Hello everyone, Kad here with a little update.  I finally got what looks like a final Otakon line up. So here it is.



Sharrkan - Magi
Lucian (Gun Templar) - League of Legends
Mink - DRAMAtical Murder
Rapeman - Rapeman 4Ever Parody

Not sure what days I'm doing what. I usually figure that out the night before, unless I have shoots planed. XD

If I have time I'll add some side projects or past cosplays like Kassim, Rude, Aomine and etc. We'll see

Hopefully my Sharrkan cosplay will be better by the time Otakon comes around.  If any Magi Cosplayers are going, let me know. It's fun shooting with other people.  I also encourage anyone that hasn't seen Magi to take a look.  They have a wonderful collection of fun characters.  The designs are amazing.

SEEKING PHOTOGRAPHERS

I really want to shoot my new Lucian cosplay.  It should be ready by Otakon and look amazing.  Who is Lucian? This Badass...



This is a leak, an unconfirmed League of Legends Champion.  Looks like he could be an Adc.
Back to the main point here, I would love to have some shoots.  The thing is, I don't really know that many photographers, so if anyone is free or interested in shooting, comment, note, etc.  

While we are on this topic, I would also like to say that there will be a League meet up at Otakon.  Information is found in the link provided.

Alright so a few thing are "new" I guess.

First off I got the upgrade on Deviant Art. Yay!! Now I can make my profile beautiful.  Expect me to be more active and all that good stuff.

Starting from about late last year I focused a lot on getting my Astor Cos Project off the ground, well it isn't flying yet, but it's getting there.  I'm happy to say that the second issue looks a lot better than the first.  In fact it looks so much better that I'm making a remastered version of the first issue.  Once I finish this, I'll launch both the first and second issue digitally at the same time.  So stay with me and enjoy it once it releases.

This year I plan to promote myself more as a cosplayer.  I want to become a "somebody."  This could help me later on when it comes to promoting Astor Cos or any other project I might be apart off.  Happy to say that since 2013 kicked off, I already have worn five new cosplays.  Sharrkan (Magi), Kassim (Magi), Bob Makihara (Tenjho Tenge), Sazh Katzroy Prada (FFXIII) and Egil (Sword Art Online).  I have many more cosplays I hope to knock out this year.  My main project will be a Static Shock cosplay (plug suit version).
You can also follow my progress here and my other pages.

Some other cool news.  I'm going to be in a Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt Cosplay Music Video WHOOT!
I'll be playing as Garterbelt.  You know, the big black guy with an afro bigger than me, that is also into little boys, and wears a...gaterbelt. ^^
Yep that guy. It should be fun. Koneko (www.facebook.com/KonekoYourAve…) and  Panicky Kitty (www.facebook.com/PanickyKittyC…) are in the ones that are putting this entire thing together.  I can't say too much about it yet, but you can follow our progress on the project on it's tumblr page.
pantyandstockinglive.tumblr.co…

If you wish to chill, you can find me at Anime Central, Anime Next, Otakon and New York Comic Con.  I don't think that I'll be able to make Anime Boston this year because of the funds and time. I'll also be attending smaller local events like Spring Fest NY, Castle Point Anime Convention and Sakura Matsuri.  

Thanks for reading.

So my super stressful two month relationship with Photo-shop has ended, and with some nice results.  I am happy to say that the Astor Cos Magazine is up and running.  We are piggy backing off Mag Cloud, and at the moment they prove to be a nice printing service.  The magazine it self sells for $25 but has a launching sale. With this sale, a consumer only spends about $20.  Astor Cos kicks off at 70+ pages containing many cosplay and photographer features.  The pricing for the most part should stay consistent with the future issues.

Astor Cos Issue # 1 can be purchased here:
Cover (Illyria)    www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/…
Cover (Halibel)  www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/…
Cover (Vanitas) www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/…

My Workers: :iconknight28: :iconmei-hoshi:
Working on this project was very stressful.  The biggest adaptation I had was working in a group with two other people.  I have visions for my work, and most of the time, I hate conflicting opinions.  I am a very stubborn person and like to see what I imagined completed.  So working with others was really hard for me. I would like to think I could make a good leader, but I fear turning into the tyrant boss types.  I thought of my workers as my partners.  I don't know if this is right or wrong, but I went with it.  Looking back I can see that their are many pros to not being a one man army in this.  My ideas sound great to me but is not always as good as it can be, they helped me fix this.  Reaching out to people and communicating with others became easier and faster.  Advertising is a lot easier and my workers helped me a lot when it came down to networking.  I'm just another guy on Photo-shop from Queens.  Who do I know in this community? No group is perfect, but this one is pretty good.

I want to see Astor Cos get somewhere.
Anyway Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy the magazine.

Astor Cos

1 min read
Getting right o the point, I'm working on a cosplay magazine called Astor Cos.  You might have herd of it.  Astor Cos is a cosplay magazine where I feature cosplayers, photographers, shoots and commissioners.  I also give free edits to about 10 of the featured cosplayers.   We hold reviews on cons and events as well.  It is a lot of work.  Thank God for :iconknight28: and :iconmei-hoshi:, with their help it is looking pretty good.  Astor Cos should be on sale by January -ish.  You can find it online and in stores soon after.  For the most part I'd say the magazine is around 70% complete.  I can say that it should be done by then end of the week.  

People can follow all our updates here on the Astor Cos fan page.

If everything continues to flow smoothly then we should see a release by New Years Day.
