Kuroshitsuji II: Alois Trancy 02

kuroshitsuji 2 cosplay - alois trancy 02Alois trancy acts as a foil to Ciel Phantomhive; a literary term for a character who contrasts with another character (in this case, Ciel) in order to highlight the various features of the other character’s personality. Ciel actually cares for people and causes while Alois is psychologically scarred, pathologically abusive, and calculative. By appearance, Ciel is seemingly indifferent, while Alois is quite energetic.

Cute cosplay by ~MichiMichi-Miku! I love the way she’s posing for the camera and her boots are absolutely stunning! Thanks to ~JusticecanTrustMeX3 for the awesome photography and Cherokee for sending this in!

gyakuten saiban 3 / phoenix wright: ace attorney - trials and tribulations cosplay - hondobou kaoru / jean armstrongThe eccentric chef and owner of the French restaurant Trés Bien, Hondobou Kaoru also known as Jean Armstrong is very passionate about cooking, but fails in making palatable dishes. Worse, the food he serves is ridiculously overpriced, driving his customers away. Jean is very flowery with his mannerisms and aims to please, but is also easily bullied.

Now isn’t this one of the most adorable, if not epic, cosplays you’ve ever seen? Thanks to Letty for sending this!

Sailor Moon: Sailor Moon

sailor moon cosplay - sailor moonA schoolgirl in 20th Century Tokyo, Usagi is a well-intentioned, underachieving crybaby who prefers the life of a normal teenage girl. While fighting the evils of her past life as Sailor Moon, Usagi quickly matures and learns to make decisions for herself, becoming a true princess of the fallen Moon Kingdom.

At least, that’s how she is in the original manga!

I know she's Sailor Moon, but I'm a little confused as to which season from the metaseries she's from. Her hairclips make it look like she's from SuperS, but I don’t think the sleeves are right. And gold armbands? I’m really confused. Thanks again to Pikori for sending this, though!

Shaman King: Asakura Yo

shaman king cosplay - asakura yo

When Asakura Keiko gave birth to twins, the reincarnated Asakura Hao was separated into two halves; Yo bore his human side while his twin brother who carried the same name as their ancestor bore his shaman side. Although he is only interested in becoming the Shaman King in order to fulfill his promise to his fiancée, Kyoyama Anna, Lady Sati gave him the honor of going to Hell to train himself. He was granted the power of purification and became one of the Five Elemental Warriors, gaining the Spirit of Earth.

A very convincing cosplay! Yo always seemed happy and bored at the same time, and this cosplayer really achieved his look flawlessly! Thanks to Pikori for sending this in!

Other than that, she's a superb photographer too! Her landscape shots are pretty!! ahh~




✩✩ INTERVIEW SECTION ✩✩

Ryea: What is COSPLAY to you?
Bringing something fictional to reality.


Ryea: When do you first started to cosplay?
2002


Ryea: How many characters have you cosplayed so far ?
I don't count them.

Tough question! Hijikata Toshiro from Gintama if I have to choose.


Ryea: Which is your first character?
Sailor Pluto


Ryea: Which characters is in your future cosplay list?
More Sheryl Nome because I love her costumes!(*≧▽≦)


Ryea: Do you make your own costume & props ?
Yes. Most of my props are made by a good friend.


Ryea: What is your favorite part when cosplay?
When I looked into the dressing mirror after putting on the wig, makeup and costume.


Ryea: Any good/funny/memorable experience when you cosplay?
Taking pictures with many cute children when I am cosplaying as Sheryl Nome. I guess all little girls want to be a pop star when they grow up!(^▽^)


Ryea: How and what have you think you've improved from since you started cosplay?
Thicker makeup now haha (`∇´)


Ryea: Do you salute/idolize any cosplayer? Who?
I admire many people for their dedication to the art.


Ryea: Any tips to share?
CosPLAY. Never take out the play. If it isn't fun, don't do it.


What do you think the basic requirement a cosplayer should have?

I don't believe in this if you take cosplay as a hobby.


and 3 random questions :

1) Do you prefer more in crossplaying? *Alto is real hawt!!
I don't have a preference actually. It all boils down to if I like the character and his/her design.

2) How long does it take for Myoubi's makeup? *it's really epic eyelashes just like the manga
I took quite awhile to achieve that!

3) Do you like photography too? The landscape shot is very nice *thumbsupupup
I love taking pictures of beautiful things!

Great site! Hope to see more cosplay photos on your site ヾ(@^∇^@)ノ
