Since 2012, Vcosplay has been building a name for himself as one of the most recognisable cosplayers on the UK con scene. In this exclusive interview we talk about his famous Totoro build, his Studio Ghibli inspirations and his advice on creating big – and I mean big – builds. We’re also let in on his cosplaying secrets – armour you may unwittingly have lying around your house, how to create a fan system to regulate temperatures at conventions, and how to incorporate a camera system into your costume.
