I became interested in cosplay nearly three years ago, after seeing some really spectacular displays at a local convention in Melbourne, Australia. After my first convention I really wanted to try, it was a pretty funny attempt and its safe to say I have hidden any evidence from seeing the light of day! Though I really enjoyed the process and challenge and have been continuing ever since, tackling harder costumes and working with so many amazing friends I have met so far!

Vincent Valentine is a really cool mysterious character, I really liked the costume design and was eager to recreate it when a friend asked me! I never could of managed without the help of a lot of friends who I am very grateful for!! Those two weeks really made a real mess of my apartment and my sleeping pattern! I had quite a lot of fun making this costume, thank god I had good high quality reference photos, though constantly looking for more resulted in me unpicking and making things multiple times despite my rushed schedule!!

I had a photoshoot with my friends, each doing a FF7 character, in Singapore. The cosplayers and photographers were friends I met online or previously in person, and I had really been looking forward to working with them, we all had a great time and I hope to do so again! I wore it the following weekend to the L2P event in Singapore and had a great time experiencing a different countries cosplay and meeting new friends. I really enjoying the entire process of the costume!
