My 2022 cosplay activity in numbers:
- 32 photo shoots 🥹
- Most shoots I’ve done in October (7), second place goes to May (6), third to June (4) and the last one to January, which scored 0 😂
- I worked with 22 photographers 🤩
- I got 10 new cosplays, but don’t get this wrong! Most of them I bought or prepared earlier, they were missing some accessories or wigs. This year I made only 3,5 new costumes from scratch: Bela and Cassandra from Resident Evil, Madison from American Horror Story and Sin’dorei Gaga from Hearthstone. The missing half is partial remake of A.F.Kay from Hearthstone. Special mention goes to Priscilla’s lute, it required some work 😅
- 1 convention without a cosplay
- 0 conventions with a cosplay
I think that was the most busy year in my whole cosplay career 😂 My 2022 resolution was “to do at least one photo shoot each month” but I forgot my brain doesn’t know when to stop. So my 2023 resolution is “1 photo shoot trip each month”. No more, no less. It’s a “trip” instead of “a shoot” because sometimes I prefer to travel for a few days and shoot few costumes, 1 or 2 each day! I also want to focus on some other stuff in my life, that’s why I don’t want cosplay to be my no. 1 priority next year.
I’ve got a full-time job and I’m still studying, which consumes a lot of time and effort 😞
On the contrary, I played only 2 video games this year (Overcooked 2 and Detroit: Become Human). I didn’t watch any series or read any book for the first half of the year 🥲 I got tired after June and decided to reschedule my daily life!
I’m not sharing my 2023 cosplans, because they constantly change and as I mentioned before, I’d like to focus more on something else than cosplay next year. But worry not, as long as it gives me joy, I won’t stop cosplaying 🥰 My cosplans are highly influenced by mu current interests and who knows what’s going to bring my attention next year?
The one thing I know for sure is that I want to decrease my convention count to 0 😂 I don’t feel like I belong there anymore, crowds drain my energy super fast and also walking around wearing uncomfortable outfit in heavy make-up isn’t my dream idea of spending free time.
Thank you for following me and for all your likes, shares and comments! It really warms my heart to know so many people enjoy what I do! Here’s to another year full of shoots and ideas! 🍾🥂
