definition of younger generation 在 Yao&Alma TW Cosplayer Facebook 的最佳解答
[Leisure talk]
Nothing in particular, just felt like sharing some of my thought… just take it as a mumbling session from me……
Being in ACG circle for almost 19 years, there’s by fits and starts (Yao did portrait shooting in the middle of time). I came back 6 years ago, start it all over again and giving full force into cosplay. All this while, I position cosplay as my hobby. However, hardly to take a hobby as a permanent job. FYI, it will no longer a pure hobby when it slowly went into a business pathway. It will slowly be depressing yourself, will started to force yourself to do some character that you don’t like, slowly forget who you’re, and you’ll started to doubt your life. “How if I’m no longer famous, can I still get a job now?” Started to fight with others, comparing among your friends, there’s also someone who starting to take advantages from someone to ensure self to be on top, bad mouth others and so on……
Yao met with similar kind of people before, and started to slowly keep distance with them. So, sometimes people come and ask me “Hey Yao, why don’t you work with who in particular…? Maybe, just maybe he or she is that kind of person that I’m don’t appreciate. Anyways, we are speaking different languages. I just want to happily stay in my cosplay life. I don’t want to waste time on someone who has a different mindset as mine. It will just spoil my mood.
By the way, Yao is someone who doesn’t like to stay in the same style forever. It will eventually reflect on out photos! No matter is cosplay or some style of photograph. I wish to try my best to try on different things. Maybe some people might say, we’re walking towards sexy-lusty pathway. Let me guess, the one who say so is someone that never be with us since the very beginning right? And never know us well too. Our portfolio involving many different kind of style. Since we have our own fans page, we’re still doing the same style as now. And there’s many different kinds of photography style and in between of sexy-lusty and artistic everyone has their own definition too. If you don’t like it you can choose to leave. Because of this matter occur the dropping of fans amount, ignoring our others signature portfolio… All I can said was you don’t know us; you don’t understand us at all.
My profession is from Art stream and current job relates to art too (we’re not professional cosplayer). Most of the time, I will view it in an artistic way. Therefore, it is hard to determine the differences between those two. There’s something called Art in Lust, which more towards western style; western culture. Where more open-minded and higher acceptance level from them. I stayed in portrait shooting quite some time, so I slowly adapted into the culture and try on different culture of shooting too. However, I think maybe this is what’s happening in Asia , most of them is in a conservative mindset. Where most of the cosplayer is in the younger generation too. Be frank, I’m not surprise on the number of peoples reporting our Facebook page. Because of this issue, we decided to place most of our sexier portfolio in e-magazine. Where you will need to meet certain requirement to view the photos. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the one who supporting us but can’t meet the requirement to view the photos.
Regarding on the attitude toward cosplay…
With the interest of creating a better creative idea,
I personally think that cosplayer and illustrator do work the same, other than originality there’s other possibility too. It is free to create, self-serving, full with imagination…
I love to take storyline-based photos which is more originally relates to the project. It actually can let us portrait the character though acting, act the characteristic of the chosen character, figure out a different emotional feeling… It felt so good! I believe this is the best part of cosplay, and I personally like this part the most too. But I like to take some self-serving portfolio too. I like to try some different direction like CP,BL, GL, Transgender, Funny, Playful and OOC too. I love having the freedom of creativity within my world. That allows me to have all kind of thinking and direction for the character.
In the meanwhile, let’s say im in a cosplay working condition I will be in a different emotional and attitude too. I’m someone who very strict (to my partner too!) when it comes to work. I will make sure that I’m fully into situation, into the character. I’ll make sure is the character who lead the way, bring in the character emotional and feeling, just like be possessed by the character. This is my working attitude during my cosplay working time.
Of course, this is my situation. Everyone has their own way and principle to portrait their character. We should respect each other’s.
My personal thought:
Cosplay is you’re happy to be in that character
Cosplay is the challenges on the character originality
Cosplay is you bring out something from the virtual world and your mind
Cosplay is something that you can input your creativity and thinking
Cosplay is found someone who has the same passionate as you do
Cosplay is respect other’s even different thought
Cosplay is can create new spark even with different type of thought or different type of presenting
Cosplay is love, where comes with friendship, hard work and memories
No matter you are professional cosplayer part-timer cosplayer, originality team, full with self-serving OOC team, ps, or illustrator…
As long as you felt happy, never force yourself to do something that you dislike, never bad mouth or bully anyone… why not?
