Italy has never failed in providing the community with very talented cosplayers. Many of you probably know NadiaSK from Milan, winner of many important awards (Best Female Cosplay at Cospladya 2010 in Palermo; 2nd place at Miss Cosplay, Festival del Fumetto 2010; Best Female Cosplay at Oscar del Cosplay 2009 – to name just a few, along with other several group awards), and was also one of the Italy representatives at World Cosplay Summit 2008 in Nagoya, Japan.

Until now,
Cosplay Gen has been gathering quite a lot of amazing friends, and we must admit that we are glad for having known them. One such friend is
Z3LL, a cosplay photographer from
The Philippines, who has already an experience of several years in this hobby, meeting a lot of enthusiastic cosplayers; the result of such encounters is not only beautiful photos, but also very nice memories and friendships.

You might remember our Alice in Steampunkland feature interview from the pilot issue of the Cosplay Gen magazine. Well here it is in its full glory, the interview with 3 of the group members (Bandit Ying, Dan The Farmer and Cvy), to which we also added a few photos of the more complete Alice in Steampunkland team , counting up to 13 members. It’s really great to see such an amazing original project brought to life by talented cosplayers. [..]

ShanHuang is not only a cosplayer, but also an artist, reflecting into his costumes a personal approach on a certain character. In his case, cosplay doesn’t mean only producing a beautiful outfit and wearing it perfectly, but also transforming the chosen character according to his own sensitivity and point of view. [..]
Harrison Krix, known better in the costume props making scene as Volpin, started making props just a few years ago when he and his wife wanted to cosplay as Link and Midna from The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess. [..]
A very talented cosplayer, Skye is already known among the cosplay fans for her beautifully portrayed characters. Her characters of choice are mostly sensual and charming women, such as Soah from The Bride of the Water God, Himawari from xxxHolic or Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier.

Singapore really stands out as far as the cosplay community goes, and for such a small state it’s really packed with talented cosplayers. Jesuke is one of these talents, remarkable in the way in which she succeeds in getting into the skin of the characters she’s portraying.
