Adventures of Jin & Friends

Q:I have so much I'd like to ask. But I don't wish to be annoying so I'll just ask one : what/who is your source of inspiration in cosplay?

There are a lot of people I look up to in terms of craftsmanship.

One of them is Obi Gibson (from Japan), whose Metal Gear cosplays blow my mind, put the goo in a blender, and serve it over a nice salad.

Another is Harrison of Volpin Props (USA), who does stuff like this fantastic Daft Punk helmet in the course of 17 months. I have no words. Just look.

There are many awesome costumers also here in the Philippines whose work and dedication inspire me to challenge myself more.

Donrobert Torio and Izabel Cortez

angstnomiko and eva-guy01 who are part of Cosplay.ph, the people who have from the very start been giving cosplayers fun events to attend and helping the community grow.

Zhel Guiral and AC Hernandez (as I had written about here)

But the people who really keep me cosplaying are my friends.

Regardless of how our cosplays turn out, what I really look forward to is the time we spend hanging out and helping each other with our costumes, and the great time we always have during cons or shoots. :)
