I Finished My Kokomi Cosplay!

[@TinkerTerror]

This is not a tutorial, this is so you can watch me suffer is such a powerful opening statement

[@SarahSpaceman]

You gotta put the thesis in the first paragraph

[@TheGamingSpartanA113]

I love videos that start with that.

[@Crow9382]

@@SarahSpaceman you gotta hook the readers in the opening paragraph😊

[@f1zz-k1d89]

hi!!! leaving this here for anyone trying linoprinting: if you want a really solid block of color, try to only move the roller one direction when rolling ink onto your stamp. if you go back and forth, you’ll just end up picking the ink back up and while it may look fully covered, you’ll get a patchier appearance when printing. ok love you guys amazing cosplay you’re totally one of my biggest inspirations sarah byeeee!!

[@OhNoitsRhii]

This is so good !! Watching people make genshin costumes instead of buying them makes me think when I (eventually) do Mona I might make her since I've seen a few people do corseted bodysuits (including you!!) And I just love the effect it gives for her so much. I'm just,,, not ready for that stress 😂

[@SarahSpaceman]

Well hopefully it would be less stressful if I post a video about corset making, its not as scary as you might think and i bet you could do it :D

[@OhNoitsRhii]

@@SarahSpaceman I mean if u happened to have a video planned I would be very interested 🥺🥰

[@waffledolphin9251]

Kokomi is my absolute favorite character in Genshin. And I’m so happy to see someone making cosplay and loving her!

[@L4y.li3]

Me to!

[@anonymoustroll2432]

She's a good substitute to Barbara.

[@joannaboney7363]

Anyone wanting to use printing for their cosplay: She is using speedy carve, which is different than linoleum. It is easier to use as it is softer and probably better for printing on fabric. Also, they do in fact make ink for this. Find “block printing ink” for fabric. Speedball has “Fabric Block printing ink.” To properly get ink on your “brayer” (the roller), get a pane of glass like a picture frame glass (it does need to be a fairly large piece of glass for most prints, and if the edges are sharp, cover them with masking tape). This glass is where you will be putting your ink down and rolling it out. Use a ink knife to create a line of ink and roll the ink out. Look up how to coat a brayer with ink for block printing tutorials to learn how to know when you have just the right amount of ink prepared. Speedball ink is easy to wash off the glass. Just use the ink knife to scrape away excess and you can use paper towel and water to remove the rest.

[@himeistrying]

"if you're willing to put in the work you still might end up with something that makes you happy" is such a great message and especially so for newer cosplayers like me. I made my first ever hand-sewn cosplay 2 years ago and my mom thought I was crazy for even attempting it as I hadn't sewn since preschool, but through sheer will, a desire to make it, and a lot of very helpful online tutorials I did end up with something I was really really proud of and it sparked an interest to make more cosplays!

[@wo1fii]

omg the massive effort put into this video is so appreciated i can't believe i didn't discover this video until now 😭😭

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you so much!!

[@SwimmingInSunlight]

As someone who loves kimonos it's kinda funny to see the obi bow hanging at butt level 😂 Overall beautiful costume and tremendous effort with all the stamping and layering!

[@Hinatsu23]

Being able to see your journey on this cosplay is so amazing to see and also so motivating !! The way your videos are always so dynamic, with clear explanations of what you’ve done and why/how, it’s always very nice to just take a moment to watch them

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thanks so much! that means so much it really does!

[@hiinafox]

This was so inspiring honestly. As someone who has a lot of troubles in starting anything i'm not a 100% sure i can finish, you really inspired me in trying🌸 so i think i'll try to make Kokomi's jellyfish!

[@SarahSpaceman]

Aww yay! Thanks so much!

[@Sethos.cosplay]

This was a monster project(for Genshin impact standards…) and you rocked it! My First actual attempt to cosplay aether made me realise that the quality of cosplays either went really bad or I am just not willing to sacrifice my happiness to undone or simply Not well done costumes. So I will have my First real self made costume for yun jin in the early 2023 month. Your Video is encouraging and resembles what many forgot over the past years. Cosplay is not perfection. Cosplay is still a Hobby and for many a relief. It was really fun and relateable to see your process✨

[@_moonette__]

Did you finish your cosplay?

