A Little About Me
Hello! This is the person behind the craziness. Cosplay is my favorite hobby while I work professionally as a graphic designer. I'm born in Brazil, but this year I moved to The Netherlands to live with my husband and proclaimed cosplay photographer. I think cosplay is not just a person dressing up, but a person using his/her skill, trying to actually be another character.

Cosplay 1
Character: Link
Series: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Description: I fell in love for the Legend of Zelda games since my childhood, just like many people did. Everything related to this game holds wonderful memories to me, including the good story and the fun I had with it.
I spent almost 4 years wishing to have my own Twilight Princess costume before I actually started it. Back then I only had a wig (that was great deal at a fantasy/carnaval related store in my hometown). Everything is hand-made, the Hylian Shield is mostly made of paperboard and glue and took me three months of hard work. The Master Sword is made of wood and metallic paint. The elf ears are made of latex. By this time I didn’t have experience with buying stuff via internet so it was...tough! But in the end everything fits perfectly!
Link is the true and pure hero that I admire the most. I would make this costume anyway, no matter how difficult and detailed it can be. I’m still planning to do much more Zelda related costumes.

Cosplay 2
Character: Seto
Series: Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Description: Fragile Dreams is a bit of an unknown game. The genre is survival horror in a post-apocalyptic time. Seto, a boy that searches for survivors in a lonely world, is the main character. I have to say that I wasn't the biggest survival horror fan until I tried this game. The story is so deep, I really wanted to portray this character and the game's essence.
About the costume, I was still sewing accessories to the clothes on the morning of the convention! It was a lot of work to craft everything but the result is very satisfying. The funniest detail is the necklace; it was made of a chocolate package! My stomach approved the creativity, omom.

Cosplay 3
Character: Sebastian Michaelis
Series: Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler
Description: Sebastian is a demon butler of an anime series called Kuroshitsuji (Japanese name). I like his elegance and toughness. Everything in the story is a bit over the top, which is pretty normal for anime series. I feel identified and I love how this character can always take care of... everything! He is in fact a hell of a butler haha.
The costume is simple to do, but it still takes some effort if you really want to find the most beautiful cloth for it, the best buttons, the best wig...that’s what I aimed for and I hope to never get some extra weight, because the suit is very, I mean VERY tight! But it is very fun to wear and to play with.
