Art by Kytri on tumblr...So over the years I've seen myself change, in some ways for good, in others, not so much. I've tried to keep learning new things to improve my cosplays, but in my pursuit...I lost my own style. I have tried to learn so I can be "just as good as that cosplayer" or "in the same league as this cosplayer", I started comparing myself and trying to change to be just like everyone else...but I came across a comment that made me stop...It talked about how they enjoyed the fact that I made my Eridan cosplay for only $25, and that it was cool to see, and I realized that in my pursuit to be just like everyone else, I was buying more expensive materials simply because "it's what everyone else uses" and I lost sight of the "budget" aspect of cosplay on a budget. And that hit me, hard, and made me feel almost like a failure at first. I made my channel because a friend urged me to make tutorials about how I make quality cosplays for cheap...and I had strayed from that. Am I saying that it's bad to learn and grow? No of course not, but in my growing I had lost myself...So I'm taking me back. I'm going to make that little challenge my thing. All cosplays that I make will be a challenge for me to make for only $25 or less (unless I give myself a bigger budget lol) it will make me stop and think outside the "normal" box for cosplayers, what I did when I first started my channel. I'm sorry this rant has been so long, but I hope if anyone else has been feeling the same way that this has helped you as well. Along your journey to improve yourself, never forget yourself, because despite everything...it's still you 💙. #cosplayadvice #misscosplay #cosplayrant #cosplayonabudget #rant #personal #feels #undertale #frisk
