<strong>Cosplay</strong> <strong>Arabia</strong><br />
7<br />
type of thing. I grew up in a home<br />
of artists and I used to draw a<br />
lot of cartoons as a kid. One day<br />
a friend of mine sent me this<br />
YouTube video of “pinkstylist”,<br />
a famous FX artist on YouTube<br />
saying “hey this guy seems<br />
interesting, he is very good at<br />
what he does” which also sparked<br />
my interest - a moment of “hmmm<br />
let me dabble in that”. And<br />
that’s how I started it - initially<br />
from face painting all the way<br />
to bringing characters such as<br />
Chucky & Corpse bride to life.<br />
Q. What’s the best reaction<br />
you’ve ever gotten from people?<br />
A. Oh God (laughs) I remember<br />
at a convention I was cosplaying<br />
as the Devil. Me and my friends<br />
were practicing for our skit under<br />
a staircase which was kind of<br />
dark. A group of guys passing by<br />
freaked out and got scared of me<br />
due to my sudden appearance,<br />
it wasn’t my intention to scare<br />
them, but hey - it worked.<br />
Q. Oh My God (LOL), so basically<br />
the character worked it came<br />
to life. By that, do you believe<br />
that a person has to have<br />
certain qualities to pull off their<br />
characters?<br />
A. I believe if you set your mind<br />
to it, anyone can pull off any<br />
cosplay. I don’t think it should<br />
matter if you look like the<br />
character or not, you just do you!<br />
Q. On average how long does it<br />
take for you to achieve a look?<br />
And what part of the process<br />
do you find takes more time for<br />
you?<br />
A. What takes the most time<br />
for me is the hair and makeup<br />
because I heavily focus on that.<br />
I don’t really take a long time to<br />
assemble the look, I usually build<br />
up to it using what’s around me<br />
or just purchase it piece by piece<br />
and props I usually have on hand<br />
like Chuckey’s knife which I got<br />
from my mom’s kitchen.
