Well, guys and gals its Black Friday so that means today is the last cosplay interview post for this week.\u00a0 Don’t worry, I have more interviews lined up, but we will go back to the once a week schedule.\u00a0 Anyway, let’s get back to today’s post.\u00a0 I chose to end the week with a great cosplayer I discovered on deviant art one day.\u00a0 She goes by the name Tenleid and she is not only very beautiful but very talented as well.\u00a0 Nerds of all ages, I present to you my interview with Tenleid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

I go by Tenleid, and I’m from the great white north (specifically, Toronto!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

A TV station that everyone around here grew up with called YTV (Toonami for Canadians) did coverage of Canadas biggest anime convention every year. I saw all the cosplayers and really wanted to join in! I was young at the time, but when I was old enough to go with a friend, I started working on my first cosplay for my first convention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. I really love your version of Cammy. What made you choose her? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you! All through high school, a close friend of mine and I sat around playing Streetfighter on his slow, laggy laptop. We didn’t really have much else to do. Cammy was always a favorite character of mine, although I disliked her Delta Red outfit; which is why I picked the blue alternate from Alpha!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a04. What was your first cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Ranmao, from Kuroshitsuji. It was a trainwreck! I didnt wear a wig, and my hair didnt look anything like hers. My costume was extremely inaccurate and poorly constructed, But I was extremely proud of it. I made it nearly 100% by hand, and had so much fun wearing it. Which is really all that matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Comic books and video games are my main genres! I cosplay a little from Anime, and honestly tend to stray away from western\/TV series with ‘real’ people. <\/strong><\/p>\n

6. What genre is your favorite to cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Western Comics, for sure! I’m a *huge* DC fan and collect everything bat family related, and love cosplaying comic characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a07. Do you do other modeling besides cosplay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Not at all. I’ve never really had the opportunity – the only reason I really do cosplay “modeling” is to show off my own hard work and effort, so any other type doesn’t really interest me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. What are your plans for the future? Hmm.. Lot’s more cosplay! I’m moving to the west coast soon and conventions there are VERY different from Canadian ones, and I have lots of cosplay plans. Hopefully soon i’ll be able to go to Dragon*Con! The only solid plan I have, though, is lots more sewing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a09. Where can my readers see more examples of your work?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I post all of my favorite photos on my deviantart: www.tenleid.deviantart.com<\/a><\/strong>
\nI post all my progress on my tumblr “cosplay” tag: www.tenleid.tumblr.com\/tagged\/cosplay<\/a> <\/strong>
\nAnd I post all of my photos, including the less artistic, on my cosplay.com<\/a> account: www.cosplay.com\/member\/252102\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Oh, that’s reaaaaally hard! It’s honestly a tie between Yoko Littner and Black Bat. They’re both characters I absolutely LOVE, and have cosplayed at a lot of events. If I absolutely HAD to pick, i’d say Blackbat, simply because it’s a little more comfortable than Yoko.<\/strong><\/p>\n
