I cosplay as well, and I've cosplayed for about five years now. It's a super fun hobby since you get to craft something cool and show it off to other people who compliment it.

Earlier this year, I did a cosplay of Nui from Kill la Kill, and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening. I need to remake Lucina's sword, Nui's wig, and Nui's sword for next year's cons though! It's a little tough when making the props, but really rewarding when you see how cool it is.
