Making fictional characters come alive!

Hey everyone!


My name is Kristen Lanae! I am a cosplayer, model, promotional model, photographer, and Twitch streamer. I have been cosplaying for over 2 years now and have been loving every second of it. I am also a promotional model and have had the opportunity to travel and work at some of the countries largest conventions and events. On top of that, I have recently began live streaming video games on Twitch.

Cosplay and creating art is what I am most passionate about and truly love. Cosplay is not only my hobby, but it has become a way to express myself and unexpectedly over come some of my issues with confidence and social anxiety (see this article). My ultimate dream would be able to take my hobby and make it into my career. As of the past year or so, I have been selling my cosplay prints in my online shop and that has been going pretty well. However, cosplay is very, very expensive. Print money sales alone aren't enough to create all of the costumes I'd like to. I'd like to be able to experiment with different, better materials and try armor making with Worbla. This is why I have reached out to Patreon for help!

All donations given through Patreon will go directly towards my future cosplay creations.
This includes the materials, tools, and accessories needed to create the cosplays. I will also use money that is donated to help fund my photo shoots and trips to comic conventions. That would mean I can travel out and meet more of you awesome people! :D

What do I get out of donating? Aside from it just being incredibly kind and helpful (haha!) I want to try and give back as much as I can to those who support me. Lower tier donators will receive Patreon exclusive behind the scenes photos from my shoots, cosplay progress photos/videos, and live stream hangouts of me working cosplays. Higher donation tiers will receive the same perks as low tiers and also things like free prints of my cosplays and hand written thank you letters!
