I can't wait to see/hear more of your stories and original characters

[@GraceWillow]

Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like them!

[@JimboTMX]

Your videos are so comforting!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you Jimbo!

[@tikishark1]

What a wonderful character. Beautiful and mysterious!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you John!

[@taylors930]

i love her! she looks so beautiful and mischievous!!! btw your natural eyes are so pretty ❤️🥺

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thank you Taylor! I'm happy you like her ❤️❤️❤️

[@3DSTakemaruEX]

Excellent work!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you!

[@bluexblondebaby]

You’re always so stunning 😍

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thank you Izzy!

[@LOTRification]

So beautiful!! I'd love to see more of her backstory! What made her never forgive and how did our roguish little snake friend meet her?? Love it!! 💖

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much Alexandra!! You'll find out soon!! Heeheehee

[@LOTRification]

@@GraceWillow ohoho I am excited!!! ☺

[@holdthatghost216]

Awesome outfit! Look forward to what you're doing with her. I have to know what the heck that thing was you used to put in your contacts! I have such problems putting in contacts by hand.

[@GraceWillow]

Hold That Ghost Thank you!! And I’m not sure what it’s called either but it came with the contacts (they’re from Unisqo) It’s the first time I used it and it was really handy!

[@andycervantes1586]

Huba huba🙂 looks great.

[@GraceWillow]

LOL TANKS ANDY!

[@CherryDarling2517]

It wasn’t until this video that I realized just how prominent your freckles are, how the fuck have I missed that over the years 😂 i love this character. I may have some gems for her!

[@GraceWillow]

Hahahaha thank you!!

[@lafeil]

When things get back to normal, you go to costumes college in future featuring this character.

[@xionian]

I love it

[@findingmovement5824]

Woah! looks great!!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much!

[@firebird8600]

Darn KZbin... gave me a notification for this video yesterday while I was at work, and then I couldn't find it in my notifications because I only went back 4 days when I was looking

[@firebird8600]

Wonderful original Character!!💛🖤

[@hollyneal355]

Thanks Grace! Hope to see a collaboration with @christinemcconnell some day! 💜

[@GraceWillow]

Hi Holly! AHHH! That would be a dream!!!!

[@norivia1778]

Ohhh this look is so beautiful Grace!! ♥ I am curious as to whether or not you will still be making cosplay specific content, or what your story is behind the re-branding ♥ I love your videos so much, they always help to calm me down.

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thank you so much Norivia! I'm still making costumes--but they'll mostly be original designs unless something comes up that I REALLY want to make. Long story short--I've been wanting to switch directions since late last year and I finally decided to do it! If you'd like to know more, I made a community post about it here on KZbin. 💖

[@beckymurphy4714]

What a fun costume! I'd go broke in Spirit Halloween...if I wasn't already broke! I wish I could wear makeup - it'd really help with some of my costumes - but I have VERY sensitive skin. I can last maybe 30 minutes before my sinuses plug up and my whole face just...tightens. Contacts are fine (although they don't make them strong enough for my astigmatism) but makeup...nope.

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you Becky! And oh, gosh the temptations in spirit are REAL!!

[@boopmistress1577]

This is beautiful! ♥ What music is playing in the background?

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you so much! I have been using mostly Alexander Nakarada's non-copywrighted music! He's amazing!!

[@boopmistress1577]

@@GraceWillow Oh my gosh thank yoouu!!!! You've just opened up a whole new world of music for me ♥

[@davidmiedema2950]

I hope the APD cutbacks won't affect you...

[@GraceWillow]

Oh, they are lol! Just taking things one day at a time. I hope you're well!

[@GeekyKitsune]

You look so beautiful 😍

[@GraceWillow]

Aw thanks so much!

[@Hawkguy889]

Oehh nice! Quick question, where did your insta go? Did you make a new one?

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you! I'm not on instagram anymore! However I do use the community tab here on KZbin to post.

[@Hawkguy889]

@@GraceWillow Okay good to know! Glad you're well!

[@GraceWillow]

@@Hawkguy889 Aw thank you! I hope you're well too!

[@Hawkguy889]

Im okayyy stop being so sweeeet 💜💜💜

[@stephplusverb]

I know you're a villain, but you look so cute!

[@RvnKnight]

Hey, long time no talk, more on my end though. Just wanted to say hi and I'm proud of the work you are doing and what all you have accomplished since we last spoke (I helped on a paper in 2011 but lost contact sometime after). I'll catch you later, though. --Jon

[@GraceWillow]

RvnKnight Oh my gosh!!! Thank you so much for your help on my paper you’re so kind! Happy you’re here and I hope you’re doing well. Stay staying sane out there and be safe!!!

[@thedreadduck]

Wait..what....Spirit Halloween is open?? Also..nose blush is best blush.

[@GraceWillow]

HECK YEA!! And thank you! I agree lol.

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

???: "SPICY TOSS!" *a Firebolt blows the door down, and in barges The Wizard Of Snark, in his blinged-out coat and dopey red wizard hat, a large repeater-crossbow leveled at Violet the witch* The Wizard Of Snark: "Heeeeeeeeeere's JOHNNY! Tell me, my dear... are you a good witch, or a bad witch? Choose your next witticism carefully... it may be your last."

[@releasethekraken100]

You look very cute as a witch, I think I could visit you for some cookies :)

[@GraceWillow]

Hahaha thank you!! Be careful! Violet may give you ☠ special ☠ cookies!

[@stevendunn264]

Great wig but I miss your red hair. All great witches had red hair.Wig looks good with that makeup.

[@GraceWillow]

Hahahah TRUE! And thank you! I have some characters planned in the future that will have red hair though so don't worry!

[@Oculas2003]

Puts me in mind of a Ghibli character

[@LanaFeyah]

Lesson learned: never cross a witch donning purple!

[@ArmouryTerrain]

I don't like it! The video was as always excellent, the character was well thought out and looks great. I just don't like it! You are a hero Grace, and playing an evil character just, well I don't like it. The whole you are a hero thing aside, this was a really useful makeup tutorial, and the heavy rain added to the overall effect of the video. There were a couple of places your white text was over bright colours and not very clear, but this was few and far between.

[@GraceWillow]

Thanks for your criticism!

[@ArmouryTerrain]

@@GraceWillow I just have to learn to separate the hero you are in your real life, and the characters that you choose to portray.
