Little Manakete Creations

Hello there! My name is Abigail! I'm a 25-year old cosplayer/crafter based out of mid-Michigan. I'm a full-time costume commissioner and online shop owner. I enjoy creating handmade goods and learning new skills to create even better or more interesting things. Cosplay has been a passion of mine for nearly 10 years now, and I appreciate the opportunity to bring cosplay dreams to life through my work. In my spare time I also enjoy playing video games such as Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy XIV, and more. These series in particular are very special to me and you'll often see them reflected in my work in some way or another. I especially enjoy making costumes from these series but I'll accept work from any particular piece of media, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have a project in mind!

I've been making my own cosplays since 2015 and have been doing commissions since 2018 (part-time) and moved to full-time commissioning in 2019. To date, I've finished over 120 commissions of varying sizes, including costumes, armor, props, wigs, and clothing, and have made over 30 personal cosplays. I have experience working with textiles of all sorts, genuine leather, faux fur, EVA foam armor and small props, and recently I've been expanding my portfolio to encompass wigs and 3D printed props/pieces. In 2023 I also plan to extend my skills into working with resin, small/simple lights, and 3D modeling. I have experience working with body types of all shapes and sizes and I semi-frequently draft my own patterns for commission pieces, with plans to make said patterns publicly available in the future for others to use and reference. I pride myself on being accepting and inclusive and I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself. Please reach out if my work is of interest; I'd love to make your next cosplay!
