A Little About Me

Hi guys! I’m Shadab, an amateur cosplayer from Dhaka the capital city of Bangladesh.

I spend most of my time watching Anime, playing World of Warcraft and catching up on tech related stuff. I also run a small online Anime merchandise shop where I try to provide stuff that Anime fans here can’t buy.

It hasn’t been a year that I started cosplaying. My first cosplay was actually a complete disaster. But on my second attempt I put all my effort into it and Hidan came to life.

I am currently trying to encourage cosplaying in my country where there are no serious cosplayers. So for the first time in history I wanted to represent my country and show that even we Bangladeshi’s can cosplay.

Me being a finalist is all thanks to the huge support I got from the people of my country and those outside who voted for me.

I would specially love to thank all my friends and the Anime fans of Bangladesh who took their time and voted for me, if not gathered more by sharing. Hopefully me being a finalist will encourage a new generation of cosplayers here and finally the cosplay culture will grow.

Description: This was my first time cosplaying seriously and my second attempt at cosplay actually. From the costume to the scythe was more or less easy. Even making a forehead protector including the Jashin-sama necklace wasn’t that hard. What totally took away my motivation when cosplaying Hidan was the body paint. I swear I almost gave up 10 times and threw away the brush during the 5 hour painting process. Seemed easy but sitting and painting your body for 5 hours just kills your determination. Well in the end everything fell into place and the cosplay came out quite close to my expectations but not perfect though. Regardless I was still happy with the outcome.
