Ring of Fire Con (ROFCON)

Ever wanted to ask a cosplayer just how they made those awesome shoulder pauldrons? Maybe how to go about choosing costumes for a specific convention, or how to get started with cosplay? How about some questions that aren't cosplay related at all? This Q&A is centered around the do-it-yourself methods of a local on-the-rise cosplayer ranging from cheaper alternative methods of armor crafting to how to do your own photoshoot and even how to develop your own unique identity as a cosplayer in a rapidly growing community.
