Cosplay is now for the pros
In the past during comics convention, a new trend was forming with fans making amateurish appearance in outfit hand-made and this was to the delight of the artists and visitors.
But today this Art is actually at a stage where it surpasses the simple portraying of comics book or movie star characters. With amazing skills, crafts, excellent photographs, the cosplayers are now entering a new level where they are “becoming” the
characters.
The illusion is complete.
And their level of mastery is even pushing them into making variations or even upgrading the current character's outfit to new level of awesomeness.
Rising stars
On this blog
Crystal Graziano an outstanding cosplayer has been praised a couple of times - Since she has launched a video series ("
Project Cosplay") on how she makes her mind blowing outfit.
Nadya Sonika - Fan art
And it was mentioned that
Crystal Graziano is among the top brass of the North American cosplay - now there is a rising cosplay star in Mexico - she has the class, beauty and style making her the match to this new trend of cosplayers that are pushing the limits in designing outfits and cosplay.
Her name is
Nadya Sonika - this post is an homage to her magnificent creations.
She has fan herself (and like many cosplayers today artist are drawing her and sending "fan art").
Which is quite a prowess, since cosplay (short for "costume play") is a type of performance art in which participants wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character, and then now cosplayers themselves can have fan of their own.
Are we going to see a new type of fans cosplaying
Bellechere,
Jessica Nigri,
Katybear,
Megan Marie,
Queen Riot,
Crystal Graziano etc ... ?
Or movie with actual mainstream actress portraying cosplayers ? Well, that would be fun and I'll watch that for sure.
