Introduction - What is it like being a Cosplayer?

My name is Drakyun, I am 18 years old and just got in to cosplaying. Cosplaying is alot of fun, many people (like myself) love escaping reality to be someone other than themselves.

What are your next goals?

Philip J. Fryand Ash Ketchum are going to be my next cosplays

Cosplay Characters

My only two cosplays I have done so far are Battle Bunny Riven and Gray Fullbuster

What does Cosplay mean to you?

Cosplay is just a fun hobby that I want to explore more deeply in to. Hopefully it will be a lifestyle for me and my friends.

Who have been your biggest influences/role models/mentors?

Jayem Sison. Look him up. That is all..

Do you have any advice or suggestions for upcoming Cosplayers?

If people say bad things about your cosplay, ignore them. You cosplay for yourself, not anyone else.

What is the most negative experience you've dealt with while cosplaying, and how did you handle it?

Sexual harassment is a huge one so far. I just avoid the creepy people as much as possible. I love everyone equally, I just don't like being a victim of sexual harassment.

Any final remarks or shout-outs?

Love everyone who cosplays! Negativity is poison to having fun at conventions. Love you all! --drakyun
