Feature Friday: Super Savage Cosplay
My favorite con this year has been PAX East in Boston. It was unlike any con that I’ve ever been to before, and the cosplay there was like being immersed inside of all of your favorite video games at once. One cosplayer I was lucky enough to introduce myself to was Savage83. The first photo you will see is Alphonse Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, which is the cosplay I met him in. If you haven’t watched that show you should definitely get on it, and be on the lookout for a possible group collaboration at Dragon Con! Make sure to read the full interview to learn more!
