Hello, I am a 66 year old fellow from Canada with no interest in cosplay. I stumbled across one of your videos and after only a moment I was hooked. You, and your husband and dogs, are some of the most entertaining lot I have ever encountered. I have been binge watching your channel for hours. Your enthusiasm for your art is obvious and you are a real joy to watch. Cheers from the left edge of Canada.
The dogs' look at the end: "She's FINALLY gone off the edge..now where's our food, hooman?" 😂 I see your New Year resolution was to be more subtle in advertising your books..😉
I was having a pretty good day already, and then I get this awesome KamuiCosplay tutorial??? Life doesn't get much better than this! Absolutely gorgeous build. I think this might be my favorite so far
I really love the final outcome. Your videos really help me to produce ideas about how to make cosplay versions of weapons and armors which appearance looks very hard to copy irl.
Your videos are a MASSIVE inspiration!! And - not for Cosplay, but for Halloween decorations!!! Amazing ideas, materials, designs, creativity - THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing!!!!! Surprisingly few people use foam and foam clay in the world of Halloween decor, but I think you could create the most stunning, movie-set quality stuff (think Gargoyles with light and smoke, Gothic doorways with skulls, lights, etc - and a million other wonderful things!). Halloween is getting bigger in some parts of Europe, and hey - costumes & Halloween are best pals :-) Remember Halloween is not just "American commercial nonsense" - the roots of Halloween are in Samhain, which was the festval of dead for ancient European Celtic people. And for example in Finland we have "Kekri" - similar day of the dead in October, with costumers and fires to drive away bad evil spirits...So lets make Halloween into "Euroween" and OWN IT. :-) Bless!!!

You don't have to lose heart, Svetlana started with a tiny living space, not much money, no skills and cheap materials. Little steps can build up to something greater than the sum of its parts. Regarding time, even ten minutes of crafting a day, or a few times a week, adds up over time and gives you a finished project to be proud of. I'm slowly working my way through my first cosplay. It's taking me months and I'm making very slow progress but I don't want to give up, I'm just doing it for me. I hope this doesn't come across as me chastising you, I can't know your situation exactly, I just felt from what you've written that I have perhaps been in a similar boat at times and slowly realised that we can all be our own greatest obstacles in exploring the things we want to do. Either way, I hope that you have a good day and eventually do get to enjoy expressing your creativity in this awesome medium!
Very nicely said! Cosplay is not a matter of money. No creative hobby is. You can always find something affordable to start with and work your way up from there. I don‘t know your situation of course but it gets better. Don‘t give up. ❤️
this looks amazing! although please be careful using the vaping device as a smoke machine ;-; they overheat really quickly especially when activated for such long periods at a time and not fully ventilated!! :(
Actually a flail is a weapon that has a spiked head suspended from a long chain. Check out what the Witchking uses in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King film. But truly amazing work regardless!
Omg this is so awesome! I probably watched it like 10 times! I know you usually do armor w/ foam instead of just costumes so I was wondering if you could maybe make an armor set from Breath of the Wild.
Oh my god, it looks gorgeous! Great job ❤ I just bought EVA foam for the first time, and I can't wait to start playing with it! You have been a huge inspiration to me when it comes to cosplaying, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have done. Your tutorials have been a huge help to me!
Hi Svetlana ! Thanks so much for sharing your tips in such amazing videos. Everytime, you're so enthusiastic that it looks so easy and fun to make cosplay. :D I like to play World of Warcraft too, and I am a huge fan of Blackrock Foundry (WoD). So I would dream to craft Black Hand's weapon with light and smoke such like this. *O* Best,
my assumption is that they couldn't use plasti-dip to prime this one because they had translucent LED foam. plasti-dip would defeat the purpose of it being translucent so they used flexbond to help the LEDs stay visible after the paint job
Yowjo Normally the costume she makes takes up to like 6 to 14 weeks and you are I don’t know if your making as complex ones she does but I don’t know so just to say
I know Svetlana don't really cosplay anime characters but I wish you guys could make Raphtalia cosplay from The Rising of the Shield Hero With her armor and sword It'd be so helpful :')
I totally enjoy your smile and videos.....However, I am still waiting for you to do the original Princess Leia of Star Wars !! Perhaps it is to simple and not a challenge, but I think you would look great with the hair buns and the white outfit. I hope you will PLEASE consider it..... thanks...
& then there's a Mace & chain which is essentially a flail on a chain. Either way, i wouldn't wanna be hit by either, especially by Svetlana, Benni or the corgis
Hi, I just found this channel a few days ago and I love it. I really want to get into cosplay, is it involves two of my favorite things: making props and acting the part of a character, but I have no idea where to start, or what to do. My big question is, is there like an unspoken rule about who you can and can not cosplay as at a con? Like, obviously you wouldn't cosplay a Harry Potter character at the Star Wars Celebration, but what about a normal convention? Do you only cosplay characters that you know that the creators have a thing (I can't think of what it's called, sorry) there, or can you do absolutely anyone? Like, for example, would it be acceptable/reasonable to cosplay, say, a Lord of the Rings character if LOTR/Amazon isn't holding an event thing there? Or are cons more like a Show-Off-Your-Work kind of thing, in which case my entire question rant above is invalid? There's a character that I'd really like to cosplay eventually, but he's an obscure character from an obscure book in a once-very-popular series. TL,DR: Are you supposed to play a character that their creator is presenting at the con, or are cons Show-Off-Your-Work kind of events (with the obvious exception of series/genre-specific cons)?
Most cons are totally open and you can cosplay whatever and whoever you want as long as the costume is not blatantly offensive. So don’t worry, just pick your favorite character and have fun! ❤️
I'm just curious, but what does it sound like when you don't voice over the crafting part? I mean, do you tend to scold your stuff for not cooperating? Also, pups need ear pro, too!
OK...lights are cool....smoke is cool....and here I am blown away with cutting bevels at an angle to form the studs. What?
I know right?

