View this post on Instagram

Tfw you have to take on the mantle of black panther cuz your brother dissolved into the aether lol. . . Soooooo today I finally was able to wear my personally designed Shuri black panther suit today!! It lights up too, but they’re off for now. I’ll show em later >_< I took a lot of inspiration from the comic book version of her as well as both of T’Challas suits from Civil War and Black Panther ^_^. Swipe left for the sketch!! I may do a side by side once I have better pictures too. I’m legit hyped about it! . . . . I have a lot of people to thank for this! I had a lot of help from friends and supporters and wouldn’t be able to have completed this without their help. . . Huge shoutout to @parallellifestudios and @naythero for this BOMB ASS fabric! It’s screen accurate and looks so legit!! Also big thanks to mah hubby, who installed the lights in the suit (not shown yet). Alsooooo thanks to @warrstrike and @jedibugs for getting these 3d printed pieces right for me to attach to my suit ♥️ . Hair by @danahairislife . . . Ok ok more DragonCon now. . . .

Hubby killed dem lights and they show up amazing through the fabric!! I’m going to do a F. A.Q. video on the suit asap because I’ve gotten a bajillion repeated questions on it so I wanna be able to address them all. . . . . Suit designed and sewn by me. . Textured fabric from @parallellifestudios . . 3d prints by @jedibugs and @warrstrike . .

Well, guess I now I have the strength of the black panther 😉 LOOK AT THIS BOMB AF PHOTO BY @idruthat⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I know people have been going back and forth on how/why Shuri could or could not be the black panther in the next Infinity War movie (at least on my post 😅). Especially considering that the flowers are now gone that technically gives those powers. Personally, I think Shuri is beyond smart enough to either make a suit that can give equivalent strength with tech or nanobots (I mean if Tony can do it she DEFINITELY can do it with Vibranium on top of that). Either that or find a way to use her tech to bring the flowers back lol. I do get that she’s young though and Okoye is a better fighter. So who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️. Shuri was the Black Panther for a while in the comics so anything could be possible. Glad so many have liked my take on her so far!⠀ ⠀ Costume is made by me!! Fabric is from @parallellifestudios ! No I don’t do commissions.⠀ ⠀⠀ #blackpanther #shuri #blackpanthercosplay #cosplaynoir #cosplay #cosplaygirl #shuricosplay #marvel #marvelcosplay #blackcosplay #cosplayofcolor #blackfirlmagic #infinitywar

Back of the suit!! You can kinda see the battery packs for the lights but that’s ok >_< . I’m still in love with this thing lol. If you’re interested in potentially getting my suit yourself, please hit up @parallellifestudios (and let me know). While I designed and sewed this one myself, if we get enough interest we may be able to get a plan to make these on a large scale! . . . New Announcement btw! I’m working with @iheartmediaofficial and helping host their brand new C.A.G.E. Halloween event in ATL at Andretti karting!! It’s October 27th and if you’re interested in going and hanging out, playing laser tag with me, or racing, please check out the link on my profile!! It’s gonna be extra dope AND I’m gonna have a new cosplay for it 🙂 . . .

Messy hotel room selfie to announce MY PATREON IS LIVE………AGAIN lol. And the tutorial for this look is on there too! Link is on my profile. ⠀ ⠀ I had a Patreon years ago, but honestly I didn’t know what I wanted out of it and didn’t really know what to do with it. So I closed it down to let myself kinda just “be” and here it is! There will be extras like unseen photos, access to signed prints and behind the scenes things, but the main thing is TUTORIALS for my Senpai Tier!!! I chose this picture that shows my Shuri makeup because this makeup look is the very first tutorial that I posted! It’s a full video, start to finish and well edited! I’ll be posting one or two a month, and hopefully will have an Akali KDA jacket tutorial up in another week or two. ⠀ ⠀ For those who can’t afford Patreon, no worries. Patreon is not a requirement and my tutorial videos will eventually be uploaded to my regular YouTube channel. However, Patrons get the videos a month or so in advance as well as a say in what specific tutorials I get to make next! And for those who just want prints, the link to my print shop is in profile as well!!⠀ ⠀ I’ve been doing this cosplay thing for a hot minute now and want to be able to make more “premium” content. Do more professional shoots and the like. But for that I need funds >_< SO with some of your support I hope to be able to do just that and give back to you!! Thanks so much y’all for coming with me this far 🙂 ⠀ ⠀ #blackpanther #shuri #makeup #patreon #wakandaforever #blackpanthercosplay #shuricosplay #shuriblackpanther #cosplay #selfie
