People about Cosplay...

The only place it should really matter is in competition. Don’t enter a workmanship based contest with something that you bought or commissioned, and don’t take credit for the work of others.

That said, some contests have a category for commissioned or purchased costumes, you would be fine if you entered there.

I have a rather complicated attitude towards cosplay and cosplayers.

Part of me think of them as rather silly. I mean, grown adult dress up in game/amine/comic book characters with homemade costume, and act like they’re actually the character? Com’on…

But at the same time, I admire their creativity and bravery. Some of the costumes are really ingenious and of high quality! I mean, let’s face it, game/anime/comic book characters often have the most unrealistic physic defying clothing. It takes some real creativity and talent to create it in 3 dimensional reality and to have the killer body to wear it.

Cosplayers are very passionate about their craft, which is something I can relate to and appreciate. If one of those days I can loose 30 lbs, I’ll go dress up too.

Let me make it simple for you.

These are some factors which make this fun-filled activity very fascinated.

1) It is Fun

We are all fed up of real life sometimes, the animated world always considered as utopia and we like to experience that Utopian life as the way it is – funny and playful. It is entertaining and enjoyable.

2) Fandom

You can express your love for the character which fascinates you. This is the best way to enjoy the fandom of a particular character that you really like it and want to hide your personality under the charm of whatever character.

3) Compliments

People like to be a center of attention. Getting compliment on your creativity or catching the eyes of your friends towards famous movie character is always flattering.

4) Creativity

We all like creativity, sometimes costumes are crafted by hand. The process includes sewing, cutting, using something completely different thing for entirely different purposes make you proud of cracking the unique idea that nobody ever think of.
