@Stonecuttercosplay's Data from Star Trek is smart!
Data
Data is a Soong-type android and is the first of his kind to enter the Starfleet. He was created to be as human as possible. But despite his attempts to learn more human emotions, he often failed with feelings like humor and romance.
"There Are Still Many Human Emotions I do Not Fully Comprehend – Anger, Hatred, Revenge. But I Am Not Mystified By The Desire To Be Loved – Or The Need For Friendship. These Are Things I Do Understand."
-Data
@Stonecuttercosplay loves cosplaying Data because of the joy it brings others and himself. He finds this ironic because Data is not known for expressing his emotions.
The makeup for Data was done by using a foundation that was several shades lighter than his actual skin tone and then mixing it with Moondust from Jackalope Cosmetics to give the skin a bit of a metallic feel.

Cosplay Origin
"I know it makes other people happy for them to see their favorite characters in the flesh. Also, whenever I put on a costume - to use a Star Trek analogy - it feels like I’m stepping into the holodeck.
-@Stonecuttercosplay
@Stonecuttercosplay was inspired to begin cosplaying after seeing his friends posts about their cosplays at conventions. He thought they looked like they were having the time of their lives, and he wanted to be a part of it.
He likes to say that his first cosplay was Hot Topic Spock at Ancient City Con 2010. He made the cosplay using things he already owned like skinny jeans and a blue shirt. He also just happened to own Vulcan ears (not to mention he also had the appropriate haircut).
@Stonecuttercosplay is part of the cosplay dance theater troupe Noise Complaint. He loves to attend cons as Data in the troupe because the character can canonically tap dance.
Mr. Crocker is an unstable teacher for Timmy Turner. At first he is a secondary antagonist, but by the end of the show he becomes the main antagonist. He is obsessed with showing everyone that fairies are real.
@Stonecuttercosplay loves cosplaying the high-energy Mr. Crocker. Also, the cosplayer does a great impression of Mr. Crocker (so good it earned recognition from Fairly Odd Parent's creator Butch Hartman).

Shizuo is renowned as the strongest man in Ikebukero. He hates violence, and has many misgivings about his strength. All of this makes him extremely lonely because he is afraid of hurting others with his incredible strength.
Shizuo is another high-energy cosplay that @Stonecuttercosplay enjoys portraying. He made the prop using PVC pipe and EVA foam.

Conventions
He has three favorite cons: Dragoncon, Katsucon, and Holiday Matsuri. He loves Dragoncon because it feels like a "nerd city" inside an actual city. And he adores Katsucon and Holiday Matsuri because of the fantastic and iconic photo spots.
