Yeah, funky awesome!

Hey everyone! My name is Lada Lyumos
I`m a cosplayer and designer from Moscow
Thank you for all your questions
even for strange ones
I did my best to answer `em all
as I did...
Also thanks a lot to my Patrons,
Here`s a heart fo ya <3
Thank you very much!
Because without you it would be very
hard for me to make my creations.
You are the big part of all my Art
and I love you with all my heart!
- Lada, how goes your common day?
Funky awesome! *a bit sarcastic*
- Are you self-taught? Your performance is awesome!
Thank you!
If we talk about sewing - yes,
I`m self-taught.
Only about few years ago
I`ve started some sewing courses
where someone teaches me.
If we talk about cosplay
...well... we all here are self-taught
because it`s a hobby, you know.
- Do you earn money with your photos?
*sarcastic* Hmmm...Don`t even know...
*Yes! Link on my Patreon is below*
- How could you be so sweet and beautiful?
*He-he-he* Thank you!
- Lada, how old are you?
23
*lots of despair*
- Would you answer the questions
in Russian or in English?
*poor English knowledge*
In Russian, yeah...
- How long you do Cosplay?
I do Cosplay since 2012.
- When did you start Cosplay?
Tell about your experience?
*pause for....concentration..?*
I start Cosplay in 2012
I`ve met some guys
who went to anime-meetings
and also they did Cosplay.
And I was like "Wow, that`s so cool!
I wanna do it too!"
So in 2012 I conspired with
some of my friends to
take a part in Cosplay-fest
named "Animatsuri".
That`s how I was involved in
all this stuff.
Completely unexpectedly!
Expectedly ))))
So, well, here I am!
- How real is the background
on your pictures?
Actually, we always try to
shoot in some real locations.
Because a real surrounding always
looks better, more natural
and inartificial
than matte paintings or collages.
That`s why we always do our best
to find and choose some real places.
But, of course, if we have any idea
and realize that it will be better to make it
with a matte painting - then
we do this without any hesitation.
According to this,
I do my works with
a very talented photographers,
who obviously can make such things.
So I can start such projects
with no doubts.
And I`m always sure that
I will get the best result from them.
Smthn like this*
If take a look at the percentage
of the photosets with and
without painted background,
you`ll see that the amount
is almost equal.
And pics with a real background
even make up the bulk.
Of course, I strongly love
each of my creations.
Because all my shootings are
not just a hobby, but my responsibility.
And thanks a lot to those people
who take a part in all this!
Without them, it all would be extremely hard.
- Which cosplay is your favorite?
Actually it`s pretty hard
to answer this question.
Because I love all characters
wich I was able to create.
Well... It seems to me
that Shani from Witcher 3
is the favorite. Thing is that
she is connected to a lot of
good critical moments in my life
and in my Cosplay activity.
That`s why...I assume....
Yes. She is the favorite one.
- How do you choose characters
for your Cosplay?
Well as a lot of cosplayers
first of all, I should like the character
And
Also, I look at design
of the costume and the appearance.
It`s very important for me,
to like all that.
Because the most part of my costumes
I do by myself.
Also, I choose characters
from my favorite fandoms
...And
Because I just like
to act like them.
...and...
Maybe that`s just
my little joy.
...And!
Some actors attempts...
...AND!!!
I think I just don`t know where else
I could use it all,
but in Cosplay.
- What makes you to create
so high-quality content?
*party pause*
I just wanna see myself
in some new way.
...And...
And that`s why I wanna
do my best.
- Will you do Morrigan from Dragon Age?
See it in the next episodes!
- What do you like and don`t like
in making costumes?
THE MESS!
After creating costumes -
totally crap. I`m putting Dislike!
Don`t suggest it to anyone.
- And what do you like?
For my whole life, I liked to do something
with my hands.
Those ones.
I just love handcraft
and love to realize that
I did something
by myself with my own hands.
That I did something new.
All my costumes to me
are just like my babies.
- What would you like to
make in the future? Wich cosplays?
*exhausted*
*power-ON*
Well, if you`ve asked me
such a question 3 years ago,
I would be able to answer
more certain.
