Hello everyone! 

I'm sorry I haven't been that active lately. I just moved recently and been busy with being an adult. (Adulting sucks sometimes). As a result, cosplay, modeling and even acting has been put on hold. 

BUT! I did move up here for the better opportunities and one has already happened! I am happy to announce that I will be in my first ever film starting this summer! GAH! *insert high pitch squeal here*

So here's the deal, I will try to keep you all updated on here but if you really want updates as they come, go and like my page on Facebook. I'm going to post there more than I post here. Here's the link:

Also, go like the page that I'm doing this film with if you could:
www.facebook.com/madangelfilms…


Ok, so I will tell you what I do know and am allowed to share about this film. 

I did not get one of the main roles. But honestly, since it was my first shot, I would have been happy to be Tree 2 in Scene 37 for three seconds. But alas, I do have a supporting role with a name! I will be Alaun the Ram, a Knight of the Realm. She has been described to me as a "badass female knight" by one of the productions directors. 

Not only that, this is a three part film. I won't be in the first movie much but will be more explored in the second one. Third one to be determined. So I get to a part of a Trilogy! What!? 

Lastly, the film is called "Radiant Dark." It's a fantasy themed film as you may have figured out by now. It's going to be awesome!

I'm very excited and happy to not only being in my first film, but to be working with these people. At auditions, my fellow actors were nice and were ever so happy to give me a rundown of what filming is like and the compare and contrast to theater. The production crew was nice as well. 

Shooting will be this summer! I'm super excited! 

Again, go like my Facebook page for updates as they happen instead of waiting on here. And like their page for even more updates!

Thanks again for all your support and love! It's wonderful!

Well hello again everyone! For the last few days, I went out and did a very nice cleaning of my Deviations. There were simply some selfies and photos that really had no purpose on here so I took them off like previous IDs and just shit I threw on here a few years ago because I could. Anything Sparky Burns related were taken off since that project is no more. I ended up deleting close to 200 deviations. Which is good.

During this, I also went though all my cosplay and modeling pics and made it so the download isn't free. Anything with my face on it, I'd just feel better that way. 

Afterwards, I organized my gallery as well. As you can see there are only a few photos under "Featured" now and the links to folders on the left. The ones I left on featured at my way of showing what I have to display and show in the folders on the left. A sneak peek per say. I'm hoping this will make it more organized and easier to find things. 

I was able to upload my one photoshoot with Ken Corey. It's honestly just me as myself. Go check it out! It's already been given a huge and positive response. 

Also, since I have the Core Membership and my photos seem to be taking off and popular, I want to ask you guys if you would interested in me selling prints? Keep in mind, they'd be some of the regular photoshoots like the vintage one and the one I just posted recently because unfortunately, I cannot sell any of the cosplay images since they are characters under copyright and simply put, I could get in huge trouble by selling them without permission. But if you all are interested, please share your opinions. I wouldn't mind making a little extra money that way. 

Thanks again for sticking by! I appreciate all the support! Let me know how you feel about prints!

So I have been a member on DeviantArt for a few years and believe me when I say that the reason I joined and the reason I'm active on it today are completely different reasons and that's fine. But as a result, there are a lot of old things on here that aren't needed or I just posted for shits and giggles. So I'll be cleaning out stuff today. 

My account will now be used for cosplay purposes and if I happen to write a short story or poem I'd like to share. I don't have much time to draw anymore but if I do and I feel like sharing, I'll do that too. But mainly for cosplay now. 

No worries, I'm still keeping old fanfictions on here like "Beautiful Rose" because that's how I actually ended up getting a little more well known and quite a bit of my watchers. It's more like old selfies. The show productions (or some of them anyway). Anything Sparky related since that idea is long gone. 

A little update since June! So I'm happily in a relationship now. I moved to the Syracuse Area for better opportunities in acting and cosplaying. I'm starting a whole new chapter in my life. And I'm really happy. I'll be starting my job at Petco here soon! And I have an audition for a film in February! Exciting! 

Thanks for sticking by me! Please go and like my Facebook page for more updates! And stay tuned! More cosplay to come!

Thanks again lovelies!

Update

3 min read
Wow. I haven't written an update since last year! And for that, I am terribly sorry! I really am! 

Well here's what has happened since then. I've been checking in every week or so to keep up on notifications and updating my Acting Resume and see how everyone else is doing. As you can see, I have rarely submitted anything, because well... I've been super busy and that's not a bad thing! 

So back in March, I did Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap." I played Miss Casewell and  I say it was a huge success. A week after that was finished, I auditioned for this musical called, "Zombie Prom" and I ended up getting the lead, Toffee. Not only was it my first lead in a musical but an amazing experience and such a fun show! While I was doing that, I was offered the part of Madeline in "The Fall of the House of Usher" based on the short story of the same name by Edgar Allen Poe. So it was also my first time doing two shows at once. After Zombie Prom finished, I went right into Tech Week for House of Usher and just finished that up last weekend. I am now in rehearsals for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" where I will be playing Honey. 

So as you can see, I really have had no break. I was hoping I would get at least a week's break between Usher and Virginia Woolf but I actually got two days. This weekend, I was able to catch up on everything. 

I will be posting photos from the last three shows I've been in when I can find the time. Hopefully I'll be able to do most tonight. 

As I just posted, I am working on the She Hulk cosplay as mentioned in my last update. It's coming along great. I will be doing defense attorney She Hulk for this year and continue working on her actual Hero's costume. It's going to be fun and I can't wait to post photos of that!

Hope you're all sticking with me! I'm still touched when I come on and find people are still adding my works to their favorites or adding me to their watch. Thank you all so much!

I promise I will update sooner than last!

Love you all!

Hey everyone! I figured it's about time for an update if you care enough of what's going on.

As you may or may have not noticed, I have been on less and less lately. I have posted two pictures I've drawn while writing Wolf Girl and posted some pictures taken from Comic Con. There would be more except I'm simply have trouble finding time to. So here's what's going on and what I plan to do next. :)

I won't be leaving DeviantArt. I do check it every few days or so to catch up on notifications and keep up to date with everyone. If I happen to have something I could post, then I try to post it. But sadly, don't have time to even create stuff. But I'm trying my best. I really am. So please don't leave me and stay tuned! :)

I plan to set a date aside to upload my albums of pictures I have ready to post here. Including my trip to NYC and some more from Comic Con. I also just finished a photo shoot so I plan to post those pictures on here as well as I get them. I'm also getting more into cosplay and plan to post pictures as I do them. Right now, I'm being Belle for Halloween and working on She-Hulk for next year's Comic Con. WHOO! :party:

I am currently busy with a Haunted House. No it's not Tagsylvania anymore nor Sparky. It's actually where I first started in the Haunted House industry and I'm glad to be back. It's going to be great and so much fun! :D :D :D :party:

I plan to do more photo shoots and really start going out and trying to starting this acting career. I will try to keep you updated on that and post more as I go. But that also means that I won't be posting as many pictures and stories anymore. Sorry. :(

Love you all!

~Melissa
