Craftsmanship Competitions are a huge part of the Cosplay Community. With hundreds of competitors and a panel of judges at every convention, there is harsh critique and judging of every costume. I have competed four times and won major awards in three of them. Below are those cosplays as well as the build books that I presented to the judges with proof and technique for each piece.
