I’m very excited to take a break from my school work to attend C2E2 in Chicago this year. I’m going to be cosplaying all three days, and can’t wait to see what other people have cooked up for the convention. Cosplaying is my “blow off steam” activity during the school year, and I really enjoyed constructing two new cosplays for the convention – Bombshell Batwoman and Fetch Walker from Infamous: Second Son.
My first article is live on CCGC Libraries! I’m very excited to join their staff, and plan on contributing an article a month to the website.
This month’s article is about cosplaying on a budget. I want to create a look for the characters I cosplay – at whatever cost. But realistically, I do not want to spend $200+ creating the perfect incarnation of that character. I based my first article on a recent Zatanna cosplay I did that really taught me to hunt the internet (and my own closet) for the best items to complete the costume.
