We’re spotlighting talent in the cosplay community!

Every month, The Variant showcases cosplayers who display talent, creativity, and a positive voice within the cosplay community.

Hi! I’m Jess, but you can find me just about anywhere as lunardahlia! By day, I work

in a mental health clinic but by night, I craft whatever I can to bring my favorite

fictional characters to life! Cosplay has helped me in so many ways by being my

creative outlet and bringing me into an amazing community

where I have met so many wonderful people!!

I may have started cosplaying only a few years ago, but I went down the rabbit hole

last year and began learning bits from all the different aspects of it. From working

with foam to fabric to body paint, not to mention my newly formed wig obsession,

I absolutely adore every aspect of making my cosplays and

sharing what I can create with all of you!!

I am incredibly grateful to my college roommate who brought me to my

first anime convention and introduced me to cosplay. Without them hyping

me up about it I would not have found this hobby that I’m incredibly

passionate about. Cosplay has brought some of the most amazing people

into my life and I will always cherish it for that.

We are extremely proud to welcome LunarDahlia to The Variant’s Cosplay Spotlight family!!!

When we saw some of her work on Instagram we loved it and put the word

out through our team that we were interested in seeing if she wanted to

be our September Cosplay Spotlight. Luckily for all of you she agreed!!

This month Jess brought us her Trigon from Teen Titans and her Cruiser

D.Va in a gorgeous Cosplay Spotlight brought to you by the gorgeous

eye of our photography director, Tomisina Lynn.
