Prince of Cosplay

Prince, American cosplayer, always learning, always growing

[setters-n-acezine-blog]

Wanderlust Zine is absolutely thrilled to be working with the ever stylish Prince, who creates beautiful cosplays for a variety of shows and fandoms, including Voltron, D.Gray-Man, Pokemon, Tokyo Ghoul, and – of course – Haikyuu!!

Prince is currently working on a Blade of Marmora Keith Kogane, as well as Bakugou from Boku No Hero Academia. You may have spotted him at AX along with several of our other artists and cosplayers – he cosplayed as Keith and Todoroki Shouto ✨ He’ll also be attending the Anime Revolution and Fan Expo Vancouver conventions later this year, so be sure to keep an eye out for him there! Outside of cosplay, Prince is studying as a fashion design student, and most recently exhibited his street style for Vancouver Fashion Week over on Instagram.

Got to spend the weekend with @theprinceofcosplay ♡

[theprinceofcosplay]

Sadly, had to drop another cosplay due to time constraints......last time I change my lineup, promise

[theprinceofcosplay]

Darn! Wish I could've seen your Todoroki cosplay. I'm going on a Saturday to a cosplay meet up for BNHA as Tsuyu.

ah thats too bad the timing doesnt match up, have fun though

[theprinceofcosplay]

Ohhh hm well I think the deadline for panel applications has already passed sadly :/ and we don't find out which ones got accepted until next month

Ah okay, thats too bad. Well It will be interesting to see what panels there are then! 

[theprinceofcosplay]

Yeah that makes sense, no problem!

Something that may entice me to go more is if I was on a panel or did a panel (I used to do panels a long time ago and am thinking about getting back into it...) but Im looking at the website and I cant find anything about panel sort of events and what has and has not already been posted?

[theprinceofcosplay]

It's not super big. For the past couple years I think it's been like upper 5-6000s but it keeps getting bigger and they had to change locations because it it haha. I personally really enjoy it tho

Well I’ll look into it some more, when it comes down to it its really a matter of is it worth the time and money to travel down there (especially since I dont drive and have to find and/or pay for transportation) but I won’t rule it out yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

[theprinceofcosplay]

You should check out Kumoricon! :^ )

Okay I will look into it. How big of a con is it/whats the attendance? 

[theprinceofcosplay]

Got my ticket for Anime Evolution this weekend! I have no idea what Im going to be cosplaying Friday and Sunday (I sadly wont be able to make it Saturday day, maybe just the evening), but Ill figure it out

[theprinceofcosplay]

So on Monday I'll be moving to Canada! This means I'll be mostly attending west coast American conventions and some Canadian ones as well over the course of the next year, I am currently taking convention suggestions.

As far as cosplay goes, my focus this year will be a lot more on getting photos of my cosplays and making them better quality. I feel like in the past Ive spent a lot of time rushing to finish big projects but never end up having anything to show for them or I don't finish them how I would like. Cosplay often becomes so stressful for me being a perfectionist and trying to do so much in short time spans that I forget to enjoy myself in the process, which is not my intention and Id like to fix that. So my resolution for this upcoming year is to focus more on less complex cosplays and do more photoshoots.

Below is a little collage of a list of cosplays I would like to do over the next year, I don't have set dates for any of them and Im not expecting to complete every single one as Im just going to work on them as I can. I will also be revamping some old cosplays not on this list such as Howl from Howls moving Castle and Peter Pan.

And who knows, some of these plans may change, I may add other characters, but overall Im ready to start doing more with cosplay and less with stress. I hope you all will stick around to see all my upcoming cosplays!

What cons do you all recommend going to?

Right now for this coming con year Im looking at possibly Youmacon, Sakuracon, and Anime Expo, though Id like to add one or two more to that list. I’ll be located on the west coast so Im trying to stay on that side but im not sure what popular cons are there besides Anime Expo
