From $101 to $600: apparently, that’s how much cosplayers spend for a costume. If you, like me, think that this is crazy money, remember that it’s on average, meaning a high-end cos art can set you back $2,000.
For many cosplay aficionados, however, this is not an option, which means they gotta keep their spirits high and put in an extra amount of skill, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to come up with some incredible cosplay art. This is precisely what the internet’s most loved cosplay enthusiast is doing, and he’s doing it very well.
Meet Anucha “Cha” Saengchart, a Thai guy who went viral for nailing his “low-cost cosplay” looks with his DIY skills. “Everything is cosplay,” states the slogan on Saenchart’s Facebook and it seems that his 6 million followers and counting totally agree.
Most importantly, there is really no right or wrong way to cosplay. “You can simply pull something from your closet, buy an expensive costume, or make your own. It can be from a hugely popular series, or even a relatively unknown series. You could even make an NPC from a video game if you wanted to!”
Jesse concluded that cosplay at the end of the day is supposed to be fun. “We come together in this hobby because we’re all a little nerdy in our own ways, and we want to show our love and meet others who share our interests,” they said.
