Hello! I’m living in Germany, but I am of Polish decent. I’m a fanartist since the age of thirteen. When I stumbled upon Hetalia, I was really glad to find a manga dealing with different countries interacting with each other as I’ve never seen something like this before! My favourite characters are Russia, Prussia, Germany, France, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Iceland and Finland. Also, I like the genderbend ‘Nyotalia’ versions of the nations as well as creating own characters from countries which didn’t show up in canon yet.

Let’s enjoy Fanarts of Gentiana’s!

1. Sweden/Finland

Sweden/Finland
Comments from the artist: I really enjoy drawing pairings, and Sweden/Finland is one of my favourite. So, have some medieval dressed Finland and Sweden surrounded by the most typical thing for Northern Europe- snow! Coloured with watercolors.

2. Japan/Taiwan

Japan/Taiwan
Comments from the artist: Another favourite pairing of mine is Japan/Taiwan. Even though they hadn’t much interaction in the manga yet, I still think they’re cute together! Drawn with a Bambbo tablet in Photoshop.

3. Greece

Greece
Comments from the artist: Mostly song inspired, I came up with a slight thoughtful fanart of Greece. I hope I captured the scenery well, and of course, there is one of Greece’s numberous cats! Drawn in Photoshop.

4. Romania

Romania
Comments from the artist: As soon as Romania had his first appearance, I wanted to draw him so badly and I am quite content with what came out. Drawn in Photoshop.

5. Russia/Prussia

Russia/Prussia
Comments from the artist: Last but not least my absolute favourite pairing, Russia/Prussia, but this time with the Nytolia version of Prussia. I think they are perfect for each other, I should definitely draw more of them! Drawn in SAI

Hetalia Fanart Contest – Natsu (Ilaria Ester)

Artist Bio:
Name : Natsu (Ilaria Ester)
Gender : Female
Nationality: Italian
Social Networks: Devianart

Hello everyone! I’m Nat and I live in Italy. I discovered Hetalia in 2009, when most of the characters weren’t even been created! I loved the way Hetalia can make history something fun, even if I hate when people say Hetalia IS history. My favorite characters are Denmark, Iceland, Holland, Monaco, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan. I made a lot of Hetalia cosplay, the first one was China, three years ago. Then Taiwan, America (in three different versions), Denmark, Monaco (Gakuen Hetalia), Seychelles, Ukraine.
I’m extremely sad Hetalia fandom went worsening within the years.

Let’s enjoy Fanarts of Natsu’s!

1. Japan/Kiku Honda

Japan/Kiku Honda
Comments from the artist: I made this draw for my finals, when I presented “Japan’s modernization and its trade relation with the West” as main theme. I wanted to show the kind and traditionalist Japan, and to the opposite his ‘war-side’. When I put a texture with photoshop, I accidentally covered the atomic mushroom I drawed between war-Japan and kimono-Japan and, in the upper part, the Pearl Harbour’s attack. I made this with a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet, on SAI and then modified it with Photoshop

2. Denmark, Iceland and Norway

Denmark, Iceland and Norway
Comments from the artist: Isn’t strange finding three out of five nordic nation with swimsuit, around a pool? XD Summer comes even for them! I made this as prize for the Hetalia Quiz we held at out Hetalia Day. I made this with a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet, on SAI

3. America and England

America and England
Comments from the artist: I find this date so melancholic, for England. I wanted do draw something for America’s birthday but it just turned out in this random and saddish thing XDD I made this with a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet, on SAI

4. Denmark

Denmark
Comments from the artist: As you see, I really love Denmark. I find him very sexy so I drawed him in this sensual pose XD I made this with a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet, on SAI

5. Hong Kong and male!Taiwan

Hong Kong and male!Taiwan
Comments from the artist: I love them togheter, as brothers or as lovers, as in genderbend or not. Even if Hong Kong is such a sulker, I think Taiwan is the only one who can manage to softer him~. I made this with a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet, on SAI

Bleach Cosplay Contest in January – Tenchi Bery

Bleach

Cosplayer Bio:

Gender: Female
Nationality: American

Personal Blog

I’m Tenchi Bery. I’m 26 and live in Florida. I’ve been cosplaying since 2000. I actively compete in costume contests and enjoy big challenging costumes. I run a costume commissioning and photography company named Tenchi Bery Enterprises.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Tenchi‘s Bleach Cosplay Performance

Character: Abarai Renji

Description: Abarai Renji with Zabimaru in Bankai Form from Bleach. I LOVE Renji and hope to eventually make all his forms. This is a giant project that took 6 months and cost over $600. I shaved my own head for it. I also wove my own sandals. I like to say that the only part of this costume and prop that I didn’t make was the socks…I only altered those.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here’s a simple interview:

Q: How did you know our contest? And how much have you known about Miccostumes.com?

A: I was invited to join via FB. Notthing.

Q: Is Bleach cosplay your favorite theme? Which character from Bleach do you most like? Is the costume for this character covered here or in our store?

A: Not at all. Abarai Renji or Kuchiki Byakuya. His Gotei 13 outfit is, but mine is Bankai.

Q: What’s your first cosplay? How do you think about it? Is there any photo shared with us?

A: Ranma 1/2 – Ra-chan back in 2000. Went to my first con, went home and threw it together for the next day of the con.

Q: Is there any cosplay plan recently? Or which cosplay convention are you interested in taking part in?

