Cosplay
I started cosplay in 2016, after seeing everyone in costume in conventions and decided I wanted to make one. Since then, I caught the cosplay bug. Once I discovered there’s competitions, within 3 years I managed reach Master Level and Judge a few competitions as well. See all the awards I’ve accomplished here. Even at Master Level, we are still learning new technics to achieve new goals.
Below are the cosplay I’ve made to date and more to come!
