I see there's been another influx from Twitter, so I'll introduce myself again!

I'm Leah (she/they) aka AllWorkNoCosplay. I love SFF, TTRPGs, and lots of other initials you can ask me about. I cosplay from Critical Role, D20, D&Dads, and many others. Welcome!

A person in a long lavender wig stands at a slight angle with the fingers of one hand touching their temple and cheek and the other held out at chest height slightly bent. She has a look of concern and concentration on her face. She wears a light blue dress with ruched sleeves, a white vest with four brown buttons, a yellow neckerchief, and brown gloves that are fingerless at the thumb and pinky. A circular swirling lens effect surrounds them, reflecting little pieces of their person.

An underrated benefit of being truly overwhelmed by life for like a month and a half is that sometimes you completely miss that a favorite band has dropped a new album

Anyway, having a really good time with Autoheart's new album

Ipomoea is glancing down at the iridescent star between her hands, bright and sparkly. She is sitting over a crescent moon frame, her long gown draping over a night sky with more stars hanging from the frame. The bottom frame has iridescent colours and it is decorated with star drops (a fictional flower with four white petals that resemble stars).

I started a new job this past week and I haven't even gotten my first paycheck yet but the urge to commission art this morning is SO STRONG

Calcifer!

I messed up my own pattern a bit 😅 But I'm still pretty happy with him!

Only took me a full two and a half hours to realize I was wearing my shirt inside-out this morning. Guess it's that kind of Monday. Really glad I didn't have any Zoom meetings today!!! 🙃

🌷All Work No Cosplay🌷(Leah) @allworknocosplay.bsky.social · Jun 30

Time to spin my little threads and try to forget about The Horrors™️ for an hour or so

(I had a gift card leftover from the holidays and almost all of it went to embroidery floss so I can make more little Ghibli guys)

A truly obscene pile of DMC embroidery floss in so many colors sits in front of an empty case, probably soon to be full.

I am planning an Olethra cosplay and I am so excited! I knew I wanted to cosplay her the first time I saw the art! 😍

Been in a cross stitch mood this week so I converted some quilting patterns I'd sketched out for a Studio Ghibli quilt into cross stitch patterns using FlossCross (my new favorite discovery!)

So here's a Jiji! #kikisdeliveryservice #studioghibli #crossstitch

Thank you!! Sourcing the different colors was definitely challenging, especially because I limited myself to what I already had in my thread stash! Definitely had to do some simplification of the colors from the original pattern for the sake of keeping the project reasonable haha

My reference for this outfit came from franfinedatabase.com, which is basically a cosplayer's dream

Sometimes your Monday is already off to a bad start so your roommate challenges you to draw your D&D character in one of Fran's outfits from The Nanny. The world still sucks but morale has somewhat improved

It's been a hot minute since I've done any cross stitching but I've been playing a lot of @fieldsofmistria.bsky.social lately and the cows are so darn cute I knew I had to try to make one.

Pattern is adapted from this one: kandipad.com/pattern/pink...

Sorry I just straight up disappeared for a couple months!

Anyway, here's what I've been working on (and finished!) lately. My Allura Vysoren redesign is all done!

A floor length cerulean dress on a red dress form. It has a split skirt with a gold underskirt beneath, balloon sleeves striped with a paisley blue and gold material and long bell sleeves below that.

She wears a blue body suit and face paint, a bobber dark blue wig, a dark green capelet, long ivory sleeves with pink embellishments, and curving dark blue horns. She holds a pink floral fan in her hand and her chin is tilted up, looking thoughtful.

She wears a long-sleeved white wrap dress, a long white wig, and two draping bits of fabric over their shoulders that taper from light blue to dark, almost black-blue. Their skin is painted a shimmering light blue, and they look down and to the right, as if gazing down benevolently on their followers.

Happy Critical Role C3 finale day!

I'm about a dozen eps behind so I won't be able to watch tonight, but I'm sure it'll be an emotional rollercoaster!

A cosplay photograph of the character Imogen Temult from Critical Role. Leah has one hand to her temple and the other stretched out in front of her with an intense expression on their face. They wear a long lavender wig, a yellow neckerchief, a light blue dress, an ivory vest with iridescent brownish buttons, and brown faux-leather gloves with the thumb and pinky cut out. There is a reddish light over half her face and a lens effect has been used to reflect many versions of her in a circle around the edge of the frame.

Started to draft a "here's a [x] cosplay for your Monday" only to very quickly realize it's for sure not. And I can't even blame not working yesterday because I definitely did.

Anyway, here's a Cassandra de Rolo cosplay for your whatever-day-it-is!
