We have a video of our skit from the Hobart round of MNCC (madman national cosplay competition) 2017!!!

For the curious, yes, we did all the voice acting ourselves.  Amski is amazing at sound editing.

Many, many thanks to AICon Tasmania for the video (and Cammie Mile in particular for the edit)

Cosplay Throwback Thursday 

Cosplayer: Amski Cosplay: Jigglypuff Pokemon Series:  Pokemon 

Awards: Best Overall                 Fan Favourite 

 My friend and I were on the plane home from Japan and were discussing the anime convention coming up. I said I’d probably just do a silly outfit that year as I didn’t have much money (I’d spent it all in Japan).

Anyway, Jigglypuff was created, and on the day of the convention,  I was so embarrassed by it that I nearly didn’t go in the competition (despite having pre-registered for it). My little sister was there with me and gave me the push that I needed to go in the competition. They had a little back room that joined onto the stage, and thats where I got ready before coming out when my name was called, as I could only stay in the costume for very short amounts of time.

As we walked out of the back room, (my sister held my hand as my vision is nearly zero inside that thing), we were met with a wall of sound of cheers and screams. I had no idea what was going on, so I was pretty much yelling at my sister “WHAT’S HAPPENING!?”. She told me to be quiet and keep walking.

Anyway, turns out the crowd loved the costume, as did the judges. I came first overall, and I won the fan favourite.I do love this costume ^-^

There’s a fortnight to go!

Stress levels are high as we both work hard to create the best that we can for this competition, but so far we’re really happy with what we’ve got.

We’ve picked a series!  We have characters set!  We have a rough of our skit being gently smooshed into being!

Short Term Goals

For MNCC we want to push ourselves by creating something spectacular.  And to do that we feel we need to learn how to make more compicated things that test our limits.

Because we’re lucky in having a large period of time between the competitions,  we’re be doing a couple of quick and dirty cosplays that we wouldn’t normally consider, just as test runs to see what we can learn.

Compete in (and win) MNCC Finals!

Now that our first goal has been completed, we’re super excited to continue on to the next round. It’s a long shot, but we’re going to give our all!

We won the Hobart round for MNCC!

Teamski will be heading to Melbourne for Madfest to compete for the chance to represent Australia in the World Cosplay Summit.

We’re both so excited that we can barely express our love and thanks properly.
