Cosplay Journey - The Return (Prologue) part 01
Will I ever return to the Cosplaying Hobby after the Event that turned very sour? Will I ever go back to Cosplay without ever to "perform" in social media or even post? Will I ever go back and enjoy cosplay although no one will ever see it other than yourself?
This is, an intro to my Cosplay project, or mini project in a form of blog post that is scattered, yes. But the point is not to make it a portfolio.
I will not focus on what are the bad things happened in the Cosplay Community that made me refused to go to anime conventions ever for years. But I want to do the opposite of what is unfortunately normalized, as follows:
I will only make photoshoots but only based on my existing costume. I will not buy another new one. Even photoshoot settings will be using based on the most basic equipments I have at my home. This way I'll focus more on the stories and how I'll mix it with blender 3D scene. The point is to make it look human-touch than making it very seamless
I want to make this like my own theatrical stage, so I want to practice confidence in "another persona". I want to be comfortable in my own feature. This is an act of rebellion against the idea of "not woman enough to cosplay" or "not qualified"
Not doing it for the algorithm, so not posting on social media at all other than this blog. Yes this is why I delete my entire cosplay account instagram: I focused way on the cosplay drama than the actual craft. I hated it.
I think that's really it for the bullet points! If you see this blog post shared, congrats you are part of the people who I am comfortable sharing with this personal project of mine! Me coming back to the hobby in my own time!
Hope you enjoy reading this!
