That's me at work, and me during my 'hobby' SAY it with ME! Cosplay is a HOBBY. There are no professional cosplayers, you are not paid to do this and there is no ritual for you to take on. If you want to try it, go ahead. No one can stop you. What makes it so different is that It's just a very...intricate and wonderfully painful hobby. It's the only hobby wherein fantasy crosses into the realm of reality. Clarifications aside, At times, I honestly just want to rethink all the things that matter to me. Dividing my limited financial resources into:
Isn't an easy feat, I tell 'ya *le sigh* I do web coding, layouts, and photography at my day job. I also take on sidelines for websites and make ads and the likes for a fee. Am sure, most of us who cosplay don't just Cosplay. Think Jin Joson for instance, she has a freelance job, tuxessories and still has time for shoots and possibly hanging out with her friends. We will have times that we need to go to school, do projects, meet with friends...etc, etc. Most of us who cosplay are individuals with seriously mixed up hobbies. We like music, we watch movies, read books, we craft, study photography and whatnot (Of course all of that is based on myself XD But am sure you'd find one or two similarities if not all of it) It's really a tough love-hate relationship at times though (much like with a lot of other hobbies)

WARNING: The post below is Image Heavy I started cosplaying 'officially' way back 2005. (I started sewing and copying incomplete anime clothes 2003) Officially in the sense that, I REALLY copied costumes from anime characters and game characters. Contact lenses, hair, et al. Moving on! This post isn't fully about me. This is about the only people I truly admire. In no particular order:
Jin Joson:As a little background, she's a UP fine arts graduate. And as of now she's a freelance painter among a lot of other things. She's a digital artist, a seriously good photographer, she's great at makeup and she emotes awesomely. She's basically seriously blessed with creativity. And honestly, she still gives me goosebumps whenever she's near me. *cough* Must compose thyself. Yaya HanYaya Han has been in the costume making industry for well almost TEN years. So at the times we can use "Expert" this might be the best time to do so. She's well learned at her craft and her costumes are just SPOT ON. (As well as the fact that she's awfully blessed *cough*) |
