Cosplaying again!
So last year, I cosplayed as Donquixote Doflamingo character from One Piece. It was a great and eye opening experience for a first timer cosplayer. The original costume was destroyed as I promised myself to make a better costume version in the future.
This year, I will lay down my camera and go full cosplay. I took my time to craft my costume and props, and hopefully I could finish it in time and test it out before the big day.
I will be cosplaying another antagonist character this year, can you guess who? 😛
Some tips! (A repost)
This tips I mentioned last time in my blog, but please read again! 🙂
Event goers like me should take not on a few things to enjoy the event without undesired complications;
Respect the cosplayers, booth caretaker – Taking photos is fun, but you must also respect the cosplayers and booth caretakers. Cosplayers deserve their rest from time to time , so don’t pull them in again for the sake of taking photos, ask politely and remember to thank them too. Meet again another time if they need to rest.
Some booth caretakers don’t like their products photos being taken, remember to ask and thank them later for their permission.
Hydrate! (HAIL HYDRATE!!) – Drink enough water so you won’t feel dry and dizzy from walking around, if you’re feeling hungry, eat!
Keep clean – Please do not litter, No one likes to see rubbish everywhere, so do your part to keep the place clean.
Remember your belongings and merchandises bought – Please keep in mind of your important belongings (ID card, money, handbags) and also merchandises you bought from the various booth. I saw quite a few incidents regarding lost items, so be cautious.
With that being said, I wish all the best for all organizing team, cosplayers, vendors and attendees. Lets have fun and make another memorable day for HobbyCon!
Mesti Datang!
