I really try to avoid most internet-based "challenges", as many of them seem quite silly, or useless to me. However, a recent hashtag came across one of the cosplay sites I like to frequent, #cosplaycharactercosplayer. In this challenge, you create a photo mosaic of yourself in real life, you in cosplay, and the character you are portraying. From a character research/personal challenge point of view, looking at my cosplay vs. the actual character gives me a lot of information on where my build/portrayal looks good vs. where I need to improve. Long after this hashtag disappears into the wasteland of forgotten social media challenges, I will continue to do comparison shots to look at where I can improve.
