Cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao was an artist first

She draws before calling it a night

Other than being a cosplayer, Alodia Gosiengfiao is also an artist in which all her artworks were what brought her to start maintaining her main website over at DeviantArt.com. She knew about art before cosplay. Her earlier works are inspired by anime and Japanese culture.

She also draws whenever she have free time

For now, She is trying to diversify her style to anime + western type of characters. Here are some of her masterpiece.

Just wandering if Alodia's going to enter the world of photography? I think she'll also be a good photographer.

Hetalia: Axis Powers: America

Energetic and headstrong, America was raised by England who later fights for his own independence. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces but his ideas for solving international problems are often absurd. Unfortunately, America also tends to be oblivious to the opinion of others.

Beautiful cosplay! I love the simple yet elegant pose the cosplayer’s done with the American flag around her. Thanks to T.J. for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to ~Lsine for finding my blog and letting me know this is her cosplay!

RG Veda: Kendappa-O

The queen of the Kendappa tribe, Kendappa-O serves as the royal musician and is one of the prophesized Six Stars. As the rest of the Stars gathered together to overthrow the treacherous reign of Taishakuten, it is revealed that Kendappa-O is Taishakuten’s shitenno, Jikokuten, the shitenno and bushinsho of the East. She believes that Taishakuten is the strongest person in Heaven and swore herself to his service when she was just a small child.

Cosplay Photography as new specialization in fashion photography

Alodia Gosiengfiao for Cosplay Photography

Lots of people nowadays are becoming photography hobbyists.

An SLR camera (either digital or film) with controls for aperture and shutter speed or just a digital camera will do the hobby. But for Jay Tablante there's this what you call Cosplay Photography, a new specialization in fashion photography that redefines the usual photo studio shoot.

Here's the latest video of Jay Tablante's Cosplay Photography.

Granado Espada: Leticia

Very little is known about the Premium Item Merchant, Leticia, but players of Granado Espada know her very well. She sells in-game items that cost real money, so you can bet players think about her all the time, especially when they’re deciding whether or not to make a purchase.

I think it would be safe to say she’s from a family of merchants though? Or a family who is into the business.

Cute cosplay! I love her dress, but I wonder what she’s looking at? Thanks to Renae for sending this in!

Gyakuten Saiban: Yahari Masahi

Well-known for his unbelievable antics in school, Larry Butz is a childhood friend of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. He is a flight-of-fancy character and is quite prone to yelling fits. He’s had several jobs and several girlfriends over the years, but can never seem to keep either one for a long period of time.

Nevertheless, he remains happy with his life, despite finding himself caught between court cases. As the saying goes: “When something smells, it’s usually the Butz.”

Awesome cosplay! It’s too bad the photo is a little blurry, but the cosplayer really got the character down! I wonder if there are any other characters from the series who cosplayed with him? Thanks to Rue for sending this in!

Kingdom Hearts II: Rikku

A miniature version of her original Final Fantasy X-2 design, Rikku appears in Kingdom Hearts II as a little fairy. She retains most her characteristics in the new game; ditzy, good-natured, and a treasure fanatic like her teammates. Her attire is slightly modified, but retains its FF X-2 feel.

So cute! If only there was a bigger photo of this available. Thanks to Hanna for sending this in!