Cosplay is something that’s make you feel happy. If you felt stressful, perhaps you can try to adjust your feeling toward cosplay and review the current situation? With this I believe will slowly found the satisfaction and happiness in it
Still the same advice from me – never forget the reason, have fun-
Thank you for supporting the capricious me! Thanks for not only like our work but me too. I truly love every one of you ^_^

其實也沒什麼,只是想把一些想對自己與你們說的話說出來,就當是我個人的碎碎念吧⋯⋯
玩cos玩了19年,中間一度斷斷續續的(教主跑去拍人像),從六年前重新回來認真玩cos,一直以來都把cos的定位放在興趣,因為所謂的興趣當飯吃,那就不會是那麼單純的興趣了,它可能會變得有壓力,會逼自己出不喜歡的角色,會得失心很重,會擔心不紅之後還能做什麼工作。會整天想與人競爭,跟自己的朋友比較來比較去,有人甚至會想利用別人或踩著他人往上爬,黑別人等等等。
教主自己遇過這樣的人,所以自然保持距離,所以有時候有人問我,你怎麼沒跟誰誰誰合作了⋯⋯,那可能就是他就是那樣的人囉,所謂道不同不相為謀,我想只純粹的玩cosplay,不想跟理念不一樣的人浪費時間而已,因為那樣一點也不開心。
然後教主是一個不喜歡一成不變的人,這會反應在我的作品上,不管是cos或是拍攝的攝影作品風格,我都想儘量嘗試。也許有人會說,我現在都喜歡拍肉的,尺度大怎樣的,那我想你一定是沒有從頭關注我們,沒有認真看我們的粉專,我們的作品五花八門,各種風格都有;況且,我一開始創立粉專的時候,尺度就不小,再說,肉跟藝術這種界定本來就見仁見智,不喜歡你可以不要看,慢走不送,你因為這樣就脫粉,選擇忽略我們拍攝的其他東西,那我只能說,你真的很不了解我們。
教主本身是學藝術出身,現在的正職工作也是(我們不是職業coser ),我看很多東西都會先以藝術眼光去看,很難評斷是否色情,因為還有一種東西叫做情慾藝術,歐美風氣也都比較開放大方,教主之前又一陣子待在人像圈,漸而習慣不以為意,但我想因為我們是東方人,cos界平均年齡又偏小的關係,大部分人觀念保守的情況下,粉專被檢舉也是層出不窮,因此,我們現在只要有關肉或性感題材,一律以電子檔的方式販售,這一點,還請一直支持我們的你多多包含。
關於教主對於cos的態度.......
在興趣創作的情況下,
我認為cos跟繪師一樣,除了還原,還有著各種可能性,它是自由的,私心的,充滿妄想的。
我喜歡拍還原原作劇情的照片,因為可以演藝自己的演技,表現那個角色的個性,揣摩情緒,真的很過癮,我想這是cosplay最迷人的地方,也是我最喜歡的部分。
但我也喜歡拍私心的東西,喜歡拍喜歡的CP,bl、gl、惡搞、性轉等等ooc的東西。我喜歡在我的地盤自由發揮創作與構想。
然而如果今天是工作的狀態就完全不同了,我會對自己與搭檔非常嚴厲,工作狀態的我會完全還原角色個性中,我會角色帶入,情感帶入,就像附身一樣,這是我對於自己cos工作時的態度要求。
當然,這只是我個人狀況,每個人有自己的表現方式與原則,我們都應互相尊重包容。
我認為:
Cos是成為喜愛角色的那份興奮與滿足
Cos是還原角色的那份挑戰
Cos是將腦內妄想成為現實的轉換
Cos是表達個人理念與的藝術表現
Cos是與自己想法一致的人產生共鳴的那份感動
Cos是尊重包容與你不同觀點的人的那份體貼
Cos是不同的畫風,不同的概念下產生的新火花
Cos是愛,乘載著友情、心酸、與回憶
不管是職業coser,業餘coser,還原派、充滿個人私心的ooc派,ps繪師派⋯⋯
只要是打從心底開心,不強迫做自己不喜歡做得事,不黑不謾罵霸凌別人,有何不可?
Cos是開心的,自由的;如果你的cos讓你充滿壓力,可能要改變一下心態或是重新審視自己的現況了,才能從中得到真正的滿足與快樂。
還是那句老話:—莫忘初心,玩得開心—
謝謝一直支持喜歡如此任性多變的我,謝謝不只是喜歡我的cos作品而是喜歡「我」這個人的朋友們;我真心愛你們^_^。
