Personal Statement

Hello! I'm Anna,

By week days I'm a student but by weekends I'm a cosplayer also known online as ElectroCosplay.

I create costumes based on fictional characters in my best attempts to bring them to life in the real world.

In order to achieve this task I work with different materials, from the finest silks to brute wood and metals. Sowing and sanding away until I can bring fantasy to real life. I have also created a few character inspired costumes of my own personal design based on the character's original looks, and I still have some original designs I have yet to bring into the real world.

International cosplay day 2016 award

My work has been featured in a few cosplay related blogs, as well as small online interviews, a live televised interview for the Japanese channel WoWoW, and magazine features in both CosplayNYC and Cosplay Culture. I have also won 2 awards so far from the International Cosplay Day and Nerdy Ninja TV.

Although I don't enter many competitions, I plan to start entering more in the future.

Characters that inspire me are characters I feel that i can connect to at some personal level, instead of just doing something because its currently popular, I like to research the characters and therefore make my costumes more personalized. 

I have also made costumes based on my own charters on MMOs that I play on my spare time.

Although plenty of people cosplay for money (being payed to attend events or sponsor certain products) I prefer dedicating my cosplays to the fun of the activity and for the experience. I enjoy seeing kids exited to interact with me at events, meeting others who enjoy the same fandom, and sharing tips and tricks with other fellow cosplayers.
