There are many talented models and performers who bring their love & enthusiasm to dressing up as their favorite characters. Comic Book Critic will occasionally showcase a performer who embodies this spirit of cosplaying.
Whether it’s creating the costume from scratch, altering the appearance of an existing one, or just getting into character, these performers spend a lot of time and effort on their craft. As much as we all enjoy seeing our favorite fictional characters represented in real life, let’s not forget the behind-the-scenes work that goes into that portrayal.
One thing is for certain though, their love of cosplaying shines through in their work.
The Comic Book Critic Featured Cosplayer Interview is:
Ashe Rogue is a self described geek at heart who began cosplaying back in 2006; She’s a dancer, musician, cosplayer, gamer, artist, & costume maker among many other things.
Ashe has cosplayed many characters over the years and no matter who she’s portraying, she always manages to look great in each role. As a founding member of The Geekettes, she and her friends keep busy with their craft year round. We were lucky enough to catch up to Ashe when she had some free time to do an interview.
