Cosplay compared to the real world

Personally I’ve loved cosplay but had not had the money to go all out and become my favourite characters from TV, films, games, manga and comics.
Last Year I wanted to go as Adewale from the game Assassins Creed: Black Flag. 
Another example I believe justice is basically one who is willing to sacrifice what he/she believes in or holds dear for the greater good.
When people get what they deserve 
This is represented in an anime called Fate/Stay Night.
Also being very interested in this anime I and some people I have known have cosplayed as the character archer who shares our beliefs.  

Archer 
His belief that he would continue to save many people as a Heroic Spirit did happen, but it was through being made to clean up after human actions and forced to take many lives to save humanity as a whole, instead of "saving everyone" - protecting humans without having to cause deaths of humans as he would have liked to. After seeing human self-destruction and forced to oppose his own ideals countless times, he began to deny himself and his ideal. 

Archer desperately came to believe that his only hope of release was to have himself summoned into an era where Shirou Emiya exists and kill his past self, hoping that the double paradox created by Shirou Emiya being killed before having a chance to make the contract with Alaya and that the killing was done by a Shirou Emiya who successfully made the contract with the world would create a time paradox great enough in magnitude that could potentially erase his existence as a Counter Guardian


His personality is very contradicting. While he is thoroughly cynical and nihilistic, he is at the same time devoted and protective, and even a little childish to the point that it makes him hard to hate. He doesn't lie, but he does keep secrets and tell half-truths. He means well and is capable of being nice, but often ends up being sarcastic, especially so when he gives advice. He cannot approve of Shirou’s ideal of becoming a Hero of Justice due to his own experience, but at the same time he cannot deny it due to the same reasons.





MCM Comic con Trip Birmingham 



My team of 5 went our adventure to comic con at Birmingham on the 19th march i gathered all the equipment 3 DSLR's a tripod and extra batteries , however the interview mic i had acquired from ravensbourne had no wire so i was unable to use it . which meant all the sound from the videos were not as clear as i wanted it to.
I did a Volg of the many hours of traveling to and from Birmingham.

I gathered a lot of information from cos-players at MCM about how they feel in and out of costume and the impact  they have on people initially I was very nervous and scared to approach people but my friends gave me courage and motivation to begin and follow through in interviews.

I saw so many interesting and bight characters and people also some unique and beautiful artwork from various stands and shows.

what I would change would have to be my performance during interviews , i was very nervous, also i wish I had a mic to capture more of the diolouge and finally my outfit i wanted to cosplay as Spyro the dragon.


Me interviewing a fantasy cosplayer , she had a very hyper and ecstatic personality and she says how her costume doesnt effect how hse is when she leaves the convention . its more of a fun day out to play around and enjoy being her chosen character. 


Deadpool and Tyler  


This mans entire outfit took weeks of planing months of creation. 
He would return again for london 2016 MCM however might be worried about how hot its going to be in the full suit on the day. 
This interested me in how dedicated the time and effort into the creation on the outfit. 
plus the devotin of wearing it in the up coming blistering heat soon to come in summer   


Scooby Doo Gang chased by Scarecrow 


Bleach character crafted his outfit out of light weight foam and surrounded it in a light steel frame to make it easy for mobility. 


When interviewing Morrigan i was curious on how she felt in that outfit surrounded by so many people. she says that it doesn't bother her she is confident in her outfit and doesn't mind the eyes that follow her. 



My Favorite cosplayer at Birmingham she jumped in and out of character at will and it was awesome how she portrayed the role of Harley quin  as not a sex symbol but as a total bad ass. Her costume was bought but the hammer was made by her . two bin together and costume designed by her
