CROWcatalyst

My name is Adam. I am eighteen years old as of August 24th, 2008. I am a first year in college, enrolled to receive my Associate Degree in Computer Graphic Design. My goal(s) in life is to be a sucessful novelist, become a published manga artist, travel to Japan, fulfill my dream of being a sucessful cosplayer, attend many conventions all over the nation, and just to find peace. True happiness is my main objective, and I hope to one day find that within myself. I may be a young blossom in the world of cosplay, but I hope to improve and get better as the years go by. (And yes, I used to be called silver.eyes, but I switched my cosplay name.)

What got you into cosplay?
I once went Halloweening as a Sailor Moon character, but the first real cosplay I did was Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts. It was that series plus the Organization XIII that inspired me to cosplay. I enjoyed the thought of role-playing and being in someone else's shoes... especially supernatural ones. (I wonder if Marly's shoes ARE magical...)
What was your first costume and why?
Marluxia. Why? Because his character reflects my own in many ways. I like his uniqueness and independence. Plus he is sexy to all hell.
What is your favorite costume and why?
I have not had much money or time to really get a lot of my projects done, so for now, it is Marluxia's. Why? Because it's the only one I've done so far, and everyone who has seen the pictures believes that it is pretty good. I am happy with the results.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Many. My next project is Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I am also looking into being Link from The Legend of Zelda series for Halloween this year - especially if there's a Halloween party at my community college.
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
I have not been to a CON yet, so I really don't have a specific one that concerns an event, time, or place.
Do you participate in masquerades?
No.
What was your best masquerade experience?
N/A
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Not yet.
Tell us a little about yourself
I am a first year in my local community college. My enrollment is in Computer Graphic Design. I live with my best friend (who is my Zexion in our small Organization XIII group) and her mom & two brothers. I just applied for my first job in late August, 2008. I am eighteen, 5'11", and I am very open-minded. My hobbies include drawing; reading; browsing the internet; listening to music; being on Youtube, Deviantart, or Livejournal; writing; or playing video games. In the future, I hope to be a well-known novelist who inspires others to write. I also want to be a manga artist for Tokyo Pop.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
My cosplays include (doesn't necessarily mean they are finished): Marluxia (KH), Sora (KH), Link (LoZ), Young Snape (HP), Wanderer (SotC), & Shuichi (Gravitation). I'm pretty sure more will come up soon.
