Cosplay is a complex combination of multiple disciplines, including sewing, modeling, and even acting. Yet, many cosplayers looking to take their craft to the next level often neglect one of the single most important elements: their own body. For aspiring cosplay pros and ambitious first-timers, this panel will address the physique as a component to cosplaying, approaching the body as an integral part of a good costume. Topics that will be discussed include comparisons of popular diets, fitness approaches and exercise programs, body-sculpting, and taking control of one's body in an effective and healthy manner.