[@Sethos.cosplay]

@@_moonette__ as i wrote i attempted a Genshin impact cosplay and everything went fine but- I choosed a different one that took a lot of tricky steps. At the end I had to cancel the halfway done cosplay. I bought shenhe instead and did stick with my aliexpress yunjin:‘) I am a Little defeated ever since…

[@silver360moon3]

In high school I did a lot of block printing. What we did for the ink was to get a rectangular plexiglass plate and put a glob of ink at the top. We would get a tiny bit on the roller then roll it underneath, continuing to get more and roll until we heard a "sticky" or "clicking" sound while rolling. You also want that sound when rolling onto the block you are printing from. Whether it be one of the rubber ones or corkboard, you want to hear that sound. It means you are getting just enough ink to make it dark but not too much ink that it gets messy

[@SparksArtandCosplay]

Same here in college! Except my professor told me that it should sound like a light shower on the roof and not like heavy rain. And the way that I gagged it was the feel of it.

[@ariira5603]

I really enjoy watching you make this kokomi cosplay it turned out amazing!! I myself really want to get into cosplaying and i am thinking of trying out making lisa from genshin for a con next summer. I am a complete beginner but you have explained so many new and cool techniques that i never thought was possible and i cant wait to try some of them out for myself! i really appreciate the effort you put into this series! thank you!!

[@SarahSpaceman]

That is so so sweet!! And I’m so excited for you to make Lisa, I’m sure it’ll come out great and that you’ll have so much fun being her ❤️

[@dachshunds2676]

even if this is not a tutorial all the general explanations of what certain stitches are meant to do and the explanations of the techniques, as a sewing newb, mean the world to me

[@peculiar_wood]

HIDDEN POCKETS *THIS IS NEXT LEVEL* *EVERY COSPLAY NEEDS SOMETHING LIKE THIS ITS SO FUN TO KNOW YOU JUST HAVE HIDDEN LITTLE THINGS LIKE POCKETS*

[@AnimeLover36902]

I just found you and you now have a forever subscriber! I love that you tried experimenting with lino blocks for your cosplay. Especially because I am a huge relief print fan and it’s one of my favorite art mediums to work with. For someone who claims they don’t quite know what they’re doing and you did amazing. I especially loved that you took a paintbrush to help thin out the paint on your block because I could see that the paint consistency was not quite right, it was too gloopy, and had to be thinned out. You had such an ingenious way to fix your problem! I also want to say thank you, you’ve inspired me to go back into cosplay, and even though I am not the best at sewing. Maybe I can lean on my strengths and try a cosplay and use block printing with it. Who knows but I am definitely excited to try again!😊

[@SarahSpaceman]

This is such a sweet comment thank you so much! I hope you do! Im sure youll create some wonderful cosplays!

[@robyn_birb2990]

Oh my God I am in awe in how you put together your videos- the over explaining is so helpful to a person like me who wants to learn how to make full cosplays on my own someday. This is incredible-

[@Re3al1tyandDr3ams]

I know this isn’t a tutorial, but I’m learning lots by just watching you! Satin stitching, how tights can be made, how you can make pockets, and etc! Keep up the great work!

[@misty6355]

This isn't a tutorial but you include the best visual explanations, information and resources I've seen! Even more so than actual tutorials I've watched on yt ^^"

[@HeyLizardLeigh]

SARAH i was having so much fun watching this, and then I had to absolutely YELL because I also always feel like I'm doing my best imitation of the wavy sponge lady when I'm talking to myself as I film 😆😆😆

[@SarahSpaceman]

We can all only hope to be as Iconic as her lol

[@thiernomalaldiallo6986]

Honestly, I don't know how you got it like that. it's satisfying to see all the stages of production. In addition you take trouble to explain everything you do. Thank you very much for these beautiful videos.

[@bloopypoopie1979]

seeing your entire journey of making this kokomi cosplay come to life was incredible! this is my first time watching your videos but i’m absolutely invested now 🥺🥺💞 and i know people have said this before but when you “overexplain” sewing techniques and what your thought process was like, it really helps break it down for people who have an interest in sewing + cosplay but are too afraid to begin (so thank YOU 😭😭🙆‍♀️💖)

[@em01455]

