NICE TO MEET YOU!
We are Darling and Sylar Santa Maria! We met in 2009 and have been cosplaying since. Over the last 16 years, we have made hundreds of cosplays, judged competitions internationally, and worked professionally with Cirque Du Soliel, Crypton Media, Bioware, NIS America, Rockstar Games, and more.
We have attended hundreds of conventions as guests, masters of ceremonies, and judges. It is an honor also to be official judges for World Cosplay Summit USA.
Aicosu works as open-book cosplayers to help promote accessibility, ease, and fun in the community. We speak on cosplay for all with workshops on craft, budgeting, photography, posing, and marketing.
(Aicosu 愛コス, aikosu) is a portmanteau of the japanese translation of Love (愛) Cosplay (コスプレ). Or Lover's Cosplay.
