Since I don’t like when people shake it off as “but you’re talented” when there is a lot of effort, and often YEARS of personal improvements, I would like to get some of my most appreciated cosplays to get a before and after.
First ever try and last pics I took, as the same character. I used only selfies, so I didn’t even take some professional pics. Modified? Absolutely, but I got better at editing as well, so we can say it’s a full improvement in every part of it.
Don’t degrade hard work and perseverance as talent. Talent only means some people may get it faster, but had work is the real deal of everything. There are failures you may not see, as well. Failed tests, experiments, stuff you’re not proud of, but it’s still something to learn from.
