What got you into cosplay?
I don't remember the first motivations any more, but now i do everything for friends and with friends.
What was your first costume and why?
Ren of Shaman King - now to think of it, this is probably the only omg-i-need-to-do-this cosplay i've done. Every other one since has been there-is-this-group-and-pick-someone. Guess i just like groups more, but occasionally i do miss the feeling of wanting to cosplay a certain character.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Ryuta. Now that i've become decent with costume making, i don't have much special feelings to any particular pieces any more (only those i want to rip apart and re-make!). But this character, is one that i'm in love with.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Ryutaros - NOT R-Ryotaro!
Do you participate in masquerades?
3 times so far, all with awards =)
What was your best masquerade experience?
Otakon 2008 - dancing practice was so much fun.
