Fallen From the Stars has thirty talented artists behind it who have spent months preparing their awesome creations for this exciting debut… today, let’s learn a little more about one of our cosplayers, Cuchinta!
What do you like about South Park? How did you first start watching it?
The earliest time I can remember watching South Park was in 4th or 5th grade. I remember specifically that it was the trapper keeper episode though! I just love the characters and how it can make me laugh.
What's your favourite episode and why?
I will always have a soft spot for the superhero episodes (basically, any episodes with Mysterion in them really) since those are the ones that really got me into the fandom. Other than that, I also love the Black Friday/Game of Thrones episodes. To be honest, the ones I love best are the ones where they’re just a bunch of kids getting thrown into shit; the ones that aren’t so pop culture/current events heavy. Ones that comes to mind right away are “Super Fun Time” and “Good Times With Weapons” Are you in any other fandoms? -Right now, I’m really into The Adventure Zone, Yuri on Ice, and Haikyuu. I was also just recently religiously watching figure skating during the Winter Olympics~
How long have you been cosplaying? What made you start?
I think I’ve been cosplaying since 2006?? But i only started sewing/making my own stuff since 2011. I just thought dressing up as characters was really cool and I wanted to try it c
Do you have any advice for aspiring cosplayers?
Keep at it!! Practice makes perfect. But also, know your limits. Don’t forget to take care of yourself while working on a costume!! It’s hard, but try not to compare yourself to others. We’re all taking part in this ridiculous(ly expensive) hobby together. Let’s support each other and help each other out!
Do you have any original projects out there?
One of my next projects is to create a look for my D&D character for Ren Faire over the summer
