So I somewhat regret to inform this, but I think this will be my last year of serious cosplaying.

I love doing it, and it is an amazing passion of mine, but because of it I have greatly neglected my true passion and thing that I have aspired for so long to pursue: my artwork.

This is not to say that I will no longer be attending any conventions, but starting next year they will toned down to maybe only 2-3 a year. I will probably only make 1-2 costumes next year, if even that, and the rest will be rewears of things I will be making this year and in the past. I will instead be focusing on getting artist tables and selling my artwork and maybe small costume pieces, and just getting to enjoy life and other hobbies, as well as hopefully getting married and moving to Japan to continue my studies.

I love my cosplay family, convention family and all of the friends and memories I have made. This doesn't mean I am quitting permanantly, but it will be toned down a lot, as I will be taking quite the break from it to continue to pursue my dream. I hope you all can understand.
