Time to Work it Off!

Alright! it's time to start getting this weight off!

Main target areas: Stomach, thighs, and upper arms.

My goal: Lose 4 dress sizes (I want to be a size 8-9) and firm up my arms. I just really want to be a lot healthier than I am right now. Over the past year I have let myself go due to stress, and I'm sick of not loving what I see in the mirror.

What is my plan, you ask? Well, I'm going to start by cutting out all fried foods (EX: fast food, chinese food, and the ever delicious mozzarella sticks.) as well as sodas, sweet tea, and artificial, sweetened juices. By doing this I should cut a lot of calories out already. My portions are going to be smaller, and I'm going to be eating lots more grapes, apples, and bananas.

Right now I weigh an absolutely AWFUL 211 lbs. Being only 5'3" and 19 years old, I am truly concerned for my health. Let's kick this thing in the ass!

My First Role!

Well now! I heard back from one of my VAA auditions, and I have been officially given my first voice acting role!

I will be playing a teenage boy named Erik in Lovelymyko's "Glass Slippers" audio book.

More info on the project to come!

Getting Back In The Swing

It's October now. The easiest month to find cosplay supplies for decent prices.

And I think I have decided on my two cosplays for this summer.

Both very beautiful girls, both from a video game that I adore. I give you, two lovely ladies from the Atlas and Vanillaware game Odin Sphere.

Gwendolyn:
Velvet:




First off, I am going to attempt to re-build my Gwendolyn dress that burned up in my house fire. I loved that dress, and it didn't look bad on me. Posted below is the only surviving picture I have of my first attempt. Looking back, I already have new ideas on how to fix it and make it look better and more form fitting.

Luckily I had most of my steps saved on my DeviantArt account, so it shouldn't
t take me too too long to re-settle.


ALSO... I'm starting a workout and diet regiment. I have 40 weeks to lose 65 lbs. I think I can do this.

Anyway, will update this later.

Voices All Around!

Well, this has definitely been an arduous battle...


With the initial posting of the cast list for a project i auditioned for, I was given the role of Erik, But on the update, they had cut me.

After much research...THEY HAD SWITCHED MY EMAIL WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S BY MISTAKE

So all of this aside, this is my first role as a VA, and I hope it goes well!

Once I get the information for the project website, I'll post it here.

Other than that, goodnight all1

Let's Get Started

Alright, let's get these simple introductions out of the way now:

A Bit About Me:




My name is Korynn Warthen and I'm  sophomore in college. I attend the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. I'm a double major, Media studies, as well as Graphic design, and my career aspirations lay in the advertising field.

I have been sewing, cosplaying, and creating for almost 5 years now. And I've just started getting better at it. I have also started to dabble in the art of amateur voice acting. Hopefully these get off the ground soon.


Now Something About This Blog:
Ever since April, when my family's house burned down, I have been trying to gather up all of the cosplays and art pieces that I had. All of my cosplays were hand made, and my art was very dear to me.

This blog will be dedicated to logging the processes of creating new works, new cosplays, as well as storing the tips and processes used for my old cosplays.

I had stored the entire process of one of my cosplay projects on another site, and that will be the first official "Cosplay entry".

What this blog will also serve as, is a means of cataloging my voice acting hobby, posting character demos, and keeping my resume up to date.

I am sharing all of this on the off chance that someone stumbling past might find any bit of this useful.




That's enough for introductions, I would think.

Until next time!
