Quote of the Indistinct Time Period

Something everyone in the cosplay community ought to remember.

At the tender age of 13, Ysabel ~SavingSunlight seems to have a greater understanding of this hobby and a bigger heart than some people who are far older than she is.

"Cosplay is for fun. It's a misunderstood hobby with a good and bad side. If everything is going good in your cosplay, keep it up just don’t lose your head in its fictional world. Keep priorities like family and school in order. If things aren’t great, do not be disheartened from doing what you love. As long as you are having fun, keep going!

It’s a different kind of happy-high when you are among fellow cosplayers but at the end of the day, it only matters if you enjoyed yourself or not. It’s not about popularity or pageviews, having fans or not, being better than others... no. It’s about expressing yourself through a character you love and sharing it with others.

Hopefully, you’ll make friendships that will last even when the costumes are faded, wigs worn out and cameras stop flashing."

Do you have something you want to ask? I'm still on the losing end of the epic battle with my dA message center and email inbox, so you may want to check out our Frequently Asked Questions section for quick answers. :D

Video footage from last weekend's con, filmed by our very talented friend Resh Haydee / ~Reskiy! I usually share pictures, but I think his videos make you feel all the more like you were there.

To give you a little preview of just some of the things you'll see in the video:







1. I am unable to keep a serious face for too long
2. Melo ~BallistaShark shopping for furry ears
3. Batman taking pictures with the Batcam, and posing with pirates
4. Domo-kun!
5. Chinese Good Luck Cat pose
6. Nothing wrong with a little bromance cuddle
7. Ysabel ~SavingSunlight as Taiga in her angel costume, and Bok ~Somemaskedude as Ryuuji from Toradora
8. Too much adorables






1. Persona 4 teammates walking
2. Youthful Dinner!
3. A good bro helps a bro fix his hair
4. Kat ~moonlightflight being... Kat
5-6. Persona 4 trainnnnnnn
7. Myk ~DorkyDea (Yosuke) and Dom ~Weakman (Kanji) show off the Kanji fanart that Dom got from Doro
8. Brojima shows us how to fight, 300 style. He's using Mel's Tomoe Gozen helmet and banana naginata with Miguel ~merkymerx's Captain America shield (the process for which you can see here :pointr: [link])

So yeah, go watch Resh's video! :D He's fantastic at what he does!

And here's a photo of our Persona 4 group (minus Margaret and Tomoe Gozen because they wouldn't be at Aiya) from last Sunday:


And from my Facebook page, here's a short video clip from dinner (with several hiimdaisy comic dub references)

We met a lot of awesome and very sweet people! Thank you guys for taking the time to come talk to us and supporting Tuxessories, the Japanese schoolbag charity and our friends at Alice and Rabbit's Shop! :)

Hi, I'm Jin.
I like painting,
I enjoy taking pictures,
I'm happiest on rainy days,
and I'm not very good at introductions.

Most of you are probably here because you've seen me dressed as cartoon characters. I actually do other things apart from that, such as photography, digital illustration and traditional painting. That's what I do as a freelance artist.

Apart from that I enjoy spending my time blogging and sharing snapshots and bits of my life with anyone who cares to look. I'm always looking for ways we can make the world a better place even through the littlest things.

Avatar Info

It doesn't bend air or anything, but I still think it's pretty cool.

My avatar was a gift from ~JadeLand, and she also made matching Tuxedo Team icons for Kat ~moonlightflight, Miguel ~merkymerx, Nejin ~ceruleanmorning and China !snowpeachdrop. They hold a lot of sentimental value for us so we'd appreciate if you don't steal them! Thank you! :D

:iconbehindinfinity::iconmoonlightflight::iconmerkymerx::iconceruleanmorning::iconsnowpeachdrop:


NOTE: I've been asked this a lot so I thought I should explain. China (snowpeachdrop) is still in our company, but no longer indulges in the hobby of cosplay due to other aspects of life that she chooses to dedicate her time to. She deactivated her account because she no longer feels that her work there represents who she is as an artist. That's all there is to it. :)

Jin,

Just got acquainted with your deviantArt account last night and have not been able to stop looking at your pictures since. XD I'm really happy to know that there is a fellow Filipino who has so much passion for cosplaying and art as a whole.

It would be an honor to meet such a talented cosplayer, artist and photographer such as you in person someday. :)

I wish you the best of luck with not only cosplaying, but also in every other aspect of your life.

-warderscloak

P.S. Your descriptions for each cosplay shoot were a delight to read. :D

I don't like to define myself. I just am.

What ever people say that I am, that's what I'm not.

I shall live out all of my fantasies, and most of yours too

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good
