@star_cos22's Cosplay Origins

Initially, @Star_cos22 had no desire to cosplay, but after being heavily persuaded by their friend, they finally gave in. Ultimately, cosplaying was some of the most fun they’d ever had. Their first cosplay was Shoto Todoroki from My Hero Academia. @Star_cos22 fell in love with the performance side of cosplay.

TikTok and Cosplay

Silco from Arcane

@Star_cos22 has been cosplaying for less than two years, but has been wildly successful on TikTok. They are known for doing intense makeup and cosplaying more obscure characters. 

They love to experiment with makeup and make a character their own. They cosplay and make TikToks becauses they love to see how excited others are for a character that they love as well. 

The make up for Silco took over 4 hours to complete. 

Mycon Cosplay Contest

Megamind from Megamind

@Star_cos22 has brought out Megamind to a few different conventions because it is such a fan favorite. Back in March 2022, @Star_cos22‘s Megamind won the Teen Division at MYCON.

Later, @Star_cos22 would enter Megamind into a Lip Sync competition at Tampa Bay Comic Con and win. 

 

@Star_cos22's Favorite Cosplay

Ryo Asuka's Satan Form From Devilman Crybaby

Ryo is @Star_cos22‘s favorite because of how well the cosplay captures the beauty of the character and how great his wings turned out.

@Star_cos22 shared with Florida Comic Cons how they made the wings! They used bendable rulers, foam, feathers, and a plastic lid to create the wings.

Upgrades to cosplay

@Star_cos22 loved cosplaying Ryo so much, they decided to revamp the cosplay by changing the base outfit and wig, while still using the wings and inspiration from the original cosplay.
