Advent Cosplay – Profile

Most of my costumes are self-made.
I study references until every detail feels familiar, sketch, plan colors and textures, then shop with intent.
Even in a small room I carve out a workspace and keep experimenting in my own way.
I’ll share making processes on the blog and in videos.
Please enjoy these notes as one maker’s research log.

My tripod is my partner; I shoot a lot of self-portraits.
For my own costumes I’m mostly self-sufficient — DSLR, lights, and editing learned by doing.
Photographing friends is a joy. How the photos are used is up to the subject.
Respecting that freedom is my stance as a photographer.

I love machines and tools.
This site — from concept to programming — is hand-built.
I’m comfortable tuning a sewing machine, handling camera gear, and working in Photoshop/Illustrator.
Understanding pixels, resolution, and color helps me present work the way it deserves.
From business cards to web pages, I enjoy supporting creativity with technology.

Once I start playing, I dive deep.
I adapt quickly to new worlds and systems.
Games shaped my sensitivity to story and character — they let me “walk” inside worlds I care about.
Even unfair mechanics can be fun; challenge is part of the charm.

I played clarinet in a school wind ensemble for about ten years.
Now I’m exploring guitar — chords, arpeggios, and tone.
My ears are sensitive; I like recreating anime and game music by ear.
Sound is another way I shape the feel of my work.

I use English daily and enjoy cross-cultural conversations.
My Instagram posts are written for overseas friends.
It started with wanting to fully understand lyrics from the Sonic series by ear.
I learned from native friends in school and kept going.
I can help visiting cosplayers at events like WSC — if you need a hand, feel free to ask.
