Doing a cosplay is I think the most difficult one in Art (for me). I mean you need a lot of money in terms of make up, wigs, custome and props. You can’t act someone that is non-existing, ofcourse you must imitate someone popular or  the most common of it is an   anime character.

Cosplaying is popular in deviantart. And there is a Filipina girl who is so very popular on the said style. Without no much FYI.here ,I know most of you know her… She is Alodia Gosiengfiao.She is half Filipino, Chinese and Spanish descent.

She is currently on her 3rd year taking up Information Design at the Ateneo De Manila University, and is fond of art, fashion and video games. 

Maxim magazine Philippines offered her to appear in the magazine for two months but, she turned them down. This is not the first time she snubbed the mainstream media. Previously, she rebuffed a TV offer from Maxim Philippines’ parent company ABS-CBN, an offer later taken by her friend and fellow cosplayer Dianne Lopez. 

Alodia’s popularity in the cosplay scene began at a Culture Crash Convention in December 2003, appearing as Gunmage Rikku from the game Final Fantasy X-2, accompanied by her sister Ashley Gosiengfiao who went as Gunmage Yuna from the same game, along with their friends Faus Ontengco and Dianne Lopez as Shuin and LeBlanc. The two sisters won third place and the People’s Choice Award, and were featured in an issue of the Culture Crash magazine (they appeared on the said issue’s cover as well). Since then she has been well-known for her beauty and well-done costumes, and has won several other cosplay awards to boot.
