Winters Knight

What got you into cosplay?
All of the beautiful clothing that I realized suddenly I could make. That and Silent_Hill (Annie) she was a big part of it; She was actually one of the first cosplayers I actually saw who was really amazing.
What was your first costume and why?
A witch when I was just a weeee little thing. I wanted to be like Dori the good witch from a book I'd read so I wore my witch costume everywhere. My first normal cosplay though was Steve Burnside from Resident Evil Code: Veronica.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Umi is my greatest accomplishment so far, but it's not the most comfy to wear. As of right now I think my favourite to wear is Juri.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Lisa Trevor from Resident Evil Remake, Naaza from YST, and Vincent's Peacock outfit from Bizenghast (as well as a zillion other Bizenghast outfits).
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
AnneCon 04, 05, etc. not really a con, but a get together of the Anne and I to take pictures for a week. All three so far have been very fun. My best actual Con though has been Katsucon cause it was all hanging out with Annie even though I was SO sleepy.
Do you participate in masquerades?
yes
What was your best masquerade experience?
Winning best skit at Dragon*Con! Dave Tango (from Ghost Hunters) was one of the judges and he asked to get a picture with US afterwards!!
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
