MIKE : A couple months ago, I was messaging with my friend Lizology Cosplay and she replied with a GIF of Tim and Al. The lightbulb went off immediately and I told her, “You just gave me an idea!!” Since I have dark hair and beard, I didn’t really need to do much to be Al, so …
Rouge the Bat from Sonie the Hedgehog // Cosplayer : Skye Spectrum // Photo : Kanatography Cosplay has given me such confidence to be the person I want to be, by being something/someone else. I finally get to be that fierce character that I’ve admired for so long. After every convention, even if I don’t cosplay—my favorite …
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy // Cosplayer : Bill Alexander // Photo: Steady Shark I’ve always really been into FF7. I was kind of inspired by the guy who made the Polygon Cloud outfit years ago. I even contacted him for a few questions. The costume is hard to hear and talk out of it, so it’s …
Jake the Dog from Adventure TimeCosplayer : Momochi Cosplays The idea for this Jake cosplay cake to me while I was driving back from Otakon (an anime convention in Washington DC) when I saw that John DiMaggio was listed as a guest on Fan Expo Boston’s website. I have been a fan of Adventure Time since I …
Flareon from Pokemon // Cosplayer : Chaos in Motion When I first discovered cosplay, the most common response I received…was no. No. You cant make that. No. You can’t wear that.

There was no captain marvel/rapunzel artwork I saw at the time… I was actually going to cosplay a Thor/Rapunzel mashup UNTIL I decided to …
Some folks thought it was just a cute baseball thing. Others came right up to us and started gushing about how they loved the movies and wanted to talk shop. And there were a few who shared stories with us about how their own family members were actually in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League …
Naga from Heroes of Might and Magic // Cosplayer : Going Ape Costume I only scared one child this time….usually my cosplays scare more kids! I took off my mask and declared I was just a funny looking lady. Otherwise I was just metering how long I could comfortably wear the costume because when I did …
I grew up watching movies like The Dark Crystal as a child, and was so excited to see the new Netflix show. I do not cosplay often, only when something really inspires me, and this time it was Skekso the Emperor from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. He is such an evil and fun …
At cons I had many people double take not realizing what the costume was made of. Fuse Beads aren’t too popular so many people thought the outfit was made of Legos instead. Seeing so many amazing cosplayers portray Gal Gadots version of Wonder Woman I was inspired to make one of my own. However, I …