But for now, I can`t be so sure.
Because I`ve already did
all that I`ve really wanted.
And now I`m making cosplays
and some of my own projects
because of instant desire.
All of a dream-projects
was already made.
And, maybe, someday
something new idea will appear
I will instantly make it!
- How long does shooting take?
And how many hours do you spend
to create one Cosplay?
I can`t tell it all for sure!
Because if I do it all by myself,
then a lot of time is spending for
searching the materials,
searching the locations.
I mean that I can create a costume
for a really long time.
I can start it two years ago
but shooting will be only in a few days.
Yeah, I still have some of the characters
which costumes are still lying somewhere and
and waiting for the finest hour,
just because I`m too lazy to finish it.
It`s just such a process...
Some things you do easy
and fast -
You just thought about them
and it`s all done in the next day!
And something are going
really slow.
They lying there
and waits for a several years!
Well, that`s how I can answer.
- Beans? (sounds like "Baby" in Rus)
Chicks? (sounds like "Baby" in Rus)
- In English the question
sounds like "Beans".
What does it mean?
- Well...beans!
Beans!
- Do you like to ride wild bears
in your Triss cosplay, while
shooting people with fire?
Oh, I wish I could shoot
people with fire in real!
- To whom would you shoot?
To haters!
I would shoot fireballs to
guys who sending me d*ck-pics!
If you, bastard, will send me d*ck-pic
once more, I`ll curse you
till the next generations!
Got it?
- How is it feels to make
a Nude photos? And what moves you
to make such content?
What do I feel making
a naked photoshoot?
Hm...I think a feel hunger...
- Do you hide behind make-up?
Do you find yourself beautiful?
Yeah, I think I`m beautiful without makeup.
I feel pretty good without it.
Make-up to me is just a way
to make something new on my face.
To look at me from the other side
But it definitely not a way
to hide behind a mask.
By no means, I don't think I'm ugly.
And if you are dying to see me
without any makeup,
you should more carefully follow stories
in my Instagram! *link below*
- Have you ever tried cosmetic surgery?
Tell about your experience?
They've frazzled me out!
*the most confident mode*
YES!
Yes, I`ve used to have plastic surgery!
It was breast surgery.
I`ve made it in July the 1st.
So, haters will say "Photoshop!",
But, no!
Why didn`t I told abt it before?
And didn`t text abt it anywhere?
Well, I`ve thought, those smart ones
will notice and realize it by themselves.
But if you`re not smart enough,
I wish you luck *sarcastic*.
According to my experience,
everything went quite well.
The recovery period was pretty short.
Also, I`ve had a pretty skilled surgeon.
So my experience was very good.
Girls, if you need any links - just text me!
- How did you gain body confidence?
Before or after you started to work as a model?
Certainly, the "body confidence"...
Certainly, I`ve started to love my body
after I started my carrier as a Nu-model.
You start to feel and understand
your body as it is.
Also, shootings motivate you to
be always in tension and become better.
Now I have a total understanding
that even if my body isn`t perfect,
this one is mine and I will never have the other.
So I should accept and love it.
And then, possibly, other people
will place the same attitude with me.
- What is your biggest dream?
- Or what is your dream of a lifetime?
To be honest...
My biggest dream is to increase
in design and tailoring.
Because this is my lifework.
And I`ve found myself in it.
In the future, I see myself as a designer.
Maybe even famous!
Well...It`s all in hands of fortune.
So, my biggest dream is to become
a fine master of my craft.
And to learn something new.
Well, something like that.
I wanna thanks everyone
who managed to watch this video till the end,
to the ones who asked their questions.
Just a bunch of people knows
that it`s very hard for me to talk on the record.
It`s all totally out of my comfort zone.
I just wanna say that...
The team and I plan to release more video content:
Such as video-cosplay,
some small blogs and talking videos,
to make video-backstages.
So, if you want it all to become real
as soon as possible
- then follow me at my Patreon
And as soon as we gain 500 Patrons
it all will become real!
Thank you once more!
Bye-bye!