Bennie we know this is you...lol
I wish Benni was this enthusiastic lol
Woo
I will
This is nothing short of amazing: you've crossed yet another threshold, from lights to SMOKE?! Very cool. Great video, too. Thanks.
The dogs' look at the end: "She's FINALLY gone off the edge..now where's our food, hooman?" 😂

Wow. KamuiCosplay is probably the coolest chanel on youtube.
I was having a pretty good day already, and then I get this awesome KamuiCosplay tutorial??? Life doesn't get much better than this!
Absolutely gorgeous build. I think this might be my favorite so far
So hyped to see Demonic Brigitte debut! 😍 Such an awesome design & you & Benny are the perfect mastermind duo to bring her to life!
Benni at it again with the paint jobs that I, an artist for a living, could not replicate. Amazing job to the both of you!
i have a feeling i need to buy svetlana's books... i don't know why...
Don't ask me why...don't ask me why
I really love the final outcome. Your videos really help me to produce ideas about how to make cosplay versions of weapons and armors which appearance looks very hard to copy irl.
Your ingenuity with your builds never fails to amaze 😍
❤️❤️❤️ damn why are you so inspiring! This is amazing. I have bought one book and need more!!!!
Ich liebe es 🥰
Hab gerade mit meinem ersten kostüm angefangen bin gespannt wie es rauskommt danke für die grosse Hilfe euch beiden
Macht weiter so
Great Koonga Moonga!!!
That is the coolest thing of all the coolest things ever!
Wow! That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing!

AMAZING! It looks so good it makes me want to cry ... in a good sense 😁

Okay yeah. I guess that is pretty awesome. . . It's not like I was hyped to see this ever since I saw it on your Instagram or anything.
I suddenly have this strange desire to buy her books. Don't know why...
finally!!!! so happy . good job as usual
It's amazing!! 😍
this looks amazing! although please be careful using the vaping device as a smoke machine ;-; they overheat really quickly especially when activated for such long periods at a time and not fully ventilated!! :(
The key to amazing props? Foam Sausages and Kamui's Books!
I was waiting for this!!!
This prop is awesome!
Diese Waffe schaut so crazy cool aus 👌 vorallem der Rauch trägt viel an dem guten aussehen bei 👍
3:57 honestly the funniest part of the video 👏
I wondered where you guys went!!! Missed you!!
Winter break :)
Ahhhh much needed I’m sure !!
You can also use a fan + e-cigarette for the smoke.
As soon as my design is finished, I know which books to get, so I can build my armor. ;)
Actually a flail is a weapon that has a spiked head suspended from a long chain. Check out what the Witchking uses in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King film. But truly amazing work regardless!
Hi, i'm from Cape Verde, i'm starting on creating props and cosplay and I love your works😍👮👏👏
I loveee your work! You are amazingg
Pretty cool!
Great stuff!
Maybe a video on air brushing! seems very daunting but so fun!
Flail really looks KICK-ASS!!! 😎👍
Enjoyed watching this.
This vid's ending. 😂
Omg this is so awesome! I probably watched it like 10 times! I know you usually do armor w/ foam instead of just costumes so I was wondering if you could maybe make an armor set from Breath of the Wild.
i love this cosplayer.. i will be buying her books and she inspires my wife and i to keep improving our skills!!!!
Awesome!
Another fresh and cute video for this amazing and talented girl. Nothing better to start my morning.
Very COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!
You're AWESOME!
Keep attention on your Smoke Maschine. E-Cigs you perss max. 15s for vapeing. Li-Ionen Batteries can Explode when they getting to hot.
Please please please come to London MCM comicon this year! 😁😍 ( Club together for a ticket?!)
So sick 😍😍
oh my god IT'S SO COOL!!!
Damn i knew i forgot something when i went to the bathroom helpful hint around the end of the video.
Oh my god, it looks gorgeous! Great job ❤

