Cosplayer Interviews – Amandine

August 22, 2011 Sherry

World of Warcraft cosplay

Drawing attention from most people, certainly also including us by a stunning World of Warcraft Robes of the Triumvirate cosplay, this cosplayer also accepted our interview today. She is known as Mandine83 on DA. So probably, you have heard of this name rather than her real name. This is a French girl who shows us lots of excellent cosplay works. And the one found by us is one of her latest works. You can see more information about her on her DA page. Or keep reading for her interview content here.

1. Please introduce yourself first.

I’m Amandine, I’m 18 years old. In the cosplay my nickname is Koni (in relation to my first cosplay). I like challenges. That’s why I chose the universe of World Of Warcraft (WoW) for my costumes.

2. What does cosplay mean to you?

Personally, the cosplay is a pleasure. When we play a character from a manga/anime/game, we have to play its personality as an actor on conventions, on stage and above all during the photo shoots. For me, the cosplay is a way to out of the daily life and to dream.

3. What and when was your first cosplay?

My first cosplay was created during the summer 2009 and was Konan, a character from Naruto.

4. What is your most memorable cosplay experience?

My most memorable cosplay experience is certainly my first pass (time?) on stage during the individual contest of the South Japan Expo 2010 (Japan Expo sud in fr) which was a great moment of emotion and even more when I received the favourite (best pick) prize. In spite of the excitement and the stress generated by the contests, (they) made me want to chain the individual contests during the conventions.

5. What’s your favorite photo shoot?

World of Warcraft Robes of the Triumvirate cosplay

This is my favorite photo shoot.

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

I love Blood Elves from WoW because they are very beautiful however they remain demonic and diabolic.

7. Any cosplay plan in future?

My next cosplays still remain in the WoW’s universe:

a. Tier 11 Priest

b. Tier 6 Warlock

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

I think my costumes are … impossible to find on the market ^^. More seriously, I make all my costumes myself (costumes, dress, shoulder, weapon etc. all are created by me)

9. Any other cosplayers you like?

They can be seen here and here.

10. Do some changes happen to you after cosplay?

Cosplay gave me insurance in the everyday life thanks to the contests and took away my shyness. I learnt to control my stress and to improve my creation/realization skills. But cosplay brought me a lot of happiness!

11. Any advice you wanna share with cosplay newbies?

Never buy your cosplay on the internet! This doesn’t bring you any pleasure when you will wear your costumes. You have to know that when you make your costume yourself, you have a greater pleasure to show it and pass on stage and a bigger joy! My last advice: TAKE YOUR TIME to make your costume, be careful and hardworking!

Cosplayer Interviews – Nebulaluben

August 19, 2011August 19, 2011 Sherry

Leeloo Mina Lekatariba Laminatcha Ekbat D Sebat Cosplay

A stunning Final Fight Poison cosplay performance drew our attention at the first glimpse days ago. Now, that pretty Spanish girl, known as Nebulaluben at DA, accepts our interview. Below, you can see what she thinks of cosplay and experience shared by her – an experienced and excellent cosplayer absolutely. Now, let’s begin.

1. Please introduce yourself first.

My name is Laura, I’m from Madrid (Spain) and I’m an occupational therapist. My main hobbies are playing videogames, playing the piano and, of course, cosplaying. I usually cosplay with my boyfriend, Erikku-kun, who supports and helps me.

2. What does cosplay mean to you?

Cosplay means creativity. It’s an art! I love sewing and wearing beautiful and eye-catching looks and clothes that I can’t wear on my everyday life. I also like it when I make or see a cosplay of a character I love. It’s as if, for one day, fiction comes to life! I have a fantastic time while cosplaying, from the moment I decide the costume I’m going to make till the day I am wearing it at the con or at a photoshoot. But, above all, cosplay means lots of fun for me.

Warfare Cosplay

3. What and when was your first cosplay?

My first cosplay was Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. It was in 2009.

4. What is your most memorable cosplay experience?

That day we were wearing our Lost Planet 2 costumes (on may 2011) on stage and people started applauding so enthusiastically when they saw our Gatling Gun working. It was a very exciting moment for us. Here you can watch it.

5. What’s your favorite photo shoot?

Soulcalibur Talim Cosplay

I find it quite difficult to choose one photoshoot. We are very lucky to have wonderful photographers as friends and they make each photoshoot better than the previous one so… Maybe If I had to choose one I would choose my favorite costume, which is Talim from Soul Calibur IV.
Juri Han Cosplay Or this one from Street Fighter, because we took really funny pics.

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

More than a character, I like to cosplay as one type of character in general. I usually cosplay as warrior women. I don’t like kawaii or precious princess characters. I like characters who wear weapons and who are strong and self-sufficient ones. And I usually cosplay as video game or Sci-Fi characters.

7. Any cosplay plan in future?

Yes! I have almost finished Satele Shan costume from Star Wars The Old Republic, I’m also making Tali’Zorah Vas Normandy from Mass Effect 2 and Rinrin (with my boyfriend as Black Baron) from Madworld.

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

I always make them myself. My boyfriend and I are a team: I like sewing and he’s very handy making props. So I sew our costumes and he usually makes the weapons.

Zafina Cosplay

9. Any other cosplayers you like?

I like Jia Jem, Love Squad, Ichigokitty, Yukigodbless, Fevereon, Volpin Props, Evil-FX, Adelhaid… And from Spain I love Virchan, Zihark, Lirin, Sumyuna, Onirica… They inspire me a lot and we are good friends too.

10. Do some changes happen to you after cosplay?

I began cosplaying because I finished my studies and I had a lot of free time. That situation made me begin having anxiety crisis, so I was recommended to have a full time hobby. Cosplaying makes me stay busy and not think about problems. I’ve also known lots of wonderful people while cosplaying and this hobby lets me stay calm and creative.

11. Any advice you wanna share with cosplay newbies?

Make the cosplays you like and have fun!