A: Right now I’m not planing much. Trainee Grell from Kuroshitsuji: Will the Shinigami OVA and Oga Tatsumi from Beelzebub.

Q: How long will you continue to do cosplay? Or do you think you will do it all the time? What does cosplay mean to you? Is there any element rather attractive for you?

A: Forever? I  have so many plans for when I’m older. Lol Cosplay means everything to me. It’s an expression of my fandom, it’s an expression of my art it’s an expression of me. But almost all cosplayers are fond of the attention so admittedly that’s part of it.

Q: We will be interested to know the most memorable moment you got during cosplay.

A: There are SO many. I’ve been cosplaying since Nov. 2000. One of my favorites though was at Anime Festival Orlando XI. I was dressed as Sonozaki Shion form Higurashi no naku koro ni and just wandering the halls. A had a young man come running from across the convention center shouting “SHION!! SHION!!!” He gets up to me, camera in hand, and tells me that he LOVES Shion and that seeing my cosplay just made his con….and that he wants a picture. lol It’s another aspect of cosplay that I love though. To make fans happy just from wearing a well made costume.

Q: It’s believed our cosplay fans will be grateful if you can share us with your experience in this performance art. What’s the most important aspect for a cosplay beginner?

A: Perseverance. Experience is the key with cosplay. The more you get used to crafting odd shapes and pieces the better it gets. Don’t be afraid to try, don’t let yourself get discourraged and just keep at it. ^_^

Q: Do your family members support you? Do you often talk about your cosplay works with them? Do they also love what you’ve done?

A: Some do some don’t. My mom is pretty supportive. It’s only my biggest and most insane things that everyone kinda backs off from. I talk about my cosplay with anyone who will listen and frankly sometimes they’re the only ones who are even willing to listen lol My mom often says that she likes seeing me transform plain looking craft supplies into such awesome pieces.

Bleach Cosplay Contest in January – Daricio

Name: Daricio

Hello! I’m Daricio! I’ve been making cosplay costumes for a few years now, though I’m by no means a professional. I don’t have much of a budget for costume making, but I try my best with what I have, and I manage to get some pretty good results, considering. I have a lot of fun making and wearing my costumes!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Daricio‘s Bleach Cosplay Performance

1. Character: Ishida Uryuu

Description: Ishida Uryuu, Quincy. The collar got a little ruffled while I was posing, so it looks a little strange here… But this photo best shows the entire outfit.

Description: Should I have smiled for this picture? I don’t know…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here’s a simple interview:

Q: How did you know our contest? And how much have you known about Miccostumes.com?

A: I discovered the contest through a link from deviantart, I think. Before that, I’d never heard of Miccostumes.com.

Q: Is Bleach cosplay your favorite theme? Which character from Bleach do you most like? Is the costume for this character covered here or in our store?

A: Yes, Bleach cosplay is my favorite theme, though I’ve recently been branching out and trying costumes for other fandoms as well. My favorite character is definitely Ichigo’s inner hollow, though I love most of the characters from Bleach, including Ishida Uryuu (obviously). Ichigo’s hollow does have a costume in the store, but my favorite costume for Ishida (the one that I cosplayed) isn’t here.

Q: What’s your first cosplay? How do you think about it? Is there any photo shared with us?

A: My very first cosplay outfit was Urahara Kisuke, which I created as a Halloween costume for my little sister. Considering that I modified a dark green bathrobe bought from a thrift store to make the coat, it turned out pretty good. Strangely, I don’t seem to have any pictures of this costume.

Q: Is there any cosplay plan recently? Or which cosplay convention are you interested in taking part in?

A: I just finished making a costume for Princess Zelda from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (also for my little sister) and my next project is going to be a matching Sheik costume for myself. My sister and I went to Sakuracon 2011 (our first convention), and I really hope to be able to go to that again!

Q: How long will you continue to do cosplay? Or do you think you will do it all the time? What does cosplay mean to you? Is there any element rather attractive for you?

A: Cosplay is just a hobby for me, mostly because I don’t have enough money to make costumes very often, but I hope to be able to continue making them for as long as I am able! Cosplay is, for me, a really fun way of showing my love for the fandoms and characters that I cosplay. I love improving my skills little by little, and making costumes that people like.

Q: We will be interested to know the most memorable moment you got during cosplay.

A: At Sakuracon, I was stopped in the hallway so that someone could take a picture of my Ishida costume. After I posed for the picture, she asked if she could have a hug, so I did. It made me really thrilled that someone actually recognized and liked my costume, since whenever I wear my cosplay costumes for Halloween, I usually get a lot of strange guesses. (“Are you… Princess Leia?”)

Q: It’s believed our cosplay fans will be grateful if you can share us with your experience in this performance art. What’s the most important aspect for a cosplay beginner?

A: The most important aspect for a beginner is to have fun and don’t be a perfectionist. The more you work on your skills, the better you get, so don’t think that everything has to turn out exactly right the first time. Stitches can always be taken out if mistakes are made.

Q: Do your family members support you? Do you often talk about your cosplay works with them? Do they also love what you’ve done?

A: My little sister is the reason I started making cosplay outfits in the first place, since she wanted a costume and I actually know how to sew. She’s the one who typically gives me ideas for what costumes to make next. My parents think my hobby is a little strange (and a bit expensive) but my mom recently gave me her old sewing machine, and she helped me take the photos, so I like to think she supports my strange ideas.
