COSPLAYAUS PROFILE

Name:
Andrew Cameron (karasu666/kurai-kishi)

Gender:
Male

Location:
Ballarat/Geelong, Australia.

When did you start cosplaying?
Manifest 2008

What was your first cosplay?
First cosplay I made was technically Pantera Release Grimmjow (Bleach) however first one I wore was my Sweeny Todd Cosplay (Johnny Depp version)

How did you get into cosplay?
My friend Tim got me into more and more anime then whilst looking up these crazy conventions and such we stumbled onto cosplay and always wanted to get into it and i just decided one day that I had to do it.

Do you prefer cosplaying male or female characters?
Male, would just mess with peoples heads if I ever crossplayed

How many cosplays have you done?
Hmmmm took a while to count but 19 so far with another NEARLY finished

What are your favourite cosplays that you've done?
3 favs would be Yoshimitsu - was my first colourful and highly detailed cosplay where EVERYTHING down to the shoes were made from scratch, Ulquiorra: Segunda Etapa - mainly because retractable wings + digitigrade stilts will attract attention from long distances hehehe, and of course Dante - first cosplay where I didn't have to glue/paint/attach/etc anything onto me!!!

Are you part of a cosplay group?
Not technically a GROUP however there is a large number army of cosplayers assembling in Ballarat, I will also be featuring in multiple Group Cosplays throughout 2010/2011

What do you prefer to do, make or buy your costumes?
Make Make Make, its half the fun!!!

How much time do you usually spend making a costume?
It really depends, I mean the quickest cosplay I've made is around the 1-2 hour mark whilst some of the more complex ones were multiple days/nights of intense stressing. For some reason I can never be organised and stretch them out over a period of time and they are nearly all finished the night before/morning of a con.

What is your dream cosplay?
Hmm well atm my dream cosplay is Chaos form Vincent Valentine from FFXII Dirge of Cerberus. Its just SOOOO AWESOME with all that armour type look and epic wings!!!

Which conventions do you usually attend?
Try to get to every convention in Victoria (Supanova, Animania, Manifest, Armageddon) but this year hoping to travel around to others such as Wai-Con, Av-Con, Sydney Animiania, Brisbane Supanova etc.

Your most memorable cosplay experience?
Most memorable cosplay experience.... might be a few actually...
1. Manifest 2009: Ulquiorra - Right after the cosplay comp on the Sunday I wanted to go outside for a bit after sitting backstage dying whilst in cosplay and let people get photos while I actually had my wings on. Anyway I wouldnt fit through the normal door so the guys there were awesome and opened up the big electric roller-doors for me to make an exit out of, so I walk out (being 9ft tall with 5m wide wings) right into a crowd that all freak out and cameras come out left right and centre XD
2. Armageddon 2009: Dante - Walking from the backpackers down the road to the convention centre when a police car drives past us as I'm pushing the crossing button with my sword from like 1m away when the care mounts the centre of the road, turns around, puts its lights/sirens on and I panic thinking we're gonna be arrested and they turn infront of us and drive away..... -__-
