aspiring love for various franchises such as Metal Gear Solid and Final
Fantasy. She is also a part of the cosplay group XX (also based in Arizona). Amie’s
cosplays include Wonder Woman, Female Raiden, Mei Ling, Lightning from Final

What is your Name?
Amie Lynn
Where are you from?
The desert (aka
Arizona). LOLZ
How long have you been cosplaying?
Almost 5 years
now.
What is your favorite cosplay you’ve made
so far?
It's always been
my Lightning costume, I felt very classy. :P
Are there any upcoming outfits that you are
able to share/tell?
A very special LOL
costume that is exclusively made for The Wild Places photo shoot, which will be
taken at the end of this month.
How did you get into cosplay?
Friends mainly!
I'm glad they introduced me or else my life would be much more boring than it
is now hehe
Who’s your favorite video game character?
The Boss from MGS3.
<3
Who’s your favorite comic book character?
Wonder Woman or
The Flash.
What was a memorable con moment? Worst con
moment?
Going with the
right group of friends makes or breaks my convention experience. My favorite
con experience was my first AX and my first group cosplay with friends.
Cosplaying as a group allowed us to hang out together, rather than being pulled
aside separately. Worst con experience…. Any time I have a wardrobe malfunction….
;_;
Do you have a Favorite convention you go
to/been to?
I love Anime Expo!
It's really my favorite. San Diego Comic Con is great too, though I go there to
geek out more than to cosplay though.
What advice would you offer to those that
want to get into cosplay?
Don't be afraid to
reach out to others! Even still, I ask other cosplayers at conventions and
message them about their craft and how they made certain pieces. Being prideful
or nervous is silly, especially when there are so many kind people willing to
give any advice they can. ^^
What is your favorite part of cosplaying as
a character?
I enjoy that
moment when someone goes nuts over your character, because you both get to nerd
out together for a split second! Also when people actually recognize you and
take the time to talk about the character and the game/anime/comic! It's so
great! :)

How did you make this cosplay?
I used
Worbla for the first time on this costume! It is seriously a miracle material
for cosplayers. There is a lot of craft foam as well. :)
How long did it take you to make?
Just
under two weeks! It was pretty nerve-racking, because I got very ill during
about halfway through, but I wanted to finish in time for PAX East, so I
powered through it. Cosplayer problems. Haha!
