HEY GUYS!
If you haven't noticed, I had a name change. It just went official. Some of you may be wondering about this. Well to be honest I hate switching my username/screenname/etc. Especially when it's something everyone has come to know me by. But, to be honest the name SupaTuna hasn't related to me very much for a very long time. I still adore the name. I think it's unique, quirky and always raises an eyebrow. But, it's just not how I see myself anymore. I'm still the quirky tuna, but I just don't feel like it properly represents me anymore. I've stuck with it from the very beginning and now it's time to say goodbye and open a new door into my crazy cosplay adventure. I hope you all continue to follow me and can help adjust to the name change with me!

Originally with the name change I wanted to go with something cool and awesome like all those cosplayers I admire. Like, _____'s closet, or the Devious Insanity of ______, ______ Thug Life, or something I guess a bit more mature for my age. But I decided to go with my roots, and definitely something that will stick with me for life, not something that is perhaps a fleeting love or hobby I follow.

Why Bunny?
Well, as many of you have seen from my deviations, I have two bunny shaped tattoos on my hips. There's a looong story behind them. First of all being that I have been nicknamed Bunny in my house since infancy. My big feet and hyperactive personality in the womb led my mom to call me that since before we met. Then as I grew older, my front teeth (which you may or may not have noticed) kind of outgrew my mouth. XD Not to a hilarious extent, but they are my biggest set of teeth I have. I've always associated with being a silly wabbit, from the get go. It's just kind of my pet name in the family.

And now I'm closing one door and opening another. I hope that people will still be able to find me and will stick with my pages despite the name change! Let me know what you think! ("I hate it" or "I love it")

NOW, as for all the notes!! I am sooooo very sorry I have fallen behind with responding and keeping up with everything. Ever since Wondercon I've been MIA. So PLEASE forgive me. My job has been keeping me EXTREMELY busy. I have packages I need to ship out and I will do that as soon as I can. I'll be getting to everyone's notes/questions/comments as soon as I can. I feel terrible for making a lot of you wait, but I honestly have had zero time to get onto deviant art. It's no excuse, but it's the only explanation I can give you.

Hey guys! I've gotten a bunch of notes, but I've fallen behind due to my work schedule. I only have had time to upload pictures. I'll get to you as soon as I can!

HarleyTheSirenxoxo~I've started on her Rogue commission

For upcoming commissions, this month (March) I'm booked.

I have about 2 openings left in April. I have 2 more costumes requested by HarleyTheSirenxoxo that I need to complete and then the other two are possibly open, I have a maybe right now, so if you are interested in a commission, please note me asap so I can put it on my radar and list of things to do. First come first served.

That's about it. Lacking in response department but I'll get back on the horse soon!

Love ya~

Let me first start off with a disclaimer; this is in no way to gain sympathy or support or fish for compliments. I don't generally like to post about these feelings I get however recently they've been dragging me down and hindering my performance with cosplaying and life in general.

I'm going through a bit of a rut and self doubt. I am overly appreciative of all the support and love I have received through all my followers, watchers and friends. I have no idea why I would continue making cosplays without you guys having my back. It quite literally means the world to me.

As of late, however I've felt very down about my skills as a costumer and seamstress. I'm afraid my work is subpar and quite honestly half assed to look good on camera but under scrutiny my craftsmanship falls to below the standards I feel a lot of people think I'm at.

My costumes are my life, pride and joy, but lately I've been critical of how much I hate my work. In a picture, yes my cosplays can pass off and sometimes look appealing. But in reality I usually feel inadequate and unworthy of compliments because I know how I made it, and I my expectations for my own work are extremely high.

I appreciate all the encouraging words and love everyone has extended to me, you have no idea how much that has helped my move on from a lot of my self esteem issues, but as of late I feel like crap and thus I feel like my work is crap. I want to be able to say I am proud of a costume I have sewn, and be proud of how it turns out.

When I receive a compliment I always look for that flaw that allows me not to accept the compliment. I have very few costumes that I actually feel good receiving credit for. Otherwise I really just feel utterly and completely unimpressed with myself. And I feel guilty. I feel guilt to have these thoughts and feelings about my work when so many people have faith and unending support for me.

For example; my work on my Lady Loki costume thus far has really been dragging my through the gutter. I feel terrible every time I start working on it. I must have redone pieces 20-30 times and it's literally driving me insane that I keep falling short of my own expectations for this costume. I feel unworthy to receive kind words and I have that little nagging voice in my head who repeatedly tells me how horrible and inferior I am.

I rarely feel 100% about costumes I have made. The few that I am extremely proud of I can openly admit I love and have no regrets with the costume. And then all the others I just feel under average.
In the end, I guess it's just the fact that I know my costumes are not perfect. I'm not perfect. I don't create perfect work, I have flaws in what I make and how I make them. Which is ok. It's something I can choose to improve at or just learn to accept about myself.

I know that this is my own hyper self criticism at work, but it's still getting to me in all aspects of my life. With my relationships, my job and even my day to day functions.
I guess this is more of just a rant of all the stuff that's been racing through my head as of late, so in no way do I expect people to respond or to encourage me. It's one of those things where I have to speak out loud so it can slowly lose it's power over me.

I just want to say, thank you. To everyone who has made the journey with me this far and has faith in me. Thank you to all the wonderful people who believe in me when I really fail to believe in myself. With Wondercon coming up I really hope I don't disappoint anyone and I can enjoy my time in costume without the critic in my head ruining the fun I want to have.
<3 I love you all. <3

So I'm super duper sick right now. Like coughing up a lung, incapacitated sick.

I'm really sorry to people who have been sending notes. I'm just barely able to stand on my feet right now. And I made things worse since I didn't know that you're not supposed to mix mucinex with dayquil....which is making me severely dizzy and disoriented right now.

If you have sent me any notes I'll get to them when I can properly read.

Sorry if there are any typos in this journal...

Thank you all for being understanding and supportive of me. I will try to get back into the swing of things when I can. In the meantime I'm super excited for Wondercon and I can't wait to see you guys there. Working towards it one day at a time.

I live! Again....again.... (Inside joke, check out "Floating Hands Studios" to get it)


Hey guys! I've been a little (lot) absent starting from last weekend. I was in a bit of a rut and stayed in my uncomfortable bed for a large majority of the week/weekend. I have been replying to a few things here and there, but before I realized it, it was Friday....and I thought it was still halfway through the week... Eternal time of never ending self bashing ensued. But I'm back up on the horse's saddle (despite being bucked off numerous times).

I tried working on cosplay stuff. I REALLY DID. But everything just seemed to have their own plans and things went....awry....SO! I wasted a bunch of money and ruined quite a few cosplay things, but I finally made some progress with at least ONE thing. If you follow my Instagram, you'll see that my Lady Loki horns are almost completed. PHEW. I'm relieved, but almost defeated by how much trouble they've given me lately. (ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER COSTUMES THAT DON'T WANT TO COOPERATE)

LONG STORY SHORT (why do people even say that?), I'm going out of town this weekend. Well more specifically tonight. I'm going to Sacramento for the Emilie Autumn concert~ I'm super excited. But when I return I shall HOPEFULLY be up to cleaning my room and working on cosplay things and wips.

If you have commissioned from me I will get started on those commissions as soon as I return. Or if you would like to inquire about some upcoming open commission slots I have please refer to this journal:supatunaxxxcosplay.deviantart.…