“Even if it’s got extra toes” is what I needed to hear right now. I’m making a Chrissy Cunningham cosplay and seeing the love, dedication and attention to small sometimes seemingly pointless details is giving me the push I need. I’ve literally put my blood into this thing learning to punch needle patches. Wich has been frustrating since I bought the wrong fabric have made three different iterations trying to get the right shade of yellow/orange and shapes, had the threader break and have sliced my hands to hell and back. I also have had to learn to drape since the “easy hack” for the white section of her vest (cutting a slightly larger t shirt to match then sewing it together” didn’t work with my mahoosive yabbos 🙄. I’ve been taking a break from all that to make the skirt while I watch you videos and can rest easy knowing that even if my hair-brained schemes to cheat the athletic tape at the bottom doesn’t work out I’m still on the right path. I’m sure there’s more lessons I’ll learn but I can feel better knowing that even if I’m poorer in finances from my mistakes I’ll be richer in knowledge because I learned from them. ❤

[@AMBADonfiyah]

guys please , give her more subs that chair arm at the end KILLED ME 🤣 great video , great cosplay. you are super talented and smart and for sure a hard worker .

[@smilelittlecat3465]

wow i love these two videos. you look sooo cute!!! and i love that youve included the "mistakes" you made, it makes me feel so much more comfortable with all the mistakes I am making during my projects.

[@SarahSpaceman]

Tysm! We all make mistakes! And Its important that I show mine so that if anyone follows this as a tutorial, they know where they might mess up too :)

[@Pemaladesi]

Thank you! I really enjoyed seeing how you brought this together. I love your willingness to blend techniques, try new things, and share the journey with your viewers.

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thank you!!

[@MiakuA.L]

I love kokomi so much ! I've been looking for a tutorial for her cosplay since so long ,thank you so much ! Sadly english isn't my main language, so I have difficulties to understand, but it's okay ^^

[@yunivursexe7634]

aaaa I was so excited to see that you uploaded again!!! Watching this whole process really inspired to me try new techniques too, particularly in more elaborate cosplays that I've been to intimidated to try. Overall 10/10, incredible fish content. Also, thank you for introducing me to that rainbow sponge video. I'm utterly obsessed w it.

[@SarahSpaceman]

Oh it is ABSOLUTELY my favorite video on the internet and it has been for years. Also thank you so much!

[@julsdemers4740]

i love how the tail flopped like a fish when thrown onto the table, how perfect!

[@MissLeonable]

You will have sooo much more subscribers. Your videos are the perfect mix of education and entertainment.

[@mii-chin143]

I think it's really fun and interesting to see a true DIY of something that many pro cosplayers would use a printer for, something that most people don't have access to. In today's day and age I feel like making printed patterns, 3D printed weapons etc is the new standard, instead of the old school cut and paste and experimenting with what you got.. So love seeing all your new tecniques!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

I'm only 3 minutes in and I'm already obsessed with your videos! Gurl! This is amazing!

[@syboobali]

These process videos are so cool and informative!! The cosplay came out AMAZING!!

[@AnnChovies]

I’ve been spam watching your channel the past few days, and I have to say that I am super impressed with the amount of time and love you put into the video editing process alone. Your videos are just as good as your cosplays, thanks for all the hard work!

[@zoeboey]

you look amazing wow!!!! i will admit watching you carve the lino out towards yourself was so stressful.. i thought you were gonna cut open your hand omigod - but your cosplay turned out incredible! brilliant job and congrats on 2k

[@Hallogwen1447]

i'm using this to learn how to make patterns and such, they've been so helpfull. and hopefully next year i'll be able to do my first ever homemade cosplay. (i'm gonna suffer, but it'll bve worth it)

[@ViktorErikFade]

I try to find motivational stuff to stay in the cosplay community as someone who can't fit prebuilt /bought cosplay but also can't sew And seeing someone's genuine walkthrough an entire process and not just the highlights is so nice I don't even play genshin impact but this makes me want to ,if only I could because I feel like I'd love these characters designs alone

[@krystal6476]

This cosplay turned out so beautifully!! I loved seeing how you learned new techniques and I hope I can do this too one day!

[@nozomi0258]

You're the most relatable cosplayer ever cuz I'm a fashion designer (student). Im in my 3rd year of college and I learned a lot from your videos that my college couldn't teach the tips and tricks. Thank you for giving so much information and showing us the ways of the cosplay!♥️ You're amazing♥️ and please keep making more videos. It's so fun to watch!♥️💫

[@AFTERH4NAK0]

You just made me think, as a middle schooler and someone who has never even sowed a tiny piece onto fabric, can I do a method like this for a cosplay and give it to my friend to make a TBHK crew in a anime con? but then I rememberd. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY-

[@j4nk3n]

This is an incredible amount of work! I love creative artist endeavours of all kinds, more than earned a sub!

