MEET A COSPLAYER
ALICIA BOYCE
Pop Boom Entertainment: Ok. So let me start off with morning .How long were you cosplaying?
Alicia Boyce:Morning lol. Well this year will be my 3rd
I love your first cosplay by the way. I love Harley Quinn
Thanks big fan of harley
I am a huge fan of Harley Quinn also from small. How do you choose a character to cosplay?
I go with characters I'm familiar with or like. I grew up on video games and dc comics so i tend to do those characters more
What were your favorite games growing up?
Mortal kombat, soul calibre, final fantasy, legends of zelda and silent hill. Just to name a few.
Are you thinking about cosplaying anyone
from Mortal Kombat or Final Fantasy in
the future?
Mortal kombat will be this year. I haven't
decide if I will be doing a final fantasy
character yet but if i do it will be from ff7
Nice. Looking forward to see what you will be doing.
Hopefully it will be awesome.
I loved your hawkgirl by the way. How long did it take you to do the wings?
Foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
LOL
And thanks I thought it was a bit over ambitious with that
You have to go big, push yourself. I bet before you never thought someone would be able to make wings
True lol that was definitely a learning experience
As a cosplayer myself when I finish a piece of a costume I look at it surprised that I actually made it. It is a rush
Yes it is especially for someone like me who is not artistic at all
What made you want to cosplay as Hawk Girl.
Like I said big fan of dc and the justice league series and she was/is my favorite female character.... after harley
I always admired her strength and I love Harley so much. I am definitely cosplaying as her next year for day one of animekon.
Looking forward to seeing it.
How long did it take you to do Harley Quinn
That long I was toying with the idea since the beginning of animekon and i put it off for the first 2 years, the 3rd year when I finally decided it was too late and expensive to order a costume so i did some research and came up with a way to put the costume together.
I love the detail you put into it and the boots.
It wasn’t done from scratch i got two pairs of leggings cut them in half and stitch them back together lol.
I am terrified to try to sow pants. I have never stitched a day in my life before I got my machine this year so ..lol. I would have probably done the same.
The hardest part was making the hammer
What materials did you use?
Board and the handle was a toy baseball bat, cardboard, and I learn to paper mache lol I love that stuff now.
How many costumes are you wearing this year at animekon V?
Um 3 and I'm toying with the idea of doing an alternate costume for my mortal kombat cosplay so it may be 4
I thank you for your time Alicia and I will like to take a picture with you in your mortal kombat cosplay at AnimeKon
Well I want one with you in your akasha loveeeeeeeeee anne rice and queen of the damn
We will definitely take pictures
No problem I was honored.
