Cruising Cosplays Since 2006

| INTRODUCTION |


Cosplay is all about making the impossible possible. The craftsmanship behind each costume is something which should be appreciated for what it is; an art, and appreciation of the character it represents.

Being in character always goes hand-in-hand with being in costume for us (as far as possible without being obnoxious XD). To us, cosplaying is about creating the illusion that the character actually exists, simply because we love the thought of them walking the same planet as we do. If we are able to bring that illusion to life for someone else to enjoy, then the time it takes to make a costume is never wasted.

Until the summer 2009, this was a blog used exclusively for the cosplay group Sweden Ace Cosplay, but after the group's break up, we're using it to gather a complete archive of the costumes of some of the former members, as they cruise cosplay groups and sometimes do new projects together.

( Dean and I share a more profound bond )

I hope you enjoyed our little photospam! We had so much fun taking these pictures, even though it was freezing cold that day and Matti (Cas) ended up spending half a week in bed with a cold because of it.

[edit] This post has inspired some really gorgeous drabbles by xlamentcasx, which you should really go check out!

Castiel: shisukoisa
Dean Winchester: exorcistor

Just a few pictures of us as we were testing make-up for Dean and Cas last night. N'joy?

Hmm let's see how this "com-puu-tar" works?

'Sup Cas watcha doin'?

Surfing the web, huh? I could show you a few good sites... hehe...

Hey let's look awkward and stiff.

Or, err... The other thing we do? Stare at each other longingly?

AWKWARD IS THE WORD.

Teaching Cas the Winchester derpface.

We did fanservice...! o__O Hope you enjoyed; this weekend we'll be having the amazing photographer aadamoo over for a Supernatural marathon, and we might be lucky enough to get a few really awesome pictures.

Being a hairdresser and stylist, shisukoisa is very passionate about the wig part of cosplay. Here are some of his favourite tips on cutting a wig! You can view it on his Deviantart.
