Today is my 98th cosplay interview and I am honored that you, my fellow NERDs, really enjoy them.\u00a0 Today’s focus is on a cosplayer all the way from Spain.\u00a0 I first saw her Dark Phoenix on the world wide web a few months ago and I knew then that I had to interview her.\u00a0 Once I saw her other cosplays, I realized that I was right and that you would enjoy her work.\u00a0 So what you need to do, is after reading this interview, you need to go to her FB page and check out her countless, talented cosplays.\u00a0 Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you my interview with Hikari Kat Cosplay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Hi! I\u2019m Alba. I\u2019m nearly 26 and I live in a little town near Barcelona, in Spain. I\u2019m an illustrator-in-training trying to do my best for enjoy my work and my hobbies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Well, I liked to dress up since I was a child but I didn\u2019t knew what cosplay was until I was fourteen or fifteen, when I started to go to conventions. I made my first costume with sixteen years but didn\u2019t work very well\u2026 In 2005 and 2006 I made my first costume taking more seriously until now =P<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Your Dark Phoenix cosplay is absolutely amazing!. What made you come up with that idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like almost all Jean Grey\u2019s designs I\u2019ve seen until now but I loved the Phoenix\/Dark Phoenix designs since I saw it the first time. I didn\u2019t read anything about X-men but I knew a little about the story. My sister gave me the \u201cDark phoenix saga\u201d for Christmas years ago. I didn\u2019t want to cosplay her without reading her story first and well, that happened last year =) I read more Marvel\/DC\/etc until now =)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

Only Phoenix, if you are talking about American-comic. I cosplayed many manga-characters the firsts years and I have many great memories of it =)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0As I said before, I cosplayed many manganime characters the first years but now I prefer videogames.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

\u00a0I go to the convention for see people who I don\u2019t normally see. Cosplay is just the perfect excuse for it =) I like to make shoots too, of course! But I can make them whenever I want without a convention for it ;)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Well, I modeling but I\u2019M NOT a model. My boyfriend (Hidrico) is a photographer and retoucher and I have modeled for him many times =) Only for that reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

Well, first, I want to finish my illustration final project and graduate. After\u2026 Who knows? I have many projects of cosplay but I\u2019m noooot in a hurry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0You can see my work on my Facebook page.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0It\u2019s difficult to choose one\u2026 I don\u2019t know. My costumes are more simple recently. I didn\u2019t make any armor costume, for example, or a\u2026 \u201cVictorian\u201d dress. Well, Yuuko (xxxHolic) is a Victorian dress, but I would like to fix her. Every costume has a part of me because I made every costume with all my effort and illusion<\/strong><\/p>\n
