Hi Readers
It’s time for another cosplay interview, this time we meet Agent Barton Cosplay! I like Agent Barton’s attention to detail with her accessories, it’s refreshing to find a cosplayer who spends as much time on the accessories as the rest of the outfit. Let’s find out some more about Agent Barton Cosplay.
1) How did you get into cosplaying?
I went to my first convention around 5 years ago. It was Wizard World Philadelphia. I fell in love that day and I decided to try it for myself. I discovered that I’m pretty good at it and I enjoy doing it more than anything.
2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?
I get inspiration from a lot of different content areas. Recently I have been cosplaying a lot of video game characters. I play a lot of games and it’s fun to bring the characters to life. I watch a lot of anime now and those characters are tons of fun to portray.
3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?
A lot of my clothing items that I need are thrifted and modified, I make all of my props myself and they can be pretty difficult. The trickiest costume I have made was Princess Peach. I made the skirt from scratch and it was very difficult to bring the shape of it to life. I love the way it turned out.
4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?
It’s tough to decide! Each costume is like a child to me. My favorite cosplay is a tie between Zero suit Samus and Borderlands Harley Quinn. They are a lot of fun at conventions.
5) If you’ve cosplayed at a convention what was the experience like?
I love the experience so much. It’s so amazing to see and admire everyone’s work. It’s a great place for cosplay frineds to get together and share ideas and gush over everyone else’s talent.
6) Can we expect to see you at any conventions this year?
Nothing is set in stone yet but I am hoping to make it to Baltimore Comic con, possibly NYCC, the Four State Winter Pop Con, and Kastucon early next year.
7) If you could cosplay as anyone and budget wasn’t an issue who would it be?
Right now I am working on a full Metroid suit. We are 3D printing every piece. It is being done slowly because of budget. If budget wasn’t an issue I would love to make the full suit as soon as possible, maybe with more expensive materials.
8) Do you have any words of advice for up and coming cosplayers?
Keep practicing! Keep in mind that every cosplayer You admire had to start somewhere. Don’t be discouraged if something doesnt turn out the way You wanted it to. Try again! Do not be afraid to contact your mentors and cosplayers you look up to for help. I love receiving questions about my work and I want to help others in any way I can!
