Someone actually sent me a private message in Facebook about this.
"Kei-san for you what is cosplay? Is it art?"
My Answer:
Well for me it's an art. An art wherein you can express yourself. Sure you might say that cosplay is cosplay... it's just wearing costumes and acting out. but for me there is something more in it than what spectators see.
For me Cosplay is indeed an art... but it's an art where in people, despite doing similar characters can still be different. Because of course, we have our own style make-up, own style of designing our costumes, our own way of acting out the character and many more.
For me Cosplayers are like painters and their costumes, make-up wig and props are the paint that give the canvass life, color and style. But of course they are not the same... same as paintings there are differences. Like one can be realism, one can be abstract etc.
It all depends on the cosplayer's style and what he/she would want to express.
Well this is based on my opinion only. And this is actually what I think of cosplay.
Thank you for viewing.
