oh, Jia! I'm so happy I've found you on DA You are my favourite cosplayer along with Kamui, I love so much your works! Plus youv'รจ cosplayed TG, eeheh, my favourite^^ I'd wish to cosplay her as well, but I'm too young! Your Rydia is also a big inspiration for me, I've cosplayed her too, the photo I've upload are a first version not very accurate of the cosplay, but now I work a lot on it, thinking "My work must be good like Jia's". Thank for being such an artist!

JiaJem In reply to BERCECK [2012-11-01 14:48:32 +0000 UTC]
Ahhhhh, wow! Thanks! I have a picture with Kamui from London a few years ago, I love her work ask well! She's an extremely helpful and awesome cosplayer. I know what you mean about feeling too young to cosplay stuff - when I started at 21, I felt too old for the cute stuff, and too young for the serious (and revealing) stuff. Now I'm all like.... I better hurry up and check off my cosplay bucket list before I'm wearing masks with all my costumes to hide my wrinkles. HAHA!!! Thanks for finding me, I'll keep an eye on you!

xD You looks like 23-25 in the photos! Anyway, thanks a lot for the watch, it really means a lot (and for catching my quote from Adams xD)! I'm going to finish Rydia in November, then I'l upload the shooting!

Remember how I've been kicking around that Shadowrun costume idea for years? Well, look what's going down right now. Looks like I should start it soon to keep up with the times

Oh, I *DO*. Watercolor is so unforgiving, especially with your killer outlining - the diligence, man! Your detail is incredible.

Hey welcome to Deviantart!
I feel like i know you from some where.....

Your costumes are amazing I particularly love "Welcome to my alley". and you have some big bobbalones to shave you head for the MA2 cosplay. Crazy props to you and congrats on the magazine feature.
I look forward to seeing more from you.

Nope - we never met, lol! Just an old geezer fan of your work and your girlfriend's work (now wife!) from back in the day.

Did you used to hang with Limebarb?
I showed Haru your photos maybe we just remember you from your cosplay.com? In any case its nice to see your work on here and to get a chance to say hi.
Are you going to Anime Boston?

JiaJem In reply to Jay-Michael-Lee [2012-03-16 21:34:31 +0000 UTC]
yup, I did. Worked with her for years! No Boston this year - I'm based in Chicago. I only made it to the East coast once for Otakon, like 5 years ago. It's about time for another visit!

Jay-Michael-Lee In reply to JiaJem [2012-03-21 12:22:54 +0000 UTC]

Aw, well maybe Haru and I will meet you at a con in the future.
Until then deviantart will have to do. ^_~

Thanks so much for commenting on my costumes! I've always envied your work to the point of being downright intimidated to attempt the same characters you've already cosplayed -- *coughBEATRIX*cough* -- because you pull off everything so freaking flawlessly. Thanks for being an inspiration!

JiaJem In reply to cupcake-rufflebutt [2012-03-01 15:52:46 +0000 UTC]
Woah, thanks! What I love about cosplay is there's no "right" way to construct it, like there is with historical or movie costuming. So even if there are many variations on a costume, they can all be equally fantastic in their own way! XD I'll be looking forward to seeing your Beatrix!

This is very true! Cosplayers are some of the most creative people in the world -- give them all the same design to work off and they'll each find a completely unique way of recreating it.

Wheeeee glad to see you on here! Glad to hear from you in general, in fact. Any avenue to see your excellent work is one I want to hitchhike down even though no one will give me a ride because my appearance is "less than savory."

Savory? Like.... taste-wise? Maybe a serial killer will pick you up. A not picky eater one, that is.
