I want all my followers, especially all the cosplayers out there, to watch this video and think twice whenever you see an amazing photo online.

When I first started cosplaying I remember being awed and amazed at perfect looking cosplayers. All races, asian, american, russian etc…. Perfect costumes and clean faces, even looking almost a bit unreal with their beauty. Even as I felt I was starting to get better I always felt insecure that my photos came out looking not so great. 

I want to share this video so you guys realize how many things are corrected by photoshop. And I want you to also be aware that this is very common. 

He doesn’t just changed her size and make her skinny. He alters her facial features, fixes the craftsmanship of her seams, makes her costume the accurate color, gives her makeup, makes her eyes wider, cleans her wig, elongates her arm, and softens her complexion.

I have seen photoshop jobs completely change pictures — AND I have seen them subtly fix things that make big differences in costumes.

I just want everyone to be aware. I’m not saying that photoshop is good or bad. I just want people to be aware of pretend perfectness. Don’t let random photos of perfectly anime looking cosplayers (OR MODELS/CELEBRITIES IN MAGAZINES) make you feel insecure. There are always real world inaccuracies in everybody, thats what makes cosplay so unique.

I can’t help but feel impressed by this person’s photoshop skills..does that make me a horrible person lmao

I probably know know only 5% of the tools that this guy used… My goodness.

LOLOLOL POOR GIRL
