I recently acquired some pieces of my friend Alex's old Ed cosplay.
He was never going to wear it anymore, and I have always wanted to cosplay Ed so he gave the coat and the wig to me.

The coat he bought at a thrift store and modified it, using extra fabric to make a hood, but didn't get to hemming it. That'll be my job. ^-^
The wig was his first sharpie dying he did the day before YoumaCon '09 and it's really bright ILR but it'll do for now, till I can get my own wig. ^^

So March 26th was Animarathon 2011!!
It was amazingly awesome for all the bad crap that happened, but I still had fun. ^-^

I spent about 12 hours on my feet, taking photos and running around, with my Yusei wig on. Also I have a small gash on my forehead from my wig cap...I wore my wig for about 12 hours....I'll never do that again. >.<

I took 295 photos altogether. Although I would've had 300+ but I accidentally deleted the Howl and Sophie shoot I had. T.T Those were great photos....OTL And they aren't in my Recycle Bin. :< I digress.

Photos:

DeviantART (Photos are..around xD)

See you all soon on my next update~

Introduction



Hi there! My name is Ritzy-kun, and I am a growing photographer and cosplayer.


This year I will start my journey as a cosplay photographer and hope to have fun and enjoy every minute. 


FAQ's: 


Why did you become a Cosplayer?


Well, my main inspiration to be a cosplayer came with my love of the fandom of Loveless, upon getting volume one of the manga at the age of 10. (the back says 16+ lol) I slowly developed a love for the main character, and wanted to dress up as him for Halloween that year.

After a few years I found Malindachan on YouTube and watched her cosplay videos and wanted to become more immersed in the world of Cosplay and Conventions. I got back into the Yugioh fandom thanks to her, and Little Kuriboh. :D

In 2009 I went to my first con. with my best friend. Even though it was a one day con. it was still a blast! I saw many amazing costumes and met lots of cool people. After that, my friend Kakumey and I (The friend I attended my first con. with) came up with an idea to make our own cosplay group, Isho-Cosplay, it's home base is on DeviantART and has almost 40 70 members!

Last year I wanted to start on a bunch of costumes, after re-watching Malinda's videos over, and over I became hooked on making costumes from the Yugioh fandom, and even make a fandom OC my alter ego in the Naruto world and cosplay him. I now have 10 30 cosplays done, mostly though thrift stores and closet cosplay.

I went to my second con. in June of 2010, I made tons of new friends and developed stronger bonds through cosplaying with people around in other states and countries as well. I had started on my Yusei Fudo cosplay (Yugioh 5D's) for the con. and had most of it done. My favorite aspect of the costume though is my wig. I put a week and a few days worth of time into it with a friend, and I've gotten many compliments, and some adults have even asked if it was my real hair! xD

Also, in 2009 I got a camera for my birthday, and I immediately started taking pictures of everything. When I saw Katsuya Welller's work I felt compelled to try my hand at cosplay photography as well, loving the aspect of it all, being behind the camera, taking photo for big shoots at cons. and even doing side shootings with friends and getting a 'good job' clap on the back for taking great photos.

As of now I will have been a cosplayer for four years. I will continue to develop and hone my skills in sewing, and creating things for cosplay, continue to hang out and make friends with people who share the same interest, and simply become a better person through it all.



What camera do you use?


I use a GE (General Imaging) Digital Camera C1033.
It's a good camera to start with and I'm working up to getting a better one~


Why Cosplay Photography?

Cosplay has been a bg part of my life fir the past few years now and photography is an undying passion of mine as well. I've seen Katsuya Weller's cosplay photography and was greatly inspired by it, wanting to try it for myself.
