I’m playing Genshin Impact already since 2021 and funnily enough, I got Diluc and Beidou in one of my very first pulls! Both are super strong characters and a great combo in the game.

She is a mighty warrior wielding a massive claymore, the protector of the city Liyue and the Captain her own ship, the Crux. So, I was obviously incredibly excited when the developers of Genshin Impact, Hoyoverse, asked me to cosplay as Captain Beidou from the Crux!  Genshin Impact cosplays are special though.

It was time for a change! Last year Benni and I decided to leave Germany and start our adventure in a new home, in a new country and with a new language. I had gotten really bad depressions in Germany due the cold weather and lack of sunshine. In addition, the bureaucracy just made it more and more challenging to work as a self-employed artist. We were just not able focus on our passion and our art anymore and had to spend more and more each month with paperwork instead. It was time for a change, especially one with good weather! Therefore we finally decided to leave and picked, according to t ..read more

I started with cosplay in 2003 and a lot of things changed since then. My first crafting materials were simple paper maché, expanding foam and cheap shiny satin fabric. Later I switched to the thermoplastic material Wonderflex and Worbla  and am now building mostly costumes and props with EVA foam. In addition, my husband Benni discovered the magical world of 3D printing and became a real pro in sculpting with the 3D program Blender. In 20 years our art and craftsmanship evolved and so did our favorite tools and materials. So, a lot of people who follow our work and use our tutorials ask ..read more
