![]() ![]() So I’ll use pleather instead–it looks like the real thing and works just as well. It’s expensive and unfortunately a lot of great character costumes use it. It was a weird design and took a really long time.ĪiPT!: When you’re making these cosplays is there a line your drawn with funds/time investment? The body suit wasn’t something I could pick up quickly. It can depend on how big and what it looks like.ĪiPT!: What’s the most ambitious cosplay you’ve attempted? Armor pieces are usually a month and a half process. There’s painting, designing, sanding and so on. I have to set goals for myself each week. Armor making definitely takes a lot longer. Nova: I can make most basic articles of clothing in a day, such as pants or a jacket. Why stop someone from dressing up as something that makes them happy? To tell someone that “you can’t do this” because you’re a girl playing a boy, or vice versa, no I don’t agree with that.ĪiPT!: What would you say is the average amount of time you invest into creating a cosplay? Nova: I don’t think people should be restricted from doing a certain cosplay based on their size, sex or skin color. The costume was very uncomfortable and was basically falling off of me.ĪiPT!: Is it fair to say cosplay is for everyone? At the time I wasn’t very good at sewing today I could definitely make it to fit me properly, but back then I couldn’t get it. I did a Psylocke cosplay that I couldn’t finish. Nova: I came close with Widowmaker *laughs* The process was incredibly frustrating and the body paint was awful to wear. It’s just impossible! So it was the most frustrating but I definitely learned a lot from it.ĪiPT!: Has there ever been a cosplay you’ve given up on making during the process? Or put on and decided it was just too uncomfortable to wear? If that body suit wasn’t tattooed on her body, it wouldn’t sit the way it does. It’s basically not possible so you just have to do your best to make it similar. Nova: Yeah! Her body suit is the weirdest thing I’ve ever sewn in my entire life. But at the end it came out great and I was really happy with it.ĪiPT!: Would you say that was the most frustrating cosplay you’ve made? Nova: I did my Widowmaker cosplay for Katsucon this year and I think that would be my favorite. ![]() Nova: *laughs* That’s a hard question because I honestly don’t remember! I think it may have been Catwoman?ĪiPT!: Out of all the cosplays you’ve done, which has been your favorite so far? New York doesn’t even have that many cons to be honest. ![]() I know about ten cosplayers in this area. Nova: Well when comic-con is here yeah it’s crazy. My brother was immediately like “You should do this!”.ĪiPT!: Would you say there’s a big cosplay scene in New York? I saw all these cosplayers and we were both drawn it, everyone looked so cool. I actually started cosplaying because my little brother suggested we go to New York comic-con. Sometimes I think I’d be a happier person if I didn’t play it *laughs* So many trolls!ĪiPT!: How long have you been cosplaying? Well, I’m also playing Horizon Hero Dawn and I love the game. I’m stuck in Overwatch right now though, so I haven’t had time to play much else. When I was younger it was always a passion my little brother and I were always obsessed with The Legend of Zelda. Nova: One of the main things I spend my time on outside of cosplay is playing video games constantly. Unfortunately they don’t have a basketball team for my school.ĪiPT!: Growing up and traveling so much, were you always into the nerd scene? Or did that develop for you later? I really like sports, I play volleyball for my school and I used to play basketball. It was really exciting when I got in! Outside of cosplay I go shopping–it’s a passion. I’m in school for fashion merchandising and marketing at FIT in New York. I speak three languages: French, English, and Italian. But I was enrolled in a French school where I got here, because my mother’s French. I’ve lived in France, London and I’ve been in the US for about 11 years now. ![]() I’ve traveled around a lot because of my parents.
