Living up in a childhood full of expressions of love for cartoon heroes on comics and magazines, you have somehow enveloped a longing to be the one wearing the hero suit and be able to portray your favorite hero’s personality and characteristics. In the modern times, cosplaying can be considered to be one of those recent activities involving one to wear the costume of the heroes they love and go about posing an extraordinary show like as if it would have happened in a live comic show. Cosplaying has been derived from various sources of inspiration such as manga, magazines, comics and virtual games. Some even are taken from pop culture. These inspirations spur the idea of what costumes to wear and what attitude should be portrayed.
Costumes – how it is conceptualized
When a person cosplays, a very vital and important link of the person to its favorite character being portrayed is the costume. The costume will tell who the person is characterizing and what kind of inspiration the person is up to. In the world of cosplayers, there is an understanding that each of the person who cosplays should already know what they are to do when they are to meet in a convention. It only means that during the time they have conceptualized their character, they should act and make do what they should with their costumes. Typical cosplayers would don on suit made with basic fabric with colors matching the color of a character’s clothes. The person bearing the character should somehow complete their characterization by completing their facial expressions with the expression the characters should portray as well as paraphernalia and other props.
Popular among men and women
In a cosplay convention, you would not be surprised to see your favorite characters roaming by and showing their great skill and talents in a cosplay. Both men and women find cosplay entertaining. Not only is that it because of the variety of colors and designs of costumes to choose from. Men usually have to start with male characters, while women go for characters with highly attractive costumes and some even switch gender to accommodate characters of choice.
Why go for Cosplay?
