He is an advocate of acceptance and equality in the cosplay and con community, and loves helping anyone who wants to get into cosplay, or challenge themselves further. He particularly enjoys building screen-accurate cosplays on stilts and large props and; from a 10-foot Iron Giant, to his more recent builds of the AxeMan from the Resident Evil movie franchise, and Gun Devil from the Chainsaw Man anime.

Cosplay Judge: Adrihime

Where there is a space for fans of RPGs and anime, there’s Adrihime. You’ll find her expressing her love for her favorite titles through cosplay, shining most in her work as a sewist. With the experience, knowledge, and patience that it takes to sew a whole outfit in a single sitting, she has the adaptability to think on her feet…ready in a pinch to mend a cosplay! Although she describes herself as an introvert, just one mention of a Falcom game will yield more dialogue than perhaps the entire script of Detective Conan. Her current side project is acting as Game Tester for a new metroidvania called Horde of Viscount on https://hidash.itch.io/horde-of-viscount

Adrihime’s pronouns are she/her; she promotes a safe space for all cosplayers.
