I’m also a devotee for cosplay. To do well in this performance art, I’m interested in hunting for funny, gorgeous or fantastic pictures. From these breathtaking works and interviews done by cosplay talents, I always get inspired.

Cosplayers Interview – Seranaide

Sherry

myoubi Milan Expo

We invite excellent cosplayers to join in our interviews. In this case, cosplay fans can better know them and also learn from their experience. So, did the Alichino Myobi cosplay posted on Sep. 14 also make you feel surprised too? That cosplay girl is the best Alichino Myobi cosplayers I have ever seen. White hair with red flowers ideally flatters her white skin tone. Red clothes make her seem rather exotic and overwhelmingly appealing. If you also think so, you must be delighted because this girl, known as Seranaide on DA, accepts our interview today. Below you can better know her.

1. Please introduce yourself first.

I’m an Italian cosplayer with the passion for detailed dresses and trouble. I always try to put my heart in what I do, because I believe that it’s the first thing that gets noticed when you show your cosplay to the others. For the rest, I think I’m just a very lucky girl.

2. What does cosplay mean to you?

Cosplay is a very important chapter in my life. Before taking up cosplay, I didn’t care about myself that much, so I think everybody thought of me as the typical geeky, weak plain-looking girl. I picked up cosplay because of a bet with my friend, and since that day I tried to improve myself both in looks and skill. I was very proud of myself for succeeding in something I liked for the first time! My family was very glad about this original hobby too…and lots of people around me were excited about the idea of having a “special” actor/tailor as a friend ^_^

3. What and when was your first cosplay?

My first cosplay was Lenalee from D.Gray-man, but both its photos and its debut date are a secret. If anybody finds those photos, I’m afraid they will end up in a fail cosplay blog…

4. What is your most memorable cosplay experience?

When a little girl hand-in-hand with her mother pointed at me and said “Oh! A princess!”. I waved at her and bowed in front of the two. As I was walking away, I heard the little girl saying: “Mum, do princesses go to the seaside too?” (I was wearing my Lenalee black dress at a summer convention XD)

5. What’s your favorite photo shoot?

My most recent one, named Traditional Azrael. It features Kaito in his setsugetsuka version, and although it’s not a super-insanely-complicated dress, I’m quite proud of the result because we managed to do a great photoshot, using a large variety of objects to make the “contour” of the photo. I really, sincerely, desperately wanted to send my love poems to Len right after the photoshot…I think I got in chara too much!

6. What’s your favorite anime/manga/game character to cosplay as?

I think I fit young ladies and boys more, and especially dollish characters such as Myoubi. I see all the characters I choose to cosplay as “friends”, and sometimes even “sons” ^_^ and just like a mother couldn’t choose her favorite child among her sons, I couldn’t ever choose my favorite character out of all the ones I’ve cosplayed.

7. Any cosplay plan in future?

I want to cosplay as Michael from Angel Sancuary and the Throne elf from Lineage 2. It will be fun!

8. Do you make your costumes yourself or buy them?

I make all my costumes, sometimes I get helped by my grand-mother or my friends. What’s really weird about me is that I tend to enslave everybody who’s so unlucky to pass by for little works. Even the postman.

9. Any other cosplayers you like?

Kaname, Kaikida, GundamFamiglia, Yuegene…Nadia Baiardi, Francesca Dani…and many others!

10. Do some changes happen to you after cosplay?

I feel prettier and more self-confident indeed. I also feel I met a lot of great people that otherwise I wouldn’t have ever met without this strong passion. I feel very tired sometimes, but after I look back to what I’ve done, I smile. I wish I can continue cosplaying as I’ve done until now.

