I wouldn't say that I'm not one of those people who gets hooked by lovely, cute, colorful things...because I AM. COSPLAY is manifesting itself in different malls these days and I for one loved the promotion of this performing art. Lets just hope event coordinators don't get greedy and decide to make money out of this medium.
I've been away from the cosplay scene these weeks...solely because I'm busy with A LOT of OTHER THINGS! I wish, i wish I can be with the cosplayers all day long...sadly, it's gonna stay as a dream...for now... hehe.
I'm posting late pictures from the cosplay gathering, KOSUPUREDETO (Cosplay Date) last February 5, 2011. I can not post all 75+ cosplayers because...well...there are just TOO MANY to post here! Check the FB accounts for more pics. I believe Bian from TINTA|productions posted a LOT of individual pictures.

| Kakashi and Kaka-she from CEBU City, Bian, Vench, Mac, Fu and Jay enjoying the earlier hustle and bustle in the event center. Most people here at that time were getting to know each other. |
 |
| Maid in Heaven! XD I was planning on getting this category added in the ANIMOTION 2011...hope things go well.. |

| MINI TOUSHIRO! Argh...one of the crowd drawers... This lil kid is a relative of Hemmy from TINTA|production and OG. |
 |
| OMAYFATOLA! Jay looks like...well... X3 Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei!!!! |
 |
| Another cute cosplayer. She's cosplayin Yachiro from the anime Bleach! Nyuhhuuu~ |
 |
| Epic couple from Cebu: Kakashi and Kaka-she. Miss you guys. Hope to be there this summer! |
 |
| So many new faces! Hope I can all know their names!!! I'm not so good with names though... |
 |
| Very cute indeed! The best part about KosupureDeto is that there are a LOT of variety in the anime characters that the cosplayers chose to cosplay. It's so nice to see characters from different anime series without a double. |
 |
| Of course...Naruto will always be present...in this case...NARUKO! ^_^ I love this version. |
 |
| Lelouche also showed up. Nyahhhah! So many new faces! |
These days I'm busy with the ICI Team. What is ICI??? ICI is Ice Cream Indie <--- a local team of manga artists who publish their own manga within the city (for now). I've been recently plucked out...HAHAHAH thanks to Oyabun and Shids... Now the team of two immediately multiplied to a team of six because the BLOTS Inc. (TINTA|production's Ink Art team) joined the ICI banner.
 |
| Ice Cream Indie. Hope to see you guy this coming March 4, 2011. We will be launching our 2.5 Issue! |
Manga (Japanese Comics) has always been a part of my life since HS. Jay and I have been creating our stories and imagining visions of them since we first saw Ghostfighters (YuYu Hakusho) back in 1997. When we were separated in 2001, we did not stop talking about these...we email each other and plan...plan...plan... Until we met again in Manila 2004 where we did our first Manga...that did not get published because of some technical error. Anyway! In all those years not making mangas, I did not stop writing.
One of my written works is ROOK of the RATS. It's basically staged in a fictional medieval age that reflects the very society of Pinas. Originally, ROOK is written in narrative form...which makes it difficult to transform given that graphic-wise, it is very demanding.
Jay Wong took charge of sketch. Joe Ming and Fu Odashima took charge of Ink and Layout. I ended up with scriptwriting and toning...which I need more time to practice. The story is about a young thief, Rook...who grew up with a Thieving Guild ran by an Old Thief Queen. Living in the old trading city of Lunetta, this guild has ruled over the underground kingdom that rebels against the tyrannical kingdom of the Sunivan Clan. As you read through the manga, you will not only notice similarities to our own country but also fun and exciting adventures of a kid's life and of course, ROMANCE.
It is a blessing that I came to meet Shids and Oyabun. We talked about it...in truth...I can't even remember when it started? It just...POPPED OUTTA NOWHERE! And then we'll be launching the Issue 2.5 this March 4! 0,0 WooooaaahhH! No kidding! Time sure flies...
Aside from Shida's "IN HER WORLD" and "RISING UNDERGROUND," we will also be releasing Kou's "WISHFUL THINKING" and BLOTS Inc's "ROOK of the RATS."
After freaking out for 2 weeks, we met last night to check on the artworks. I really need practice. Arghhh! Thank you so much, Shids and Kou for helping me out! My eternal thanks!!!
Hoping you guys will come to love our stories and art. Remember, it's OUR VERY OWN LOCAL MANGA! Let's support this and see it fly. Remember how the cosplay community bloomed? WE CAN! So please support the Local Comic Artists of Bacolod.
Enjoy!
katz :3
