Q&A Interview with YazBae

Where are you from? 

Wales! 

When did you start cosplaying?

About two year ago properly, but I had dabbled in it a bit before that.

How did you first become interested in cosplay? 

I honestly just wanted to be cool characters in real life and cosplay was the perfect excuse, haha.

What are some characters that you have cosplayed? 

Spirit Blossom Kindred, Jinx, Yumeko Jabami and Levi Ackerman which was a big step out of my comfort zone as I'd never cosplayed a masculine character before that. 

What are your plans for your next cosplay? 

Attack on Titan Season 4 uniform Hange and I'm in the process of making the new champion Gwen from League of Legends.

Do you have any cosplay pet peeves? 

I honestly just hate sanding things. It takes forever and I'm super impatient so it's a struggle sometimes haha.

Favorite movie? Video game? TV show? Band? 

Attack on Titan is my favorite anime/manga. I also adore Junji Ito's works. Favorite games are the Danganronpa series and FFXIV and my favorite band is Bring Me the Horizon. 

What is the longest you have ever spent on creating a cosplay? 

I'm my own worst enemy with finishing a cosplay 100% to the end but I spent a good while on my take of Aurelion Sol. 

Who is your favorite LoL champion to play as? What about most hated champ to play against? 

My most played champion is Ahri, though I recently picked up Seraphine and her ult is really fun. I absolutely despise Nautilus he is the WORST to play against. What is that hook range?!

Outside of video games and cosplay, what are some of your other hobbies? 

I stream on Twitch if that counts and before lockdown I used to go bouldering quite a bit, but I lost all my strength over 2020 sadly.

Q&A Interview with Steamy Hippie



Where are you from?

I'm from Florida.

When did you start cosplaying?

In the summer of 2014.

How did you first become interested in cosplay?

I was introduced to it by some friends in college but I always loved dressing up as a kid.

What are some characters that you have cosplayed?

Oh so many but to name a few, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ziggs from League of Legends, Diane from Seven Deadly Sins, Tina from Bob's Burgers, Mizore from Rosario + Vampire, Misty from Pokémon, Deku from My Hero Academia, and Raven from Teen Titans.

What are your plans for your next cosplay?

Velma from Scooby-Doo and Cinnamon from Nekopara.

Do you have a favorite LoL champ?

I do, it's Soraka! She was the first champ I bought and fell in love with, I love everything about her look and story!


Do you have any cosplay pet peeves?

Unbrushed/tangled wigs haha.

What is the largest convention you have been to? 

That would definitely be Dragon Con, it was crazy!

Any tips for newer cosplayers?

Just have fun! Don't put pressure on yourself to be perfect unless you are competing and even then it should still be fun, not work! 

Favorite movie? Video game? TV show? Band?


So hard to pick but if I had to, The Lion King original animated version, Final Fantasy X, Fairy Tail if anime counts as a TV show if not then The Curse of Oak Island, haha, and Queen is definitely my
favorite band!

Tell me about some of your tattoos.

I have like 18 now including some Egyptian tats and most of my new ones are nerdy like Yoshi, Fairy Tail and the element symbols from Avatar the Last Airbender.

Outside of cosplay and video games, what are some of your other hobbies?

I watch A LOT of anime lol, but most of my hobbies are centered around cosplay, going to conventions, gaming with friends, etc.