11. Any advice you wanna share with cosplay newbies?

Be what you wanna be, whoever you wanna be. Just open your heart and try your best, and more importantly try to understand your character from the deep of his/her soul…this is the key for a great cosplay! ^_^

We share amazing pictures from excellent cosplay fans here, hoping all of your can find some afflatuses for your own performance. This is another joyful day in this new week when we find Nadyasonika. Coming from Mexico, she is an industrial design student, costume designer, maker, cosplayer, model, gamer and geek. This is her Soul Calibur Sophitia cosplay. First, her appearance is faithful to the game. Second, she made an absolutely right decision on the cartoon character she should cosplay. The costume fits her complexion and accentuates her femininity. She seems exotic, dreamlike and also powerful due to the sword :D. Not doing cosplay frequently, she yet does well in this hot performance art. To see more pictures, just pay a visit to her gallery please.

Cosplayer Interviews – Kristina

Sherry

Axis Power Hetalia Francis Bonnefoy cosplay

On August 15, we introduced you a pretty German girl, who is known as Mari-Sama on DA. Her Axis Power Hetalia Francis Bonnefoy cosplay helps her steal the show in the busy crowd. Today, she accepts our cosplayer interviews. We are so fortunate, right? If you are looking for some afflatuses for your cosplay on the upcoming show, you had better listen to what excellent cosplayers, like this girl, share. Now, let’s begin.

1. Please introduce yourself first.

My name is Kristina. I´m 19 years old and a cosplayer from Germany. Right now I´m training to become management assistant, but will also study in the university after finishing this. In my freetime I like to read, to draw, meeting my wonderful friends and – of course- cosplaying.

2. What does cosplay mean to you?

Cosplay is very important to me. I really love to be one of my favorite characters for a day and enjoy meeting others who share the same fandom. Characters I do not know or like won´t be cosplayed by me, because the “play” is very special to me and my precious cosplay partner Roxieh-Foxieh. If you do not know the character well you cannot be him.

3. What and when was your first cosplay?

My first cosplay has been Wedding Peach in 2007! I loved the series then and I still do today! I plan to do a remake someday.

4. What is your most memorable cosplay experience?

The most memorable experiences are all the times trying to seduce an England cosplayer while cosplaying France. Their faces are hilarious!

5. What’s your favorite photo shoot?

This question is not easy to answer. I love every photoshooting I have because it´s always fun and awesome. But I think my favourite ones have been this year on Animagic in August. I enjoyed my group so much.

And also one last year in July when akumanokeki visited ma and Roxieh. We had a very great shooting with Sebastian, Claude and Ciel from Kuroshitsuji.

6. What’s your favorite anime/manga/game character to cosplay as?

Also not an easy question. It might be America or France from Hetalia.
I love to cosplay both a lot!

7. Any cosplay plan in future?

Many!!! And many from Hetalia! I relly love the series! Right now I´m trying to finish Germany´s King of Hearts outfit. Himaruya´s design is so lovely! Next will be also several outfits from France, Spain, Germany and America. Also Kojiro from Adekan and maybe some Vocalooid cosplays even though I lost my interest a little.

8. Do you make your costumes yourself or buy them?

I always sew my cosplays by myself. But I would love to buy maybe some of them because I would not spend this much time on sewing. Unfortunately I can´t buy the cosplays I want to wear!

9. Any other cosplayers you like?

Too many I think! Calssara, chasseneige, evil-uke-sora, fujimiyaran, hikari-green, vogelbeere, yuegene and yukigodbless are the ones I really really adore and whoe work I love too see!

10. Do some changes happen to you after cosplay?

I became more self confident and outgoing I think. I was such a shy girl back then! But all in all I think I stayed the way I used to be.

11. Any advice you wanna share with cosplay newbies?

I still call myself a newbie. *laughs* But okay! I think it´s important to find a character which suits you, not only face and body, but one you can also imagine to play. In my opinion you have to feel comfortable with the character, I could not imagine cosplaying a character I do not like or know. It is also not a shame to buy your cosplay. (In Germany the people are more like to sew the cosplays by itself and many of the newbies who are not that good in sewing keep excusing for buying their cosplays!). But all in all: Enjoy cosplay!
