Shogun_vaalat Interview:

Game Infinite: What initially attracted you to cosplay? How long have you been creating cosplay and what do you like about it?

Shogun_vaalat: What attracted me most to cosplay was the opportunity to represent my favorite characters, feel strong like them and dress beautifully. Cosplay changed my life. I wouldn't have the outgoing attitude I have now if it weren't for this hobby.

Gi: How would you describe your approach to cosplaying a new character?

Shogun_vaalat: Honestly, I focus on the design first and then find out about the story if I don't know it beforehand, but if I do, what motivates me the most when choosing a character is their strength and attitude.

Gi: What are some of the challenges you've faced in cosplay?

Shogun_vaalat: It is very difficult to stand out, but it is not something that complicates the truth for me, although yes, I would like to be better known, I put a lot of love into this work.

Gi: We noticed that you have so many amazing Genshin Impact cosplays. What attracts you to the characters in that game?

Shogun_vaalat: I love the designs. They are such powerful characters and powerful women.

Gi: You have so many awesome 2b cosplay images. For our Gi Channel community @nierinfinite, tell us about your 2b cosplay. What attracted you to the character? What do you love about this game?

Shogun_vaalat: The design, its story, the depth of the game and character, I completely fell in love with it, it is a game that reaches many points of the human being that one questions and the fact that this is reflected in androids surprises me a lot, sometimes I I feel very close to 2b "feelings are forbidden" but in the end I am a sensitive person who loves and cares about others. Definitely one of my favorite games for its aesthetics and story
