What got you into cosplay?
I've always been a huge fan of anime. My first was Dragonball Z then it sort of got me into the whole Toonami wave. My first playstation game was the all mighty Final Fantasy VII. One day I saw a bad picture of a cosplayer that made me laugh. Then later on down the line I saw a great cosplayer. It was from then on that I would use what artistic skill I had to make a costume that would stand out.
What was your first costume and why?
Zack from Final Fantasy VII. I made everything by hand with a fully functional buster sword and harness that attached with a high powered magnet. Loved the concept and then sold it at my first convention I dressed up in for $300 bucks.
What is your favorite costume and why?
I respect the well done Sephiroth costume. The hair has to be right and the face of the person has to be on spot too. Anyone that can pull it off is a golden god... or is it silver?
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden). 2nd Hokage(Naruto). Nightmare(Soul Calibure).
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
Being told I should have signed up for the costume contest at Katsucon 07, then selling my costume for $300.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Nope, dont really know about it. Maybe one day.
What was your best masquerade experience?
-
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Not yet but I will.
