I consider cosplay (“costume/play” to the uninitiated!) to be an art form. Whether a person chooses to copy a costume as accurately as possible or to put their own creative spin on it, the craftsmanship and dedication involved in seeing such a project to fruition is impressive. The end result is worth it though. Not only do you get to look amazing all day, walking around as an awesome fusion of your favorite character and yourself, you get to see the joy that your art has brought to others. My sister and I both say that half the fun of going to conventions like Wondercon is seeing all the awesome cosplays. You never know what you’re going to find.
