Cossaiki

Grell Sutcliff - Black Butler (Halloween version)

"Hello everyone, I'm Cossaiki! 😸 I've been cosplaying for two years and my specialty is crossplay. As a boy, I transform into female characters to create illusions that are more real than life, like magic!"

My goal is to prove that cosplay is an art without barriers and that boys can also perfectly embody their favorite heroines.

I am active on social media (Insta/Tik Tok/YT) and I regularly share my tips and transformations on social media to show you the behind-the-scenes of this magic.

Looking forward to meeting you and chatting with you! 🤗

Kaeliyn

Kilari Tsukishima - Kirarin Revolution

"🌸 Cosplayer for 3 years and Kaigai Cosplay Idol for one year! Passionate about magical and colorful worlds, I invite you into my world through costumes and shows combining singing and dancing. And... 👀 my very first single is coming soon! Between ribbons, pigtails, and glitter, my mission is to make you shine from head to toe ✨ So, ready to awaken the Magic Idol within you? 🥰"

Hobbit Viking

Ibaraki Douji - Fate/Grand order

"Hello! I'm Baal, from the Hobbit Viking account. A cosplayer for over 10 years now, mainly of Fate and Genshin Impact, I've focused particularly on makeup to make my interpretation of each cosplayed character even more personal, giving free rein to my creativity. I'd be happy to share this knowledge with cosplayers who would like to take their makeup skills further!"

Furthermore, I would be delighted to introduce you to the basics of resin creations. It's a very versatile material that greatly contributes to giving a costume a richer look! But how do you go about it, what are the differences between resins, and how do you achieve certain effects? I can't wait to share all my little secrets with you!

Ainlina & Valentin

Zelda

Ainlina, a cosplayer for 17 years, and Valentin, a cosplay photographer for 12 years, share their passion and knowledge about cosplay, photography, 3D printing, and much more!

Their main motivation is to support creative individuals and introduce the world of cosplay and photography to the general public through conventions, YouTube videos, and live streams! The idea is to make cosplay more accessible and inclusive! 👾🎮

Since 2020, they have founded a company offering accessories, weapons, and replicas to facilitate the creation of cosplays or to serve as wall decorations, using 3D printing. You can also find merchandise based on their favorite universes such as Outer Wilds, Expedition 33, and Zelda.

From design to painting, they share every step and valuable advice to support enthusiasts in their projects!
