Today we have a special treat.\u00a0 I have an interview with a local cosplayer.\u00a0 Like myself, she is from Louisiana.\u00a0 I discovered this young lady through deviantart.com<\/a> and I really enjoy some of her cosplays, especially the X-men ones.\u00a0 Anyway, here is my interview with the talented and beautiful, Cheeker Cosplay.<\/p>\n

1. Who are you and where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am CheekerCosplay, otherwise known as Megan and I am from Louisiana.<\/p>\n

2. How did you discover cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my high school teachers actually turned me on to it. She’s also a cosplayer and really inspired me to start.<\/p>\n

3. I really love your Shadowcat cosplay?\u00a0 What made you choose her?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much! I absolutely LOVE the X-Men. ShadowCat is my all time favorite. I just love her so much. Her powers, her personality, everything. Although I loved her before, I think Astonishing X-Men really made her my all time favorite. She was just AMAZING in that series.<\/p>\n

4. Have you cosplayed other comic characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, I have. So far I’ve only done female X-Men characters, (two versions of ShadowCat, Emma Frost, Pixie, Dark Phoenix, Marvel Girl) although I am working on DeeDee from BatMan Beyond as well as Stephanie Brown BatGirl.<\/p>\n

5. What other genres do you cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I cosplay anime, video games, and comic book characters. A majority of my cosplays are anime based but comic book cosplay would have to be my favorite genre.<\/p>\n

6. Do you go to conventions to show off your cosplay or do you do photo shoots only?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always bring two to four costumes to conventions. I love it so much, I get so caught up going around in cosplay that I barely even go to any panels. Although most of my costumes HAVE been worn to cons, I do have some that have only been used for photo-shoots.<\/p>\n

7. Do you do other modeling besides cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t done any serious modeling yet besides taking photos. But I am a member of the D20 Girls and Charisma+2. Hopefully I’ll be able to get more serious about modeling in the future.<\/p>\n

8. What are your plans for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really hope that I can go somewhere with cosplay. I’d love to be a featured guest at conventions and for people everywhere to know who I am. Cosplaying is that one thing that I consider myself really good at, I hope it can all work out for me.<\/p>\n

9. Where can my readers see more examples of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can follow me on FaceBook at www.facebook.com\/cheekercosplay<\/a> for all of my photos and constant updates. I also have a DeviantART at cheekercosplay.deviantart.com\/<\/a> for occasional photos. Or you could follow my Tumblr at sakakiosaka.tumblr.com\/<\/a> for my everyday shenanigans and lots of random reblogs.<\/p>\n

10. If you had to pick one cosplay, which one is your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite currently is my new ShadowCat cosplay. As I said before, I just LOVE her character so much. I feel like I really relate to her. The costume was a last minute one I had decided I wanted to do like, two days before MobiCon 2012 and I was really scared it was going to turn out ugly. But once I put it all together I fell in love.<\/p>\n
