According to some of these cosplayers, just by changing a few aspects of their costume, such as the wig or the contact lenses, mean a whole lot of difference in improving a cosplay. However, that clearly is not all there is to it as many of them have improved on putting on their facial expressions and have better poses, as well as having better makeup.

It also be safe to say that cosplayers are like fine wine, which become better as time goes along. So get more experience, hone your crafting skills, and learn from your mistakes, because who knows? You might win in the next AFA event, right?
