꧁༒•Rainbow Cemetery•༒꧂It's been a pipe dream of mine to capture Maria in a church with big stained glass windows, I'm beyond elated we got a short window of opportunity (pun unintended) to use them! I can't thank Chris enough for his patience with my unhinged ideas. What's a dream photoshoot you have?

With the release of the cinematic 'The Odyssey' today, it made me nostalgic for wearing Kassandra from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. I treasure these photos and experiences, they were so many firsts for me, and equally reliving my first trip to the Greek islands. All my photographers did a phenomenal job recreating the soft beaches of Naxos, the austere stone temples of Sparta, and olive groves of Athens. We even got a (smaller sized) Ikaros for a short period from the Schlitz Audubon Center! Will you be seeing it today, or rereading Homer's epic poem? (Or firing up the good ol' Animus in AC) --------- Kassandra from Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Pilgrim gear)Full costume and leather accessories made by me 3D print spear purchased on Etsy 📸 1-13 @infinityspiralphotography📸 14-16 @worldofgwendana📸 17-20 @g28646🎮 @ubisoft#AssassinsCreed #AssassinsCreedOdyssey #Kassandra #Sparta #Ubisoft by @etaru

Inspired by @soffels to continue this 🫰I think it's important, from time to time, to get a reality check on the reality of what we post and how rooted it is in being human and the imperfect human experience. Art is learning, art is imperfection, art is the silent struggle. If you've had any similar stories behind your creations, I'd love to hear them ❤️ #btwtrend #cosplay #costuming #BTW by @etaru

Do you prefer a photo, or video? I have both 🔥Beautiful photography by @infinityspiralphotographyAmazing cinematic for @Conmorhen by @matejhytha (I appear about halfway through, see full video on the Con Morhen account!)So incredibly humbled to make it into the #ConMorhen after movie, next to such amazing costumers like @oldman.cosplay, @swiss_witcher, @rhiannon._jpg @ellen_cosplay_, @tom_juky and @magister_workshop ! I love seeing such a great international representation of costumers (and then suddenly my American accent 😂) Philippa Eilhart from Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt worn by and made by me (except the little plush owl!) #Witcher3 #witcher3cosplay #PhilippaEilhart by @etaru

Do you prefer photo 1 or 2? I wore Philippa briefly to #Acen2026 just to socialize a bit and ended up getting some phenomenal photos with Chris! He has a great knack for finding locations that fit the time period of the costume, even in parking garages haha Philippa Eilhart from #Witcher3 Cosplay made entirely by me 📸 @infinityspiralphotography #PhilippaEilhart #Witcher3cosplay by @etaru

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℝ𝕒𝕥 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕆𝕨𝕝It was so fun having both a Djikstra and a Radovid at @ConMorhen because they have different histories with Philippa, but boy does she seem to end them all on the same negative note 😂🪶🪶🪶The Witcher 3Philippa Eilhart made entirely by me Alex as Sigimund Djistra, made by @goodnightneu 📸 @creative.photostages #PhilippaEilhart #Witcher3cosplay #Philippacosplay #ConMorhen2026 by @etaru

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛᴏ ɢᴏ ʀᴜɪɴ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ᴡɪᴛᴄʜᴇʀ'ꜱ ᴅᴀʏ 🔥Oh, can you spot her little owl? Philippa was finished in the nick of time for @ConMorhen , I was so happy for her positive reception! Entire costume made by me, I settled on her green and red palette from Witcher 3 rather than black and red from W2. Runes trim hand applied using stencil by @infinityspiralphotography. The hair feathers are shed turkey feathers from my parents' yard I collected years and years ago. #PhilippaEilhart from #Witcher3 #cosplay📸 @creative.photostages by @etaru

My first @ConMorhen was an imitable experience. The Czechs are such a warm people and made us Americans feel so welcome! The festival itself was very well run, and seeing all the Witcher deep cut costumes was like being a kid in a candy shop. Thank you everyone for your kind compliments on my first wear of Philippa (and the gorgeous @goodnightneu in my Keira Metz). More photos to come! #PhilippaEilhart from #Witcher3 #philippaeilhartcosplay #cdpr #conmorhen2026 by @etaru

For those who come after I'm posting this rad video compilation late for the 1yr anniversary of Expedition 33, but I hope you like it as much as I do! We got so lucky to film in the short window of cherry blossom season this spring 🌸 We forgot to take still photos of my Coralim weapon but at least got it on film and it moves just great!
