Addressing Cosplay Vs. Costuming,...Addressing Cosplay Vs. Costuming, and how it applies to gallery postings.
I write this knowing the topic is a hot-button debate at the moment between those who consider themselves cosplayers, and those who consider themselves costumers. The controversy starts over a word that is very ill-defined, as each individual has a different definition of what cosplay is. I am also not a member of Deviant Art’s GM staff, and the following is simply my take on the aspect of this issue and how it applies to gallery categories. If you agree or disagree, please feel free to post your thoughts, but do not start a hate war. We are all here for the same
Longing 
| I'm a trained marine biologist who specialised in hard coral taxonomy. I became a science teacher for three years, before getting kicked out and landing hard on my shebs. Things started going downhill from there. I started up and closed down a couple of businesses, my marriage was effectively terminated and hopped from job to job. I am now a freelance artist who designs and builds costumes (more like suits of armour) for a living. Relationship wise, I have now found my perfect soul mate, Ni'Sya, and I am very thankful that I found her... and that she accepted me! Ni'Sya and I are in the Malaysia Book of Records for being the first Malaysians to become members of the Mandalorian Mercs Costuming Club, an international Star Wars fan-based costume club. I've just completed my third solo costumes exhibition, Resurrection III, at the Museum & Galeri Tuanku Fauziah, USM Penang. |
