World of cosplay what to know

Friday 12 August 2016


Hello bloggies!

How are you?

I'm so excited to share that YES I did it! I finally surrendered to this fun I longed for and cosplayed for the first as one of my favourite characters : Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji ( Black Butler ).
I had so much fun and meet a lot of creative and nice people that performed well and had worked so much on their costume designs. If you are reading this: You are awesome and you should be proud of it!
On my side, my first plan was to purchase the original costume but as the shipping would not make it before the event, I decided to get creative with my own clothing and I'm pretty proud of the result.



Overcoming fear : Judgement

Friday 5 August 2016

Hey bloggies,
How are you all doing?

Lately I have been keen on letting go of an inner fear.
During a meditation, I came to realize that it had no reason to exist, and the only person blocking my fun was myself.
Some may know this, but I am fond of anime and manga ( japanese cartoons).
Aside from watching, I enjoy to study also the way characters, background are drawn and how the animation is being performed.
This allows me to gain new techniques and personalize it with my own drawing manga style.
But aside from the anime, the reading, the music and the language that also pleases me, there is another theme that got my attention over the years and it's cosplay.

I love to watch cosplayers interpreting anime characters, creating short (sometimes humourous) skits about a manga or telling its tale on stage while parading in the costume, sometimes sewed with their own hands.
A tiny voice in my head whispered timidly : I want to do that, it sounds fun.

But past experiences had let me install a fear that blocked me from doing so: judgement.
