Hi! I'm Ixtran Cosplay, I'm from Wales, and I've been cosplaying since 2015. I've competed
in and judged cosplay contests all over the UK, run cosplay zones, hosted panels, worked for videogame companies, modeled, acted, and jumped at every other opportunity cosplay has led me towards over the years.
I started out with a bought costume, fell in love with cosplay, and over the years taught myself to sew, style wigs, use make-up, and my particular speciality - work with EVA foam to create all sorts of costumes.

HI!!! My name’s Kirby, a 26 year young cosplayer from the South of England. Like many people I started cosplay in 2020 during the pandemic after my friend told me I looked like Adora from She-ra. I've always been a creative person and cosplay has given me the creative outlet that I never had before. My favourite thing is when I can blend my two passions of cosplay and martial arts together when making tiktoks or photo shoots etc. I've made many cosplays where I've adjusted items of clothing that I had around the house but last year I made my very first cosplay from scratch, which taught me so much from sewing to foam work. I've come to love the feeling of making my own cosplays to bring my favourite characters to life!!
