LISTEN HERE
Welcome back everyone for another awesome episode of an interview with a cosplayer. Today we have an awesome cosplayer for you that goes by the name of @trinityroze. For this interview, we also have some images from a recent shoot we did together. There are tons of images to sort from so we only included a few in this post. For more awesome images I believe @trinityroze will be posting more on her Instagram as I’m slow to post them on mine, sorry. There’s a lot of great information in this episode so definitely give it a listen.
For this interview, we talked about her shoot as Mercy From Overwatch. Most are accustomed to seeing this character in her traditional outfit but for this shoot we used the Halloween skin. Trinityroze has cosplayed as mercy before and for those images definitely check out her Instagram. She states that this costume is a bit different from her normal cosplays as its a lot more revealing. She has always wanted to jump into this form of cosplay but never took the plunge. So this costume was the perfect opportunity to give it a spin.
Most of her cosplays are not actually made from scratch. That goes to show there is some hope for us that do not know how to sew. She instead modifies her costumes to fit her ideal image. She buys most of her items from amazon of course and milanoo costumes. Any other items she needs she purchases from Etsy. I personally love Etsy and really enjoy supporting independent crafters. When it comes to deciding if you should buy an item or not. She states that its best to look at the reviews of each item and see whose posting what about them. This will give you an idea about the quality of the item.
While we’re on the topic of purchasing items, we also discuss spending large amounts of money on cosplay. Sometimes others make me feel guilty for spending so much money on conventions and cosplay related items so it was a nice relief to know I was not alone. Her most expensive cosplay was actually her previous mercy cosplay with the wings costing the most. All though we do not discuss exactly how much she spent, just know it added up. This costume was actually purchased from Heroes Time. They offer a lot of customization to there suits so definitely check them out. Side note don’t use the U-ZIPPER option.
She actually used mercy a fair bit when she played the game so cosplaying as this character was naturally the next step. Surprisingly, Mercy is not her favorite character. D.Va was her favorite. She has also cosplayed as this character several times with the images showing up on her Instagram. She has done two of them including her original and B.va skin. In the future, she has more Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus and Chibi Sailor Moon lined up. Since this is a classic you know I will have to capture some images of it as soon as it’s completed.
One of the highlights discussed during this episode is what you do to gain more followers. It seems of course that one of the most important aspects is just being active. The name of the game appears to be post, post, and more post. Take pictures of the cosplay or makeup before you put it on, the creation process and the completed project. This is definitely something I plan to attempt more this year and will try my best to give a behind the scenes of the cosplay photo creation process.
There are so many other amazing highlights to this episode so definitely give it a listen. For more awesome Interview With A Cosplayer episodes click HERE.