[@sh3name]

As a girl who is handsewing a mitsuri cosplay all these sewing tricks (even overexplained ones) actually help me so much!! I love your videos and cosplays I want to go to a con one day 🥲

[@greggrulzok3570]

I have that same cat fabric!! You got me back into sewing thank you! I didn’t think I could ever make good cosplay but you’ve given me a lot of confidence!

[@kiafen7454]

Got recommended your "Can this Cosplay Win an International Contest?" and now I am binging all of your videos. This 100% brings me back 15 years when I made cosplay for me and my friends (as the only one with a sewing machine and a grandma with sewing knowledge). I haven't thought about cosplay and sewing much in the last few years, and this has made me a bit emotional in remembering the hardships and the big payoff of seeing your hard work cosplay on people. Thank you so much for your efforts in producing these videos! 100% understand the struggle of getting all of the little details right. I hope that your content blows up more and more.

[@UsagiLunnaya]

Love your work, loooks so good!

[@hawuwu-24]

Oh man oh man, I got really excited the moment you dropped that link 😭 I know its not a tutorial but im rly learning new things 👀

[@MikaHyx]

27:03 2k?? And only 2 years ago… Wow you’ve grown a lot with now having 163k 🤩 You really deserve it 🙌

[@veebeelights]

A year ago I initially clicked on this video because I enjoy watching people make things, never having played the game at the time. And now that I have actually played genshin and met Kokomi in game, I understand the character design outfits now.

[@ThetaWindfall]

Love how this turned out, looks more real than the just printed ones.

[@AnnaWillo]

for turning tubes, the hooks are the best imo. never understood why people hate turning tubes so much because I grew up using one

[@charlesstewart6191]

"Lino" or more properly "wood block" printing, actually was originally used for printing fabrics both to directly apply colour to fabric & to apply wax to resist colour (as in the batik process) while dyeing fabric.

[@l1stra_]

i love when you explain different techniques!!

[@L_Aster]

Thank you so much for sharing your pattern! I’d love to make a doll-sized version of the robe :)

[@ireallyhate_peanutbutter]

i feel like making your own cosplay for any genshin character is a test of perseverance and craftsmanship. you passed btw, it looks absolutely gorgeous

[@Saridim]

Loved this journey

[@SarahSpaceman]

Thanks for coming on it with me, I really do appreciate it!!

[@awsum_adri]

I know this video is like a year old, so you prolly won't see this, and someone/many people may have already said this, but if you ever find yourself needing to stamp your fabric again, Speedball does make block printing ink for fabrics, and they also have this stuff called transparent extender base that you can mix into your ink to get that transparency you want/need! I absolutely love your work, and I admire your dedication to taking on these challenging cosplays! (I did a Venti cosplay and I thought that was hard, but this is on a whole 'nother level!)

[@chikushoume]

I was excited to see the rest of this but I was not ready for what I saw. This is amazing! I cannot wait to see the umbrella.

[@fantagemagorical]

Wowow you’re incredible!! The EDITING??? THE CRAFTSMANSHIP?? It turned out so gooooooooodd

[@signalgirl3563]

honestly you took the thoughts out of my head when you talked about the opacity layer cuz when i do any traditional medium my brain is like now we just need opacity and transform... wait... F..

[@ahhh4117]

Ur so powerful for doing so many scallops, like I'm truly impressed by u

[@Strawberries1994]

For the linoleum stamp to look even, you need a spoon 🥄 and with the round part, with circular motions, press on the back of the stamp without lifting very well.. Just a tip if anyone want to do this but get even stamps

[@minako134]

Oh my god I learned that stamp thing back in high school in like 2001!!! Wild to see it come up here for cosplay :D

I love this cosplay so much kokomi is one of my favourite characters in Genshin so I just had to see this finished!

As someone who once attempted to crochet a Kokomi doll a strange amount of this process and accompanying difficulties are relatable.

How do I only come across you now, where have you been. I am making Cosplays in very experimental techniques myself and it's so nice to see how other people approach complicated costumes and what methods they choose. I made Albedo myself and learned so many new things from it.
