No Secret Sauce in Cosplay

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/13

There’s no sauce. Everyone is looking for this secret kernel of information related to making money online or success or popularity, but the reality is – there’s no sauceAnd that’s not because I haven’t looked or I’m taking an easy way out or that it just isn’t working for me – there really is no fast / standard way to do anything that just gets you rich quick that people are hiding from you.In fact – being rich and popular are 2 of the most boring things on earth, and honestly – once most people

Doing Only What's Popular

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/12

If you only do what’s popular – wait…isn’t everything with Cosplay more or less something that was or is popular? Aren’t all the characters and costumes well known to some extent?What I mean is – and what I kind of talked about yesterday, is that you don’t need to limit yourself to doing only what’s trending in entertainment to be relevant in what you create.Possibly the cosplay doesn’t resonate with you, but it’s whatever’s on streaming so you do it – and that leads to…what exactly?You being upset

Pop Cosplay

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/11

Pop Cosplay is a term that I use to describe a growing population of Cosplayers that only cosplay whatever’s coming out next in movies, or on streaming. It’s whatever’s popular that week, or day, or month – they ride trends.Do you as a Cosplayer need to get into Pop Cosplay? Are you feeling pressure to create new cosplays at a breakneck pace and only those that are popular based on the release dates of movies and series?This is probably not a great place to start and an even worse place for you to

The Big Asks

2022/08/10

How do you navigate asking someone in the Cosplay space to do something with you?Asking for things in Cosplay isn’t as daunting as it sounds. Many creators are easy to approach, but like anyone else and in any other circumstance – there are a few don’ts when asking someone to collaborate, be a part of a project, sell something – whatever the case may be.Find us online:https://www.heroesofcosplaysanctuary.com/Find the Sanctuary on Social:With Co-Host @astravoidcosplayFollow Her On Instagram &

YouTube is the Way - But It's a lot of Work

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/09

We link YouTube here at Heroes, but wow is it a lot of work for nothing.Will YouTube make you rich? Not likely – unless you were already. Or were a celebrity, journalist, or had a notable career prior learning something connected to media or entertainment – that sells on YouTube. There’s also the crazy stuff – which gets a lot of views and often does not require much production. You just do crazy stuff for 10 – 30 seconds and people watch it. Short attention span theater.But YouTube can work –

Who Promotes You and Who Do You Promote?

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/08

This is going to be a strange episode. It’s not really about shout outs and being shouted, it’s not about making side deals and having people talk you up for money or something else that you’re trading. It’s about how people feel about you and how you feel about them in the online space.I say online, because it’s very different in real life – if you meet someone at a Con, you may or may not even recognize them – you might even thing their really closed off compared to the person you know from the

The Bad Math of Selling Yourself for a Cosplay Hobby

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/07

Linktrees are more and more often including a link to space that isn’t really Cosplay related – it is however money related – and what you’re selling, well…it’s probably the oldest profession out there.Is this what you wanted? You built a following to coerce people into buying YOU? Your time, your opinions, your…”art” so to speak? We’re not here to bash, but you could have easily done all of that without Cosplay.Does it give Cosplay a bad name? It can – but ASMR is banned in certain countries and

Fandom of Fandoms: Being a Fan of Cosplayers

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/04

Another issue with Cosplay – we begin to obsess not just over the actors and characters, but over the people portraying them – we spend more time congratulating and paying compliments to total strangers – for YEARS – on the internet, than we do our own friends and loved ones. We spend more time trying to gain access to a total stranger, whom we know almost nothing about (because let’s face it…IG and TikTok tell us nothing about people besides they have quite a bit of free time or extra energy) than

Drawing the Line in Cosplay

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/03

There’s a line we need to discuss in Cosplay – and it’s when we begin to harm ourselves in order to remain relevant in the Cosplay space – financial, physical, social hurt. It can burn us out. It can make us broke. It can become an obsession, and we can dwell on what the trolls are telling us about ourselves that isn’t true.Draw a line. Do not kill your relationships for Cosplay. Do not alienate people and destroy lives in the name of Cosplay. Don’t be that Karen that has to circulate rumors

Cosplay Makes You Broke! But it Doesn't Have To.

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/08/02

You will go broke trying to keep up with other cosplayers – Cosplay in and of itself is a hobby, which you can control the flow of money towards however…If you’re getting into Cosplay – then get into it – don’t get into Influencer Marketing that centers around Cosplay – that’s something different and if you’re out to show off on Instagram (and really…that’s the #1 place right now besides TikTok) you WILL GO BROKECosplays are expensive to make, maintain, and purchase.

The Cosparlor

Fun seems to be a word that is less and less associated with Cosplay. Fortunately, today’s guest reminds us that if you’re not having fun, it’s not really Cosplay. My next guest has no limits to her creativity, and there’s no Cosplay that can’t be made and made for the joy of creating a character. She’ll tell you that sometimes it takes being someone else to really be yourself. Lifelong creator and Cosplayer, putting the Play in Cosplay, in this episode we're talking to the talented creator

Let's Talk About X-Men

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/07/30

We're diving into many what-ifs about the X-Men in the MCU, the big project coming out from Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary, and really just a lot of fun X-Men discussion.Claremont seems the reasonable space to start, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Hickman’s X-men ended up being the model for Snyder. It’s more recent and the tree of plots probably fit better for a younger audience that’s now…well not as young – it’s been over a decade since Avengers.Jump into the Fandom with us in this

What is the X-Men Inferno Saga About?

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/07/29

In this episode, we're talking about the X-Men Inferno Saga and how we've worked to adapt a version of Chris Claremont's work into a Cosplay tribute trailer video.In short, it’s not going to be cannon. But it will tell the story and we want to be true to the story itself.Characters – We omitted quite a few – because there are so many in Inferno. It’s a crossover event, so there are X-men, X-Factor, New Mutants, and the X-terminators, which…I’m ok leaving out. I also will talk

Shamelessly promote the coming work we’re doing on Inferno Saga in this episodeWho – 15 Cosplayers getting together to make a short teaser of what I’ve envisioned the Claremont’s saga to be – with a few changes - it's not for profit, self-funded, and so far, really looking very cool.We’re over on the website, and we’ll put the video in as many places as we can at the end of 2022There are some shoots ongoing and everyone is filming remotely to bring the project together - let's get into the

When it Seems Like a Cosplayer is Everywhere

Heroes of Cosplay Sanctuary ·

2022/07/27

I’ve run into this before a few times. Maybe more than a few. Certain Cosplayers seem to drop enormous amounts of content on many platforms, be at premieres, on lives, and seemingly never busy…they’re everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Weird.I can attest – creating content takes up a lot of free time. Maybe photosets do not if you’re set up at home – then it’s really just motivation.But I don’t understand how you can be on lives in the middle of the week, and on Twitch, and rolling out

Convention Roomates

I don’t really have roommates at Cons, and I’ll tell you why in this episode.Roommates can help with expenses, help if makeup, costumes, and make your time at the con go really fast, but when you get to a certain age, you may be less inclined to A – stay at a Con that long and B – room with anyone because you’ve gotten set in your ways.If you’re used to having a roommate, like you did in college – you might not be as bothered. College – at least for the first two years – wasn’t a place where I got
