Ryea: Which is your favorite character that you've cosplayed?

Ryea: Do you make your own costume & props ?
C: I made most of them from scratch. Is much easier naming ones I didn't made; Okita's shinsengumi uniform, Finland's uniform and Ciel's coat and shorts carousel version - base was made but I modified it to accuracy later.
Ryea: What is your favorite part when cosplay?
C: When it is a successful portrayal, and if you are in a team made up by friends is a huge bonus because is terribly fun.
Ryea: Any memorable experience when you cosplay?
C: I went to Taipei for a cosplay convention and it was so different from our culture. They are well-mannered and organized, we have so much to learn from them, especially in cosplay etiquette. But I can see Singapore improving year by year.
Ryea: Do you salute/idolize any cosplayer? Who?
C: Mostly friends XD Like Kanasaiii, Shuui and Lenneth. But I salute many other (or any other) cosplayers too for their superb efforts/workmanship.
Ryea: Any tips to share ? *for those new cosplayers
C: Think of cosplay as an entirety:
-1- study the character you should love, its costume and mannerism
-2- a good, proportional and accurate costume with the RIGHT materials
-3- a good styled wig
-4- an appropriate makeup accordingly to the character
-5- a photographer to help you do justice to your hard work and capturing a shot that is convincing in portrayal.
You have to think of the whole picture and not missing anything out as much as possible. Is a lot of work but it will be worth it, believe me.
and 3 super-random questions :
1) Do you have a pet?
C: Nope
2) How many pairs of shoes do you have now?
C: I have to deliberately point out that I have 5 pairs of Converse shoes
3) What is your least favorite colour?
C: Green
Ryea: And lastly, what do you think about Let's Cosplay~?
