Deviation Actions
1. What was your first cosplay?
Robin Sena from Witch Hunter Robin. I wore her to my first convention, Otakon 2004.
2. Did someone get you into cosplay? Or on your own?
I got myself into it. Otakon's website mentioned cosplay, one thing led to another, and eventually I was browsing the Cosplay.com galleries thinking, "Hey, I could do this, too!"
3. What is your favourite cosplay?
It's hard to pick a favourite, but I have to admit my fondest memories are of Naruto. I worked really hard to make him accurate and well-constructed (seeing as the fandom doesn't have the best reputation), and it was just WAY too much fun being a little stinkpot. The shenanigans, oh the shenanigans.
4. Which is your least favourite?
Gaara & Shippuden Gaara. A nightmare I willingly inflicted on myself and my friends not once, but TWICE. :C
5. At conventions, do people compliment you on your cosplays?
Generally. Though oddly, the costumes that have gotten the biggest reactions have been my shittiest. LOL.
6. How many have you done?
Somewhere upwards of 50? I lost track a long time ago.
7. What are the top 5 on your list of "Want to Cosplay?"
1) General Beatrix (FFIX) - In Progress for Summer 2010
2) "Fall" Tink (Tinker Bell & the Lost Treasure) - In Progress for Summer 2010
3) Makoto Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell: SAC) - Planned for Summer/Fall 2010
4) Secret McSecret (Blah Blah Blah Blahblah) - Planned for Summer/Fall 2010
5) Summoner Yuna 2.0 (FFX) - Planned for Fall 2010
8. What female cosplay do you want to do most?
Right now I'm really psyched for Kusanagi, since I've been streaming GitS on Netflix. Her design is radically different from anything I've ever made, and I'm anxious to see how it goes. Plus almost all of my photographer friends LOVE the show, so I know i can count on super badass pictures.
9. What male cosplay do you want to do most?
Kiddy Chrno from Chrno Crusade. I have dreamed of making him for YEARS, and the time has never been quite right. Maybe one day.
10. What do you prefer to do, make or buy your costumes?
I make all of my costumes.
11. Your most memorable experience? What makes it so memorable?
Gag cosplaying Team Rocket with Kate. We threw our costumes together in maybe 10 minutes and were literally swamped at the convention. It made me realize, "WOW. This Pokemon thing is OUT OF CONTROL." (Apologies, but I'm not a fan.)
12. Your dream cosplay?
I honestly don't have one anymore. Every costume I make anymore is a little bit of a dream, since I never thought I'd have the skills to make half the things I do nowadays. Maybe Danielle's "Just Breath" gown from "Ever After?"
13. Is there a pattern in your cosplays? If so, what?
Final Fantasy? LOL, I'm absolutely taken with this series and I love the characters so much. I will not stop until I've cosplayed them all, I swear!
14. Your most recent cosplay?
Human Luna (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) and Tinker Bell (Disney Fairies). I don't think Leonard (Big Bang Theory) counts, LOL.
15. What do you prefer? Cosplaying in a group or on your own?
I don't have a particular preference. If all groups were low-stress, I would definitely pick "group," but unfortunately things rarely go smoothly.

Tess Cosplay on FB + A-Fest Plans.
Hi guys! This past week Facebook purged all accounts with the word "Cosplay" in their name. I have heard that some people received a warning that this would be happening, but sadly I received no notice -- just an error page when I tried to load my Facebook on Tuesday evening. :C Apparently Facebook's goal in this was to force cosplayers to open a "fan page" through their personal account. While I can certainly respect their preference for everyone to use their true name, I do not have that option, being a teacher and public servant. Anything linked to my personal name, email, phone number, etc. is an open book for my school district, and thou
Otakon 2012.
Hi guys! I will be at Otakon in Baltimore, MD this weekend. If you happen to spot me, don't be a stranger! I love to be able to attach faces/personalities with your screennames here on DA. I have been working hard on 3 new costumes for this convention: a new Terra Branford based on artwork by Sakizou, Child Rydia from Final Fantasy IV, and Lightning's Aya Brea outfit from Duodecim Dissidia. I'll also be bringing Eternal Neptune.
Are you attending Otakon? If you are cosplaying, what characters are you bringing to the con?

Daily Deviation + How NOT to Treat a Cosplayer.
First of all, a big thank you to everyone who congratulated me on my recent Daily Deviation! It was a very nice surprise to wake up to!
:thumb258161774:
"Cure" is a set of images from one of my favourite cosplay photographers, Jack Liu (alucardleashed (https://www.deviantart.com/alucardleashed)), and I'd encourage everyone to check out his other work here on DeviantART! On my end, it's a really nice feeling to get one last little smidge of recognition for a costume as old and worn as Terra. I've received almost 6,000 messages over the course of the past few weeks and am steadfastly sorting through and replying to them, but it will probably be quite a while before I've completely

Yay for Chrno Crusade! Such a sad but good series. You'd be super cute.
