[ID: 3 images depicting Kaworu Nagisa from Evangelion. The first is a cosplay photo of Kaworu based off of a screenshot from one of the movies. The shot is taken from above and over the shoulder, and Kaworu is looking up into the camera and smiling while seated at a grand piano. The second image is the screenshot from the movie. The position and expression are very similar to the photo. The last image is another photo with slightly bluer lighting. Kaworu is in the same position but now smiling with his teeth showing.

I sometimes have people come to me and say “I wish I could do what you do.” And my response is always that you can! I’ve been costuming for upwards of 8 years, and honestly I wasn’t particularly good at it for at least the first half of it. Compared to a lot of people I’ve met, I was actually a very slow learner (and I still have a long way to go!). You just have to persevere. Cosplaying isn’t just a skill that you’re born with. Keep working and trying your best!

I had actually already made several costumes from Voltron when I heard that Lotor was going to be introduced as a character. Before I even saw the design, I knew I would want to cosplay him, so as soon as the season he was introduced in aired, I dove right into the design process! It was a challenging outfit, but very rewarding!

The outfit is a body suit and armor. For the patterning, I made a duct tape cast of my body and drew on the shapes to be transferred onto paper, then fabric or foam. My armor is made entirely of EVA foam that I covered in stretch vinyl. I prefer the fabric covering method for armor because it helps keep it sturdy and sleek without sacrificing flexibility like if you use something like worbla.

Overall, the response at conventions has been overwhelmingly positive! I love cosplaying characters with supporting roles because it opens up opportunities to get fun pictures with anyone who’s cosplaying the main characters. Lotor is one of my favorite costumes to take to conventions for that reason.

Actually, I do have a fun story from the first time I wore him to a convention. I was walking in one of the open areas at AWA when someone came up to me and asked me, you guessed it, if I would step on them for a picture. That started an entire line of people asking for pictures of me stepping on them. It was maybe 10 people in a row! I should have started charging.

Cosplay has been a HUGE impact on my life, especially over the last few years. No other hobby has allowed me to meet as many people and make SO many friends. Plus, it really is an art form! Cosplay has given me the opportunity to develop skills and create things that I can truly be proud of.

How did you make the neck peice for your lotor cosplay?

Hi there @renegade-girl! I assume you’ve already looked at my tutorial, so I’ll try to elaborate some off of that.

So the neck piece was one of the more difficult parts of this cosplay. I ended up making a pattern out of duct tape, so that I could see it and adjust the angles of it relatively easily. After I had my pattern figured out (it turned out to be a weird, semi-arc shape), I made the piece itself from 2 pieces of fabric covered foam. The first piece was the base, made from a thicker foam, which I covered in blue stretch vinyl. The second piece I made from thinner foam and included a cutout that exposed the blue underneath. I covered this piece in black stretch vinyl and glued it on top of the first piece. Then I finished it off with a bit of wire inset in the inner edge to make sure it kept its shape, especially during transport.

Hope this helps you get a better idea of how I did it!
