LAUREN EDINGER/INCINERATE

When I was hired to model Incinerate, it was the coolest experience and opportunity. Playing a villian is a dream come true. The character Incinerate is a fiery version of Poison Ivy. I also like dressing up as well. I'm a totally different person when I put on the makeup and costume of Incinerate.

 

I'm generally a shy person but when I'm Incinerate, I'm aggressive and more confident. I like taking pics with other cosplayers and doing my video as Incinerate

Totally opposite of my real self. Incinerate does takes over me. I have more attitude, I'm sassy, totally different but I like it. Many people like Incinerate as she is an original character. Besides taking pics, my potential fans and followers ask me questions about her as she brings attention and brings crowds to me.

When I saw my sketch as Incinerate, my reaction is was "SO COOL!"

I'm a comic book character. An experience I will never forget and glad I'm a part of.

Maybe in the future, I would get a better wig for Incinerate (lol) I really like the character.

I want to add more to her, have more victims maybe change the makeup.

The advice I will give to any potential or future cosplayers/models is don't be afraid. Do what you want. People at cons are accepting of what you wear and do.       

NAKITA NEGRETTE/SHIVERLIQUE

When I interviewed and offer the part to model a comic book character, my reaction was it would be fun. This is a new opportunity and bringing a character to life, would be a new experience. 

The character I model is Shiverlique. She is exciting because she is so creative with her ideas. She brings ice and personality to life. I feel Shiverlique taking over me when I model her especially with the make up and the costume    

It is exciting especially in front of the camera. 

This is new to me appearing as Shiverlique at a comic book convention. Having people coming to me and taking my picture with them and other characters, it is unforgettable. It is       inspiring as these people can be potential fans and followers. 

    

    The advice that I can give to anyone who wants to be a model or cosplayer is study your             work. Every model is different so study your craft. They have to bring their personality and       can not be shy. Watch music videos, movies whatever your dreams are. Get used to rejection       in that there will be one opportunity. You have to have a strong will and never giving up. You     really have to want it.     

    You will be seeing more of me as Shiverlique so stay tuned. In the future, I would like to               model Woman Woman or a new character but fighting for the good side.
