I started out as a con-goer back in 2007. It mattered so much to me how accurate and realistic one person can go to look exactly like the character they are cosplaying. So I’d like to take this opportunity to feature some of my favorite Cosplayers, whom I’ve had such honor in meeting and befriending along the way.. -katz

CosFeature n#33: Marky Ilano.. a.k.a. Sheryl Nome

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012! We now enter the year of the Water Dragon. This year promises to be strong and fierce for some, while risky for others. My first feature of the year represents these qualities. When I first saw him, I never looked at “amazing” the same again. His choice of characters always surprises me, if I may speak in general, he surprises us ALL! So let’s give it up.. for MARKEEEEEEEE! *drums*

K- Konnichiwa! Thank you so much for squeezing some time for me.
MI- off course! hollering here XDD

K- Haha yes finally! *glomp* Let us start from the beginning, shall we? What would you like to be called?
MI- Marky.. but others who don’t know my name call me Sheryl Nome because its my FB (facebook) name. I never correct them because i think that would be mean. And i also want to be called by that name, it feels really like i’m the “Galactic Nymph” XDD

One of his famed cosplays, Sheryl Nome (June bride version) – Macross Frontier

K- OxO prettyyyy! Your interest in cosplay, how and when did it start?
MI- Just saw some pictures in the net, i thought it would never happen here in the Phillippines. And then in the year 2006, just saw some advertisement on ABS-CBN that the HATAW!HANEP HERO! 2006. I said to myself, ”i have got to get there!!” XDD

K- Tell me, did you make your first costume back then? Or you had it tailored?
MI – No, i only relied on comic alley hahahaha! Just bought it ready made, i never knew a tailor who make cosplay costumes.

K- Haha let me guess.. Naruto costumes in Comic Alley? hehehe! So do you prefer solo or group cosplays?
MI- both. but depending on the location of the conventions

Macross Frontier group

The Legendary Shinnans – Naruto Series

K- Oh whow that Orochimaru EIPC! TxT How much has cosplay taught you? Pros and Cons?
MI- It HAS taught me so much, where to buy the right fabrics on my costume, where should i buy wigs, how to take care of wigs, the right make-up for the character i will be cosplaying, and the right poses and emotions whenever my pictures are taken.

K- Have you cosplayed abroad as well? If yes, how can you compare it locally? If not, what could you have wished for?
MI- nope…hahahah cosplaying in Japan!!i wonder how my cosplays will have an impact on Japanese teritories hahahaha

K- Gahhhh please don’t eat me! *ahem* Cosplay aside, what do you do outside the hobby/community?
MI- Watching anime, researching for my next costume, and hanging out with my non-otaku friends

K- Based on your experience, how’s about a message to aspiring child-cosplayers out there?
MI- Study first and enjoy every moment. Your costume doesnt have to be expensive, just make friends and treasure them .
