As per cosplay I have not been much into that, I do love cosplaying though and I do fascinate the fact that people spend alot of times into their costumes, acts, and getting in-character.
I have done two debuted cosplays actually, and I will list them down here as we go. My skills in sewing are limited, my time have been limited and well - I choose characters with not so many details but that fits me.
Character: Jiraiya The Mountain Frog Sage (Ero-sennin)
Show: Naruto, Naruto Shippuuden.
Debuted: J-popcon 2006
Retired: Yes. (October 2007)
Managed to make this cosplay just prior to J-popcon 2006, the clothing itself was relatively easy to make, pants, a robe, the jacket was easy-to-make,
the wig was made using a sheep-rug, which was a horrible choice but I had no time to get a wig at all. So a quick-solution had to be found and this is what I did.
The picture was taken during Cosmag.dk Parade through Copenhagen, and Botanical Garden in Copenhagen.
Character: Frank West.
Game: Dead Rising.
Debuted: Kameko Halloween Event 2008
Retired: No.
I fell in love with Dead Rising the first time I saw the game, and it was a cool idea for me since I'm not trying to work as a cosplay photographer, so I thought "Hey if I can cosplay and do photos at the same time ?!"
So this is what I came up with, unfortunately noone managed to take a picture of me during the event of this cosplay, apparently they didn't know it was a cosplay/costume.
So it was obviously working!
