Sure, there are plenty of cosplayers around the world, but among them, there are a select few who take the art of costuming to the next level. One such cosplayer is Carmen V. Estrada, who I had the chance to meet quite a few times in various conventions in the past years. Not only is she immensely talented, making almost all her costumes and makeup from scratch, she’s also a super sweet and humble person. Also, her range of cosplay is impressive, making characters from all walks of life, both male and female, heroes and villains.

Here is a selection of some of our favorite cosplays featuring our beloved Carmen.
