I am Ace of Prince, a Cosplayer and Creator of over 11+ years and member of Triple Threat Cosplay!

My time in this wonderful community inspired me to chase it from a passionate Hobby into a Professional workspace, and I followed my love for Character design and creation into a (BA) Hons Degree in Make-Up and Hair for Theatre and Film.

Through training and self-teaching, I’ve honed my skills in Make-up, Wigs, Sewing, Prop-building and Foamwork, Modelling, Photography and Editing! All this allowed me to make cosplays from games such as Super Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Don’t Starve, and then other medias like Peter Pan, Dungeons and Dragons and Nightmare before Christmas!

I’m even more excited to be bringing more fresh cosplays to life in 2024, including Nier Automata and Bendy and the Ink Machine!
