Do you cosplay just during comic-cons and photoshoots, or do you have any other occasion to wear your cosplay for? At the moment I do mostly comic-cons, occasionally photoshoots. Last year I attended an event by Microsoft, precisely Windows Road Show 2017, where me and other cosplayers were invited to do a promo. It was very interesting experience and I hope there will be more of them.
Do you cosplay alone or in groups? I have done some groupcosplaying but mostly I cosplay by myself. Personally, it is better for me, because I don’ t have to discuss everything with everybody and I can do everything as I want.
How many cosplays have you made during your carrier as a cosplayer? If I count even the most first ones and the ones that didn’ t work out, maybe around 20 – 25. I believe it sounds like a giant number but some of them were really basic.
How do you make your cosplays? My local haberdasher is a perfect place to find most of the fabrics I need. Sometimes I couldn’ t get what I wanted, but I always dealt with it. When I do the armour I use EVA foam and Worbla, which I order usually from Poland. My weapons are mostly done from wood or polystyrene. If I do a thing that I have done before, I don’ t usually have problem with it. If it is a thing of unknown nature to me, I do it in a way trial and error.
When you create your cosplay, which part of the process is your most favourite? I like the beginnings, when I plan the cosplay, study the character, draw the sketches, write the list of the things I need … and when I finally start making the cosplay. It is a great feeling that I got myself into something new and I am unpatiently waiting what will come out of it.
And now the other side – which part of the process is your least favourite one? The waiting. I don’ t like when I have to wait until something sticks together, for example. It would be ideal if these things lasted at most few moments, but it is
