Meet Maul Cosplay at Comic Con Astana 2024
A pleasant surprise at Comic Con Astana was the participation of popular cosplayer Ben Schamm from Germany, known as Maul Cosplay. Maul has gained recognition for his accurate images of heroes from video games and films, Kazinform News Agency reports.
At the international festival, Maul presented two cosplays: Geralt of Rivia, the main character of the Witcher saga, and V from the game Cyberpunk 2077.
In an exclusive interview with Kazinform News Agency, Maul spoke about cosplay tips and how he chooses characters to cosplay.
How do you like the geek culture in Astana and Comic Con itself?
I haven't seen much yet, but I really liked what I saw. It's really cool here.
Can you give advice to new cosplayers who want to become professionals?
Yes, be sure to do a good weathering. No character looks clean. Even if it is clean, its outfit should always look a little worn out, and not like it was just finished and put on. And a good wig is my best advice. Weathering and a good wig are the main thing.
How do you choose a character to cosplay?
Beard. If the character has a beard, I can do it (laughs).
