@830cos

Cosplayer / College Student

@830cos's FLandre Scarlett cosplay from Touhou is delightful!

Scarlet Flandre

Scarlet is a vampire who has been kept locked away for nearly 500 years because of her unstable personality and incredible destructive power and intense strength. However, most of the time she is docile and enjoys the solitude. And Scarlet continues to respect her sister, though she is the one who is keeping her locked away in the mansion.

"The World Is A Big Cradle Of Lies Where People Lay Their Heads On Pretending Nothing Is Wrong. A Cycle Where Mortals Dwells Upon To...For A Cursed One Like Me Happily Watch Them From Darkness Savoring Each Moment A Human Dies Due To Their Ignorance..."

-Scarlet Flandre

@830cos grew up loving Scarlet, since about the age of eight.

This was the first time @830cos had ever made such a cosplay. The ruffles took about 400 cm of fabric to get the skirt as fluffy as it wanted. Despite working two full time jobs, @830cos was able to finish this cosplay in about 2 weeks.

Cosplay Origin

"I cosplay to feel better about myself, to explore and express my own creativity, and to bring my favorite characters to life!"
-@830cos

@830coss began cosplaying after reading a Shonen Jump Magazine where cosplay had been featured. The idea of bringing a favorite character to life was really appealing.

@830cos has been officially cosplaying for about 5 years. Its first cosplay was at Tampa Bay Comic Con, where @830cos attended as Fluttershy from My Little Pony.

Currently, @830cos does a lot of upcycling for its cosplays, however, learning more sewing skills so it can make it's own cosplays completely from scratch something @830cos really wants to start doing.

Omi Fushimi

A3!

Omi was originally a photographer for the Mankai Company. After Izumi sees the potential Omi could have as an actor, he was invited to audition, where he became a part of the revived Autumn Troup. He is a warm and comforting presence in the dormitory, often being an anchor of stability to the other members.

@830cos had a great time learning about making things with faux leather. Though it laughs at how much adding the metal studs hurt its hands. @830cos made both of the cosplays in the photo.

Dai Murase

Tsukipro

Dai is an idol under Tsukino Talent Production. While his appearance is scary and fierce to most people, his personality is much different. Dai is actually pretty clumsy, quiet, and straightforward. He also is respectful by using formal speech with his seniors.

Dai is probably @830cos's favorite character. @830cos was really excited about the wig for this cosplay. It was the first time @830cos had really styled a wig like this.

Advice For New Cosplayers


"Don’t be discouraged if your cosplays don’t get a lot of attention, and don’t measure your worth as a cosplayer by how many likes you get or how many photos get taken of you at a convention. Also, don’t let fear hold you back from cosplay. Cosplay is fun, and there’s nothing to be scared of."

The Basics

@830cos is 19 and is majoring in Art History.

Conventions

Its favorite convention is Holiday Matsuri because the weather is much cooler, but Metrocon is a local convention that a lot of @830cos's friends attend.