Best,
Queen of Sausage foam clay after that one MH armor XD that last annnnndddd clean your... ((no spoilers here))
That's awesome...
You must use special batteries for the smoke machine. Simple batteries can do BOOM and fire show ))
You are so talented and cute!! :)
When using a primer, is it all personal preference or do the ones you use specifically work for a specific kind of prop?
I think they have a video on comparing different primers that goes into pros and cons of each one. ua-cam.com/video/ROZlkW96hFI/v-deo.html
my assumption is that they couldn't use plasti-dip to prime this one because they had translucent LED foam. plasti-dip would defeat the purpose of it being translucent so they used flexbond to help the LEDs stay visible after the paint job
The ad omg 😂 so awesome
nice work
Oooo. Smoke!
SO. HECKIN. COOL.
her camera is so high quality that it almost makes her look 3d animated
Замечательно позитивное видео))
Safety first :D 8:49
paint layering makes the difference.
7:15 and you will both ride to the gates of Val Halla
I need a vid about all setting sprays. Shiny, matt, satin..... ♥
Forget it, I found it in one of your books xD
Wipe your poop! Brilliant work looks wonderful 👍
Why cant I build like that, oh I dont have the books yet hmm :/, I think I need every single book that I can buy, so i can build a costume in 2 days
Yowjo Normally the costume she makes takes up to like 6 to 14 weeks and you are I don’t know if your making as complex ones she does but I don’t know so just to say
@@jill3929 It was sarcasm I even can't make gloves in 1 month xD
You must be a god a gift giving.
can you make a tutorial on how to make a sword sheath out of eva foam?
WOW
I know Svetlana don't really cosplay anime characters but I wish you guys could make Raphtalia cosplay from The Rising of the Shield Hero
With her armor and sword
It'd be so helpful :')
Buy her books!!!!
I love it, but I'm pretty sure this is a mace and not a flail. A flail usually has a chain to attach the handle to the head.
100%
Wow beautiful I want to make a genji sword or a Reinhardt hammer but I'm out of foam
Can you make an reply on how to make it?
I'm surprised you can slide pieces on after applying contact cement. The stuff I use bonds instantly and will not move.
Well not mine :)
Brigitteeeeeee hell yeaaaaah
Are magnets are strong enough to keep upper part of flail , until performance with fast fighting moves for example ? 🤔
I Love Your Channel!!! I hope you see this!!!
Die Axt sieht echt Nice aus 👍
Könntet ihr mal den Schild von Brigitte nachbauen ??? Z.B. aus Plexiglas ...
I totally enjoy your smile and videos.....However, I am still waiting for you to do the original Princess Leia of Star Wars !! Perhaps it is to simple and not a challenge, but I think you would look great with the hair buns and the white outfit. I hope you will PLEASE consider it..... thanks...
Beautiful, and the lights and smoke are killer. But I think its technically a mace, not a flail.
Oh technicalities
& then there's a Mace & chain which is essentially a flail on a chain.
Either way, i wouldn't wanna be hit by either, especially by Svetlana, Benni or the corgis
A great build! Very inspiring! Why is your corgi wearing ear protectors around its neck?
Corgis need ear protection too
Great, even the weapons are starting to vape.
Not even the dogs know what is going on with her at the end of the video.
Their cold wet noses are going "WTF!!!!"
Are you going to do a tutorial for Brigitte armor?
I'm still extremely broke right now. But I promise you, one day, I'll make something like this and bring my dream costume to life.. 😭😭✨✨✨✨🌹
hi kamui can you make a video tutorial of demonic brigitte armor thank you
So I made a giant hammer recently. I put some small dowel rods inside to help keep the handle steady with the hammer head. Is that ok or unnecessary?

@@KamuiCosplay Awesome, thank you very much!!
How about doing a totally original Harry Potter/Star Wars mash-up character like Harrison Ford Potter?
What type/model of motor did you use for the smoke machine?
I'm just curious, but what does it sound like when you don't voice over the crafting part? I mean, do you tend to scold your stuff for not cooperating?
Also, pups need ear pro, too!
I mute it because I have either music or Netflix playing in the background x-)
Is there a tutorial on the big sword in the back?
only on the blog on my website if you scroll back a few years :)
Is it possible to make your own foam clay?
hello :o I have a little question: what kind of glue did you use to fix the magnets? When I use contact cement, they fall off :/
You might try super glue.
What is the best mm thickness for chest armour? 5mm or 10mm??
Wouldn't it be easier to prime with a airbrush? or is the sealant too thick for it?
