What was your first Cosplay experience?
Auchinawa 2008, a convention in Scotland I attended with my university anime society.
How long have you been Cosplaying?
Since 2008! So, this is my 8th year. 🙂
Who or what inspired you to take up Cosplaying?
I wasn’t inspired by anyone in particular. I really just wanted to do it because I thought it was an amazing creative hobby that let you bring characters you loved to life!
If you had to pick a favorite Cosplay you have worn, or have seen someone else wear, what would it be?
My favourite at the moment is probably my genderbent Jace from Magic: The Gathering. It changes a lot though as I grow as a cosplayer and make new things, but that ne has stayed on top for a while now!
If you had unlimited funds and resources, what Cosplay would you create?
Xena – Warrior Princess, a few armored angels from Magic: The Gathering and a huge bunch of characters from Kingdom Death.
What advice would you offer to those who are aspiring Cosplayers?
Don’t be scared to try! It’s a great way to meet people who love the same fandoms as you, make new friends and have fun!
