I'm Arlena. I'm a California based cosplayer. That's mostly what this channel focuses on but I enjoy making other videos about beauty and fashion as well. You'll mostly find work logs and tutorials related to cosplays though. I also have a sort of "cosplay 101" series called Welcome To Cosplay where I go over the basics of cosplaying and give some helpful tips and advice on different cosplay-related topics :) I make some Cosplay Showcase videos too! I hope you stick around! :D

Black Friday sale ends Monday at 11:59pm PT! It's a buy one get one (of equal or lesser value) free sale :) Just let me know at check out what you'd like your bonus template to be. Unfortunately neither Storenvy or Etsy has a way to set up a buy 1 get 1 free sale, so it's gotta be done via the check out notes. ;^^

I've started streaming over on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/arlenafae
If you're interested in just hanging out and chatting with me while I play some casual games and chill, follow me on there. I love chatting, doesn't have to be about me/the game either. Just wanna hang out and play (mostly) the Sims~ I always announce when I'm going live on Twitter and Instagram too :3

Please take a minute to sign this petition! And help all of your favorite creators~
www.change.org/p/youtubers-and-viewers-unite-again…
I'm afraid my content would be considered kid-friendly despite it featuring machinery and tools children shouldn't be using and being aimed at/made for a pg 16 audience and up. I'd hate to have to keep all my tutorials behind a pay wall on Patreon because I really do like sharing knowledge and helping others with their cosplay ventures. But continuing to upload them to YouTube wouldn't be something I could do. The ad revenue (as little as I make) does make all the difference--it helps pays for supplies and the monthly fee of the programs used to edit the videos.

Also please suggest any other video platforms that allows for monetization early on! I want to consider all options to keep these view-able to the public for free before settling on just Patreon (if things around this rule don't change).


If you haven't heard (but I'm sure you had) YouTube is imposing some strict rules that label pretty much everything as kid-friendly content whether or not you're actually making content for kids. You can totally just be making content for adults but if YouTube or the FTC feels like labeling it "for kids" then you not only get punished on YouTube with demonetization or losing your channel, but a $42,530 fine! For each video.. So if you want to keep a lot of your favorite YouTubers from leaving or moving behind a pay wall on other platforms, sign and share this petition. And go b*tch to YouTube via social media and emails please. Even your local govt, if you live in America. Try to get some rules changed! :D

I should also note people have mentioned how these rules can be negative for kids as well. It means less kid content while kids still use the platform.. Meaning they'll be viewing more content not necessarily kid-friendly. And the potential for non-kid friendly ads. There's more out there written by other creators. But I don't have a kid and don't have any interest in making videos for them, so this is a bit out of my zone of knowledge.

I've put up a lot of new templates on my Storenvy and Etsy recently. Some of the listings there don't have a video (yet) and will have a build guide instead. I hope to cosplay all these someday and make videos for them in the future, but for now I've just got the templates made.

Some of the characters I've uploaded templates for recently are; Cammie MacCloud from Gen:LOCK, Winged Victory Mercy, Rikku from Final Fantasy, Kim Possible's Cheerleader Uniform, Bunny Girl Riven and more! Be sure to check it out to see if there's maybe a template that can help you with your next cosplay.
