Just introducing myself as I've been rubbish and not said hi yet :)
Im Jess and I'm kind of Orihime's second in command. I havent run any shows before but I've helped on quite a few, mostly the ones Orihimes done (isnt sure of how strict forum is on talking about other events >_<) As a result I've seen pretty much everything that needs to be improved and everything that realy doesnt work in a cosplay show.
Ive been cosplaying for about 3/4 years now. Most of the costumes I have made are from anime but I have two Battle Royale costumes and am currently, very tenuiously, working on a Blood Elf costume *is a WoW geek* I find it a lot easyer to make Anime costumes because I prefer to keep them simple and almost 2D. I personaly find film and game costumes a lot harder because there is more need for accuracy, I mean, lets face it, no one is ever going to look exactly like an anime character and if they did there must be something seriously wrong with them facialy
Other stuff I like include motorbikes, gaming and spending far to much time online.
a couple of my costumes can be seen here http://ravenmocara.deviantart.com/ and a couple on my myspace www.myspace.com/ravenmocara
I feel slightly intimidated by the level of skill everyone has here but I cant wait to see all your costumes!
