“Honestly, I think I am going to continue cosplay of course, but I am going to try improving. I always pick difficult cosplays ‘cause I need to learn something from them. I do not pick something that would be super easy to do like in a day. Just wanna try to make really hard cosplays and improve my skills and maybe one day sell them, but I doubt. Maybe after some cosplaying here and there. It’s gonna stay forever as an hobby, but I might get in to movie costumes. I may get into that or theatre.”
