Taking time to learn to be comfortable with the costume is a must and this closet cosplay of Kantai Collection’s Yamato may not have an impressive background or location, and photo effects but the cosplayer’s dedication to seeing this portrayal through is evident.
In all forms of art, the saying practice makes perfect is a constant reminder. In cosplay, if you think having the costume and materials ready is enough preparation for the event, then you’re wrong. Even if you are not going to be performing, cosplayers must practice. Practice what you might ask? Practice their makeup, practice wearing their costumes, and practice their poses. Perhaps this is why we see a lot of trial cosplays, closet cosplays, and trial makeup selfies. You can find that even the most experienced cosplayers do this over and over before the upcoming cosplay event or photoshoot.
So even if what this cosplayer is doing here may still be a trial, I for one am appreciative that she decided to share it to the world.
Cosplayer: 是本末末
