Hi Readers

It’s time for another cosplay interview, this time we meet Prince Roxy Chan! The cosplays here were struly stunning, that’s what made me want to find out some more about her.  Let’s find out some more about Prince Roxy Chan.



 

1) How did you get into cosplaying?

It all started back in 2007 when I saw some Kingdom Hearts cosplayers on youtube make dorky videos, It was one of my all time favorite games and I really wanted to be my favorite characters from the game really inspired me to make my first cosplay roxas. Now I cosplay sora crazy how much i’ve improved. I later on around 2013 started getting more serious with my hobby and started looking into how to sew with a machine and not hand sew stuff since it was too time consuming. Especially since I wanted to do more complicated characters.

2) Where do you get your inspiration and ideas to cosplay from? Is it from programs you watch now or childhood programs or both?

My biggest inspiration has been Square Enix characters from Kingdom Hearts to Final Fantasy characters and a lot of Zelda they’re so beautiful! A big one is my childhood Magical Girls, my mom raised me on a lot of them from Sailor Moon, to Creamy Mami and Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne just a huge inspiration to me and big part of what I cosplay from.  

3) How do you put your outfits together are they 100% from scratch and if so what’s been your trickiest part to date?

For me most of my costumes are either from scratch or ones I bought years back and have modified 98% from me scraping them and the seams and resewing them haha! I have to say my trickiest was my krul tepes dress I had to hand sew in a day before the convention since my sewing machine died on me, so many ruffles and ribbons still haunts me in my sleep! But usually costumes aren’t too hard for me i’d say the characters props are.

4) What’s your favourite cosplay to date?

My favorite is Sora from kingdom hearts, bringing him to life is a huge accomplishment. He was a huge part of my childhood and to look and act like him with other fans and make them freak out over my outfit have to say that was one of best experiences. Some of the most purest happiest fans I’ve seen at conventions.

5) If you’ve cosplayed at a convention what was the experience like?

It all depends on what convention you go to I prefer mid sized conventions especially if you’re cosplaying it’s not so over crowded and can make good friends at them. Cosplaying at conventions is not the same as being a convention goer totally different feel especially the stares you get and having people stop you for pictures each minute! Everyone has to try it at least once if you enjoy cons it’s an amazingly fun experience.

6) Can we expect to see you at any conventions this year?

Just finished anime expo just going to go to Sabakon in aug and maybe saboten in september that will be all for this year till next year Otakon Vegas and ALA!

7) If you could cosplay as anyone and budget wasn’t an issue who would it be?

Really want to do winged Princess Serenity but she’s gonna cost me a bit of an arm a dream cosplay for next year!

8) Do you have any words of advice for up and coming cosplayers?

Just dork out and cosplay for the fun of it, do characters you whole heartedly love. Don’t cosplay for the fame of it and attention if you don’t have fun with a hobby it becomes a chore. Go make friends and have a fun experience it feels 10 times better. I wouldn’t give up the memories I have for anything in the world and people i’ve met through it all.

9) Where can we find you online?
